The Hippo pathway kinase LATS1 scaffolds Beclin1 in autophagy regulation in hepatocellular carcinoma

ABSTRACT: 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.

Expression profiling in primary embryonic fibroblasts deficient for the N-terminal truncation of Lats1

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.

Lats1/2 control TGF-beta directed EMT in the dorsal cranial neuroepithelium through YAP regulation

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.

Downregulation of LATS kinases alters p53 to promote cell migration

Project description:p53 is a pivotal tumor suppressor and a major barrier against cancer. We now report that silencing of the Hippo pathway tumor suppressors LATS1 and LATS2 in non-transformed mammary epithelial cells reduces p53 phosphorylation and increases its association with the p52 NF-?B subunit. Moreover, it partly shifts p53âs conformation and transcriptional output towards a state resembling cancer-associated p53 mutants, and endow p53 with the ability to promote cell migration. Notably, LATS1 and LATS2 are frequently downregulated in breast cancer; we propose that such downregulation might benefit cancer by converting p53 from a tumor suppressor into a tumor facilitator. MCF10A cells transfected with siRNA against LATS1/2 alone, p53 alone or LATS1/2 and p53 together. Two independent MCF10A batches provided biological replicates

Inactivation of LATS1/2 drives luminal-basal plasticity to initiate basal-like mammary carcinomas

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.

We now report that silencing of the Hippo pathway tumor suppressors LATS1 and LATS2 in non-transformed mammary epithelial cells reduces p53 phosphorylation and increases its association with the p52 NF-κB subunit. Moreover, it partly shifts p53’s conformation and transcriptional output towards a state resembling cancer-associated p53 mutants, and endow p53 with the ability to promote cell migration. Notably, LATS1 and LATS2 are frequently downregulated in breast cancer; we propose that such downregulation might benefit cancer by converting p53 from a tumor suppressor into a tumor facilitator.
