Activation of YAP diminishes chondrogenesis and cilium elongation in SMSCs. (A) Western blot analysis of Ace-Tubulin, phosphorylated Yes-associated protein (YAP), YAP, Col II, and SOX9 in synovial mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs) treated with lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and treated with docetaxel (D) for 1 week. (B) Quantification of the data of (A). n = 5. (C) Western blot analysis of IFT88, SMO, and GLI1 in SMSCs treated with lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and treated with docetaxel (D) for 1 week. (D) Quantification of the data of (C). n = 5. (E) Immunofluorescence staining for ARL13B in SMSCs. (F) Quantification of (E) for the number and length of primary cilia in SMSCs. n = 5. Data are represented as the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001.
