Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. D-AS2 promotes PLD/PA-mediated YAP activation. A, Western blot analyses of YAP and LATS1 phosphorylation. KYSE450 cells expressing EV or D-AS2 were pretreated with FIPI (30 mmol/L) or CAY10594 (20 mmol/L) for 1 hour. Representative results of at least three biological replicates are shown. B, qRT-PCR detection of the YAP target genes CTGF and CYR61. KYSE450 cells expressing EV or D-AS2 were pretreated with FIPI (30 mmol/L) or CAY10594 (20 mmol/L) for 1 hour. The data are presented as the mean SD values; two-tailed t test; , P < 0.001; n ¼ 3 technical replicates. C and D, IF detection of YAP localization in KYSE450 cells expressing EV or D-AS2. Cells were pre- treated with FIPI (30 mmol/L) or CAY10594 (20 mmol/L). YAP localization is shown in C. Scale bar, 30 mm. Cells from three different fields in three independent experiments were randomly selected for quantification of YAP localization (D). The data are expressed as the mean SEM values. E, Western blot analyses of YAP and LATS1 phosphorylation. Serum-starved KYSE30 cells expressing control or D-AS2–target- ing sgRNAs were pretreated with PA (100 mmol/L) for 1 hour. Representative results of at least three biological replicates are shown. F, qRT-PCR detection of the YAP target genes CTGF and CYR61. Serum- starved KYSE30 cells expressing control or D-AS2–targeting sgRNAs were pretreated with PA (100 mmol/L) for 1 hour. The data are presented as the mean SD values; two-tailed t test; , P < 0.001; ns, not significant; n ¼ 3 technical replicates. G and H, IF detection of YAP localization in KYSE30 cells expressing control and D-AS2–targeting sgRNAs and pretreated with PA (100 mmol/L) for 1 hour. YAP local- ization is shown in G. Scale bar, 30 mm. Cells from three different fields in three independent experiments were randomly selected for quantification of YAP localiza- tion (H). The data are expressed as the mean SEM values. I, qRT-PCR detection of the expression of the indicated genes in the samples with chemoresistance or chemosensitivity of patients with esoph- ageal SCC. The data are presented as the mean SEM values; two-tailed t test; n ¼ 17 for chemoresistant patients; n ¼ 17 for chemosensitive patients.
