A, B CCK-8 and Transwell assays were used to determine the effect of MK-2206 (10 μM, DMSO as a control) on PLC/PRF/5-DAGLA cells. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. C Western blotting analysis revealed that MK-2206 treatment (48 h) increased the p-LATS1 and p-YAP levels in PLC/PRF/5-DAGLA cells to some extent. D IF staining and Western blotting analysis (E) showed that MK-2206 slightly blocked YAP nuclear translocation in PLC/PRF/5-DAGLA cells. Scale bars, 10 μm. F Western blotting analysis was used to determine the effect of SC79 (10 μM, 1 h; DMSO as the control) on the levels of the indicated proteins in Hep3B-shDAGLA cells. G WB demonstrated that SC79 facilitated YAP nuclear transport, which was partially inhibited by DAGLA downregulation. H qRT–PCR confirmed the efficiency of cotransfection of YAP and DAGLA modulation constructs. IL CCK-8 and Transwell assays were used to explore the effects of YAP OE or KD on Hep3B-shDAGLA or PLC/PRF/5-DAGLA cells, respectively. **P < 0.01. M WB indicated the regulation of the Hippo signalling pathway in cell lines cotransfected with YAP and DAGLA modulation constructs.
