Feedback activation of Hippo signaling protects against developmental defects in the YapS112A animals. (A) Gross appearance of livers and quantification of liver/body weight ratio of Nf2flox/flox and Nf2flox/flox; YapS112A/S112A mice 8 wk after Ad-Cre injection. Data are mean ± SD from five animals of each genotype. (*) P < 0.05, t-test. Bar, 1 cm. (B) H&E, pan-CK, and phospho-Histone H3 (PH3) staining of liver sections from Nf2flox/flox and Nf2flox/flox; YapS112A/S112A littermates 8 wk after Ad-Cre injection. Note the increased BEC proliferation in Nf2flox/flox; YapS112A/S112A mutant livers compared with those of Nf2flox/flox mutant livers. Bar, 100 µm. (C) Western blot analysis of liver protein lysates from wild-type, YapS112A/S112A, Nf2flox/flox and Nf2flox/flox; YapS112A/S112A mice 2 mo after Ad-Cre injection. The graph shows quantification of YAP relative to tubulin from the four genotypes. Data are mean ± SD from three animals for each genotype. (*) P < 0.05, t-test.
