Figure 4. Induction of YAP expression and the YAP knockdown effect in MCF10A cells.

Figure 4

(a) Morphological changes were examined in MCF10A cells after treatment with TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL) for 4 days. (b) The percentage of apoptotic cells were analyzed in NMuMG and MCF10A cell lines after treatment with TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL) for 48 h. The data shown are the means ± SD of three independent experiments. (c) The time effect of YAP expression was detected by immunoblotting after TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL) treatment for the indicated time in MCF10A cells. (d) The dosage effect of YAP expression was detected by immunoblotting after TGF-β1 treatment (48 h) with the indicated dosage in MCF10A cells. (e) Knockdown of YAP induced apoptosis spontaneously in MCF10A cells, as detected by Annexin V/PI staining. The representative images (left) and statistical data (right) were shown. The data are the means ± SD of three independent experiments. (f) Mesenchymal markers (fibronectin, N-cadherin) were detected by immunoblotting in YAP-knockdown cells after TGF-β1 (5 ng/mL, 48 h) treatment in MCF10A cells.
