Extrinsic induction of apoptosis and tumor suppression via the p53-Reprimo-Hippo-YAP/TAZ-p73 pathway

ABSTRACT: Tumor progression is suppressed by inherent cellular mechanisms such as apoptosis. The p53 tumor suppressor gene is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancer and plays a pivotal role in tumor suppression. RPRM is a target gene of p53 known to be involved in tumor suppression, but its molecular function has remained elusive. Here we report that Reprimo (the protein product of RPRM) is secreted and extrinsically induces apoptosis in recipient cells. We identified FAT1, FAT4, CELSR1, CELSR2, and CELSR3, members of the protocadherin family, as receptors for Reprimo. Subsequent analyses revealed that Reprimo acts upstream of the Hippo-YAP/TAZ-p73 axis and induces apoptosis by transactivating various pro-apoptotic genes. In vivo analyses further support the tumor suppressive effects of secreted Reprimo. These findings identify the p53-Reprimo-Hippo-YAP/TAZ-p73 axis as a novel extrinsic apoptosis pathway that plays a crucial role in tumor suppression. Our discovery of the innate tumor eliminator Reprimo and the downstream pathway offers a new promising avenue for the pharmacological treatment of cancer.

MARK2/MARK3 kinases are catalytic co-dependencies of YAP/TAZ in human cancer (part2)

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.

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.

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.

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.

A novel irreversible TEAD inhibitor, SWTX-143, blocks the Hippo pathway and causes tumor regression in preclinical mesothelioma models [SubQ]

Project description:The Hippo pathway and its downstream effectors, the YAP and TAZ transcriptional coactivators, are deregulated in multiple different types of human cancer and are required for cancer cell phenotypes in vitro and in vivo, while largely dispensable for tissue homeostasis in adult mice. YAP/TAZ and their partner transcription factors, the TEAD1-4 factors, are therefore promising anti-cancer targets. Due to frequent YAP/TAZ hyperactivation caused by mutations in the Hippo pathway components NF2 and Lats2, mesothelioma is one of the prime cancer types predicted to be responsive to YAP/TAZ-TEAD inhibitor treatment. Mesothelioma is a devastating disease for which currently no effective treatment options exist. Here, we describe a novel covalent YAP/TAZ-TEAD inhibitor, SWTX-143, that binds to the palmitoylation pocket of all TEAD isoforms. SWTX-143 caused irreversible and specific inhibition of the transcriptional activity of YAP/TAZ-TEAD in Hippo-mutant tumor cell lines. More importantly, YAP/TAZ-TEAD inhibitor treatment caused strong mesothelioma regression in human subcutaneous xenograft models and in an orthotopic mesothelioma mouse model. Finally, SWTX-143 also selectively impaired the growth of NF2-mutant kidney cancer cell lines, suggesting that the exquisite sensitivity of mesothelioma to these YAP/TAZ-TEAD inhibitors can be extended to other tumor types with aberrations in Hippo signaling. In brief, we describe a novel and specific YAP/TAZ-TEAD inhibitor that has great potential to treat multiple Hippo-mutant solid tumor types.

The Hippo Pathway Prevents YAP/TAZ–Driven Hypertranscription and Controls Neural Progenitor Number [RNA-seq]

Project description:The Hippo pathway controls the activity of YAP/TAZ transcriptional coactivators through a kinase cascade. Despite the critical role of this pathway in tissue growth and tumorigenesis, it is not fully understood how YAP/TAZ–mediated transcription drives proliferation. By analyzing the effects of inactivating LATS1/2 kinases, the direct upstream inhibitors of YAP/TAZ, on mouse brain development and applying cell-number–normalized transcriptome analysis, we discovered that YAP/TAZ activation causes a global increase in transcription activity, known as hypertranscription, and upregulates many genes associated with increased biosynthetic capacity and proliferation. In contrast, conventional read-depth–normalized RNA-sequencing analysis failed to detect the scope of the transcriptome shift and missed most relevant gene ontologies. Hypertranscription in neural progenitors inhibits differentiation and triggers DNA replication stress, DNA damage, and p53 activation, resulting in massive apoptosis. Our findings reveal the remarkable impact of YAP/TAZ activation on global transcription activity and have important implications for understanding YAP/TAZ function.
