Article Abstract
Adaptation of cardiac muscle to regular exercise results in morphological and structural changes known as physiological cardiac hypertrophy, to which the Hippo signaling pathway might have contributed. Two major terminal effectors in the Hippo signaling pathway are Yes-associated protein (YAP) and its homolog transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ). The latest studies have reported the role of YAP and TAZ in different life stages, such as in fetal, neonatal, and adult hearts. Their regulation might involve several mechanisms and effectors. One of the possible coregulators is exercise. Exercise plays a role in cardiomyocyte hypertrophic changes during different stages of life, including in aged hearts. YAP/TAZ signaling pathway has a role in physiological cardiac hypertrophy induced by exercise and is associated with cardiac remodelling. Thus, it can be believed that exercise has roles in activating the signaling pathway of YAP and TAZ in aged cardiomyocytes. However, the studies regarding the roles of YAP and TAZ during cardiomyocyte aging are limited. The primary purpose of this review is to explore the response of cardiovascular aging to exercise via signaling pathway of YAP and TAZ.

The increased presence of goblet epithelial cells in conducting airways of the respiratory system is common in pulmonary disorders and is often accompanied by disrupted immune and alveolar responses. Signaling effectors that restrict goblet cell production include YAP and TAZ, transcriptional regulators of Hippo signaling, which repress goblet cell differentiation in the airway epithelium. Here, we investigated the acute responses to goblet cell metaplasia that are induced by the conditional loss of YAP/TAZ in club epithelial cells of adult mouse lungs.

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.

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.

Background: In surviving renal proximal tubule cells (RPTCs) following acute kidney injury (AKI), the induction of SOX9 expression plays a crucial role in promoting kidney repair. However, persistent upregulation of SOX9 in RPTCs contributes to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The molecular mechanisms underlying SOX9 induction in response to kidney injury are not completely understood.
