Role of TAZ in LPA-induced migration and proliferation of MEFs. (A) Wild-type MEFs (control) and TAZ-knockout MEFs (TAZ-KO) were treated with the various concentrations of LPA for 12 h, followed by a chemotactic migration assay. Data indicate mean ± SD. *p<0.05 (n=8). (B) Inhibition of LPA-induced proliferation in the TAZ-knockout MEFs is shown. Wild-type MEFs (control) and TAZ-knockout MEFs (TAZ-KO) were treated with vehicles or LPA (10 μM) for 3 days. The number of cells were counted and compared with those of the control cells. TAZ-knockout MEFs exhibited decreased LPA-induced proliferation for 3 days. The cellular proliferation rate was determined via cell counting using trypan blue inclusion assay. Data indicate mean ± SD. *p<0.05 (n=6). (C) Time-course of LPA-induced TAZ expression is shown. Wild-type MEFs (control) and TAZ-knockout MEFs (TAZ-KO) were treated with vehicle or LPA (10 μM) for the indicated periods. The expression levels of TAZ and GAPDH were determined using Western blotting.
