DUB1 suppresses Hippo signaling via modulating TAZ protein in gastric cancer

ABSTRACT: 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.

Regulation of Hippo/YAP axis by CXCR7 in the tumorigenesis of gastric cancer

Project description:The Hippo pathway is crucial in organ size control and tumorigenesis. The dys-regulation of Hippo/YAP axis is vastly observed in gastric cancer, while the effective therapeutic targets for Hippo/YAP axis are still not clear. It is important and urgent to identify reliable drug targets and the underlying mechanisms, which could inhibit the activity of Hippo/YAP axis and gastric cancer progression. In our current study, we demonstrate the membrane receptor CXCR7 (C-X-C chemokine receptor 7) is an important modulator for Hippo/YAP axis. The activation of CXCR7 could stimulate gastric cancer cell progression through Hippo/YAP axis in vitro and in vivo, while pharmaceutical inhibition of CXCR7 via ACT-1004-1239 could block the tumorigenesis in gastric cancer. Molecular studies reveal that the activation of CXCR7 could dephosphorylate YAP, facilitate YAP nuclear accumulation and transcriptional activation in gastric cancer. CXCR7 functions via G-protein Gαq/11 and Rho GTPase to activate YAP activity. Interestingly, ChIP assay shows that YAP could bind to the promoter region of CXCR7 and facilitate its gene transcription, which indicates CXCR7 is both the upstream signaling and downstream target for Hippo/YAP axis in gastric cancer. In general, we identified a novel positive feedback loop between CXCR7 and Hippo/YAP axis, while blockade of CXCR7 could be a plausible strategy for gastric cancer.

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.

The control of H. pylori-mediated gastric cancer development and progression through YAP/TAZ signal regulation

Project description:Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori), a gastrointestinal pathogen, is known to increase the risk of gastric cancer by activating chronic pro-inflammatory signaling pathways in epithelial cells. Cytotoxin-related protein A (CagA) is known to play an important role in gastric cancer development. CagA has been reported to induce tumors by inducing overexpression of YAP/TAZ, a component of Hippo signaling, and dysregulation of the pathway, thereby promoting cell proliferation and resistance to apoptosis. However, the role of H.pylori-mediated YAP/TAZ has not yet been fully investigated. Our study aimed to investigate the role of YAP/TAZ in H.pylori-mediated Hippo pathway dysregulation in gastric carcinogenesis using H.pylori-infected gastric cancer cell lines, knockout mice, and patient-derived organoids. CagA-mediated YAP overexpression in gastric epithelial cells induced intestinal epithelial metaplasia and induced intracellular rearrangement of the binding protein ZO1, thereby conferring cell motility.

The effect of YAP/TAZ knockdown on the intestinal epithelium

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.

Regulation of gene expression by the Hippo effectors, Taz and Yap, in muscle stem cells

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.

JOSD1 facilitates colorectal cancer progression via stabilizing YAP

Project description:Colorectal cancer is one of the most lethal human malignancies in the world. Although great efforts are put in developing novel therapeutic targets, the effective targeting drugs are still limited. Recent studies reveal the abnormality of Hippo/YAP axis play critical role in the oncogenic process of Colorectal cancer. It is of great importance to demonstrate the regulation of Hippo signaling activity and YAP protein turnover in Colorectal cancer. Besides, the phosphorylation cascade on YAP function, which has been thoroughly investigated, the ubiquitination of YAP is also important in Hippo signaling status. Here, We utilized the DUB (Deubiquitinase) siRNA library to identify critical DUB for Hippo signaling. We discovered JOSD1 as a critical factor to facilitate Colorectal cancer cell stemness and progression, which deubiquitinated and stabilized YAP protein. The clinical data analysis implicated JOSD1 was correlated with YAP activity and poor survival. Molecular studies demonstrated that JOSD1 associated with the YAP protein and enhanced YAP protein stability by blocking the K48-linked polyubiquitination of YAP. Our study revealed a novel deubiquitinase of Hippo/YAP axis and one possible therapeutic target for YAP-driven Colorectal cancer

MARK2/MARK3 kinases are catalytic co-dependencies of YAP/TAZ in human cancer

Project description:Human cancer is often caused by dysfunctional developmental pathways, but such mechanisms do not always present clear opportunities for therapeutic intervention. This is exemplified by the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway, which is comprised of a kinase module that restrains the function of YAP/TAZ transcriptional coactivators; a pathway that becomes dysregulated in a wide array of human cancers. Hence, YAP/TAZ hyperactivation is a tumorigenic mechanism and a validated therapeutic target in oncology. In this study, we used a paralog co-targeting genetic screening strategy to identify the kinases MARK2/3 as co-dependencies of YAP/TAZ in diverse cancer contexts. We use biochemical and epistasis experiments to show that MARK2/3 phosphorylate and inhibit the activity of Hippo pathway components NF2, MST1/2, and MAP4Ks, which leads to indirect upstream control of LATS1/2 activity. In addition, MARK2/3 directly phosphorylate YAP/TAZ to shield these coactivators from LATS1/2-mediated inhibition. The net consequence of this multi-level regulation is that YAP/TAZ-dependent human cancers have an absolute requirement for MARK2/3 catalytic activity to sustain tumor cell proliferation and viability. To simulate therapeutic targeting of MARK2/3 in vivo, we adapted the EPIYA-repeat region of the CagA protein from H. pylori as a catalytic inhibitor of MARK2/3, which we show exerts potent anti-tumor activity via on-target mechanisms. Together, these findings reveal MARK2/3 as an obligate catalytic requirement for YAP/TAZ function in human cancer; kinase targets that may allow for novel pharmacology that restores Hippo-mediated tumor suppression.

VCPIP1 facilitates pancreatic cancer progression via Hippo/YAP signaling

Project description:The dys-regulation of Hippo signaling was observed in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD), while the over-activation of YAP was crucial for tumor progression. It is unclear why YAP was hyper-activated in PAAD, although the inhibitory phospho-cascade was still functional. Recently studies revealed that the ubiquitin modification of YAP also play important roles in Hippo/YAP axis and cancer progression. In order to understand the potential mechanisms of ubiquitination and deubiquitination process in YAP function, we carried out siRNA screening for critical deubiquitinases in PAAD. Via the deubiquitinases (DUB) library, we identified Valosin Containing Protein Interacting Protein 1 (VCPIP1) as an important effector in YAP function and PAAD progression. Inhibition of VCPIP1 hampered PAAD progression via Hippo signaling. Clinical data revealed that VCPIP1 was elevated in PAAD and correlated with poor survival in PAAD patients. Biochemical assays showed that VCPIP1 could interact with YAP and inhibit K48-linked poly-ubiquitination, which subsequently increased YAP stability. Interestingly, YAP could direct bind to VCPIP1 promoter region and facilitate its transcription in PAAD. Our study revealed a forward feedback loop between VCPIP1 and Hippo signaling in PAAD, indicating VCPIP1 as a potential therapeutic drug targets in PAAD.
