Extended Data Fig. 9: Pharmacological inhibition of Yap signaling ameliorates kidney fibrosis and promotes mitochondrial OXPHOS.

(a) qPCR analysis showing Tead1, Tead2, Tead3, and Tead4 mRNA levels in vehicle (Veh.) and VT103-treated kidneys after IRI (n = 5). (b) Quantitative data for the protein expression of COL1A1, FN, and α-SMA in vehicle and VT103-treated kidneys after IRI (n = 5). (c) Quantitative data for MTS and immunohistochemical staining (α-SMA, COL1A1, and CD45) in vehicle and VT103-treated mice kidneys after IRI (Sham, n = 3; IRI, n = 5). (d) Quantitative data for the protein expression of SDHB and NDUFB8 in vehicle and VT103-treated mice kidneys after IRI (n = 5). Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. Differences between groups were analyzed using two-sided unpaired t tests or one-way ANOVA followed by the Student-Newman-Keuls test.
