In vivo screen reveals specific roles of Hippo pathway components in development and regeneration

ABSTRACT: The Hippo signalling pathway is a major regulator of regeneration and development. However, the comparative importance and functional roles of individual Hippo pathway components in vivo is greatly unknown, particularly within the vertebrate lineage. To gain direct and comparable insights we took advantage of the zebrafish larvae model system. We generated individual and combined CRISPR/Cas9 F0 knockouts of a range of core Hippo pathway genes, including upstream regulators, the co-transcriptional regulators Yap1/Taz, and Yap1/Taz-target genes. We analysed and compared the resulting developmental and regenerative phenotypes. Our findings highlight that paralogues of core components have distinct, but in some instances overlapping, functions. Intriguingly, we find that Yap and Taz have differential roles during development and regeneration. In addition, we characterise and compare two tail fin regenerative paradigms: after both severe and mild injury. These injury paradigms are drastically different and elicit diverse resolution processes. We confirm critical roles of the immune system in the regenerative process and identify that macrophages are recruited to lesser extent in tail fin regeneration upon Yap1 and Taz loss, suggesting defective regenerative macrophage function. This defective macrophage involvement might therefore be one of the mediators of the deficient regeneration in these two Crispants. Overall, our analysis emphasises distinct requirements and responses of the Hippo pathway during development and across different regenerative paradigms.

Gene expression profile of mouse liver cancer (Sav1 and Mst1/2 Knockout models)

Project description:Hippo pathway is evolutionarily well conserved. All core components of the pathway identified to date have one or more mammalian orthologs, including MST1/2 (Hippo), SAV1 (Salvador, also known as WW45), LATS1/2 (Warts), MOB1 (Mats), YAP1 and its paralog WWTR1 (also known as TAZ) (Yorkie), and TEAD1/2/3/4 (Scalloped). Ectopic over-expression of YAP1 in mouse liver led to develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC is the third most common cause of cancer-related death in the world, and accounts for an estimated 600,000 deaths annually. Lack of molecular classification and clinical heterogeneity of this malignant disease hampered the development of standardized treatment. To investigate roles of Hippo pathway in liver carcinogenesis, we generated liver-specific Mst1/2 -/- and Sav1 -/- mouse models and collected gene expression data from them. Our study provided new understanding on molecular characteristics of HCC. Sav1 and Mst1/2 Knockout models

Gene espression Profile by YAP1 and TAZ

Project description:The Hippo signaling pathway is evolutionarily well conserved, and all core components have one or more mammalian orthologs, including MST1/2 (Hippo), SAV1 (Salvador), LATS1/2 (Warts), MOB1 (Mats), YAP1/TAZ (Yorkie), and TEAD1/2/3/4 (Scalloped) (Halder and Johnson, 2011; Pan, 2007; Dong et al., 2007; Saucedo and Edgar, 2007). When Hippo signaling is active, YAP1/TAZ is phosphorylated by LATS1/2 and sequestered by 14-3-3 proteins in cytoplasm. When Hippo signaling is absent, unphosphorylated YAP1/TAZ enters the nucleus and increases transcriptional activation of genes involved in cell proliferation and survival. The indispensability of the Hippo pathway in restricting cell growth and proliferation has prompted speculation that many members of the pathway might be involved in tumorigenesis. To see the effect of YAP1 and TAZ in HCC cell, we generated gene expression profile.

Muscle stems cell LC-MS - Common and Distinctive Functions of the Hippo Effectors Taz and Yap in Skeletal Muscle Stem Cell Function

Project description:Abstract Hippo pathway downstream effectors Yap and Taz play key roles in cell proliferation and regeneration, regulating gene expression especially via interaction with Tead transcription factors. To investigate their role in skeletal muscle stem cells, we analysed Taz in vivo and ex vivo in comparison to Yap. Taz was expressed in activated satellite cells. siRNA knockdown or constitutive expression of wildtype or constitutively active TAZ mutants showed that TAZ promoted proliferation, a function that was shared with YAP. However, at later stages of myogenesis, TAZ also enhanced myogenic differentiation of myoblasts, whereas YAP inhibits such differentiation. Functionally, while muscle growth was mildly affected in Taz (gene symbol Wwtr1-/-) knockout mice, there were no overt effect on regeneration. However, conditional knockout of Yap in satellite cells of Pax7Cre-ERT2/+ : Yapflox/flox : Rosa26Lacz mice produced a marked regeneration deficit. To identify potential mechanisms, microarray analysis showed many common Taz/Yap targets, but Taz also regulates some genes independently of Yap, including myogenic genes such as Pax7, Myf5 and Myod1. Proteomic analysis of Yap/Taz revealed many common binding partners, but Taz also interacts with proteins distinct from Yap, that are mainly involved in myogenesis and aspects of cytoskeleton organization. Neither TAZ nor YAP bind members of the Wnt destruction complex but both extensively changed expression of Wnt and Wnt-cross talking genes with known roles in myogenesis. Finally, TAZ operates through Tead4 to enhance myogenic differentiation. In summary, Taz and Yap have overlapping functions in promoting myoblast proliferation but Taz then switches to promote myogenic differentiation.

Regulation of gene expression by the Hippo effectors, Taz and Yap, in muscle stem cells

Project description:The Hippo pathway downstream effectors, Yap and Taz, play key roles in cell proliferation and tissue growth, regulating gene expression especially via interaction with Tead transcription factors. To investigate their role in skeletal muscle stem cells, we analysed gene expression changes driven by Taz and compared these to Yap mediated changes to the transcriptome by measurement of gene expression on Affymetrix microarrays. To interrogate overlapping and unique transcriptional changes driven by these Hippo effectors, satellite cell-derived myoblasts were transduced with constitutively active TAZ S89A or YAP S127A retrovirus for 24h or 48h, with empty retrovirus as control. Triplicate microarray analyses of empty vector controls, hYAP1 S127A and TAZ S89A transgenic primary myoblasts were conducted.

The Granulosa Cell Response to Luteinizing Hormone is Partly Mediated by YAP1-Dependent Induction of Amphiregulin

Project description:The LH surge is a pivotal event that triggers multiple key ovarian processes including oocyte maturation, cumulus expansion, follicular wall rupture and luteinization of mural granulosa and theca cells. Recently, LH-dependent activation of the Hippo signaling pathway has been shown to be required for the differentiation of granulosa cells into luteal cells. This study aimed to better characterize the role of the Hippo pathway in the LH response in murine granulosa cells. In order to highlight specific roles of Hippo in murine GC physiology, we conducted a microarray analysis to identify genes differentially expressed in cultured granulosa cells with knocked-down expression of YAP1/TAZ (the two co-regulators of Hippo signaling).

Yap/Taz inhibit goblet cell fate to maintain lung epithelial homeostasis

Project description:Proper lung function relies on precisely balanced numbers of specialized epithelial cell types that work together and are maintained in homeostasis. We describe essential roles for the transcriptional regulators Yap and Taz, which are key effectors of Hippo pathway signaling, in maintaining lung epithelial homeostasis. We report that conditional deletion of Yap1/Yap and Wwtr1/Taz in the lung epithelium of adult mice results in severe defects with consequent animal lethality. Phenotypes associated with Yap/Taz deletion include alveolar defects and a striking development of goblet cell metaplasia throughout the airways. We performed gene expression analysis of wild type and Yap/Taz null primary mouse airway epithelial cells in order to define Yap/Taz controlled gene expression.

DUB1 suppresses Hippo signaling via modulating TAZ protein in gastric cancer

Project description:The Hippo pathway functions as a tumor-suppressor pathway in human cancers, while the dys-function of Hippo pathway is frequently observed in malignancies. Although the YAP/TAZ activity is tightly controlled by the phosphorylation cascade of MST-LATS-YAP/TAZ axis, it is still unclear why YAP/TAZ protein is activated in human cancers, even Hippo pathway is still active. Besides phosphorylation, recent studies implicate that several post-translational modifications also play critical roles in modulating TAZ function, including ubiquitination. Here, by a DUB (Deubiquitinases) siRNA screening library, we discovered DUB1 as a critical modulator to facilitate gastric cancer stemness and progression, which deubiquitinated and activated TAZ protein. We also identified DUB1 was elevated in gastric cancer, which correlated with TAZ activation and poor survival. DUB1 associated with TAZ protein and deubiquitinated TAZ at several lysine sites, which subsequently stabilized and facilitated TAZ function. Our study revealed a novel deubiquitinase of Hippo/TAZ axis and one possible therapeutic target for Hippo-driven gastric cancer.

Effect of YAP1/TAZ on rumen epithelial cell proliferation

Project description:Promoting rumen development is closely related to the health and efficient growth of ruminants. In the present study, we aimed to assess the impact of YAP1/TAZ on RE proliferation. The transcriptomic expression was analyzed to investigate the potential regulatory networks. The results indicated that GA promoted RE cell proliferation, while VP disrupted RE cell proliferation. The Hippo, Wnt, and calcium signaling pathways were altered in cells following the regulation of YAP1/TAZ. Upon YAP1/TAZ activation through GA, the CCN1/2 increased to promote RE cell proliferation. While when the YAP1/TAZ was inhibited by VP, the BIRC3 decreased to suppress RE cell proliferation. Thus, YAP1/TAZ may be potential targets for regulating RE cell proliferation. These findings broaden our understanding of the role of YAP1/TAZ and their regulators in RE and offer a potential target for promoting rumen development.

mTOR promotes zebrafish larvae fin regeneration through regulating macrophages activation and CaM-mTOR-dnm1l axis

Project description:To investigate the functional and mechanistic roles of mTOR in zebrafish larvae fin regeneration, we firstly examined the spatiotemporal expression of mTOR in larvae fin and established a mTOR knockout (mTOR-KO) transgenic fish line using CRISPER / Cas9 gene editing technology. Moreover, mTOR was essential for the activation of macrophages, which is a key factor in maintaining the regenerative repair process. We also demonstrated that mTOR knockdown attenuated the proliferative capacity of bud embryo cell during the regenerative phase, while cell apoptosis was not affected. RNA-sequence analysis showed changes in mitochondrial function and dnm1l was identified as the main regulatory factor during the fin regeneration stage. We further suggested that mTOR may promote mitochondrial fission to support bud embryo cell regeneration via CaM-mTOR-dnm1l axis.
