To further validate the role of IGFBP7 on the c-Fos/YAP/TEAD1/TEAD4 signaling axis in human lungs, we analyzed the expression of IGFBP7/c-Fos/YAP/TEAD1/TEAD4 in lung tissues of ARDS patients and para-cancerous tissues of lung cancer patients collected previously [16]. The gene discussed is YAP1; the disease is lung carcinoma.
