a Expression of E-cadherin (an epithelial marker) and N-cadherin (a mesenchymal marker) in AGS cells transfected with YAP cDNA plasmid. b After AGS cells were infected with H. pylori strains 7.13 or PMSS1 and their cagA⁻ mutants, Expression of E-cadherin (red) were visualized using Immunofluorescence. c Immunofluorescence was performed for E-cadherin levels. d mRNA levels of YAP downstream genes CTGF, CYR61 and E-cadherin (an epithelial marker) in AGS cells infected with H. pylori strains alone or in combination with VP treatment. e Expression of YAP and mesenchymal markers Slug and N-cadherin in AGS cells treated with CagA⁺H. pylori PMSS1 or 7.13 alone or in combination with VP. f Expression of YAP, epithelial markers E-cadherin and mesenchymal markers N-cadherin in AGS cells treated with CagA⁺H. pylori PMSS1 or 7.13 alone or in combination with YAP siRNA. Data for gene expression are mean ± SEM of 3 independent experiments
