YAP and endothelin-1 signaling: an emerging alliance in cancer
The rational making the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) the centerpiece of targeted therapies is fueled by the awareness that GPCR-initiated signaling acts as pivotal driver of the early stages of progression in a broad landscape of human malignancies.

Yes-associated protein (YAP) signaling regulates lipopolysaccharide-induced tissue factor expression in human endothelial cells [PDF]
Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by fibrin deposition, which indicates the local activation of coagulation. Tissue factor (TF), expressed in the pulmonary microvasculature, acts as a critical initiator of blood coagulation and ALI in sepsis.

YAP manipulates proliferation via PTEN/AKT/mTOR-mediated autophagy in lung adenocarcinomas
Background Autophagy is a double-edged sword during the initiation and progression of multiple tumors. The Hippo pathway effector YAP has been proved to be involved in autophagy processes.

C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory marker and risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. However, the mechanism through which CRP induces myocardial damage remains unclear. This study aimed to determine how CRP damages cardiomyocytes via the change of mitochondrial dynamics and whether survivin, an anti-apoptotic protein ...

BNIP‐2 Activation of Cellular Contractility Inactivates YAP for H9c2 Cardiomyoblast Differentiation
Rho GTPases and Hippo kinases are key regulators of cardiomyoblast differentiation. However, how these signaling axes are coordinated spatiotemporally remains unclear. Here, the central and multifaceted roles of the BCH domain containing protein, BNIP‐2,

A novel protein encoded by a circular RNA circPPP1R12A promotes tumor pathogenesis and metastasis of colon cancer via Hippo-YAP signaling [PDF]
Abstract Background It has been well established that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an important regulatory role during tumor progression. Recent studies have indicated that even though circRNAs generally regulate gene expression through miRNA sponges, they may encode small peptides in tumor pathogenesis.

Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Promote YAP/TAZ Nuclear Localization in Alveolar Epithelial Type II Cells
We investigated roles of Hippo signaling pathway components in alveolar type II cells (AECII) after zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZnONP) exposure. ZnONPs physicochemistry was characterized using field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy ...
