Abstract

The Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved signaling pathway involved in a broad spectrum of biological processes, including tumorigenesis. Whilst aberrant Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling is frequently reported in various cancers, the genetic alterations of this pathway are relatively rare, suggesting regulation at the post-transcriptional level. MicroRNAs play key role in tumorigenesis by regulating gene expression post-transcriptionally. Amongst the cancer-relevant microRNAs, miR-582-5p suppresses cell growth and tumorigenesis by inhibiting the expression of oncogenes, including AKT3, MAP3K2 and NOTCH1. Given the oncogenic role of YAP/TAZ in solid tumors, we scrutinized the possible interplay between miR-582-5p and Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling. Correlation analysis in NSCLC cells revealed a positive relationship between the expression of mature miR-582-5p and the proportion of phosphorylated YAP/TAZ. Intriguingly, YAP/TAZ knockdown reduced the expression of mature miR-582-5p but increased that of primary miR-582. Overexpression of miR-582-5p resulted in increased phosphorylation of YAP/TAZ with a concomitant reduction in cell proliferation and enhanced apoptosis. Mechanistically, we find that miR-582-5p targets actin regulators NCKAP1 and PIP5K1C, which may be responsible for the observed alteration in F-actin, known to modulate YAP/TAZ. We postulate that regulation of the actin cytoskeleton by miR-582-5p may attenuate YAP/TAZ activity. Altogether, this study reveals a novel mechanism of YAP/TAZ regulation by miR-582-5p in a cytoskeleton-dependent manner and suggests a negative feedback loop, highlighting the therapeutic potential of restoring miR-582-5p expression in treating NSCLC.

摘要

河马-YAP/TAZ信号通路是一条在进化上保守的信号通路,参与包括肿瘤发生在内的广泛生物学过程。虽然在各种癌症中经常报道河马-YAP/TAZ信号异常,但该通路的基因改变相对罕见,提示其在转录后水平受到调控。微小RNA通过转录后调控基因表达在肿瘤发生中起关键作用。在与癌症相关的微小RNA中,miR-582-5p通过抑制包括AKT3、MAP3K2和NOTCH1在内的癌基因表达来抑制细胞生长和肿瘤发生。鉴于YAP/TAZ在实体瘤中的致癌作用,我们仔细研究了miR-582-5p与河马-YAP/TAZ信号之间可能的相互作用。非小细胞肺癌细胞中的相关性分析显示,成熟miR-582-5p的表达与磷酸化YAP/TAZ的比例呈正相关。有趣的是,敲低YAP/TAZ可降低成熟miR-582-5p的表达,但增加初级miR-582的表达。过表达miR-582-5p导致YAP/TAZ磷酸化增加,同时细胞增殖减少,凋亡增强。机制上,我们发现miR-582-5p靶向肌动蛋白调节因子NCKAP1和PIP5K1C,这可能是观察到的F-肌动蛋白改变的原因,已知F-肌动蛋白可调节YAP/TAZ。我们推测,miR-582-5p对肌动蛋白细胞骨架的调节可能减弱YAP/TAZ活性。总之,本研究揭示了miR-582-5p以细胞骨架依赖的方式调节YAP/TAZ的新机制,并提示了一个负反馈环,突出了恢复miR-582-5p表达在治疗非小细胞肺癌中的治疗潜力。
