Figure 2. Angiotensin II (Ang II) activated Yes-associated protein (YAP) in cardiac myofibroblast transdifferentiation. A-C, The expression of YAP was significantly decreased by infecting lentiviral shRNA targeting YAP. Scale bar: 50 μm. Data are reported as means±SD. ***P<0.001 vs shRNA control + PBS (1); ##P<0.01 and $P<0.05 vs shRNA control + Ang II (2) (ANOVA). 3: shRNA YAP + PBS; 4: shRNA YAP + Ang II. Each experiment was conducted 3 times in triplicate.
