STARD13 enhances 5-FU sensitivity and cell stemness via inhibiting RhoA activity, and thus YAP translocate from nuclear to cytoplasm.

Notes: (A and B) HCC cells with STARD13 overexpression as well as RhoA or YAP-5SA overexpression were treated with 5-FU, followed by cell viability assay. (C and D) Ki67 mRNA level was detected in cells depicted in (A). (E) The expression of apoptosis executors (cleaved caspase 3 and cleaved PARP) was determined in cells depicted in (A). (FH) Cell sphere’s size and number were measured and depicted in cells with STARD13 overexpression as well as RhoA or YAP-5SA overexpression. Data were presented as mean ± SD; *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs HepG2 or Huh7.

Abbreviations: HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; STARD13, StAR-related lipid transfer domain 13.
