Figure 3. YAP promotes SMC proliferation.

Figure 3

A. Retrovirus encoding wild type or 5SA mutant YAP or empty vector were transduced into cultured rat aortic SMCs and then proliferation was measured using a cell proliferation WST-1 kit (Roche) in the different culture medium as indicated. *p<0.05. B. Virus transduced rat aortic SMCs were plated at equal density in 10% FBS medium and then cells were collected and counted at each time point as indicated. *p<0.05. C. Control or YAP silencing duplex were transfected into rat aortic SMCs and cell proliferation was measured using a WST-1 kit or cells were counted at each time point as described above (D). *p<0.05.
