Project description:Tumor progression is suppressed by inherent cellular mechanisms such as apoptosis. The p53 tumor suppressor gene is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancer and plays a pivotal role in tumor suppression. RPRM is a target gene of p53 known to be involved in tumor suppression, but its molecular function has remained elusive. Here we report that Reprimo (the protein product of RPRM) is secreted and extrinsically induces apoptosis in recipient cells. We identified FAT1, FAT4, CELSR1, CELSR2, and CELSR3, members of the protocadherin family, as receptors for Reprimo. Subsequent analyses revealed that Reprimo acts upstream of the Hippo-YAP/TAZ-p73 axis and induces apoptosis by transactivating various pro-apoptotic genes. In vivo analyses further support the tumor suppressive effects of secreted Reprimo. These findings identify the p53-Reprimo-Hippo-YAP/TAZ-p73 axis as a novel extrinsic apoptosis pathway that plays a crucial role in tumor suppression. Our discovery of the innate tumor eliminator Reprimo and the downstream pathway offers a new promising avenue for the pharmacological treatment of cancer.

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.

Project description:The Hippo pathway plays an important role in regulating tissue homeostasis, and its effectors YAP and TAZ are responsible for mediating the vast majority of its physiological functions. Although YAP and TAZ are thought to be largely redundant and similarly regulated by Hippo signaling, they have developmental, structural, and physiological differences which suggest there may be differences in their regulation and downstream functions. To better understand the functions of YAP and TAZ in the Hippo pathway, we generated knockout cells and evaluated them in response to many conditions and stimuli. Here, we used RNA-seq to identify and compare differences in the transcriptional profiles between the YAP and TAZ.

Project description:The Hippo pathway plays a crucial in organ size control during development and tissue homeostasis in adult life. To examine a role for Hippo signaling in the intestinal epithelium, we analyzed gene expression patterns in the mouse intestinal epithelilum transfected with siRNAs or expression plasmids for shRNAs targeting the Hippo pathway effectors, YAP and TAZ. We performed two independent series of experiments (siGFP (n=3) vs siYAP/siTAZ (n=3), and shLacZ (n=1) vs shYAP/shTAZ (n=1)). Control siRNA (siGFP), YAP/TAZ siRNAs, or expression plasmids for control shRNA (shLacZ) or YAP/TAZ shRNAs were introduced into the mouse intestinal epithelium by the newly-developed in vivo transfection method. Four days after transfection, intestinal epithelial cells were isolated from the tissues and total RNA was extracted.

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.

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.

Project description:The Hippo pathway controls the activity of YAP/TAZ transcriptional coactivators through a kinase cascade. Despite the critical role of this pathway in tissue growth and tumorigenesis, it is not fully understood how YAP/TAZ–mediated transcription drives proliferation. By analyzing the effects of inactivating LATS1/2 kinases, the direct upstream inhibitors of YAP/TAZ, on mouse brain development and applying cell-number–normalized transcriptome analysis, we discovered that YAP/TAZ activation causes a global increase in transcription activity, known as hypertranscription, and upregulates many genes associated with increased biosynthetic capacity and proliferation. In contrast, conventional read-depth–normalized RNA-sequencing analysis failed to detect the scope of the transcriptome shift and missed most relevant gene ontologies. Hypertranscription in neural progenitors inhibits differentiation and triggers DNA replication stress, DNA damage, and p53 activation, resulting in massive apoptosis. Our findings reveal the remarkable impact of YAP/TAZ activation on global transcription activity and have important implications for understanding YAP/TAZ function

Project description:Invadopodia are adhesive, actin - rich pro trusions , formed by metastatic cancer cells , that degrade the extracellular matrix and facilitate invasion . They support the metastatic cascade by a spatially and temporally coordinated process where by invading cells bind to the matrix , degrade it by speci fic metalloproteinases , and mechanically penetrate diverse tissue ba rriers by forming actin - rich extensions . However, despite the apparent involvement of invadopodia in the metasta t i c process , the molecular mechanisms that regulate invadopodia formation an d function are still largely unclear. In this study, we have explored the involvement of the key Hippo pathway co - regulators , namely YAP , and TAZ , in invadopodia formation and matrix degradation. Towards that goal, we tested the effect of depletion of YAP, TAZ , or both on invadopodia formation and activity in multiple human cancer cell lines. We report that knockdown of YAP and TAZ or their inh ibit ion by verteporfin indu ce a significant elevation in matrix degradation and invadopodia formation in several ca ncer cell lines . Conversely , o verexpression of these proteins strongly suppress es invadopodia formation and matrix degradation . Proteomic and transcriptomic profiling of MDA - MB - 231 cells , following co - knockdown of YAP and TAZ , revealed a significant change in the levels of key invadopodia - associated proteins, including the crucial proteins Tks5 and MT1 - MMP (MMP14). Collectively, our findings show that YAP and TAZ act as negative regulators of invadopodia formation in diverse cancer lines, most likely by red ucing the levels of essential invadopodia components. Dissecting the molecular mechanisms of invadopodia formation in cancer invasion may eventually reveal novel targets for therapeutic applications against invasive cancer
