The Hippo tumor suppressor pathway: a brainstorming workshop.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Researchers from around the world met for two days in April this year in Rome, Italy, to discuss progress in the rapidly developing field of Hippo signaling, which is relevant to cancer and the control of organ size. Most of the participants presented data related to previously uncharacterized proteins that physically and functionally interact with known components of the Hippo pathway and regulate its biological output.

Alcohol Interacts with Genetic Alteration of the Hippo Tumor Suppressor Pathway to Modulate Tissue Growth in Drosophila
Alcohol-mediated cancers represent more than 3.5% of cancer-related deaths, yet how alcohol promotes cancer is a major open question. Using Drosophila, we identified novel interactions between dietary ethanol and loss of tumor suppressor components of the Hippo Pathway. The Hippo Pathway suppresses tumors in flies and mammals by inactivating transcriptional co-activator Yorkie, and the spectrum...
متن کاملMolecular Pathways: Hippo Signaling, a Critical Tumor Suppressor.
The Salvador-Warts-Hippo pathway controls cell fate and tissue growth. The main function of the Hippo pathway is to prevent YAP and TAZ translocation to the nucleus where they induce the transcription of genes involved in cell proliferation, survival, and stem cell maintenance. Hippo signaling is, thus, a complex tumor suppressor, and its deregulation is a key feature in many cancers. Recent mo...
متن کاملThe Hippo signaling pathway in liver regeneration and tumorigenesis.
The Hippo signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved signaling module that plays critical roles in liver size control and tumorigenesis. The Hippo pathway consists of a core kinase cascade in which the mammalian Ste20-like kinases (Mst1/2, orthologs of Drosophila Hippo) and their cofactor Salvador (Sav1) form a complex to phosphorylate and activate the large tumor suppressor (Lats1/2). La...
متن کاملThe Fat Cadherin Acts through the Hippo Tumor-Suppressor Pathway to Regulate Tissue Size
BACKGROUND The Hippo tumor-suppressor pathway has emerged as a key signaling pathway that controls tissue size in Drosophila. Merlin, the Drosophila homolog of the human Neurofibromatosis type-2 (NF2) tumor-suppressor gene, and the related protein Expanded are the most upstream components of the Hippo pathway identified so far. However, components acting upstream of Expanded and Merlin, such as...
متن کاملMeeting report: "The 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, the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway has emerged as a complex signaling network that has significant implications for our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of cancer, development and stem cell biology (reviewed in [1-3]). The main effectors of t...
