Abstract
Abstract The Hippo pathway is crucial in organ size control and its dysregulation contributes to tumorigenesis. Core components of the Hippo pathway include the protein kinases of MST1/2, MAP4Ks, LATS1/2, the transcription co-activators YAP/TAZ, and their DNA binding partners TEADs. LATS phosphorylates YAP/TAZ to promote cytoplasmic localization and degradation, thereby inhibiting YAP/TAZ and cell growth. The Hippo pathway is regulated by a wide range of signals, including cell density, GPCR, cellular energy levels, and mechanical cues. We will present our recent progresses on Hippo pathway regulation and its role in cancer. The emerging role of the Hippo pathway in tumorigenesis suggests the potential therapeutic value of targeting this pathway for cancer treatment. Citation Format: Kun-Liang Guan.
