YAP1 exerts its transcriptional control via TEAD mediated activation of enhancers

ABSTRACT: YAP is the principle effector of the Hippo signaling pathway; a key regulator of tissue homeostasis whose dysregulation is linked to cancer development. YAP regulation of gene expression is thought to involve the TEAD transcription factor family. Here we show that YAP and TEAD1 binding always co-occurs and is mediated by single as well as double TEAD1 motifs with a particular 3bp spacer (CATTCCNNNCATTCC). This suggests that YAP activity appears exclusively mediated by TEAD1. Despite being characterized as a promoter-binding factor YAP/TEAD actually binds predominantly to enhancers. Moreover we show that YAP is necessary for activity of the linked gene and proper chromatin state of regulated enhancers. These results establish mode of binding and activation of YAP mediated nuclear response of the Hippo pathway by TEAD1 and provide a comprehensive list and a novel class of direct target genes that are regulated distally and could be exploited for cancer therapeutics. Sequencing of ChIP and input samples for YAP1 and TEAD1 transcription factors and H3K27ac histone modification in SF268 glioblastoma cells and for YAP1 transcription factor in NCI-H2052 mesothelioma cells.

YAP1 is a major effector of the Hippo pathway and a well-established oncogene. Elevated YAP1 activity due to mutations in Hippo pathway components or YAP1 amplification is observed in several types of human cancers. Here we investigated its genomic binding landscape in YAP1-activated cancer cells, as well as in non-transformed cells. We demonstrate that TEAD transcription factors mediate YAP1 chromatin-binding genome-wide, further explaining their dominant role as primary mediators of YAP1-trans ...[more]

Project description:Regulation of organ size is important for development and tissue homeostasis. In Drosophila, Hippo signaling controls organ size by regulating the activity of a TEAD transcription factor, Scalloped, through modulation of its coactivator protein Yki. The role of mammalian Tead proteins in growth regulation, however, remains unknown. Here we examined the role of mouse Tead proteins in growth regulation. In NIH3T3 cells, cell density and Hippo signaling regulated the activity of Tead proteins by modulating nuclear localization of a Yki homologue, Yap, and the resulting change in Tead activity altered cell proliferation. Tead2-VP16 mimicked Yap overexpression, including increased cell proliferation, reduced cell death, promotion of EMT, lack of cell contact inhibition, and promotion of tumor formation. Growth promoting activities of various Yap mutants correlated with their Tead-coactivator activities. Tead2-VP16 and Yap regulated largely overlapping sets of genes. However, only a few of the Tead/Yapregulated genes in NIH3T3 cells were affected in Tead1-/-;Tead2-/- or Yap-/- embryos. Most of the previously identified Yap-regulated genes were not affected in NIH3T3 cells or mutant mice. In embryos, levels of nuclear Yap and Tead1 varied depending on cell types. Strong nuclear accumulation of Yap and Tead1 were seen in myocardium, correlating with requirements of Tead1 for proliferation. However, their distribution did not always correlate with proliferation. Taken together, mammalian Tead proteins regulate cell proliferation and contact inhibition as a transcriptional mediator of Hippo signaling, but the mechanisms by which Tead/Yap regulate cell proliferation differ depending on cell types, and Tead, Yap and Hippo signaling may play multiple roles in mouse embryos. We used microarrays to know the gene expression profiles regurated by Tead2-VP16, Tead2-EnR, Yap, and cell density in NIH3T3 cells. Keywords: Cell density, genetic modification Tead2-VP16-, Tead2-EnR-, Yap- and control vector-expressing cells were cultured at low or high density for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
