Downregulation of TAZ inhibits retinoblastoma proliferation a) Western blot assay was used to analyze TAZ expression in TAZ-knockdown Y79 cells. b) The effect of TAZ on the proliferation of Y79 cells was determined by the MTT assay. c) Western blot assay was used to analyze TAZ expression in TAZknockdown WERI-Rb-1 cells. d) The effect of TAZ on the proliferation of WERI-Rb- 1 cells was determined by the MTT assay. e–g) Images and quantification of Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells positive for BrdU staining. GAPDH was used as a loading control; student’s t-test was carried out. All data are shown as mean ± SD, *P< 0.05, **P< 0.01
