Fig. 8: Overexpression of YAP promoted podocyte dedifferentiation.

a The effect of YAP overexpression on the expression of snail2 and desmin proteins by western blotting. b Western blotting signals of a were quantified and total protein was normalised to the loading control, β-actin. c: Immunoblotting assay of the effect of YAP overexpression on podocyte marker protein expression. d Immunoblotting quantification of c. Error bars are ± SD. (n = 3 per group). *P < 0.05 vs. negative control group.
