    Abstract The Hippo signalling pathway is a master regulator of cell growth, proliferation, and cancer. The transcriptional coregulators of the Hippo pathway, YAP and TAZ, are central in various cancers. However, how YAP and TAZ get activated in most types of cancers is not well understood. Here, we show that androgens activate YAP/TAZ via the androgen receptor (AR) in prostate cancer (PCa), and that this activation is differential. AR regulates YAP translation while inducing transcription of the TAZ encoding gene,

    Abstract The ever-increasing applications of metabarcoding analyses for environmental samples demand a well-designed assessment of the stability of DNA and RNA contained in cells that are deposited or buried in marine sediments. We thus conducted a qPCR quantification of the DNA and RNA in the vegetative cells of three microalgae entrapped in facsimile marine sediments and found that >90% of DNA and up to 99% of RNA for all microalgal species were degraded within 60 days at 4 °C. A further examination of the potential interference of the relic DNA of the vegetative cells with resting cyst detection in sediments was performed via a metabarcoding analysis in artificial marine sediments spiked with the vegetative cells of two Kareniaceae dinoflagellates and the resting cysts of another three dinoflagellates. The results demonstrated a dramatic decrease in the relative abundances of the two Kareniaceae dinoflagellates in 120 days, while those of the three resting cysts increased dramatically. Together, our results suggest that a positive detection of microalgae via metabarcoding analysis in DNA or RNA extracted from marine sediments strongly indicates the presence of intact or viable cysts or spores due to the rapid decay of relic DNA/RNA. This study provides a solid basis for the data interpretation of metabarcoding surveys, particularly in resting cyst detection.

    Abstract Motivation: Disrupted
    Results: Our detailed evolutionary analysis of PERCC1 sequence reveals it to be a previously unappreciated member of the YAP/TAZ/FAM181 family of homologous transcriptional regulators. Like YAP and TAZ, PERCC1 likely interacts with DNA via binding to TEA/ATTS domain transcription factors (TEADs) using its conserved interface-2 and -3 sequences. We compare the expression patterns of

    Abstract Cells need to rapidly and precisely react to multiple mechanical and chemical stimuli in order to ensure precise context-dependent responses. This requires dynamic cellular signalling events that ensure homeostasis and plasticity when needed. A less well-understood process is cellular response to elevated interstitial fluid pressure, where the cell senses and responds to changes in extracellular hydrostatic pressure. Here, using quantitative label-free digital holographic imaging, combined with genome editing, biochemical assays and confocal imaging, we analyse the temporal cellular response to hydrostatic pressure. Upon elevated cyclic hydrostatic pressure, the cell responds by rapid, dramatic and reversible changes in cellular volume. We show that YAP and TAZ, the co-transcriptional regulators of the Hippo signalling pathway, control cell volume and that cells without YAP and TAZ have lower plasma membrane tension. We present direct evidence that YAP/TAZ drive the cellular response to hydrostatic pressure, a process that is at least partly mediated via clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Additionally, upon elevated oscillating hydrostatic pressure, YAP/TAZ are activated and induce TEAD-mediated transcription and expression of cellular components involved in dynamic regulation of cell volume and extracellular matrix. This cellular response confers a feedback loop that allows the cell to robustly respond to changes in interstitial fluid pressure.

    Abstract The Hippo signalling pathway is dysregulated across a wide range of cancer types and, although driver mutations that directly affect the core Hippo components are rare, a handful is found within pleural mesothelioma (PM). PM is a deadly disease of the lining of the lung caused by asbestos exposure. By pooling the largest-scale clinical datasets publicly available, we here interrogate associations between the most prevalent driver mutations within PM and Hippo pathway disruption in patients, while assessing correlations with a variety of clinical markers. This analysis reveals a consistent worse outcome in patients exhibiting transcriptional markers of YAP/TAZ activation, pointing to the potential of leveraging Hippo pathway transcriptional activation status as a metric by which patients may be meaningfully stratified. Preclinical models recapitulating disease are transformative in order to develop new therapeutic strategies. We here establish an isogenic cell-line model of PM, which represents the most frequently mutated genes and which faithfully recapitulates the molecular features of clinical PM. This preclinical model is developed to probe the molecular basis by which the Hippo pathway and key driver mutations affect cancer initiation and progression. Implementing this approach, we reveal the role of NF2 as a mechanosensory component of the Hippo pathway in mesothelial cells. Cellular NF2 loss upon physiological stiffnesses analogous to the tumour niche drive YAP/TAZ-dependent anchorage-independent growth. Consequently, the development and characterisation of this cellular model provide a unique resource to obtain molecular insights into the disease and progress new drug discovery programs together with future stratification of PM patients.
