A cross-section of the retinal pigment epithelium in an ACE2-expressing mouse infected with SARS-CoV-2. Top image: Bright-field view with immunofluorescence showing SARS-CoV-2 N-protein (green) and complement component C3b (magenta). Bottom image: Immunofluorescence of C3b alone. Widespread C3b accumulation is visible, even though N-protein expression is limited to two small regions. Scale bars: 50 µm.

Figure 4. Effect of 2-BP treatment on senescence markers. Levels of p-p53 (A), HMGB1 (B), and lamin B1 (C) were measured in cell extracts from VSMCs. Cells were either pretreated with 2-BP for 24 hours before doxorubicin (DOX) treatment or treated with 2-BP alone for the specified durations. Protein levels were assessed using Western blotting, with representative blots shown (the red line indicates where the blot was cut) (D). Data are presented as means ± SEM from N=3 biological replicates. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA; *p
