Project description:The Hippo pathway plays a key role in development, organ size control, and tissue homeostasis, and its dysregulation contributes to cancer. The LATS tumor suppressor kinases phosphorylate and inhibit the YAP/TAZ transcriptional co-activators to suppress gene expression and cell growth. Through a screen of marine natural products, we identified microcolin B (MCB) as a Hippo activator. Structure-activity optimization yielded more potent MCB analogs, which led to identification of PITP as the direct molecular targets. We established a critical role of PITP in regulating LATS and YAP. Moreover, we showed that PITP influences the Hippo pathway via cellular PI4P. This study uncovers a previously unrecognized role of PITP in Hippo pathway regulation and as potential cancer therapeutic targets.

Project description:The phosphoinositide PI-5-P is a signaling lipid that mediates cellular responses to oxidative stress and DNA damage, however it is unclear how PI-5-P participates in these processes. Intracellular pools of PI-5-P are regulated by PI5P-Kinases (PI5P4Ks), but how PI5P4K activity is controlled has also remained elusive. Here, we used an unbiased screen to discover the core Hippo pathway kinases MST1/2 phosphorylate and inhibit PI5P4K signaling in vitro and in cells. We further show PI5P4Ks regulate several Hippo/YAP-related phenotypes in human cells, such as the interaction between the key Hippo proteins MOB1-LATS, and the genetic program governing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Mechanistically, we show that MOB1 binds PI-5-P with high specificity and potency, providing a signaling connection between the Hippo Pathway and PI5P4Ks. These discoveries shed new light on how these two important evolutionary conserved signaling pathways are integrated to regulate metazoan development and human disease.

Project description:YAP is an oncogene and an inducer of Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT). We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression to identify YAP target genes. PUBLICATION ABSTRACT:; The Hippo pathway defines a novel signaling cascade regulating cell proliferation and survival in Drosophila, which involves the negative regulation of the transcriptional coactivator Yorkie by the kinases Hippo and Warts. We have recently shown that the human ortholog of Yorkie, YAP, maps to a minimal amplification locus in mouse and human cancers, and that it mediates dramatic transforming activity in MCF10A primary mammary epithelial cells. Here we show that LATS proteins (mammalian orthologs of Warts) interact directly with YAP in mammalian cells and that ectopic expression of LATS1, but not LATS2, effectively suppresses the YAP phenotypes. Furthermore, shRNA-mediated knockdown of LATS1 phenocopies YAP overexpression. Since this effect can be suppressed by simultaneous YAP knockdown, it suggests that YAP is the primary target of LATS1 in mammalian cells. Expression profiling of genes induced by ectopic expression of YAP or by knockdown of LATS1 reveals a subset of potential Hippo pathway targets implicated in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), suggesting that this is a key feature of YAP signaling in mammalian cells. Experiment Overall Design: MCF10A cells were infected with retrovirus constructs (vector or YAP) and puromycin was used to select for transduced cells. Cells were split and grown to ~60-75%% confluency at which point they were harvested for RNA. Vector vs. YAP comparison was done in duplicate.

Project description:Perturbation of the tightly regulated dynamic process of cell fate underlies many human diseases. The molecular mechanisms regulating breast cell fate in the hierarchically organized luminal and basal lineages of breast epithelium remain largely elusive. We performed a high-content confocal image-based shRNA screen for regulators of primary human breast cell fate. Inhibition of the Hippo kinases LATS was found to promote luminal fate and increase the number of progenitors, which is a paradox given that Hippo effectors YAP/TAZ have been associated with basal fate. Mechanistically, LATS loss increases the activities of YAP/TAZ and ERα, which in concert control breast cell fate via intrinsic and paracrine effects. Reduced LATS expression is found in breast cancers with a poor prognosis; this diminishes the sensitivity of ERα-positive- and increases the sensitivity of ERα-negative cancers to endocrine therapy. Thus, in this study we have unraveled crosstalk between Hippo and estrogen signaling and shown that LATS loss triggers expansion of luminal progenitors, the highly suspected cell-of-origin in most breast cancers. In this dataset, we provide microarray gene expression analysis of normal breast epithelial cells, freshly dissociated from reduction mammoplasties, in which LATS1/2 were knocked down comparing it to non-targeting control expressing breast 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.

Project description:Autophagy perturbation represents an emerging therapeutic strategy in cancer. The mammalian Hippo pathway is an evolutionary conserved tumor suppressive network, where the kinases LATS1/2 phosphorylate and inactivate oncogenic YAP/TAZ. Here, we demonstrated a pro-survival role of LATS1, but not LATS2, in hepatocellular carcinoma cells in response to sorafenib, a standard care of advanced HCC. Transcriptomic analysis revealed a restrictive role of LATS1 in autophagy regulation in HCC cells. Further, we found that the autophagy regulation by LATS1 was independent of its kinase activity. Instead, LATS1 stabilized autophagy core-machinery component Beclin 1 via promoting a non-canonical form of K27-linked ubiquitination, and consequently, inactive Beclin 1 self-dimer, in a E3 ligase NEDD4 dependent manner. Our study highlights a functional diversity between LATS1 and LATS2 and uncovers a scaffolding role of LATS1 in mediating a cross-talk between Hippo signalling and autophagy in HCC and therapy response.

Project description:The Hippo signaling pathway is known to regulate cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. The WWC proteins, WWC1 and WWC2, positively regulate the Hippo pathway by the activation of the LATS kinases and the subsequent cytoplasmic translocation of YAP. The in vivo role of WWC2 has not been studied, yet. We could show, that the ubiquitous knockout of WWC2 in mice leads to placental defects, growth retardation, a disturbed angiogenesis and vascularization resulting in embryonic lethality at around E11.5. To further understand the function of WWC2 in the embryonic development, a transcriptome analysis by next generation sequencing was performed.

Project description:Cell fate perturbations underlie many human diseases, including breast cancer. However, the regulation of breast cell fate remains largely elusive. The mammary gland epithelium consists of differentiated luminal epithelial and basal myoepithelial cells, as well as undifferentiated stem cells and more restricted progenitors. Breast cancer originates from this epithelium but the molecular mechanisms underlying breast epithelial hierarchy remain ill-defined. Mouse and human luminal cells express keratins (K)18, 8, 19 and/or estrogen receptor α (ERα) and progesterone receptor (PR), their basal counterparts express K5, 14 and/or p63 and/or α-smooth-muscle actin (α-SMA)4-6. In this study, using a high-content confocal image-based shRNA screen for tumor suppressors regulating human breast cell fate, we discovered that ablation of the Hippo kinases large tumor suppressor (LATS) 1 and 2, promoted luminal fate and increased the number of bipotent and luminal progenitors, the proposed cell-of-origin of most human breast cancers. Mechanistically, we discovered a crosstalk between Hippo and ERα signaling. In the presence of LATS, ERα was targeted for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Loss of LATS stabilized ERα and Hippo effectors YAP/TAZ, which in concert control breast cell fate via intrinsic and paracrine mechanisms. Our findings uncover a novel non-canonical (i.e., YAP/TAZ-independent) effect of LATS in the regulation of human breast cell fate. In this dataset, we provide microarray gene expression analysis of normal breast epithelial cells, freshly dissociated from reduction mammoplasties, in which LATS1/2 were knocked down comparing it to non-targeting control expressing breast cells.

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.
