Hippo Signaling in the Ovary: Emerging Roles in Development, Fertility, and Disease

Abstract: Emerging studies indicate that the Hippo pathway, a highly conserved pathway that regulates organ size control, plays an important role in governing ovarian physiology, fertility, and pathology. Specific to the ovary, the spatiotemporal expression of the major components of the Hippo signaling cascade are observed throughout the reproductive lifespan. Observations from multiple species begin to elucidate the functional diversity and molecular mechanisms of Hippo signaling in the ovary in addition to the identi… Show more

“…Our very recent published paper reviewed that the highly conserved Hippo pathway, especially its downstream effector YAP1, plays a critical role in governing ovarian physiology, fertility, and pathology [ 22 ]. Similar with the subfertile phenotype observed in Fhl2 KO mice, our previous study proved that Foxl2 promoter-driven knockout of Yap1 in ovarian GCs also increased GCs apoptosis, disrupted follicular development and impaired fertility [ 23 ].…”

“…[52] The transcriptional co-activator YAP1 is a primary downstream effector of the cascade. [52] Its activity is regulated by upstream regulators MST2 and TEAD4, [53] which ultimately govern cell fate, growth, and proliferation. [54,55] Here, we observed the upregulation of YAP1, MST2, and TEAD4 mRNA transcripts in COCs matured in vitro in the bilayer hydrogel system compared to the 2D Control (Figure 6C; p < 0.05).…”

“…The Hippo pathway is mediated by the phosphorylation of the mammalian sterile 20-related kinases 1 and 2 (Mst1/2), which activate the large tumor suppressor kinases 1 and 2 (Lats1/2). The latter, phosphorylate the translation activators YAP-1 and TAZ, which thus remain outside the nucleus and are degraded in the cytoplasm [ 46 , 47 , 48 ]. Hippo is inhibited during ovarian stimulation through cytoskeletal reorganization, extracellular matrix stiffness, ovarian fragmentation, and the activation of G protein-coupled receptors, integrins, or growth factors [ 46 , 49 ].…”

Hippo is inhibited during ovarian stimulation through cytoskeletal reorganization, extracellular matrix stiffness, ovarian fragmentation, and the activation of G protein-coupled receptors, integrins, or growth factors [ 46 , 49 ]. Thus, the unphosphorylated YAP-1 and TAZ activators freely enter the nucleus, form complexes with TEA domain family member transcription factors (TEADs), and further stimulate the transcription of proliferation-related and growth factor genes [ 47 , 48 , 50 ].…”
