Manner; and (iii) pan-FGFR inhibition causes cell death in vitro and in vivo in YAP-positive CCA cell lines and tumors, most likely on account of cellular Mcl-1 depletion. These findings are discussed in detail beneath. The oncogenic role from the Hippo pathway has generated considerable interest (11, 12). The core components of this pathway include an upstream kinase module, which is tumor-suppressive, and also a downstream transcriptional module, that is oncogenic (11). Inhibition in the kinase module final results in hypophosphorylation of YAP and TAZ, facilitating their nuclear translocation and subsequent induction of target gene expression (six, 11, 12). The presence of nuclear YAP in human cell lines suggests that the kinase module is inactivated in this cancer. In contrast to other oncogenic signaling pathways, there is a paucity of germ line and somatic mutations identified in core Hippo pathway elements in popular malignancies (11, 41). In addition, the Hippo pathway will not have a exclusive extracellular ligand or perhaps a dedicated plasma membrane receptor. For that reason, it has been postulated that Hippo pathway deregulation inFIGURE 6. BGJ398 induces cell death in CCA cells by means of Mcl-1 inhibition.
