Project description:The dys-regulation of Hippo signaling was observed in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD), while the over-activation of YAP was crucial for tumor progression. It is unclear why YAP was hyper-activated in PAAD, although the inhibitory phospho-cascade was still functional. Recently studies revealed that the ubiquitin modification of YAP also play important roles in Hippo/YAP axis and cancer progression. In order to understand the potential mechanisms of ubiquitination and deubiquitination process in YAP function, we carried out siRNA screening for critical deubiquitinases in PAAD. Via the deubiquitinases (DUB) library, we identified Valosin Containing Protein Interacting Protein 1 (VCPIP1) as an important effector in YAP function and PAAD progression. Inhibition of VCPIP1 hampered PAAD progression via Hippo signaling. Clinical data revealed that VCPIP1 was elevated in PAAD and correlated with poor survival in PAAD patients. Biochemical assays showed that VCPIP1 could interact with YAP and inhibit K48-linked poly-ubiquitination, which subsequently increased YAP stability. Interestingly, YAP could direct bind to VCPIP1 promoter region and facilitate its transcription in PAAD. Our study revealed a forward feedback loop between VCPIP1 and Hippo signaling in PAAD, indicating VCPIP1 as a potential therapeutic drug targets in PAAD.

Project description:Colorectal cancer is one of the most lethal human malignancies in the world. Although great efforts are put in developing novel therapeutic targets, the effective targeting drugs are still limited. Recent studies reveal the abnormality of Hippo/YAP axis play critical role in the oncogenic process of Colorectal cancer. It is of great importance to demonstrate the regulation of Hippo signaling activity and YAP protein turnover in Colorectal cancer. Besides, the phosphorylation cascade on YAP function, which has been thoroughly investigated, the ubiquitination of YAP is also important in Hippo signaling status. Here, We utilized the DUB (Deubiquitinase) siRNA library to identify critical DUB for Hippo signaling. We discovered JOSD1 as a critical factor to facilitate Colorectal cancer cell stemness and progression, which deubiquitinated and stabilized YAP protein. The clinical data analysis implicated JOSD1 was correlated with YAP activity and poor survival. Molecular studies demonstrated that JOSD1 associated with the YAP protein and enhanced YAP protein stability by blocking the K48-linked polyubiquitination of YAP. Our study revealed a novel deubiquitinase of Hippo/YAP axis and one possible therapeutic target for YAP-driven Colorectal cancer

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most lethal breast cancer subtypes. Due to a lack of effective therapeutic targets, chemotherapy is still the main medical treatment for TNBC patients. Thus, it is important and necessary to identify novel therapeutic targets for TNBC. Recent genomic studies implicated the hyper-activation of Hippo/YAP signaling in TNBC, manifesting its critical roles in TNBC carcinogenesis and cancer progression. RBCK1 was firstly identified as an important component for linear ubiquitin assembly complex (LUBAC) and facilitates NFKB signaling in immune response. Further studies showed RBCK1 also facilitated luminal type breast cancer growth and endocrine resistance via trans-activation estrogen receptor alpha. Interestingly, our data revealed an opposite function for RBCK1 in TNBC progression. RBCK1 over-expression inhibited TNBC cell progression in vitro and in vivo, while RBCK1depletion promoted TNBC cell invasion. The whole genomic expression profiling showed that RBCK1 depletion activated Hippo/YAP axis. RBCK1 depletion increased YAP protein level and Hippo target gene expression in TNBC. The molecular biology studies showed that RBCK1 could associate with YAP protein and enhance YAP protein stability via promoting YAP K48-linked poly-ubiquitination at several YAP lysine sites (K76, K204 and K321). Our study revealed the multi-faced RBCK1 function in different subtypes of breast cancer patients and a promising therapeutic target for TNBC treatment.

Project description:The Post-translational modification of Hippo/YAP pathway members plays an important role in regulating the activation of Hippo/YAP pathway and its effects in tumors. S-Palmitoylation, also known as S-acylation, is the most common protein Lipid modification, mainly composed of palmitoyl transferases (PATs) from the DHHC (Asp His His Cys) family Catalysis. The results showed that ZDHHC15 mediated palmitoylation of KIBRA up-regulated the expression of YAP downstream target genes, and regulated the invasion function of breast cancer and ovarian cancer cells. The research results will reveal new regulatory mechanisms of the Hippo pathway

Project description:The Hippo pathway is crucial in organ size control and tumorigenesis. The dys-regulation of Hippo/YAP axis is vastly observed in gastric cancer, while the effective therapeutic targets for Hippo/YAP axis are still not clear. It is important and urgent to identify reliable drug targets and the underlying mechanisms, which could inhibit the activity of Hippo/YAP axis and gastric cancer progression. In our current study, we demonstrate the membrane receptor CXCR7 (C-X-C chemokine receptor 7) is an important modulator for Hippo/YAP axis. The activation of CXCR7 could stimulate gastric cancer cell progression through Hippo/YAP axis in vitro and in vivo, while pharmaceutical inhibition of CXCR7 via ACT-1004-1239 could block the tumorigenesis in gastric cancer. Molecular studies reveal that the activation of CXCR7 could dephosphorylate YAP, facilitate YAP nuclear accumulation and transcriptional activation in gastric cancer. CXCR7 functions via G-protein Gαq/11 and Rho GTPase to activate YAP activity. Interestingly, ChIP assay shows that YAP could bind to the promoter region of CXCR7 and facilitate its gene transcription, which indicates CXCR7 is both the upstream signaling and downstream target for Hippo/YAP axis in gastric cancer. In general, we identified a novel positive feedback loop between CXCR7 and Hippo/YAP axis, while blockade of CXCR7 could be a plausible strategy for gastric cancer.

Project description:Splicing dysregulations extensively occur in cancers, yet the biological consequences of such alterations are mostly undefined. Here we report that the Hippo-YAP signaling, a key pathway that regulates cell proliferation and organ size, is under control of a new splicing switch. We show that TEAD4, the transcription factor that mediates Hippo-YAP signaling, undergoes alternative splicing facilitated by the tumor suppressor RBM4, producing a truncated isoform, TEAD4-S, which lacks N-terminal DNA-binding domain but maintains YAP-interaction domain. TEAD4-S is located in both nucleus and cytoplasm, acting as a dominant negative isoform to YAP activity. Consistently, TEAD4-S is reduced in cancer cells, and its re-expression suppresses cancer cell proliferation and migration, inhibiting tumor growth in xenograft mouse model. Furthermore, TEAD4-S is reduced in human cancers, and patients with elevated TEAD4-S levels have improved survival. Altogether these data reveal a novel RBM4-mediated splicing switch that serves to fine-tune Hippo-YAP pathway. Cell lines stably expressing YAP, YAP/TEAD4-S, YAP/TEAD4-FL, YAP/RBM4 and control vector were created, and the total RNA was purified from the cells using TRIzol reagents. The polyadenylated RNAs were purified for construction of sequencing library using kapa TruSeq Total RNA Sample Prep kits (UNC High Throughput Sequencing Facility).
