Kaiso is a novel TAZ-interaction partner that promotes hepatic stellate cell activation and regulates the downstream lncRNA HIF1A-AS3

ABSTRACT: Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ), are key regulators of hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation and liver fibrosis. While the canonical YAP/TAZ-TEAD axis is well-characterized, non-canonical interaction partners and downstream long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that orchestrate fibrogenic programs in HSCs remain undefined. Using BioID and next-generation sequencing (NGS) in LX-2 cells, we identified YAP/TAZ-interactomes and YAP/TAZ-regulated lncRNAs. BioID results and proximity ligation assay (PLA) identified the transcription factor Kaiso as a TAZ interaction partner. Functionally, Kaiso knockdown suppressed key aspects of HSC activation in LX-2 cells. We next integrated our NGS results from YAP/TAZ-knockdown in LX-2 cells with publicly available Kaiso ChIP-seq data. This identified HIF1A-AS3 as a common downstream lncRNA. ChIP-qPCR confirmed direct binding of Kaiso to HIF1A-AS3 promoter. Furthermore, HIF1A-AS3 silencing mirrored the functional effects of Kaiso knockdown. Global proteomic profiling following knockdown of TAZ, Kaiso, or HIF1A-AS3 revealed a network of commonly regulated proteins enriched for pathways central to HSC activation. In conclusion, we establish Kaiso as a novel TAZ interaction partner and identify HIF1A-AS3 as a shared downstream target of TAZ and Kaiso, suggesting a potential profibrotic regulatory network that promotes HSC activation and may represent a therapeutic target for liver fibrosis.

Kaiso as a Novel TAZ Interaction Partner Driving Fibrogenesis in Hepatic stellate cells via regulating the long non-coding RNA HIF1A-AS3

Project description:The Hippo pathway effectors yes associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional co activator with PDZ binding motif (TAZ) are key regulators of hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation and liver fibrosis. While the canonical YAP/TAZ–TEAD transcriptional axis has been extensively characterized, non canonical interaction partners that may influence fibrogenic signaling in HSCs remain poorly defined. To characterize YAP and TAZ proximal interaction partners, proximity dependent biotin identification (BioID) coupled with LC MS/MS proteomics was performed in LX 2 human hepatic stellate cells. Stable LX 2 cell lines expressing BirA YAP, BirA TAZ, or BirA empty (control) were used to map the YAP and TAZ interactomes. This analysis revealed novel partners, including the transcription factor Kaiso as a TAZ exclusive interactor. Functional assays demonstrated that Kaiso contributes to HSC activation and regulates the fibrogenic long non coding RNA HIF1A AS3. Together, these data define a possible TAZ/Kaiso/HIF1A AS3 axis that promotes profibrotic programs in HSCs.

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.

The TAZ-CAMTA1 and YAP-TFE3 fusion proteins modulate the basal TAZ/YAP transcriptional program by recruiting the Ada2a-containing histone acetyltransferase complex [RNA-seq]

Project description:The WWTR1(TAZ)-CAMTA1 and YAP1-TFE3 gene fusions are disease defining gene alterations for epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, a vascular cancer. The resultant fusion proteins fuse the C terminus of CAMTA1 and TFE3 in frame to the N terminus of TAZ and YAP, respectively. An unbiased BioID-mass spectrometry/RNAi screen identified YEATS2 and ZZZ3 as components of the Ada2a-containing histone acetyltransferase complex and key interactors of both TAZ-CAMTA1 and YAP-TFE3. An integrative NGS approach including RNA-Seq and ATAC-Seq showed that the differentially expressed genes in YAP-TFE3 cells with knockdown of YEATS2 or ZZZ3 are nested in regions of open chromatin unique to YAP-TFE3. The altered transcriptional program of the fusion proteins is modulated by the Ada2a-containing histone acetyltransferase complex.

Chronic stress stimulated HIF-AS3/HIF-1α loop in neoplastic cells and promoted lung cancer progression through macrophage inactivation [A549_xenograft]

Project description:Chronic psychological stress is closely linked to malignant disorders, with novel modulators potentially mitigating tumor progression by regulating interactions between neoplastic cells and immune cells. This study identified lncRNA HIF1A-AS3 as a key driver of stress-induced lung cancer progression. Chronic stress models in mice with implanted lung cancer cells revealed significant upregulation of HIF1A-AS3 in stressed groups and human lung cancer tissues. Functional studies showed HIF1A-AS3 promotes cancer cell proliferation and invasion by activating HIF-1ɑ translation through interaction with YBX1, forming a positive feedback loop where HIF-1ɑ enhances HIF1A-AS3 transcription. Additionally, HIF1A-AS3 drove macrophage M2 polarization and reduced phagocytosis under hypoxia. Targeting the HIF1A-AS3/HIF-1ɑ loop effectively counteracted stress-induced lung cancer progression in vivo, highlighting its potential as a diagnostic and therapeutic target for stress-exacerbated lung cancer.

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.
