Tea-derived carbon nanodots dysregulate SUMOylation and sensitize cancer cells to Rapamycin. (A) ARF overexpression increases co-localization of SUMO and non-nuclear YAP in HELA cells. (B) Treatment of cancer cells by C-dots increases co-localization of SUMO and non-nuclear YAP in PC3 cells. (C) and (D) Treatment of cancer cells by C-dots sensitizes PC3 cells to rapamycin. (E) A proposed ARF/YAP regulatory model and inhibition of YAP by combinatorial targeting. Scale bars, 20 µm.
