YAP1 modulates the effects of CENPK on HCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.

Notes: (A) YAP1 and CYR61 expression in SMMC-7721 cells was detected by Western blotting. (BE) Restoration of YAP1 partially rescued the inhibitory effect on proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion in CENPK knockdown SMMC-7721 cells as determined by the (B) CCK-8 assay, (C) colony formation assay, (D) wound healing assay, and (E) transwell assay. Scale bar =100 µm. sh represents shCENPK group; sh + nc represents shCENPK + pcDNA3.1-YAP1-NC plasmid group; sh + YAP1 represents shCENPK + pcDNA3.1-YAP1 plasmid group. The Yap1 signaling pathway modulates the effects of CENPK on HCCEMT progress. **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.

Abbreviations: HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; CCK-8, Cell Counting Kit-8; NC, negative control.
