Article Abstract

Inhibitors of the Hippo signaling pathway have been demonstrated to have a potential clinical application in cases such as tissue repair and organ regeneration. However, there is a lack of potent Hippo pathway inhibitors at present. Herein we report the discovery of a series of 1,8-disubstituted-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]quinoline derivatives as a new class of Hippo pathway inhibitors by utilizing a cell line-based screening model (A549-CTGF). Structure-activity relationship (SAR) of these compounds was also discussed. The most potent compound in the A549-CTGF cell assay, 11g, was then evaluated by real-time PCR and immunofluorescence assays. Overall, this study provides a starting point for later drug discovery targeting the Hippo signaling pathway.

Allergic diseases, characterized by complex pathological mechanisms involving immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation, impose a substantial burden on global health. The Hippo signaling pathway, a highly conserved regulator of cell proliferation, apoptosis, immune homeostasis, and tissue repair, has recently emerged as a pivotal player in allergic disease pathogenesis. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the core components and physiological functions of the Hippo pathway, elucidates its mechanistic roles in major allergic disorders-including allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and food allergies-and evaluates the therapeutic potential of targeting this pathway.

YAP/TAZ are transcriptional co-activators that pair with transcription factor TEA/ATTS domains (TEADs) for modulating the Hippo pathway. Previous works propose the potential role of YAP/TAZ phase separation for transcriptional activation, yet the biomolecular basis of endogenous YAP/TAZ-TEAD condensates remains unclear. Here, we dissect their endogenous morphology, revealing that YAP/TAZ are client proteins recruited to TEAD condensates in various human cell lines.

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is regarded as one of the most serious infectious diseases and a significant global public health concern. Although the neonatal vaccine has been effective in impeding the transmission of HBV, tens of millions of HBV patients are still vulnerable to liver disease and even hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this research, we demonstrated that HBV-encoded circRNA, designated as HBV-circRNA-5, was involved in the tumorigenesis of HCC.

Hippo signaling is a conserved regulator of tissue homeostasis across metazoans. The Ste20 family kinase Hippo/MST activates the NDR family kinase Warts/LATS to inhibit the transcriptional coactivator Yorkie/YAP/TAZ and its transcription factor partner Scalloped/TEAD. In , cell lineages and organ sizes are largely invariant, and classical Hippo phenotypes such as tissue overgrowth are absent.
