Microarray based gene expression comparison between wild type and yap-1(ys38) C. elegans embyos

ABSTRACT: Although multiple determinants for establishing polarity in membranes of epithelial cells have been identified, the mechanism for maintaining the apicobasal polarity is not fully understood. Here, we show that the conserved Hippo kinase pathway plays a role in the maintenance of apicobasal polarity in the developing intestine of Caenorhabditis elegans. We screened suppressors of the mutation in wts-1, the gene encoding the LATS kinase homolog, whose deficiency leads to the disturbance of the apicobasal polarity of the intestinal cells and the eventual death of organisms. Multiple alleles of yap-1 and egl-44, each encoding the worm homologs of YAP/Yki and TEAD/Sd, respectively, were identified as suppressors. WTS-1 directly bound to YAP-1 and inhibited its nuclear accumulation in intestinal cells. We also found that NFM-1, the worm homolog of NF2/Merlin, functioned in the same genetic pathway as WTS-1 to regulate YAP-1 for maintaining cellular polarity. The transcriptome analysis using microarray identified several target candidates of the YAP-1-EGL-44 complex including TAT-2, encoding a putative P-type ATPase. In summary, we have delineated the conserved Hippo pathway in worms consisting of NFM-1-WTS-1-YAP-1-EGL-44 and prove that the proper regulation of YAP-1 by upstream NFM-1 and WTS-1 is esssential for the maintenance of apicobasal membrane identities of the growing intestine

CDC42 controlled apical-basal polarity regulates intestinal stem cell to transit amplifying cell fate transition via YAP-EGF-mTOR signaling

Project description:Epithelial polarity is controlled by a polarity machinery including the Rho GTPase CDC42 and Scribble/PAR. By using intestinal stem cell (ISC)-specific deletion of CDC42 in Olfm4-IRES-eGFPCreERT2;CDC42flox/flox mice, we found that ISC-initiated CDC42 loss caused a drastic hyper-proliferation of transit amplifying (TA) cells and disrupted epithelial polarity. CDC42-null crypts displayed expanded TA cell and diminished ISC populations, accompanied by elevated hippo signaling via YAP/TAZ - Ereg and mTOR activation, independent from canonical Wnt signaling. YAP/TAZ conditional knockout restored the balance of ISC/TA cell populations and crypt proliferation but did not rescue the polarity in CDC42-null small intestine. mTOR or EGFR inhibitor treatment of CDC42 KO mice exhibited similar rescuing effects without affecting YAP/TAZ signaling. Inducible ablation of Scribble in intestinal epithelial cells mimics that of CDC42 KO defects including crypt hyperplasia and hippo signaling activation. Mammalian epithelial polarity regulates ISC and TA cell fate and proliferation via a hippo-Ereg-mTOR cascade.

YAP regulates cell mechanics by controlling focal adhesion assembly

Project description:Hippo effectors YAP/TAZ act as on-off mechanosensing switches by sensing modifications in extracellular matrix (ECM) composition and mechanics. The regulation of their activity has been described so far through a hierarchical model in which elements of Hippo pathway are under the control of Focal Adhesions (FAs). Here we unveiled the molecular mechanism by which cell spreading and RhoA GTPase control FA formation through YAP to stabilize the anchorage of actin cytoskeleton to cell membrane. This mechanism required YAP co-transcriptional function and involved the activation of genes encoding for integrins and FA docking proteins. Tuning YAP transcriptional activity led to the modification of cell mechanics, force development, adhesion strength, determined cell shaping, migration and differentiation. These results provide new insights into the mechanism of YAP mechanosensing activity and qualify Hippo effector as the key determinant of cell mechanics in response to ECM cues.

Transcriptional response to Activating transcription factor 3 (Atf3) activity in the Drosophila eye antenna imaginal disc (EAD) epithelium.

Project description:Here we describe the transcriptional response to Atf3 expression in the EAD. Atf3 is a cell polarity response gene acting downstream of the membrane-associated Scribble polarity complex. Loss of the neoplastic tumor suppressors Scribble or Dlg1 induces Atf3 expression via aPKC signaling. Using ChIP-seq we have determined that Atf3 targets are enriched for roles in cytoarchitecture. Gain of Atf3 function interferes with organization of the microtubule network, thereby disturbing vesicular trafficking processes including endocytosis, and consequently alters the distribution of key polarity proteins along the apicobasal axis. Conversely, removal of Atf3 from cells lacking Dlg1 suppresses trafficking defects and restores both the normal localization of polarity determinants and epithelial differentiation. These results thus establish loss of polarity as a novel cue that induces Atf3 and demonstrate that gain of Atf3 function drives specific hallmarks of epithelial cells deficient for the Scribble polarity module.

Transcriptional targets of Hippo signaling in mammalian cells

Project description:The Hippo pathway is an emerging signaling cascade involved in the regulation of organ size control. It consists of evolutionally conserved protein kinases that are sequentially phosphorylated and activated. The active Hippo pathway subsequently phosphorylates a transcription coactivator, YAP, which precludes its nuclear localization and transcriptional activation. Identification of transcriptional targets of YAP in diverse cellular contexts is therefore critical to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms in which the Hippo pathway restricts tissue growth. We used microarrays to profile the gene expression patterns upon acute siRNA knockdown of Hippo pathway components in multiple mammalian cell lines and identified a set of genes representing immediate transcriptional targets of the Hippo/Yap signaling pathway. Three mammalian cell lines (HEK293T, HepG2, HaCaT) were transfected with scramble siRNA controls or siRNAs against NF2 and LATS2, two core components of the Hippo pathway, simultaneously. Total RNAs were harvested four days after transfection to reveal the gene expression pattern unsing microarry. YAP and TAZ siRNAs were also transfected along with NF2 and LATS2 siRNAs to identify YAP/TAZ-dependent transcriptional targets upon loss of NF2/LATS2.

Global microRNA expression analysis in mouse skin normal tissues and skin tumors induced by constitutive active YAP mutant.

Project description:Global downregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) is commonly observed in human cancers and can have a causative role in tumorigenesis. The mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Here we show that YAP, the downstream target of the tumor-suppressive Hippo signaling pathway regulates miRNA biogenesis in a cell density-dependent manner. At low cell density, nuclear YAP binds and sequesters p72 (DDX17), a regulatory component of the miRNA processing machinery. At high cell density, Hippo-mediated cytoplasmic retention of YAP facilitates p72 association with Microprocessor and binding to a specific sequence motif in pri-miRNAs. Inactivation of the Hippo pathway or expression of constitutively active YAP causes widespread miRNA suppression in cells and tumors and a corresponding post-transcriptional induction of MYC expression. Thus, the Hippo pathway links contact-inhibition regulation to miRNA biogenesis and may be responsible for the widespread miRNA repression observed in cancer. Two conditions (normal epidermal cells and oncogenic epidermal cells expressing YAP S127A mutant) were analyzed in duplicate.
