Conditional expression of sh-YAP1 modulates YAP1/TEAD-dependent transcription and causes regression of established human malignant mesothelioma MSTO-211H [sh-YAP1] xenografts.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We investigate the dependence of human malignant pleural mesothelioma on a functional YAP1-TEAD transcription factor complex to maintain fully established tumors in vivo. We show that, in a dysfunctional Hippo genetic background, downregulation of YAP1 by shRNA results in modulation of YAP1/TEAD-dependent gene expression and regression of established tumor xenografts. Our data demonstrate that, in the context of a mutated Hippo pathway, YAP1 activity is essential to maintain the growth of mesothelioma cells in vivo, thus validating the concept of inhibiting the activated YAP1/TEAD complex for the treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma patients.
