Infection with CagA+ but not CagA− H. pylori strains activated the YAP pathway signaling. Levels of YAP and CagA in AGS cells which were co-cultured with CagA+ H. pylori strains PMSS1 (a) or 7.13 (b) for 6 h were detected using Western blotting. c qPCR quantitation of mRNA levels of YAP and its target downstream target genes CTGF and CYR61 was performed
