摘要:

Hippo信号通路是调控器官大小和肿瘤发生发展的关键通路,近年来受到广泛的关注。TAZ/YAP作为哺乳动物中Hippo信号通路两个核心下游效应分子,通过Hippo信号通路依赖性和非依赖性的机制受到细胞内外信号的严密调控。除了参与正常乳腺组织发育,Hippo信号通路还在人乳腺癌细胞的增殖、分化、凋亡、迁移、侵袭、上皮-间质转化和干性维持等多个过程中起着关键性作用。本文总结了Hippo信号通路的调控机制和调节信号,阐述了Hippo信号通路异常在乳腺癌发生发展中的作用,并讨论了其在乳腺癌中作为治疗靶点的临床策略。

Abstract:

Hippo signaling pathway has attracted broad attention due to its essential roles in controlling organ size and tumorigenesis. TAZ/YAP, two core downstream molecules of the Hippo signaling pathway in mammals, are tightly regulated by a wide range of extracellular and intrinsic signals in both Hippo signaling pathway-dependent and -independent manners. Besides their roles in the development and function of normal mammary glands, TAZ/YAP display remarkable potency and relevance to multiple aspects of human breast carcinogenesis, including cellular proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and stemness. In this review, we summarize the regulators of TAZ/YAP, discuss the significant contribution of the Hippo signaling pathway to human breast cancers and highlight their potential therapeutic roles.

Key words: TAZ/YAP, Hippo signaling pathway, breast cancer
