The Hippo pathway: an emerging role in urologic cancers.

TLDR
The Hippo pathway core kinases MST1/2 and LATS 1/2 in mammals phosphorylate and inactivate YAP1 signaling to prevent cancer growth.
Abstract
The Hippo pathway controls several biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, motility, stemness, cell contact, immune cell maturation, organ size, and tumorigenesis. The Hippo pathway core kinases MST1/2 and LATS1/2 in mammals phosphorylate and inactivate YAP1 signaling. Increasing evidence indicates that loss of MST1/2 and LATS1/2 function is linked to the biology of many cancer types with poorer outcomes, likely due to the activation of oncogenic YAP1/TEAD signaling. Therefore, there is a renewed interest in blocking the YAP1/TEAD functions to prevent cancer growth. This review introduces the Hippo pathway components and examines their role and therapeutic potentials in prostate, kidney, and bladder cancer.

Molecular profiling stratifies diverse phenotypes of treatment-refractory metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer

TL;DR: Deep phenotypic characterization of CRPC metastases and patient-derived xenograft lines using whole genome RNA sequencing, gene set enrichment analysis and immunohistochemistry revealed five mCRPC phenotypes based on the expression of well-characterized androgen receptor (AR) or neuroendocrine (NE) genes, highlighting the central role of AR and REST in classifying treatment-resistant mCR PC phenotypes.

Specific miRNA signatures are associated with metastasis and poor prognosis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

TL;DR: It seems possible to use miRNAs for prediction of progression to distant metastasis and prognosis analysing the primary tumour, and correlations between expression levels of specific mi RNAs with progression-free survival and overall survival are found.
