a After DF treatment together with 100 nM rapamycin administration for 12 h, western blot analysis was performed to show the expression of BECLIN 1, LC3II/ LC3I, and p62. Numbers under the blots were mean ± SD of three biologically independent experiments, and the first lane (Mock) was served as relative control. b Immunofluorescence staining showed the total abundance and nuclear enrichment of YAP protein in the presence of 100 nM rapamycin for 12 h. c Luciferase assay showed the activity of 8 × GTIIC reporter in HUVECs exposed to 100 nM of rapamycin treatment under DF for 12 h, and d real-time PCR showed the expression levels of YAP downstream genes CTGF and CYR61. e Immunofluorescence assay showed that chloroquine treatment enhanced YAP staining in the cytoplasm under UF. f Luciferase assay showed the activity of 8 × GTIIC reporter in HUVECs exposed to chloroquine under UF. Data represent mean ± SD of three independent experiments (**P < 0.01, *P < 0.05, vs. the control).
