Figure 2. YAP inhibits TGF-β1-induced apoptosis.

Figure 2

(a) Ectopic expression of YAP and YAPS127A was detected by immunoblotting. (b) Nuclear expression of YAP was examined in YAP and YAPS127A overexpressing cells. (c) Apoptotic cells and morphological changes were preliminarily observed by microscopic examination in YAP and YAPS127A overexpressing cells 48 h after TGF-β1 treatment (10 ng/mL). Cells were imaged at 40× magnification. (d) The inhibition of TGF-β1-induced (10 ng/mL, 48 h) apoptosis by overexpression of YAP and YAPS127A was detected by Annexin V/PI double staining. The statistic data shown are the means ± SD of three independent experiments. (e) The cleaved caspase-3 level was determined by immunoblotting in YAP and YAPS127A overexpressing cells in response to TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL, 48 h).
