MAGI1 inhibits the AMOTL2/p38 stress pathway and prevents luminal breast tumorigenesis

Abstract: Alterations to cell polarization or to intercellular junctions are often associated with epithelial cancer progression, including breast cancers (BCa). We show here that the loss of the junctional scaffold protein MAGI1 is associated with bad prognosis in luminal BCa, and promotes tumorigenesis. E-cadherin and the actin binding scaffold AMOTL2 accumulate in MAGI1 deficient cells which are subjected to increased stiffness. These alterations are associated with low YAP activity, the terminal Hippo-pathway effect… Show more

“…However, YAP also has some functions independent from transcription and we observed a stronger effect of YAP downregulation on adhesion sizes that on its classical target genes mRNA regulation. Maybe YAP localization in the nucleus is also to deplete it from the cytoplasm and to regulate its cytoplasmic functions as we recently described for the junctional protein MAG1 [ 59 ]. Additionally, there exists up to eight different YAP1 isoforms due to splicing and some may have different functions [ 60 ].…”

“…Primary antibodies used are listed below. Secondary Alexa Fluor Antibodies (1/600; Invitrogen) were used as described previously (Kantar et al, 2021) for 1 hour at room temperature before mounting the coverslips with Vectashield (Vector Laboratories #H-1200) and imaging on Zeiss Apotome or Leica Thunder microscopes.…”

“…A similar study that also evaluated the expression of MAGI1 in BC cell lines confirmed its tumor suppressive function and found a distinct molecular mechanism behind this effect. The study reported that loss of MAGI1 leads to cellular accumulation of E-cadherin and the actin binding scaffold AMOTL2, resulting in increased stiffness, which in turn downregulates yes-associated protein 1 (YAP) activity, the terminal Hippo-pathway effector, and increases rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) and p38 stress activated protein kinase activities [62].…”
