Effects of dopamine (DA) on mRNA and protein expression of factors in the YAP-TGF-β-Smad signaling pathway in ARPE-19 cells.

(A) RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of DRD1, DRD2, YAP, TEAD, and TGF-β2 in ARPE-19 cells, (B)Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of SMAD7, YAP, TEAD, and TGF-β2 in ARPE-19 cells, (C) Quantitative analysis of DRD1, DRD2, YAP, TEAD and TGF-β2 mRNA expression levels in ARPE-19 cells.(D) quantitative results of protein expression of SMAD7, YAP, TEAD, and TGF-β2 in ARPE-19 cells. (E) Protein expression of TGF-β2 in the supernatant of ARPE-19 cell cultures, determined using ELISA. Data are reported as the means ± SD, n = 3. *p p p (ZIP)
