  10. Dong J, et al. Cell. 2007 Sep 21;130(6):1120-33. Jo2 Ab H&E Tunel BrdU 1 week Dox (B and C) YAP overexpression drives cell proliferation. Control (B) and ApoE/rtTA-YAP (C) livers after 1 week of Dox exposure were analyzed for BrdU incorporation (red), counterstained with DAPI (blue).(D–H) YAP overexpression confers potent resistance to apoptosis. Control and ApoE/rtTA-YAP littermates were kept on Dox for 1 week, injected with Jo-2, and analyzed 3 hr postinjection by H&E staining (D and E), TUNEL (F and G), and western blotting for cell death markers (H). Note the widespread hemorrhage (asterisk) and apoptotic nuclei (arrowhead) in the control (D), but not the transgenic livers (E). Also note the extensive TUNEL staining in the control (F), but not the transgenic livers (G). In (H), cleavage of caspase-3 (Casp3) and PARP was detected in the control, but not the transgenic, livers (arrowhead marks the cleaved PARP product). Three animals were analyzed for each genotype.(I) RNAi knockdown of BIRC5/survivin reduces the transforming activity of YAP. Left: western blots showing increased BIRC5/survivin expression in YAP-HPNE cells compared to mock transfected cells, and the knockdown of BIRC5/survivin expression in YAP-HPNE cells stably expressing BIRC5/survivin shRNA. Right: soft agar assay showing anchorage-independent growth of YAP-HPNE cells, a feature that is not observed in the mock-transfected HPNE cells. Note that YAP-HPNE cells stably expressing BIRC5/survivin shRNA formed reduced numbers of colonies.

  11. 3 months dox (at birth) 8 weeks dox (at 3 weeks) (A) Liver from an ApoE/rtTA-YAP mouse raised on Dox for 8 weeks, starting at 3 weeks after birth. Note the presence of discrete nodules scattered throughout the liver (arrowheads). (B) Liver from an ApoE/rtTA-YAP mouse raised on Dox for 3 months, starting at birth. Note the widespread development of HCC throughout the liver. (C–E) Histolopathologic examination of murine liver nodules reveals characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma. Mice were fed Dox-water as in (A). (C) shows cellular pleiomorphism of YAP-induced HCC, with a large cell (arrow) surrounded by smaller cells. (D) shows loss of cytoplasmic staining (arrows), or the so called “clear cell change.” (E) shows expanded hepatic plates. A reticulin stain highlights the edges of the hepatic plates (indicated by parallel lines), which are wider in HCC than the typical 1 to 2 cells in a nonneoplastic liver. (F) Survival curves of control (Non-Tg) and ApoE/rtTA-YAP (Tg) littermates raised on Dox, starting at 3 or 8 weeks of age as indicated. Dong J, et al. Cell. 2007 Sep 21;130(6):1120-33.

  13. 5 weeks 5 weeks Camargo FD, et al. Curr Biol. 2007 Dec 4;17(23):2054-60 (A) Schematic representation of liver-specific doxycycline-inducible YAP1 allele. The tetracycline transactivator (tTA) expression is driven by the liver activator protein (LAP) promoter. A tetracycline regulatable allele of YAP1-S127A was integrated downstream of the Col1A1 locus. (B) Gross morphology of the liver in control and YAP1 transgenic mice induced for 5 weeks (top) and mice induced for 5 weeks followed by reversal of YAP1 activation for another 5 weeks (bottom).
