doi: 10.1016/j.tranon.2026.102700
Figure Lengend Snippet: Piperlongumine (PL) inhibits YAP signaling in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. (A) Western blot analysis of YAP protein levels in MDA-MB-231 and BT549 cells treated with PL (0, 1, and 5 μ M) for 24 h. (B) Western blot analysis of YAP and phosphorylated YAP (p-YAP) expression treated with PL in different time points. (C) Western blot analysis of phosphorylated LATS (p-LATS) and phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK) at different time points after PL treatment. (D) Representative immunofluorescence images of YAP expression in BT549 and MDA-MB-231 cells treated with PL for 24 h at the indicated concentrations, with quantification of nuclear YAP-positive cells. Scale bar, 50 μ m. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01, as determined by unpaired t -tests.
