Figure Legend Snippet: Overexpression of active YAP and TAZ represses COX-2. Human PASMCs (Lonza) were stably transfected with FLAG-tagged, nuclear-localizing YAP (YAP5SA) or TAZ (TAZ4SA), similar constructs lacking TEAD-binding capability (YAP5SA S94A, TAZ4SA S51A), or control vector (pLVX-Puro). RNA was isolated and assessed for YAP (A), TAZ (B), and COX-2 (C) expression via qPCR. Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA testing was performed on ΔCT values, and Dunn’s posttest was performed. Relative expression is displayed ± SD; n = 2–4 independent experiments. D–H: protein was isolated and Western blot was performed for TAZ, YAP, ANKRD1, FLAG, and COX-2. Quantification represents 3 independent experiments; representative blots are shown. *P < 0.05 for YAP5SA compared with pLVX-Puro and TAZ4SA. **P < 0.05 for TAZ4SA compared with pLVX-Puro and YAP5SA. #P < 0.05 for TAZ4SA compared with pLVX-Puro. ¥P < 0.01 for pLVX-Puro compared with TAZ4SA and YAP5SA. I: levels of 6-keto-PGF1α were measured by ELISA. Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA. *P = 0.02, **P = 0.009 compared with pLVX-Puro. #P = NS. n = 3 experiments. J: TAZ4SA-expressing cells and control (pLVX-Puro)-expressing cells were seeded onto discrete stiffness polyacrylamide gels with shear moduli of 0.4, 6.4, and 25.6 kDa. 6-keto-PGF1α concentrations were measured by ELISA and normalized to cell number. Statistical significance was determined by two-way ANOVA; n = 2 independent experiments.

Figure Legend Snippet: YAP/TAZ knockdown enhances COX-2 expression and activity. Human PASMCs (Lonza) were grown on discrete stiffness polyacrylamide gels with shear moduli of 0.4, 6.4, and 25.6 kPa with or without siControl or siYAP/TAZ transfection. A–E: RNA was isolated 48 h after treatment, and qPCR was performed to assess COX-2 (A and B), COX-1 (C), PTGER2 (D), and PTGIR (E) expression. Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA testing was performed on ΔCT values, and Dunn’s posttest was performed. Relative expression is displayed ± SD; n = 6 independent experiments. No significant differences in COX-1, PTGER2, or PTGIR expression were observed. F and G: protein was isolated and Western blotting performed using anti-COX-2 (Santa Cruz) and anti-GAPDH (Santa Cruz) antibodies. n = 3 independent experiments, representative blots are shown. H: levels of 6-keto-PGF1α were measured in media by ELISA and normalized to cell number. Statistical significance was determined by two-way ANOVA; n = 3 independent experiments.
Techniques Used: Knockdown, Expressing, Activity Assay, Shear, Transfection, Isolation, Western Blot, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay
