Studies showed that VP inhibits H. pyroli-induced proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of gastric cancer cells by disrupting the YAP1/TEAD4- Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) axis and blocking transcription of EMT-related genes (Kang et al., 2018; Li N. et al., 2018). Here, YAP1 is linked to gastric cancer.
