Figure 6. EGFR is required for YAP-mediated apoptosis inhibition.

Figure 6

(a) EGFR knockdown induced apoptosis spontaneously, as detected by Annexin V/PI double staining. The statistic data shown are the means ± SD of three independent experiments. (b) The protein level of cleaved caspase-3 was examined in EGFR-knockdown cells. (c) Apoptotic cells were examined by Annexin V/PI staining after TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL, 48 h) treatment with or without EGF. Statistical data shown are the means ± SD of three independent experiments. (d) AG1478 inhibited YAP-mediated inhibition of TGF-β1-induced apoptosis. YAP overexpressing cells were treated with AG1478 (1 μM) 1 h before TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL) treatment, and the apoptotic cells were determined by Annexin V/PI double staining. The statistic data shown are the means ± SD of three independent experiments. (e) The protein level of cleaved caspase-3 was examined in YAP overexpressing cells treated with TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL) and AG1478 (1 μM). (f) The protein level of cleaved caspase-3 was examined in YAP overexpressing and EGFR-knockdown cells after TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL) treatment. (g) Apoptotic cells in YAP overexpressing and EGFR-knockdown cells were determined after TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL) treatment by Annexin V/PI double staining. The statistic data shown are the means ± SD of three independent experiments. (h) Apoptotic cells were examined in YAP-knockdown cells with or without EGF (50 ng/mL) by Annexin V/PI double staining. The statistic data shown are the means ± SD of three independent experiments.
