Effects of KIBRA and YAP overexpression on podocyte cytoskeleton and YAP localization.
A, representative Western blots showing ectopic overexpression of KIBRA alone and co-overexpression of KIBRA and YAP in murine podocytes. B, representative immunofluorescence images showing actin (phalloidin), focal adhesions (paxillin), YAP, and nuclei (Hoechst 33342) for control, KIBRA OE, and KIBRA/YAP OE podocytes. Insets within the paxillin images show zoomed-in morphological characteristics of representative focal adhesion sites. Scale bar, 100 μm.
