Project description:Hippo signaling, an evolutionarily conserved pathway involved in organ size control, has been implicated to play key roles in developmental processes of various tissues, but its role in craniofacial development has not been largely explored. To examine the function of the Hippo signaling kinase cascade, we inactivated Hippo components Lats1 and Lats2 in the cranial neuroepithelium of mouse embryos using a Wnt1CreSOR driver. Double conditional knock out (DCKO) of Lats1/2 resulted in neural tube and craniofacial defects. Lats1/2 DCKO mutant embryos presented a minute head with delayed and defective neural tube closure. Furthermore, neuroepithelial cell polarity and cell integrity were disrupted within the cranial neural tube in Lats1/2 DCKO mutants. Embryonic neural tube RNA-seq revealed increased TGF-beta signaling in absence of Lats1/2. Moreover, markers of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were upregulated in the cranial neural tube. Notably, modulation of Hippo signaling downstream effectors Yap and Taz prevented neuroepithelial defects, aberrant EMT, and TGF-beta dysregulation caused by Lats1/2 deficiency, indicating that Lats1/2 function via canonical Hippo-Yap pathway. Together, our findings revealed important roles for Hippo signaling kinases in pre-migratory neural crest EMT and migration.

Project description:Lats1 and Lats2 are the mediators of the Hippo pathway that regulates tissue growth and proliferation. Lats1 and Lats2 kinases share 85% sequence identity in the kinase domain. However, their non-kinase regions at the N-terminus are distinct except for Lats conserved domain 1 (LCD1) and LCD2, suggesting that their N-terminal regions are important for Lats1/2-specific functions. In this study, we generated Lats1 knockout mice disrupting the N-terminal region containing LCD1 (Lats1M-NM-^TN/M-NM-^TN). We show that some Lats1M-NM-^TN/M-NM-^TN mice were born safely and grew normally. However, mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) from Lats1M-NM-^TN/M-NM-^TN mice displayed drastic defects in mitosis, showing enhanced centrosome overduplication, chromosomal misalignment, multipolar spindle formation, chromosome bridging, and cytokinesis failure. Moreover, they displayed accelerated cell cycle and cell growth bypassing a cell-cell contact inhibition like tumor cells, and exhibited anchorage independent growth. Indeed, Lats1M-NM-^TN/M-NM-^TN MEFs produced tumors in nude mice after subcutaneous injection, although the tumor growth rate was much slower than ordinary cancer cells. Furthermore, Yap, the key transcriptional co-activator in the Hippo pathway, was overexpressed and retained stable in Lats1M-NM-^TN/M-NM-^TN MEFs under high cell density, and expression of Lats2 mRNA were down-regulated. Total RNAs were extracted from MEFs under high or low cell density using miRNeasy extraction kit (Qiagen). A Dye-swapped experiment was performed by hybridizing complimentary RNA (cRNA) labeled with either Cyanine (Cy) -3 or Cy-5 (Perkin-Elmer) onto Whole Mouse Genome Oligo Microarray (G4122F; Agilent Technologies). Co-hybridizations were performed and data from Cy3 or Cy5 channels were analyzed as normalized signal intensities rather than as log ratios corresponding to each array.

Project description:The Hippo pathway directs cell differentiation during organogenesis, in part by restricting proliferation. How Hippo signaling maintains a proliferation-differentiation balance in developing tissues and its underlying molecular targets are poorly understood. Our study shows that Hippo suppresses NFκB signaling in pancreatic progenitors to permit cell differentiation and developmental progression. We found that pancreas-specific Lats1/2 kinase deletion (Lats1/2PanKO) from mouse progenitor epithelia results in failure to differentiate 3 key pancreatic lineages: acinar, ductal, and endocrine. We performed an unbiased transcriptome analysis to query the differentiation defects in Lats1/2PanKO. This analysis revealed increased NFκB activator expression, including the pantetheinase Vanin1 (Vnn1). Through in vivo and ex vivo studies, we show that VNN1 activates a detrimental cascade of processes in Lats1/2PanKO epithelium, whereby 1) NFκB activation and 2) initiation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) together override normal differentiation. We show that exogenous stimulation of VNN1 or NFκB can also trigger this cascade in WT pancreatic progenitors. These findings show that pancreas development requires active suppression of NFκB by LATS1/2 kinases to restrain a cell-autonomous transcriptional program and thereby allow for differentiation.

Project description:Autophagy perturbation represents an emerging therapeutic strategy in cancer. The mammalian Hippo pathway is an evolutionary conserved tumor suppressive network, where the kinases LATS1/2 phosphorylate and inactivate oncogenic YAP/TAZ. Here, we demonstrated a pro-survival role of LATS1, but not LATS2, in hepatocellular carcinoma cells in response to sorafenib, a standard care of advanced HCC. Transcriptomic analysis revealed a restrictive role of LATS1 in autophagy regulation in HCC cells. Further, we found that the autophagy regulation by LATS1 was independent of its kinase activity. Instead, LATS1 stabilized autophagy core-machinery component Beclin 1 via promoting a non-canonical form of K27-linked ubiquitination, and consequently, inactive Beclin 1 self-dimer, in a E3 ligase NEDD4 dependent manner. Our study highlights a functional diversity between LATS1 and LATS2 and uncovers a scaffolding role of LATS1 in mediating a cross-talk between Hippo signalling and autophagy in HCC and therapy response.

Project description:Basal breast cancers, an aggressive breast cancer subtype that has poor treatment options, are thought to arise from luminal mammary epithelial cells that undergo basal-like plasticity through poorly understood mechanisms. Using genetic mouse models and ex vivo primary organoid cultures, we show that conditional co-deletion of the LATS1 and LATS2 kinases, key effectors of Hippo pathway signaling, in mature mammary luminal epithelial cells promotes the development of basal-like carcinomas that metastasize over time. Genetic co-deletion experiments revealed that phenotypes resulting from the loss of LATS1/2 activity are dependent on the transcriptional regulators YAP/TAZ. Notably, transcriptional analyses of LATS1/2-deleted mammary epithelial cells revealed a gene expression program that associates with human basal breast cancers. Our study demonstrates in vivo roles for the LATS1/2 kinases in mammary epithelial homeostasis and luminal-basal fate control and implicates signaling networks induced upon the loss of LATS1/2 activity in the development of basal breast cancers.

Project description:Development of the female tract results from the carefull coordination of numerous signaling pathways. Here, we evaluated the role of hippo pathway in the development of the female reproductive tract.

Project description:LATS1/2 are canonical Hippo signaling pathway components. Our genome-wide screen indicated a synthetic viable effect of Hippo pathway inhibition in ATM-depleted human embryonic and neural progenitor cells. This experiment was designed in order to get mechanistic insights regarding the molecular effect of Hippo pathway inhibition on ATM-knockout cells. Such chemical inhibition could potentially be used as a means to impede Ataxia-Telangiectasia-related neurodegeneration. Experimental procedure: 2 clones of ATM-knockout h-pES10 cells were plated on 6 well plates with MEFs feeder layer. 1 d after plating, medium was replaced with standard medium (as control) or medium containing 10 µM of LATS1/2 inhibitor, TRULI (Lats-IN-1) for 24 h. Cells were then harvested, total RNA was extracted, libraries for RNA sequencing were generated and sequenced. Total reads were mapped to human GRCh38 reference genome, and to mouse GRCm38 using STAR package. XenofilteR package in R was used to filter out mouse-originated reads. Count tables and differential analysis were performed using EdgeR package in R.
