Organ Size Control by Hippo and TOR Pathways
The determination of final organ size is a highly coordinated and complex process that relies on the precise regulation of cell number and/or cell size. Perturbation of organ size control contributes to many human diseases, including hypertrophy, degenerative diseases, and cancer. Hippo and TOR are among the key signaling pathways involved in the regulation of organ size through their respectiv...
متن کاملMerlin in organ size control and tumorigenesis: Hippo versus EGFR?
The role of the NF2 gene as a tumor suppressor has been well established. In this issue of Genes & Development, Benhamouche and colleagues (pp. 1718-1730) demonstrate that NF2 is also involved in the regulation of organ size control in mammals. Conditional knockout of Nf2 in the mouse liver results in massive organ enlargement and eventual tumor development, which is attributed to the specific ...
متن کاملHippo Pathway in Organ Size Control, Tissue Homeostasis, and Cancer
Two decades of studies in multiple model organisms have established the Hippo pathway as a key regulator of organ size and tissue homeostasis. By inhibiting YAP and TAZ transcription co-activators, the Hippo pathway regulates cell proliferation, apoptosis, and stemness in response to a wide range of extracellular and intracellular signals, including cell-cell contact, cell polarity, mechanical ...
متن کاملThe hippo tumor suppressor network: from organ size control to stem cells and cancer.
The third meeting on the Hippo pathway was held as a Keystone Symposia Conference last May in Monterrey, California. Over the past several years, theHippo tumor suppressor pathway has emerged as a complex signaling network that has significant implications for our understanding of themolecular mechanisms of cancer, development, and stem cell biology (reviewed in refs. 1–3). The main effectors o...
متن کاملThe Hippo-YAP pathway in organ size control and tumorigenesis: an updated version.
The Hippo signaling pathway is gaining recognition as an important player in both organ size control and tumorigenesis, which are physiological and pathological processes that share common cellular signaling mechanisms. Upon activation by stimuli such as high cell density in cell culture, the Hippo pathway kinase cascade phosphorylates and inhibits the Yes-associated protein (YAP)/TAZ transcrip...
