YAP transcriptionally regulates ErbB2 to promote liver cell proliferation

ABSTRACT: The Hippo signaling pathway is implicated in regulation of liver size and dysregulation of this pathway contributes to tumorigenesis. The transcriptional targets and downstream pathways of the Hippo pathway effector YAP that contribute to liver growth have yet to be well-characterized. We examined the liver transcriptome in response to YAP overexpression and identify the ErbB signaling pathway as a mediator of cell growth downstream of YAP. ErbB2 is transcriptionally regulated by YAP in both the mouse liver and in HepG2 human hepatoma cells. Knockdown of YAP or pharmacological inhibition with verteporfin reduced ERBB2 levels in HepG2 cells. Analysis of ChIP-seq data revealed enrichment of the transcription factor TEAD4 at the ERBB2 promoter. Using luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, we show that YAP and TEAD directly bind to and activate a regulatory element in the ErbB2 promoter in both the mouse liver and HepG2 cells. Functionally, knockdown of YAP reduced EGF-induced ERBB2-mediated HepG2 cell proliferation and PI3K/AKT activation. Our findings highlight a mechanism by which YAP exerts its effects on liver cell proliferation through the ErbB signaling pathway by directly regulating the transcription of ErbB2.

Impact of Verteporfin on HCC cells

Project description:Together with TEAD4 the Hippo pathway effector YAP stimulates chromosomal instability. Verteporfin is known to disrupt the physical YAP/TEAD interaction and tehrefore might prevent from chromosomal instability in liver cancer. Immortalized HCC cell line hepG2 is treated with Verteporfin for 24 hours.

Transcriptional targets of Hippo signaling in mammalian cells

Project description:The Hippo pathway is an emerging signaling cascade involved in the regulation of organ size control. It consists of evolutionally conserved protein kinases that are sequentially phosphorylated and activated. The active Hippo pathway subsequently phosphorylates a transcription coactivator, YAP, which precludes its nuclear localization and transcriptional activation. Identification of transcriptional targets of YAP in diverse cellular contexts is therefore critical to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms in which the Hippo pathway restricts tissue growth. We used microarrays to profile the gene expression patterns upon acute siRNA knockdown of Hippo pathway components in multiple mammalian cell lines and identified a set of genes representing immediate transcriptional targets of the Hippo/Yap signaling pathway. Three mammalian cell lines (HEK293T, HepG2, HaCaT) were transfected with scramble siRNA controls or siRNAs against NF2 and LATS2, two core components of the Hippo pathway, simultaneously. Total RNAs were harvested four days after transfection to reveal the gene expression pattern unsing microarry. YAP and TAZ siRNAs were also transfected along with NF2 and LATS2 siRNAs to identify YAP/TAZ-dependent transcriptional targets upon loss of NF2/LATS2.

Global microRNA expression analysis in mouse liver normal tissues and liver tumors induced by deletion of Nf2 (merlin).

Project description:Global downregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) is commonly observed in human cancers and can have a causative role in tumorigenesis. The mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Here we show that YAP, the downstream target of the tumor-suppressive Hippo signaling pathway regulates miRNA biogenesis in a cell density-dependent manner. At low cell density, nuclear YAP binds and sequesters p72 (DDX17), a regulatory component of the miRNA processing machinery. At high cell density, Hippo-mediated cytoplasmic retention of YAP facilitates p72 association with Microprocessor and binding to a specific sequence motif in pri-miRNAs. Inactivation of the Hippo pathway or expression of constitutively active YAP causes widespread miRNA suppression in cells and tumors and a corresponding post-transcriptional induction of MYC expression. Thus, the Hippo pathway links contact-inhibition regulation to miRNA biogenesis and may be responsible for the widespread miRNA repression observed in cancer. Two conditions (liver normal tissues and liver tumors) were analyzed in duplicate.

Gene expression data from livers of Yap+/+ and Yap+/- mice at postnatal day 30

Project description:Liver undergoes both size increase and differentiation during postnatal period, which in mice is approximately first 30 days. The mechanisms of simultaneous postnatal liver cell proliferation and maturation are not clear. In these experiments, role of yes associated protein (Yap), the downstream effector of Hippo Kinase signaling pathway was investigated. Total RNA isolated from livers of Yap+/+ and Yap+/- mice at Postnatal day 30. Pooled livers from 5 mice per genotype were used.

ErbB2 drives Yap activation during cardiac regeneration

Project description:Cardiomyocyte (CM) loss after injury results in adverse remodelling and fibrosis, which inevitably lead to heart failure. Neuregulin-ErbB2 and Hippo-Yap signaling pathways are key mediators of CM proliferation and regeneration although the crosstalk between these pathways is unclear. Here, we demonstrate in mice that temporal over-expression (OE) of activated ErbB2 in CMs promotes cardiac regeneration in a heart failure model. Cellularly, OE CMs present an EMT-like regenerative response involving cytoskeletal reprograming, migration, ECM turnover, and displacement. Molecularly, we identified Yap as a critical mediator of ErbB2 signaling. In OE CMs, Yap interacts with nuclear envelope and cytoskeletal components, reflective of the altered mechanic state elicited by ErbB2. Hippo-independent activating phosphorylation on Yap at S352 and S274 were enriched in OE CMs, peaking during metaphase. Viral overexpression of Yap phospho-mutants dampened the proliferative competence of OE CMs. Taken together, we demonstrate a potent ErbB2-mediated Yap mechanosensory signaling involving EMT-like characteristics, resulting in heart regeneration.
