YAP- or TAZ-dominant gastric cancer and VP treatment. (A) Kato III, NUGC-4 and MKN-74 cells exhibited a YAP-dominant expression pattern. MKN-45 cells demonstrated a TAZ-dominant expression pattern. VP significantly suppresses the proliferation of (B) MKN-45 cells compared with (C) MKN-74 cells at 24 h, and it took 72 h to achieve the same level of proliferation suppression in MKN-74 cells. (D) VP decreased the concentration of crystal violet in MKN-45 cells in a dose-dependent manner over 24 h. (E) The uptake of VP was faster in MKN-45 cells than MKN-74 cells. The CNT group was treated with an equal volume of DMSO. *P<0.05; **P<0.01 vs. control. CNT, control; DMSO, dimethyl sulfoxide; YAP, yes-associated protein; TAZ, transcriptional co-activator with a PDZ-binding domain; VP, verteporfin.
