Figure Lengend Snippet: TROP2 confers ferroptosis resistance by inactivating YAP to suppress HMOX1 transcription. ( A ) YAP1 mRNA levels in H292 and PC9 cells with TROP2 knockdown, as determined by qRT-PCR. ( B ) YAP1 mRNA levels in PC9 and A549 cells with TROP2 overexpression, as determined by qRT-PCR. ( C ) Representative IF images showing enhanced nuclear localization of YAP (green) in PC9 cells upon TROP2 knockdown. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar, 50 μm. ( D ) Representative IF images showing suppressed nuclear localization of YAP (green) in PC9 cells upon TROP2 overexpression. Scale bar, 50 μm. ( E ) Western blot analysis of YAP protein levels in nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions of PC9 and H292 cells with or without TROP2 knockdown. ( F ) Quantitative analysis (bar graph) of the bands was shown adjacent to the representative blots (from E). ( G, H ) Cell viability assessed by CCK-8 assay in PC9 and H292 cells with TROP2 knockdown, with or without concomitant YAP inhibition, following RSL3 treatment. ( I,J ) Measurement of cellular GSH levels in PC9 and H292 cells under the indicated conditions. ( K, L ) Measurement of cellular MDA levels in PC9 and H292 cells under the indicated conditions. Data are presented as mean ± SD ( n = 3). Statistical significance was determined by two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test ( A , B , F ); two-way ANOVA followed by Sidak’s post hoc test or three-way ANOVA followed by Sidak’s post hoc test ( G - L ). ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01
Article Snippet: After that, the membranes were blocked in 5% fat-free milk for 1 h. The membranes were incubated with the primary antibodies including TROP2 (1:1000, cat #47866, CST), GPX4 (1:1000, cat #AF7020, Beyotime), SLC7A11 (1:1000, cat #AF7992, Beyotime), ACSL4 (1:1000, cat #AG1908, Beyotime), HMOX1 (1:1000, cat #AG2181, Beyotime), YAP1 (1:1000, cat #14074, CST), P-YAP1 (1:1000, cat #13619, CST), LATS1 (1:1000, cat #3477, CST), p-LATS1 (1:1000, cat #9157, CST), Histone3 (1:1000, cat #9715, CST),α-Tubulin (1:1000, cat #2144, CST) at 4 °C overnight and the secondary antibodies at room temperature for 2 h. Protein bands were visualized using the ECL (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).
