Meanings of regulate yap in English

Progesterone promotes both neonatal and adult cardiomyocyte proliferation by up- regulating YAP expression.

Progesterone up- regulated YAP expression and knockdown of YAP by small interfering RNA reduced progesterone-mediated cardiomyocyte proliferative effect.

Here, we define a novel role for vertebrate Llgl1 in regulating Yap stability in cardiomyocytes, which impacts heart development.

Progesterone receptor interacted with the YAP promoter, determined by ChIP and EMSA; progesterone increased luciferase activity of YAP promoter and up- regulated YAP target genes.

Consistent with the role of Llgl1 in regulating Yap stability, cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of Yap in Llgl1-depleted embryos ameliorated pericardial effusion and restored blood flow velocity.
