Senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining, Cell viability assays, Annexin V/PI double staining, Caspase 3 activity assay, Western blot analysis, and qPCR were performed to evaluate senescence markers, cell viability, and apoptosis-related proteins after BITC treatment of senescent IPF lung fibroblasts in vitro. Here, CASP3 is linked to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
