The expression levels of YAP, TAZ and phospho-YAP1 in JZ SMCs in the verteporfin-ADS group and ADS group and CCK-8 assay results for the verteporfin-ADS group and negative control group. a Cells were co-cultured with 1 μM verteporfin and then used for western blotting. b The relative fold protein expression of YAP1 normalized against α-tubulin. c The relative fold protein expression of TAZ normalized against α-tubulin. d The relative fold protein expression of phospho-YAP1 normalized against α-tubulin. e Cells were treated with verteporfin, and then a CCK-8 assay was used to test the proliferative ability of ADS JZ SMCs. These experiments were performed two times with three replicates in each experiment. Significance was determined by Student’s t test; ****p < 0.0001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05
