Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized for their role in cancer progression. The previously uncharacterized lncRNA MAYA is now shown to promote bone metastasis by bridging ROR1-HER3 and Hippo-YAP pathways. Neuregulin-induced HER3 phosphorylation by ROR1 recruits a MAYA-containing protein complex to methylate Hippo/MST1 and activate YAP target genes that are essential for bone metastasis.
长非编码 RNA(lncRNA)在癌症进展中的作用越来越受到重视。以前未被描述的 lncRNA MAYA 通过桥接 ROR1-HER3 和 Hippo-YAP 通路,现在被证明可以促进骨转移。ROR1 诱导的神经调节素诱导的 HER3 磷酸化募集包含 MAYA 的蛋白复合物,使 Hippo/MST1 甲基化,并激活 YAP 靶基因,这些基因对骨转移至关重要。
