a The construction of the 14-3-3ζ (Homo) plasmid was performed by GeneCopoeia. b, c
YWHAZ was knocked down and overexpressed at the mRNA level in HK-2 cells. *P < 0.05 and ***P < 0.001 versus the sham group, n = 3. d–g After 14-3-3ζ knockdown, the expression of p-YAP was decreased, and the expression of active YAP was increased. However, the in vitro overexpression of 14-3-3ζ yielded the opposite effect. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001 versus the NC group, n = 3. h Co-IP results showed that YAP can combine with 14-3-3ζ in renal tubular epithelial cells.
