Abstract
Deregulation of the Hippo pathway is a driver for cancer progression and treatment resistance. In the context of gastric cancer, YAP1 is a biomarker for poor patient prognosis. Although genomic tumor profiling provides information of Hippo pathway activation, the present study demonstrates that inhibition of Yap1 activity has anti-tumor effects in gastric tumors driven by oncogenic mutations and inflammatory cytokines. We show that Yap1 is a key regulator of cell metabolism, proliferation, and immune responses in normal and neoplastic gastric epithelium. We propose that the Hippo pathway is targetable across gastric cancer subtypes and its therapeutic benefits are likely to be mediated by both cancer cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic mechanisms.
