Project description:Angiogenesis, the process by which endothelial cells (ECs) form new blood vessels from existing ones, is intimately linked to the tissue's metabolic milieu and often occurs at nutrient-deficient sites. However, ECs rely on sufficient metabolic resources to support growth and proliferation. How endothelial nutrient acquisition and usage are regulated is unknown. Here we show that these processes are dictated by YAP/TAZ-TEAD – a transcriptional module whose function is highly responsive to changes in the tissue environment. ECs lacking YAP/TAZ or their transcriptional partners, TEAD1, 2, and 4 fail to divide, resulting in stunted vascular growth in mice. Conversely, activation of TAZ, the more abundant paralogue in ECs, boosts proliferation, leading to vascular hyperplasia. We find that YAP/TAZ promote angiogenesis by fueling nutrient mTORC1 signaling. By orchestrating the transcription of a repertoire of cell-surface transporters, YAP/TAZ-TEAD stimulate the import of amino acids and other essential nutrients, thereby enabling mTORC1 pathway activation. Dissociating mTORC1 from these nutrient inputs – elicited by the loss of Rag GTPases – inhibits mTORC1 activity and prevents YAP/TAZ-dependent vascular growth. These findings define a pivotal role for YAP/TAZ-TEAD in steering endothelial mTORC1 and illustrate the essentiality of coordinated nutrient fluxes in the vasculature.

Project description:Transcriptome profiling of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) overexpressing constitutively nuclear YAP (YAP S127A), TAZ (TAZ S89A) or TEAD-binding deficient YAP (YAP S94A/S127A) or TAZ (TAZ S51A/S89A) to identify YAP and TAZ target genes.

Project description:We demonstrated that TAZ positively regulates Irs1 gene transcription in muscle. Therefore we designed ChIP-seq experiment to reveal detailed mechanism of regulation. To capture TAZ in chromatin preparation, we made Flag-tagged TAZ expressing and control vector transduced C2C12 cells by retroviral infection. We used FLAG-conjugated beads to capture TAZ-chromatin complexes and ChIP-seq was perforemd. Among many TAZ binding sites, we focused Irs1 regulatory region because our primary purpose was to identify TAZ binding site for the regulation of Irs1 transcription.

Project description:YAP1 gene fusions have been observed in a subset of paediatric ependymomas. Here we show that, ectopic expression of active nuclear YAP1 (nlsYAP5SA) in ventricular zone neural progenitor cells using conditionally-induced NEX/NeuroD6-Cre is sufficient to drive brain tumour formation in mice. Neuronal differentiation is inhibited in the hippocampus. Deletion of YAP1’s negative regulators LATS1 and LATS2 kinases in NEX-Cre lineage in double conditional knockout mice also generates similar tumours, which are rescued by deletion of YAP1 and its paralog TAZ. YAP1/TAZ-induced mouse tumours display molecular and ultrastructural characteristics of human ependymoma. RNA sequencing and quantitative proteomics of mouse tumours demonstrate similarities to YAP1-fusion induced supratentorial ependymoma. Finally, we find that transcriptional cofactor HOPX is upregulated in mouse models and in human YAP1-fusion induced ependymoma, supporting their similarity. Our results show that uncontrolled YAP1/TAZ activity in neuronal precursor cells leads to ependymoma-like tumours in mice.

Project description:To investigate the role of TAZ downstream of APC and beta-catenin in mammary epithelial cells cells, we compared the expression profiles of MCF10-T1k (MII) cells transfected with siControl, siAPC, siAPC+siTAZ, sibeta-catenin, or sibeta-catenin+siTAZ. Keywords: expression profiling by array We collected RNA from MII cells transfected with siControl, siAPC, siAPC+siTAZ, sibeta-catenin, or sibeta-catenin+siTAZ. Cells were left untreated in normal culturing conditions before harvesting. Samples were then processed for total RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Four biological replicas (A, B, C, D) were used for each of the 5 conditions (1: siControl, control cells; 2: siAPC cells; 3: siAPC+siTAZ cells; 4: sibeta-catenin (sibcat) cells; 5: sibeta-catenin+siTAZ) for a total of 20 samples.

Project description:Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5is) are the primary therapeutic option for erectile dysfunction. However, 30% of patients do not respond to PDE5is treatment, making the quest for a new treatment modality a central endeavor. Here, we found a new pathway in erectile function control, mechano-regulated YAP/TAZ activate Adrenomedullin transcription, which sustains smooth muscle cells (SMCs) relaxation to maintain the erection. We first found that penile erection stretches the SMCs, dominating YAP/TAZ activity. Subsequently, we showed that YAP/TAZ plays a vital role in erectile function and penile rehabilitation using genetic lesions and several animal models. The mechanism relies on the regulation of Adrenomedullin on penile SMCs contraction, which we identify here as a direct YAP/TAZ transcript. Notably, conventional PDE5is targeting NO-cGMP signaling do not cure YAP/TAZ deficient ED. In contrast, by activating YAP/TAZ-Adrenomedullin cascade, mechano-stimulation improved erectile function, including PDE5is non-responders in both experimental models and clinical trials. Our studies lay the groundwork for exploring mechano-YAP/TAZ-Adrenomedullin as prospective targets in the treatment of ED

Project description:Tissue homeostasis requires lineage fidelity of stem cells. Dysregulation of cell fate specification and differentiation leads to various diseases, yet the cellular and molecular processes remain elusive. We demonstrate that YAP/TAZ activation reprograms airway secretory cells to lose cellular identity and acquire squamous alveolar type 1 (AT1) fate in the lungs. Significantly, this cell fate conversion is mediated via distinctive transitional cell states of Damage-Associated Transient Progenitors (DATPs), recently known to emerge during injury repair, in mouse and human lungs. Further, YAP/TAZ signaling is identified to realign the amino acid metabolism by modulating mTORC1-ATF4 activity, which is integral to fate conversion of secretory cells into AT1 fate. We observed aberrant activation of the YAP/TAZ-mTORC1-ATF4 axis in the altered airway epithelium of human pulmonary fibrosis where the emergence of DATPs and A1 cells is prominent. Finally, genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of mTORC1 activity restores lineage alteration and subepithelial fibrosis driven by YAP/TAZ activation, proposing a potential therapeutic target for human fibrotic lung diseases.
