: Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) function as effectors in the Hippo pathway and have attracted attention due to their association with tumor formation. Glucose transporter (GLUT) proteins also contribute to the proliferation of cancer cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of YAP/TAZ on GLUT1 expression in endometrial carcinoma, as well as the clinical relevance and prognostic value of YAP/TAZ. : The effects of YAP and TAZ knockdown and YAP overexpression on GLUT1 expression in human endometrial carcinoma-derived HHUA and Ishikawa cells were evaluated using RT-qPCR. In addition, we performed immunohistochemical expression of 100 tissue samples of diagnosed endometrial carcinoma. Based on staining intensity and the percentage of positively stained tumor cells, the immunoreactivity score was calculated, which ranged from 0 to 12. : YAP/TAZ were identified as important factors in the regulation of GLUT1 expression in HHUA and Ishikawa cells. In addition, a significant correlation (progression-free survival < 0.05) was observed between TAZ and GLUT1 expression in tissues from endometrial carcinoma patients, and nuclear expression of TAZ was associated with poor prognosis ( < 0.05). : YAP/TAZ promote tumor growth via GLUT1. Therapeutic targeting of YAP/TAZ could therefore be useful in the development of future treatments.
Yes相关蛋白(YAP)和具有PDZ结合基序的转录共激活因子(TAZ)作为Hippo信号通路中的效应器,因其与肿瘤形成的关联而受到关注。葡萄糖转运蛋白(GLUT)也有助于癌细胞的增殖。在本研究中,我们调查了YAP/TAZ对子宫内膜癌中GLUT1表达的影响,以及YAP/TAZ的临床相关性和预后价值。:使用RT-qPCR评估YAP和TAZ敲低以及YAP过表达对人子宫内膜癌来源的HHUA和Ishikawa细胞中GLUT1表达的影响。此外,我们对100例确诊的子宫内膜癌组织样本进行了免疫组化表达分析。根据染色强度和阳性染色肿瘤细胞的百分比计算免疫反应性评分,范围为0至12。:YAP/TAZ被确定为HHUA和Ishikawa细胞中GLUT1表达调控的重要因素。此外,在子宫内膜癌患者组织中观察到TAZ与GLUT1表达之间存在显著相关性(无进展生存期<0.05),并且TAZ的核表达与不良预后相关(<0.05)。:YAP/TAZ通过GLUT1促进肿瘤生长。因此,对YAP/TAZ进行治疗靶向可能有助于未来治疗方法的开发。
