YAP and LRP1’s function in promoting transformative phenotypes in melanoma MUM-2B cells. (a,b) Cell proliferation of melanoma MUM-2B cells under infection of YAP-sh plasmid or LRP1-sh plasmid as indicated were evaluated using MTT assay respectively. The initial cell number is 5000 for MTT assay, and the data from the “GFP-sh” group were arbitrarily set to 100%. (c,d) Caspase 3/7 activities of melanoma cells under infection of YAP-sh plasmid or LRP1-sh plasmid as indicated were measured by a Caspase-Glo 3/7 assay kit from Promega. (e) YAP and LRP1 reduced Caspase 3 expression, as measured by immunofluorescence assay, in MUM-2B cells infected of YAP-sh plasmid or LRP1-sh plasmid for 24 h. Scale bar.μm. (f,g) Cell proliferation of melanoma MUM-2B cells under infection of YAP-sh plasmid or LRP1-sh plasmid as indicated were evaluated using transwell assay. The initial cell number is 5000 for transwell assay, and the data from the “GFP-sh” group were arbitrarily set to 100%. (h) Cell proliferation of melanoma MUM-2B cells under transfection of YAP-FLAG plasmid or LRP1-FLAG plasmid as indicated were evaluated using MTT assay. (i) Caspase 3/7 activities of melanoma cells under transfection of YAP-FLAG plasmid or LRP1-FLAG plasmid as indicated were measured by a Caspase-Glo 3/7 assay kit from Promega. (j,k) Cell proliferation of melanoma MUM-2B cells under transfection of YAP-FLAG plasmid or LRP1-FLAG plasmid as indicated were evaluated using transwell assay. Data were shown as mean ± SD from three independent experiments. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 versus control measured by the student t test.
