As an evolutionarily conserved signalling network, the Hippo pathway plays a crucial role in the regulation of numerous biological processes. Thus, substantial efforts have been made to understand the upstream signals that influence the activity of the Hippo pathway, as well as its physiological functions, such as cell proliferation and differentiation, organ growth, embryogenesis, and tissue regeneration/wound healing. However, dysregulation of the Hippo pathway can cause a variety of diseases, including cancer, eye diseases, cardiac diseases, pulmonary diseases, renal diseases, hepatic diseases, and immune dysfunction. Therefore, therapeutic strategies that target dysregulated Hippo components might be promising approaches for the treatment of a wide spectrum of diseases. Here, we review the key components and upstream signals of the Hippo pathway, as well as the critical physiological functions controlled by the Hippo pathway. Additionally, diseases associated with alterations in the Hippo pathway and potential therapies targeting Hippo components will be discussed.
作为一个进化上保守的信号网络,Hippo 通路在调节许多生物过程中起着至关重要的作用。因此,人们做出了巨大的努力来理解影响 Hippo 通路活性的上游信号及其生理功能,如细胞增殖和分化、器官生长、胚胎发生和组织再生/伤口愈合。然而,Hippo 通路的失调会导致多种疾病,包括癌症、眼部疾病、心脏疾病、肺部疾病、肾脏疾病、肝脏疾病和免疫功能障碍。因此,针对失调的 Hippo 成分的治疗策略可能是治疗广泛疾病的有前途的方法。在这里,我们回顾了 Hippo 通路的关键组成部分和上游信号,以及 Hippo 通路控制的关键生理功能。此外,还将讨论与 Hippo 通路改变相关的疾病和针对 Hippo 成分的潜在治疗方法。
