Fig. 4. YAP1 inhibition induced apoptosis and suppressed initial survival in ALK-rearranged cells.

Fig. 4

a Initial survival rates of KTOR1 and KTOR2 when cells were exposed to ALC or vehicle in combination with the knockdown of YAP1. Summarized results are shown in this panel. Significance was evaluated using a one-way ANOVA followed by Sidak’s multiple comparison test. Complete results, including H2228, are shown in Supplement Fig. 4a). b Apoptosis assay using Caspase-Glo® in KTOR1 and KTOR2 cells exposed to ALC or vehicle in combination with the knockdown of YAP1. Significance was evaluated using a one-way ANOVA followed by Sidak’s multiple comparison test. Results for H2228 are shown in Supplementary Fig. 4b). c Cell viability assay for ALC exposure in KTOR1 and KTOR2 cells in the presence of VER, a YAP1 inhibitor. Significance was evaluated using a two-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test. Results for H2228 are shown in Supplementary Fig. 4c). d Schematic explanation of the results in this Figure. The inhibition of YAP1 induced apoptosis and reduced initial survival when ALK-rearranged lung cancer was treated with ALC. ALC: alectinib, S.C. scramble control, VER verteporfin.
