Accordingly, we tested whether the cytoplasmic tail of Fat1 interacts with Scrib- ble by co-expressing full-length Scribble with the C-terminal cytoplasmic (cyt) domain of mFat1 fused to a secreted Ig truncation and the transmembrane domain of CD7 (sIg.7). Scribble was immunoprecipitated by the sIg7.mFat1-cyt con- struct (Fig. 2A). Deletional analysis further delineated the PDZ domains of Scribble and the PDZ-binding site of mFat1 as essential interaction domains (Fig. 2 B and C). To provide further evidence of a direct interaction between Fat and Scrib- ble, we generated recombinant GST-fusion proteins of the Scribble PDZ domains and precipitated sIg7.mFat1 from lysates of transiently transfected HEK 293T cells. sIg7.mFat1-cyt was precipitated by the PDZ2–4 and PDZ3–4 of Scribble but not by the PDZ domains of Par-3 or GST alone (Fig. 2D). These results demonstrate that mFat1 interacts with the PDZ domains of Scribble, presumably PDZ domains 3 and/or 4. Unlike Drosoph- ila Fat-like protein, Drosophila Fat also contains a C-terminal PDZ-binding site (class III; EEYV). To assess whether the PDZ-binding site of Drosophila Fat interacts with Scribble, we replaced the cytoplasmic and transmembrane domain of sIg7.mFat1-cyt with the corresponding Drosophila sequences (sIg.TM.dFat).

  • Lats1/2 Regulate Yap/Taz to Control Nephron Progenitor Epithelialization and Inhibit Myofibroblast Formation
    BASIC RESEARCH www.jasn.org Lats1/2 Regulate Yap/Taz to Control Nephron Progenitor Epithelialization and Inhibit Myofibroblast Formation † † Helen McNeill* and Antoine Reginensi *Department of Molecular Genetics, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; and †Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada ABSTRACT In the kidney, formation of the functional filtration units, the nephrons, is essential for postnatal life. During development, mesenchymal progenitors tightly regulate the balance between self-renewal and differentia- tion to give rise to all nephron epithelia. Here, we investigated the functions of the Hippo pathway serine/ threonine-protein kinases Lats1 and Lats2, which phosphorylate and inhibit the transcriptional coactivators Yap and Taz, in nephron progenitor cells. Genetic deletion of Lats1 and Lats2 in nephron progenitors of mice led to disruption of nephrogenesis, with an accumulation of spindle-shaped cells in both cortical and medullary regions of the kidney. Lineage-tracing experiments revealed that the cells that accumulated in the interstitium derived from nephron progenitor cells and expressed E-cadherin as well as vimentin, a myofibroblastic marker not usually detected after mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition. The accumulation of these interstitial cells associated with collagen deposition and ectopic expression of the myofibroblastic markers vimentin and a-smooth-muscle actin in developing kidneys. Although these myofibroblastic cells had high Yap and Taz accumulation in the nucleus concomitant with a loss of phosphorylated Yap, reduction of Yap and/or Taz expression levels completely rescued the Lats1/2 phenotype. Taken together, our results demonstrate that Lats1/2 kinases restrict Yap/Taz activities to promote nephron progenitor cell differentiation in the mamma- lian kidney.

Chang 2 , and Anwesha Dey 1 ABSTRACT Hippo pathway dysregulation occurs in multiple cancers through genetic and non- genetic alterations, resulting in translocation of YAP to the nucleus and activation of the TEAD family of transcription factors. Unlike other oncogenic pathways such as RAS, defi ning tumors that are Hippo pathway–dependent is far more complex due to the lack of hotspot genetic alterations. Here, we developed a machine-learning framework to identify a robust, cancer type–agnostic gene expression signature to quantitate Hippo pathway activity and cross-talk as well as predict YAP/TEAD dependency across cancers. Further, through chemical genetic interaction screens and multiomics analyses, we discover a direct interaction between MAPK signaling and TEAD stability such that knockdown of YAP combined with MEK inhibition results in robust inhibition of tumor cell growth in Hippo dysregulated tumors. This multifaceted approach underscores how computational models combined with experimental studies can inform precision medicine approaches including predictive diagnostics and combination strategies. SIGNIFICANCE: An integrated chemicogenomics strategy was developed to identify a lineage- independent signature for the Hippo pathway in cancers.

The tissue expression and developmental changes of the Scribble protein complex genes were documented using qRT-RCR method. The Lgl and Scrib genes could be detected in all the experimental tissues, including fat body, midgut, testis/ovary, wingdisc, trachea, malpighian tubule, hemolymph, prothoracic gland and silk gland. The Dlg gene, mainly expressed only in testis/ovary, could not be detected in prothoracic gland and hemolymph. In fat body, there were two higher expression stages of the three genes.

In this paper, the essential oil from Pinus koraiensis pinecones (PEO) was obtained by hydrodistillation and 41 compounds were identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), mainly including α-Pinene (40.91%), Limonene (24.82%), and β-Pinene (7.04%). The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-tumor activity of PEO on MGC-803 cells and its mechanism. Anti-tumor experiments in vitro showed PEO could significantly inhibit the proliferation and migration of MGC-803 cells, and it also could arrest the cell cycle in the G2/M phase, decrease the mitochondrial membrane potential, and induce apoptosis. Finally, the effects of PEO on genes expression on MGC-803 cells were analyzed by RNA sequencing, and results showed that after treatment with PEO, 100 genes were up-regulated, and 57 genes were down-regulated. According to the KEGG pathway and GSEA, FAT4, STK3, LATS2, YAP1, and AJUBA were down-regulated, which were related to HIPPO signaling pathway.
