Inactivation of YAP oncoprotein by the Hippo pathway is involved in cell contact inhibition and tissue growth control

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in mammalian cells, the transcription coactivator YAP (Yes-associated protein), is inhibited by cell density via the Hippo pathway, and YAP overexpression regulates gene expression in a manner opposite to cell density, and is able to overcome cell contact inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI

TEAD mediates YAP-dependent gene induction and growth control

TL;DR: TEAD is revealed as a new component in the Hippo pathway playing essential roles in mediating biological functions of YAP, and is required for YAP-induced cell growth, oncogenic transformation, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic Loss of microRNA-101 Leads to Overexpression of Histone Methyltransferase EZH2 in Cancer

TL;DR: The expression and function of EZH2 in cancer cell lines are inhibited by microRNA-101 and it is proposed that the genomic loss of miR-101 in cancer leads to overexpression of EzH2 and concomitant dysregulation of epigenetic pathways, resulting in cancer progression.
