A super-enhancer actuated by heterodimerization of a specific YAP1 splicing variant, YAP1-2α, with TAZ endows cancer stemness and drug resistance

ABSTRACT: Cancer cells with homologous recombination defects are particularly susceptible to PARP inhibitors (PARPi) and experience synthetic lethality. We found that the development of PARPi resistance in these cancer cells is associated with the formation of nuclear membrane-less condensates containing a specific YAP1 variant termed YAP1-2α, TAZ, TEAD, and BRD4. These nuclear condensates are generated through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), initiated by the heterodimerization of YAP1-2α with TAZ, followed by multivalent interactions with mediator proteins to activate a super-enhancer. This super-enhancer facilitates the robustness of cancer cells by increasing cancer stemness, contributing to anti-cancer drug resistance not limited to PARPi. Our study underscores the unexpected connection between RNA splicing and the malignant grade of cancer. Targeting YAP1-2α/TAZ/TEAD-driven super-enhancers is a promising approach for overcoming resistance to cancer treatment.

Activation of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/MET signaling as a mechanism of acquired resistance to a novel YAP1/TEAD small molecule inhibitor.

Project description:Many tumor types harbor alterations in the Hippo pathway, including mesothelioma, where a high percentage of cases are considered YAP1/TEAD dependent. Identification of autopalmitoylation sites in the hydrophobic palmitate pocket of TEADs, which may be necessary for YAP1 protein interactions, has enabled modern drug discovery platforms to generate compounds that allosterically inhibit YAP1/TEAD complex formation and transcriptional activity. We report the discovery and characterization of a novel YAP1/TEAD inhibitor MRK-A from an aryl ether chemical series demonstrating potent and specific inhibition of YAP1/TEAD activity. In vivo, MRK-A showed a favorable tolerability profile in mice and demonstrated pharmacokinetics suitable for twice daily (BID) oral dosing in preclinical efficacy studies. Importantly, monotherapeutic targeting of YAP1/TEAD in preclinical models generated regressions in a mesothelioma CDX model; however, rapid resistance to therapy was observed. RNA-sequencing of resistant tumors revealed mRNA expression changes correlated with the resistance state and a marked increase of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) expression. In vitro, exogenous HGF was able to fully rescue cytostasis induced by MRK-A in mesothelioma cell lines. Additionally, co-administration of small molecule inhibitors of the MET receptor tyrosine kinase suppressed the resistance generating effect of HGF on MRK-A induced growth inhibition. In this work, we report the structure and characterization of MRK-A demonstrating potent and specific inhibition of YAP1/TAZ-TEAD mediated transcriptional responses, with potential implications for treating malignancies driven by altered Hippo signaling, including factors resulting in acquired drug resistance.

Conditional expression of sh-YAP1 modulates YAP1/TEAD-dependent transcription and causes regression of established human malignant mesothelioma MSTO-211H [sh-YAP1] xenografts.

Project description: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.

Effect of YAP1/TAZ on rumen epithelial cell proliferation

Project description:Promoting rumen development is closely related to the health and efficient growth of ruminants. In the present study, we aimed to assess the impact of YAP1/TAZ on RE proliferation. The transcriptomic expression was analyzed to investigate the potential regulatory networks. The results indicated that GA promoted RE cell proliferation, while VP disrupted RE cell proliferation. The Hippo, Wnt, and calcium signaling pathways were altered in cells following the regulation of YAP1/TAZ. Upon YAP1/TAZ activation through GA, the CCN1/2 increased to promote RE cell proliferation. While when the YAP1/TAZ was inhibited by VP, the BIRC3 decreased to suppress RE cell proliferation. Thus, YAP1/TAZ may be potential targets for regulating RE cell proliferation. These findings broaden our understanding of the role of YAP1/TAZ and their regulators in RE and offer a potential target for promoting rumen development.

YAP1 exerts its transcriptional control via TEAD mediated activation of enhancers

Project description:YAP is the principle effector of the Hippo signaling pathway; a key regulator of tissue homeostasis whose dysregulation is linked to cancer development. YAP regulation of gene expression is thought to involve the TEAD transcription factor family. Here we show that YAP and TEAD1 binding always co-occurs and is mediated by single as well as double TEAD1 motifs with a particular 3bp spacer (CATTCCNNNCATTCC). This suggests that YAP activity appears exclusively mediated by TEAD1. Despite being characterized as a promoter-binding factor YAP/TEAD actually binds predominantly to enhancers. Moreover we show that YAP is necessary for activity of the linked gene and proper chromatin state of regulated enhancers. These results establish mode of binding and activation of YAP mediated nuclear response of the Hippo pathway by TEAD1 and provide a comprehensive list and a novel class of direct target genes that are regulated distally and could be exploited for cancer therapeutics. Sequencing of ChIP and input samples for YAP1 and TEAD1 transcription factors and H3K27ac histone modification in SF268 glioblastoma cells and for YAP1 transcription factor in NCI-H2052 mesothelioma cells.

The Hippo tranducer YAP1 transforms activated satellite cells and is a potent effector of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma formation

Project description:The Hippo pathway effector YAP1 controls stem cell fate in epithelial tissues, but its role in stem cells of non-epithelial tissues, such as skeletal muscle, is poorly documented. Here we show that sustained YAP1 activity in mouse activated satellite cells in vivo induces rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) resembling human embryonal RMS (ERMS) with high penetrance and short latency. The transcriptional program of YAP1 in ERMS drives pro-proliferative pathways whilst decreasing MyoD1 and MEF2 pro-differentiation activity to globally maintain the myoblastic phenotype of ERMS. Normalization of YAP1 expression reduced tumor burden and allowed myogenic differentiation of YAP1-driven and RD ERMS xenografts in situ, thereby identifying YAP1 as a potent RMS-causing oncogene and potential target for differentiation therapy. A total of four samples were analyzed. Two ChIP-Seq datasets from RD human cells, containing reads connected to TEAD binding and IgG binding as control/background; two ChIP-Seq datasets from YAP-ERMS mouse cells, containing reads connected to TEAD binding and Input reads as control/background

RNA-Sequencing analysis of liver tissue from female Foxa3-Cre YAP1 knockout mice, Foxa3-Cre YAP1 KO TAZ heterozygous mice, and WT littermate controls, at 3-4 months of age

Project description:We developed a mouse model of bile duct paucity by deleting Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) in foregut endoderm progenitors, using the Foxa3 promoter to drive Cre expression. YAP1 KO mice are viable postnatally and survive long-term despite a complete failure of intrahepatic bile duct development, resembling the liver phenotype of Alagille syndrome. Adult YAP1 KO mice suffer from severe chronic cholestasis, but show minimal hepatocellular injury, suggesting that the hepatocytes have adapted to preserve liver function and reduce damage from the toxicity of bile acids and bilirubin. We next bred Foxa3-Cre YAP1 KO TAZ heterozygote and Foxa3-Cre YAP1 KO TAZ KO (DKO) mice to assess the role of TAZ in this model. DKO mice and male YAP KO TAZ heterozygotes died around time of birth. The survivors, YAP1 KO TAZ heterozygote females, were overall phenotypically similar to YAP1 KO mice, with absence of intrahepatic bile ducts and long-term survival. We used RNA-seq to analyze the gene expression patterns of whole liver tissue of female adult YAP1 KO mice compared to WT controls (C57BL/6 background), and female adult YAP1 KO TAZ heterozygote (YKTH) mice compared to WT controls (mixed C57BL/6 - FVB background). We found that both YAP1 KO and YAP1 KO TAZ heterozygote female mice were overall very similar and showed similar alterations in gene expression compared to WT. There were a few differences in pathways involved in cell cycling and monocyte recruitment.

Gene espression Profile by YAP1 and TAZ

Project description:The Hippo signaling pathway is evolutionarily well conserved, and all core components have one or more mammalian orthologs, including MST1/2 (Hippo), SAV1 (Salvador), LATS1/2 (Warts), MOB1 (Mats), YAP1/TAZ (Yorkie), and TEAD1/2/3/4 (Scalloped) (Halder and Johnson, 2011; Pan, 2007; Dong et al., 2007; Saucedo and Edgar, 2007). When Hippo signaling is active, YAP1/TAZ is phosphorylated by LATS1/2 and sequestered by 14-3-3 proteins in cytoplasm. When Hippo signaling is absent, unphosphorylated YAP1/TAZ enters the nucleus and increases transcriptional activation of genes involved in cell proliferation and survival. The indispensability of the Hippo pathway in restricting cell growth and proliferation has prompted speculation that many members of the pathway might be involved in tumorigenesis. To see the effect of YAP1 and TAZ in HCC cell, we generated gene expression profile.

YAP1 maintains active chromatin state in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas that promotes tumorigenesis through cooperation with BRD4

Project description:The conserved Hippo-YAP signaling pathway is involved in homeostasis and organ development through the regulation of cell growth and cell death. Its downstream effectors YAP1, WWTR1 (TAZ), and TEAD are transcriptionally active in the majority of human cancers, often as a result of copy-number variation or inactivating mutations of core components and upstream regulators. Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas and other published data of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) reveals somatic alterations of the Hippo-YAP pathway in approximately 50% of HNSCC, making it the most altered pathway in these cancers. Unfortunately, highly specific inhibitors targeting the YAP1 transcriptional complex are not available, and better strategies to target this pathway are sought. Here, we show that FAT1 (FAT Atypical Cadherin 1), an upstream inhibitor of YAP1, is mutated either by missense or truncating mutation in 29% of HNSCC. Comprehensive proteomic and drug-screening studies across pan-cancer models confirm that FAT1-mutant HNSCC exhibit selective and higher sensitivity to BRD4 inhibition by JQ1. Epigenomic analysis reveals an active chromatin state in FAT1-mutant HNSCC cells that is driven by the YAP/TAZ transcriptional complex through recruitment of BRD4 to deposit active histone marks, thereby maintaining an oncogenic transcriptional state. This study reveals a detailed cooperative mechanism between YAP1 and BRD4 in HNSCC and suggests a specific therapeutic opportunity for the treatment of this subset of head and neck cancer patients.

Yap1-Scribble polarization is required for hematopoietic stem cell division and fate

Project description:Yap1 and its paralogue Taz largely control epithelial tissue growth. We have identified that hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) fitness response to stress depends on Yap1 and Taz. Deletion of Yap1 and Taz induces a loss of HSC quiescence, symmetric self-renewal ability and renders HSC more vulnerable to serial myeloablative 5-fluorouracil treatment. This effect depends on the predominant cytosolic polarization of Yap1 through its PDZ domain-mediated interaction with the scaffold Scribble. Scribble and Yap1 coordinate to control cytoplasmic Cdc42 activity and HSC fate determination in vivo. Deletion of Scribble disrupts Yap1 co-polarization with Cdc42 and decreases Cdc42 activity, resulting in increased selfrenewing HSC with competitive reconstitution advantages. These data suggest that Scribble/Yap1 co-polarization is indispensable for Cdc42- dependent activity on HSC asymmetric division and fate. The combined loss of Scribble, Yap1 and Taz results in transcriptional upregulation of Rac-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factors, Rac activation and HSC fitness restoration. Scribble links Cdc42 and the cytosolic functions of the Hippo signaling cascade in HSC fate determination.
