Project description:The cancer epigenome has been studied in cells cultured in 2D monolayers on plastic surfaces, but recent studies highlight the impact of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the 3D environment on multiple cellular functions. Here, we report the physical, biochemical and genomic differences between T47D breast cancer cells cultured in 2D monolayer and as 3D spheroids in Matrigel. Cells within 3D spheroids exhibit a rounder nucleus with less accessible, more compacted chromatin, and altered expression of over 2,000 genes, the majority of which become repressed. Hi-C analysis reveals that cells grown in 3D exhibit enrichment in regions belonging to the B compartment, decrease on chromatin bound CTCF and increased fusion of Topologically Associating Domains (TADs). Upregulation of the Hippo pathway in 3D spheroids results in the activation of the LATS1 kinase, which promotes phosphorylation and displacement of CTCF from DNA, likely responsible for the observed TAD fusions. Cells grown in 3D exhibit higher progesterone receptor (PR) binding to chromatin, leading to an increase in the number hormone-regulated genes. This effect is in part mediated by the LATS1 activation, which favors cytoplasmic retention of YAP and CTCF removal.

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:Metastatic malignant melanoma is the deadliest skin cancer type, and it is characterized by its high resistance to apoptosis. The main driving mutations in melanoma cause hyperactivation of genes within the ERK pathway, with BRAF mutations being the most frequent ones, followed by NRAS, NF1 and MEK mutations. Increasing evidence shows that the MST2/Hippo pathway is also deregulated in this cancer type. While mutations are rare, MST2/Hippo pathway core proteins expression levels are often dysregulated in melanoma. The expression of the tumour suppressor RASSF1A, a bona fide activator of the pro-apoptotic MST2 pathway, is silenced by promoter methylation in over half of melanomas and correlates with poor prognosis. Here, using mass spectrometry-based interaction proteomics we identified Second Mitochondria-derived Activator of Caspases (SMAC) as a novel LATS1 interactor. We show that RASSF1A-dependent activation of the pro-apoptotic MST2 pathway promotes LATS1-SMAC interaction and negatively regulates the anti-apoptotic signal mediated by the members of the IAP family. Moreover, proteomic experiments identified a common cluster of the apoptotic regulator that bind to SMAC and LATS1. Mechanistic analysis show that the LATS1-SMAC complex promotes XIAP ubiquitination and its subsequent degradation which ultimately results apoptosis. Importantly, we show that the oncogenic BRAFV600E mutant prevents the pro-apoptotic signal mediated by the LAST1-SMAC complex while treatment of melanoma cell lines with BRAF inhibitors promotes this complex, indicating that inhibition of the LATS1-SMAC might be necessary for BRAFV600E-driven melanoma. Finally, we show that LATS1-SMAC interaction is regulated by the SMAC mimetic Birinapant which requires the inhibition of C-IAP1 and the degradation of XIAP, indicating that the MST2/Hippo pathway is part of the mechanism of action of Birinapant. Overall, the current work shows SMAC-dependent apoptosis is regulated by the LATS1 tumour suppressor and supports the idea that LATS1 is a signalling hub that regulates the crosstalk between the MST2 pathway, the apoptotic network and the RAF/ERK pathway.

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:We investigated how Hippo-deficient cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) alter their cell state and interact with immune cells during cardiac fibrosis. To study the role of the Hippo pathway in CFs, we conditionally knocked out Lats1/2 specifically in the CFs of mouse hearts (Lats1/2CKO). To test the role of Hippo-deficient CF-induced macrophages, we treated the control and Lats1/2CKO mice with or without CSF1R inhibitor to block macrophage expansion and performed ST.

Project description:Studies in drosophila have suggested that Merlin/NF2 suppresses tumorigenesis by activating upstream components of the Hippo pathway at or near the plasma membrane. In contrast, studies of Merlin-deficient tumor cells have indicated that Merlin suppresses tumorigenesis by entering into the nucleus where it inhibits the E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4DCAF1. We found that CRL4DCAF1 promotes YAP and TEAD-dependent transcription by ubiquitylating and thereby inhibiting Lats1 and 2 in the nucleus. Genetic epistasis experiments and analysis of tumor-derived missense mutations indicate that this signaling connection sustains the oncogenicity of Merlin-deficient tumor cells. Analysis of clinical samples confirms that this pathway operates in NF2 mutant mesotheliomas, schwannomas and meningiomas. We conclude that de-repressed CRL4DCAF1 controls the output of the Hippo pathway by inhibiting Lats1 and 2 in the nucleus.

Project description:We investigated how Hippo deficient CFs alter their cell state and interact with immune cells during cardiac fibrosis. To study the role of the Hippo pathway in CFs, we conditionally knocked out Lats1/2 specifically in the CFs of mouse hearts (Lats1/2-CF) and performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) to profile the cellular landscape of the left and right atria.

Project description:Perturbation of the tightly regulated dynamic process of cell fate underlies many human diseases. The molecular mechanisms regulating breast cell fate in the hierarchically organized luminal and basal lineages of breast epithelium remain largely elusive. We performed a high-content confocal image-based shRNA screen for regulators of primary human breast cell fate. Inhibition of the Hippo kinases LATS was found to promote luminal fate and increase the number of progenitors, which is a paradox given that Hippo effectors YAP/TAZ have been associated with basal fate. Mechanistically, LATS loss increases the activities of YAP/TAZ and ERα, which in concert control breast cell fate via intrinsic and paracrine effects. Reduced LATS expression is found in breast cancers with a poor prognosis; this diminishes the sensitivity of ERα-positive- and increases the sensitivity of ERα-negative cancers to endocrine therapy. Thus, in this study we have unraveled crosstalk between Hippo and estrogen signaling and shown that LATS loss triggers expansion of luminal progenitors, the highly suspected cell-of-origin in most breast cancers. In this dataset, we provide microarray gene expression analysis of normal breast epithelial cells, freshly dissociated from reduction mammoplasties, in which LATS1/2 were knocked down comparing it to non-targeting control expressing breast cells.
