Time (Days) YAP improves cell proliferation *:p<0.05。
YAP induces anchorage-independent growth MIHA-YAP cells but not MIHA-Vec could form colonies in soft-agar.
YAP enhances cellular mobility and invasiveness MIHA-YAPcells gained advantages in cell migration and invasion.
IHC results of YAP in HCC 53.7% HCC samples showed nuclear YAP positive.
Clinical association of nuclear YAP and HCC-specific postsurgical recurrence Kaplan-Meier Median RFT: Nuclear YAP negative: 25.8 months vs. Nuclear YAP positive:12.9months
Cox Regression Nuclear YAP is an independent prognostic marker for HCC recurrence
Summary • YAP confers tumorigenic and metastatic potentials in hepatocytes, as evidenced by enhanced aptitudes in cell viability, anchorage-independent growth, migration and invasion. • YAP nuclear accumulation was found in the 53.7% of HCC, correlated with poorer tumor differentiation and higher serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels. • Nuclear YAP is an independent predictor for HCC-specific recurrence-free survival. • YAP plays an important role in HCC development and progression.
