YAP -promoted LRP1 was depended on transcription in the A375 cells. (a,b) Western blots of LRP1 in melanoma A375 cells infected with GFP-sh or LRP1-sh1or LRP1-sh2 (a); relative LRP1 protein levels were shown as the ratio between LRP1 and GAPDH, and protein levels of the A375 cells infected with GFP-sh was arbitrarily set to 100% (b). (c,d) Western blots of YAP in melanoma A375 cells a transfected with GFP-sh or YAP-FLAG (c); relative LRP1 protein levels were shown as the ratio between YAP and GAPDH, and protein levels of melanoma A375 cells infected with GFP-sh were arbitrarily set to 100% (d). (e,f) Western blots of LRP1 in melanoma A375 cells transfected with GFP-sh or LRP1-FLAG (e); relative LRP1 protein levels were shown as the ratio between LRP1 and GAPDH, and protein levels of the A375 cells infected with GFP-sh were arbitrarily set to 100% (f). (g,h) Western blots of LRP1 in melanoma A375 cells infected with GFP-sh or YAP-sh1or YAP-sh2 (g); relative LRP1 protein levels were shown as the ratio between LRP1 and GAPDH, and protein levels of the A375 cells infected with GFP-sh were arbitrarily set to 100% (h). (i) The LRP1 protein in melanoma A375 cells transfected with empty or YAP-FLAG plasmids was detected using Western blot after adding CHX (50 μg/ml) for indicated time (upper panel). And the LRP1 protein was normalized to that of GAPDH. The 0 h time point was arbitrarily set to 100% (lower panel). (j) Time-dependent Caspase 3/7 activities after CHX (50 μg/ml) of LRP1 in the indicated A375 cells. The blue line was represented the control group; The red line was represented the YAP-FLAG group. (k) Time-dependent Caspase 3/7 activities after CHX (50 μg/ml) of YAP in the indicated A375 cells. The blue line was represented the control group; The red line was represented the YAP-FLAG group. (l) Relative mRNA of LRP1 in melanoma A375 cells infected with GFP-sh or YAP-sh1 or YAP-sh2.(m,n) Immunofluorescence assays using anti-YAP and anti-LRP1 antibodies (lower panel). Scale bar, 10 μM. (o,p) Knockdown of YAP inhibited the activity of LRP1 promoter and over-expressed YAP stimulated the activity of LRP1 promoter, LRP1 promoter containing −2000 bp to +150 bp luciferase activities were measured in melanoma A375 cells with control which were transfecting PGL4/Basic. Data were shown as mean ± SD from three independent experiments (including WB). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 versus control measured by the student t test.
