Project description:The Hippo pathway effectors yes-associated protein (YAP) and WW domain containing transcription regulator 1 (TAZ/WWTR1) support tumor initiation and progression in various cancer entities including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, to which extent YAP and TAZ contribute to liver tumorigenesis via common and exclusive molecular mechanisms is poorly understood. RNAinterference (RNAi) experiments illustrate that YAP and TAZ individually support HCC cell viability and migration, while for invasion additive effects were observed. Comprehensive expression profiling revealed partly overlapping YAP/TAZ target genes as well as exclusively regulated genes.

Project description:Yes-associated protein (YAP), the downstream transducer of the Hippo pathway is a key regulator of organ size, differentiation and tumourigenesis. Yet, the activity of YAP can also be modulated by Hippo-independent functions. To disclose these Hippo-independent regulators, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR screening approach that identified the transcriptional repressor protein Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome 1 (TRPS1) as a potent repressor of YAP-dependent transactivation. Using RNA-Sequencing and ChIP-Sequencing approaches we show that TRPS1 globally regulates YAP-dependent transcription by binding to a large set of joint genomic sites, mainly enhancers. Mechanistically, TRPS1 represses YAP-dependent enhancers function by recruiting a spectrum of corepressor complexes to joint sites. Consequently, loss of TRPS1 leads to activation of enhancers due to increased H3K27 acetylation and an altered promoter-enhancer interaction landscape. TRPS1 is commonly amplified in breast cancer which is associated decreased YAP activity and leads to a decreased frequency of intratumoural immune cells. Consistently, depletion of TRPS1 in the syngeneic 4T1 tumour model leads to a strongly decreased tumour growth in vivo. Our study uncovers TRPS1 as a new epigenetic regulator of YAP activity and it connects repression of YAP-dependent enhancer function to breast cancer.

Project description:Splicing dysregulations extensively occur in cancers, yet the biological consequences of such alterations are mostly undefined. Here we report that the Hippo-YAP signaling, a key pathway that regulates cell proliferation and organ size, is under control of a new splicing switch. We show that TEAD4, the transcription factor that mediates Hippo-YAP signaling, undergoes alternative splicing facilitated by the tumor suppressor RBM4, producing a truncated isoform, TEAD4-S, which lacks N-terminal DNA-binding domain but maintains YAP-interaction domain. TEAD4-S is located in both nucleus and cytoplasm, acting as a dominant negative isoform to YAP activity. Consistently, TEAD4-S is reduced in cancer cells, and its re-expression suppresses cancer cell proliferation and migration, inhibiting tumor growth in xenograft mouse model. Furthermore, TEAD4-S is reduced in human cancers, and patients with elevated TEAD4-S levels have improved survival. Altogether these data reveal a novel RBM4-mediated splicing switch that serves to fine-tune Hippo-YAP pathway. Cell lines stably expressing YAP, YAP/TEAD4-S, YAP/TEAD4-FL, YAP/RBM4 and control vector were created, and the total RNA was purified from the cells using TRIzol reagents. The polyadenylated RNAs were purified for construction of sequencing library using kapa TruSeq Total RNA Sample Prep kits (UNC High Throughput Sequencing Facility).

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) presents a major health issue due to its rising incidence and limited therapeutic options. The Hippo pathway transducers yes-associated protein (YAP) and WW-domain containing transcription regulator 1 (WWTR1/TAZ) are key regulators of liver tu-morigenesis promoting tumor formation and progression. Although first inhibitors are in clinical trials, targeting the upstream activation of YAP/TAZ could prove equally beneficial. To identify regulators of YAP/TAZ activity, we carried out a proximity labelling approach (BioID) coupled to mass-spectrometry. We verified CRKL as a new YAP-exclusive interaction partner, which is overexpressed in HCC patients correlating with YAP expression and activity as well as poor survival prognosis. In vitro experiments demonstrated CRKL dependent cell survival and loss of YAP binding induced through actin disruption. Moreover, we delineated an activation of the JNK/JUN pathway by CRKL, which promoted YAP transcription. Our data thus illustrated that CRKL not only promoted YAP activity through its binding but also through the induction of YAP transcription by JNK/JUN activation. This highlights the JNK/JUN pathway as a possible target to abrogate YAP expression in HCC patients.

Project description:Hippo signaling is highly associated with activity in the stem cell compartment of many epithelial tissues. In this study, we examined if Hippo signaling inhibition (by inducing Yap expression) could convert differentiated cells into a progenitor like phenotype. Organoid cells derived from mouse livers under various conditions, wild-type, Yap ON (Plus Dox), and Yap ON then OFF (Minus Dox) was examined. Comparison between freshly isolated hepatocytes; Uninduced_YPF-#.cel against Organoids grown in wild-type conditions (WT), Yap On (in vivo) off (in vitro) - YapOrganoidDoxMinus , and Yap On continuously - YapOrganoidDoxPlus. Organoids grown in culture or YFP+ sorted liver cells after the indicated time of Yap expression were collected. These were amplified using Nugene technology and hybridized to Affymetrix MoGene1.0 st arrays.

Project description:Hippo signaling is highly associated with activity in the stem cell compartment of many epithelial tissues. In this study, we examined if Hippo signaling inhibition (by inducing Yap expression) could convert differentiated cells into a progenitor like phenotype. Rosa26-lsl-YFP mice had recombination induced and cells were FACS sorted using YFP as a marker at either 1 week or 6 weeks after recombination. YFP expression is a surrogate for Yap expression (our protein of interest) and time was varied in vivo. RNA was immediately extracted after sorting and labeled to be hybridized to the array. FACS sorted Yap expressing liver cells were sorted one or six weeks after induction and compared to fetal liver samples as controls The control data from fetal liver samples have been previously published and is available in the GEO database as GSE12117 (GSM305568, GSM305569, GSM305570). The complete dataset representing: Yap Expressiong Liver samples and the fetal liver control Samples from Series GSE12117 (re-processed in this study), is linked below as a supplementary file.

Project description:siRNA-mediated inhibition compared to untreated cells and cells transfected with nonsense siRNA. Loss of contact inhibition and anchorage-independent growth are hallmarks of cancer cells. In this context, frequent inactivation of the Hippo pathway and subsequent nuclear enrichment of the transcriptional coactivator yes-associated protein (YAP) uncouple cell proliferation and anti-apoptosis from contact inhibition, associated with uncontrolled tumor growth and tumor cell dissemination. However, general molecular mechanisms of tumor-supporting YAP activity remain unclear. In this study, we show that overexpression and nuclear accumulation of YAP in hepatocytes and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells leads to an induction of the Notch pathways through transcriptional activation of the Notch ligand jagged-1 (Jag-1). This induction of Jag-1 strictly depends on binding of YAP to TEAD4 and does not rely on WNT/β-catenin pathway activity. Co-activation of YAP, TEAD4, Jag-1, and the Notch target gene Hes-1 was significantly higher in HCC from patients with poor prognosis. High-level expression and nuclear accumulation of YAP correlates with Jag-1/Notch activation not only in human HCC tissues, but also in colon and pancreatic cancer tissues. Thus, our data demonstrate that YAP-driven co-activation of the Jag-1/Notch pathway in part facilitates oncogenic properties of the oncogene YAP not only in HCC but also in different gastrointestinal malignancies. Expression profiling of untreated HCC cell lines (control 1), cells transfected with scrambled/nonsense siRNA (control 2), and after siRNA-mediated YAP inhibition.

Project description:Yap (Yes-associated protein 1) is a downstream effector of the Hippo signaling pathway and known as a transcriptional co-activator. We previously identified Yap1 as a novel factor implicated in the control of the temporal DNA replication program in Xenopus retinal stem cells. However, whether Yap is directly involved in DNA replication dynamics and whether it could regulate DNA replication during early embryonic divisions in the absence of transcription remained to be investigated. We now found that in Yap depleted Xenopus laevis egg extracts the activation of replication origins was increased. In order to understand by which mechanism Yap could regulate the initiation of DNA replication in the absence of transcription we searched for new interacting factors. We immunoprecipitated Yap from Xenopus laevis egg extracts using anti-Yap, compared to control antibodies, and analyzed co-immunoprecipitating proteins by nanoLC/MS/MS.

Project description:The Hippo pathway effectors yes-associated protein (YAP) and WW domain containing transcription regulator 1 (TAZ/WWTR1) support tumor initiation and progression in various cancer types. However, to which extent YAP and TAZ cooperatively contribute to cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) development and progression is poorly understood. Our immunohistochemical studies showed that YAP and TAZ were expressed in different CCA subtypes. However, nuclear co-expression was not frequently detected. RNAinterference (RNAi) experiments illustrated that YAP and TAZ supported CCA cell viability. Comprehensive expression profiling of HUCCT-1 cells after combined silencing of YAP/TAZ revealed a potential impact on chromosomal instability.
