Objective To investigate the relationship of HBx and its mutant X17-3 with Hippo signaling pathway
and the effects of HBx on cell cycle and apoptosis. Methods L02 cells were transfected with HBx and its mutant
respectively. After 48 h of incubation
the expression levels as well as the phosphorylation status of MST1/2 and yes-associated protein (YAP) were detected by Western blotting. The apoptosis of L02 cells was examined with flow cytometry by Annexin V/PI staining. Results After 48 hours’ transfection
Western blotting showed that the expression levels of p-MST1/2 and
YAP were up-regulated
and those of MST1/2 and p-YAP were down-regulated (
P
0.05). The results of flow cytometry indicated that the transfection of HBx and X17-3 resulted in more apoptotic cells (
P
0.05)
especially in early stage of apoptosis. Conclusion HBx regulates its downstream oncogene
YAP through Hippo signaling pathway. Its also regulates the cell cycle via several ways.
