Fig. 4. YAP inhibits autophagy and promotes the growth of CRC cells in vivo.
SW620 cells with stable YAP overexpression (YAP), knocking down of YAP (shYAP), or control cells (Blank) were subcutaneously injected into nude mice. A Tumor size and D body weight of the mice were measured twice a week. B Tumor tissues were collected from the sacrificed mice nearly 5 weeks after injection of the cells, and C weights of the formed tumors were measured for statistic analysis. E The expressions of YAP and LC3B in the tumor tissues were measured by western blot, using GAPDH as a loading control. F The expression of YAP and Bcl-2 in the tumor tissues was detected by IHC. Data represent mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
