Hippo genes were significantly decreased in hNPCs under HG condition. (a) Western blot analysis revealed decrease in expression of YAP in hNPCs under HG condition. (b) Quantitative analysis shows significant decrease in YAP (70 kDa) protein expression in hNPCs exposed to HG condition. Data is represented as Mean ± SE, n = 3, *p < 0.05. (c) Immunocytochemical analysis confirmed the decrease in YAP (Red) expression in hNPCs exposed to HG. Musashi1 is in green while DAPI is in blue, scale bar = 30 μm. (d) Western blot analysis revealed decrease expression of TAZ in hNPCs exposed to HG condition. (e) Quantitative analysis shows significant decrease in TAZ (55 kDa) protein expression in hNPCs exposed to HG condition. Data is represented as Mean ± SE, n = 3, ***p < 0.001. (f) Immunocytochemical analysis confirmed the decrease in TAZ (Green) expression in hNPCs exposed to HG. Nestin is in red while DAPI is in blue, n = 3, scale bar = 10 μm. (g) Western blot analysis revealed significant decrease in TAZ expression in hNPCs following SLIT1 knockdown. (h) Quantitative analysis shows significant decrease in TAZ expression in hNPCs following SLIT1 knockdown. Data is represented as Mean ± SE, n = 3, **p < 0.01. Uncropped blot images are shown in Supplementary Fig. S2.
