From: Caveolin-1 mediates soft scaffold-enhanced adipogenesis of human mesenchymal stem cells
Analysis of CAV1 and YAP/TAZ levels during adipogenesis as a function of scaffold stiffness and treatment with si-CAV1. Cells were treated with si-CTRL or si-CAV1 and then seeded in soft or stiff scaffolds. The samples were collected on day 3 and analyzed by a the Western blot to assess protein levels in different groups. Levels of b CAV1 and c YAP, p-YAP, and TAZ were quantified based on band intensities from Western blots. For each protein analyzed, all values are presented relative to that in soft si-CTRL. N = 3. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001
