https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Everolimus(RAD001).html The Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved signaling pathway involved in a broad spectrum of biological processes, including tumorigenesis. Whilst aberrant Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling is frequently reported in various cancers, the genetic alterations of this pathway are relatively rare, suggesting regulation at the post-transcriptional level. MicroRNAs play key role in tumorigenesis by regulating gene expression post-transcriptionally. Amongst the cancer-relevant microRNAs, miR-582-5p suppresses cell growth and tumorigenesis by inhibiting the expression of oncogenes, including AKT3, MAP3K2 and NOTCH1. Given the oncogenic role of YAP/TAZ in solid tumors, we scrutinized the possible interplay between miR-582-5p and Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling. Correlation analysis in NSCLC cells revealed a positive relationship between the expression of mature miR-582-5p and the proportion of phosphorylated YAP/TAZ. Intriguingly, YAP/TAZ knockdown reduced the expression of mature miR-582-5p but increased that of primary miR-582. Overexpression of miR-582-5p resulted in increased phosphorylation of YAP/TAZ with a concomitant reduction in cell proliferation and enhanced apoptosis. Mechanistically, we find that miR-582-5p targets actin regulators NCKAP1 and PIP5K1C, which may be responsible for the observed alteration in F-actin, known to modulate YAP/TAZ. We postulate that regulation of the actin cytoskeleton by miR-582-5p may attenuate YAP/TAZ activity. Altogether, this study reveals a novel mechanism of YAP/TAZ regulation by miR-582-5p in a cytoskeleton-dependent manner and suggests a negative feedback loop, highlighting the therapeutic potential of restoring miR-582-5p expression in treating NSCLC.The Italian "Marrone di Roccadaspide" (Castanea sativa), a labeled Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) product, represents an important economic resource for the Italian market.
