The Hippo signaling pathway and its two downstream effectors, the YAP TAZ transcriptional coactivators, are drivers of tumor growth in experimental models. Studying mouse models, we show that can also exert a tumor-suppressive function. We found normal hepatocytes surrounding liver tumors displayed activation deletion Yap Taz these peritumoral accelerated growth. Conversely, hyperactivation triggered regression primary melanoma-derived metastases. Furthermore, whereas cells growing wild-type...
The Hippo signaling pathway is widely considered a master regulator of organ growth because the prominent overgrowth phenotypes caused by experimental manipulation its activity. Contrary to this model, we show here that removing transcriptional output did not impair ability mouse liver and Drosophila eyes grow their normal size. Moreover, activity effectors Yap/Taz/Yki correlate with cell proliferation, hyperactivation these induced gene expression programs recapitulate development....
Background and AimsThe Hippo pathway its downstream effectors YAP TAZ (YAP/TAZ) are heralded as important regulators of organ growth regeneration. However, different studies provided contradictory conclusions about their role during regeneration organs, ranging from promoting proliferation to inhibiting it. Here we resolve the function YAP/TAZ liver, where Hippo's in control has been studied most intensely.MethodsWe evaluated liver after carbon tetrachloride toxic injury mice with...
Abstract The Hippo pathway and its downstream effectors, the YAP TAZ transcriptional coactivators, are deregulated in multiple different types of human cancer required for cell phenotypes vitro vivo, while largely dispensable tissue homeostasis adult mice. YAP/TAZ their main partner transcription factors, TEAD1–4 therefore promising anticancer targets. Because frequent hyperactivation caused by mutations components NF2 LATS2, mesothelioma is one prime predicted to be responsive YAP/TAZ-TEAD...
Significance The Hippo pathway is an important regulator of animal growth, and its effector, Yorkie (in flies) or YAP/TAZ mammals), drives the expression genes needed for cell proliferation survival. In effort to identify new regulators Yorkie, we performed a genetic modifier screen in Drosophila . this screen, identified RNA-binding protein Hrb27C as positive activity that modulates phosphorylation status. Additional experiments interacting proteins Glorund, Halfpint, Squid, Pabp2 negative...
Abstract Objective. Most current algorithms for detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) rely on heart rate variability (HRV), and only a few studies analyse the of photopletysmography (PPG) waveform. This study aimed to compare morphological features PPG curve in patients with AF those presenting normal sinus rhythm (NSR) evaluate their usefulness detection. Approach. 10 min signals were obtained from persistent/paroxysmal NSR. Nine parameters (1/Δ T ), Pulse Width [PW], augmentation index [AI],...
