Real-time PCR showing that knockdown of YAP in ME180 cells with YAP siRNA (siYAP) significantly suppressed AREG-induced AREG mRNA expression. siCTRL (non-target siRNA) was used as a siRNA control. Each bar represents mean ± SEM (n = 4). Bars with different letters are significantly different from each other (siCTRL vs. siCTRL+AREG, P < 0.0001; siYAP+CTRL vs. siYAP+AREG, P < 0.0001; siCTRL+AREG vs. siYAP+AREG, P = 0.0037).
