Project description:In tumorous conditions, the transcription factor STAT1, traditionally recognized for its anti-tumor role in immunology, exhibits pro-survival characteristics, though the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Investigating STAT1's function in isogenic colorectal tumor cells with wild-type or mutant KRAS, we found that STAT1 specifically promotes the survival and proliferation of cells with mutant KRAS. Through gene expression profiling, we discovered a previously unknown role of STAT1 in upregulating sterol and lipid biosynthetic genes specifically in mutant KRAS cells. This effect is driven by STAT1’s phosphorylation at serine 727 and its cooperation with STAT3 and STAT5 for the transcriptional upregulation of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBP) 1 and 2, which boost de novo sterol and lipid biosynthesis. In mutant KRAS cells, STAT1 amplifies the mevalonate pathway, maintaining its serine 727 phosphorylation through the upregulation of RHO GTPase signaling and establishing a positive feedback loop through the transcription factors YAP1 and TEAD4, further driving lipid biosynthesis and tumor growth. Through xenograft tumor assays in mice, we discovered that the STAT1-YAP1 axis plays a role in mutant KRAS tumor cells' resistance to mevalonate pathway inhibitors, which can be overcome by pharmacologically targeting the YAP1-TEAD interaction. Additionally, the STAT1-YAP1 arm is essential for the intrinsic resistance to EGFR-targeting therapy in the mutant KRAS colon cancer cells. These findings indicate that the STAT1-YAP1 pathway plays a significant role in therapy resistance and presents a potential therapeutic target in mutant KRAS colorectal cancer. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying genes commonly regulated by STAT1 and YAP1 in HCT116 cells.

Project description:High grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most common and aggressive ovarian malignancy. Accumulating evidence indicates that HGSOC may originate from human fallopian tube epithelial cells (FTECs), although the exact pathogen(s) and/or molecular mechanism underlying the malignant transformation of FTECs is unclear. Here we show that human papillomavirus (HPV), which could reach FTECs via retrograde menstruation or sperm-carrying, interacts with the yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) to drive the initiation and progression of high grade serous cancer (HGSC). HPV prevents FTECs from natural replicative and YAP1-induced senescence, thereby promoting YAP1-induced malignant Transformation of FTECs. HPV also stimulates proliferation and drives metastasis of YAP1-transformed FTECs. YAP1, in turn, stimulates the expression of the putative HPV receptors and suppresses the innate immune system to facilitate HPV acquisition. These findings provide critical clues for developing new strategies to prevent and treat HGSOC.

Project description:Pulmonary artery (PA) pressure increases during lung growth after unilateral pneumonectomy (PNX). Mechanosensitive transcriptional co-activator, yes-associated protein (YAP1), in endothelial cells (ECs) is necessary for angiogenesis during post-PNX lung growth. We investigate whether increases in PA pressure following PNX controls angiogenesis through YAP1. When hydrostatic pressure is applied to human pulmonary arterial ECs (HPAECs), the expression of YAP1, transcription factor TEAD1, and angiogenic factor receptor Tie2 increases, while these effects are inhibited when HPAECs are treated with YAP1 siRNA or YAP1S94A mutant that fails to bind to TEAD1. Hydrostatic pressure also stimulates DNA synthesis and cell migration in HPAECs, while YAP1 knockdown or YAP1S94A mutant inhibits the effects. Gene enrichment analysis reveals that the levels of extracellular matrix (ECM) or cell adhesion molecules are altered in post-PNX mouse lung ECs, which interact with YAP1. Exosomes are known to promote tissue regeneration. Proteomics analysis reveals that exosomes isolated from conditioned media of post-PNX mouse lung ECs contain the higher levels of ECM and cell-adhesion proteins compared to those from sham-operated mouse lung ECs. Recruitment of host lung ECs and blood vessel formation are stimulated in the fibrin gel containing exosomes isolated from post-PNX mouse lung ECs or pressurized ECs, while YAP1 knockdown inhibits the effects. These results suggest that increases in PA pressure stimulate angiogenesis through YAP1 during regenerative lung growth.

Project description:In order to define YAP1-specific gene expression patterns in gastric cancer, the constitutively active mutant YAP1 (YAP1-S127A) was over-expressed in MKN45 gastric cancer cells. Defined gene expression signature was later used to stratify gastric cancer patients according to the presence of the YAP1-activated signature. Three groups of samples are included: 1. Mock control; 2. Vector control; 3. YAP-S127A expression. Gene expression profiles of YAP-S127A mutant-expressing cells were compared to that of mock and vector control. Experiments were done in MKN45 gastric cancer cells.

Project description:Doxycycline-inducible YAP1 S127A-driven rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) tumors, control skeletal muscle and regressed tumors following YAP1 normalization by doxycycline withdrawal were compared to determine the YAP1-regulated gene expression profile relevant to RMS formation. To characterize the role of YAP1 in embryonal RMS at the molecular level and identify a gene signature for YAP1 activity readout, we compared the gene expression profiles of our YAP1-driven ERMS with control donor skeletal muscle (SKM) and doxycycline-withdrawn regressing tumors by microarray (doxycycline withdrawal for 3 or 6 days; OFF3 and OFF6, respectively). We next extracted a list of genes regulated by YAP1 in our YAP1-driven ERMS tumors (TUM) versus the 3 other conditions: skeletal muscle control (SKM), Doxycycline-withdrawn 3 days (OFF3) and 6 days (OFF6). The overlap between the 3 lists identified a subset of 633 common upregulated genes, named the YAP1-ERMS_UP signature, as well as 249 common downregulated genes, termed the YAP1-ERMS_DOWN signature. Proliferative pathways and transcriptional targets of E2F factors were highlighted in the YAP1-ERMS_UP genes, while muscle differentiation and trancriptional targets of myogenic factors Myod1 and Mef2 were highlighted in the YAP1-ERMS_DOWN genes. Tumor regression conditions (OFF3 days; OFF6 days) as well as control muscle (CTL) were compared with tumors at day 0 of doxycycline withdrawal (TUM). 3 samples for each conditions were used.
