Gq/G11 oncogenic mutations promote PD-L1 expression and suppress tumor immunity. (PubMed, Eur J Cell Biol)
Furthermore, silencing YAP or treating with its inhibitor, Verteporfin, attenuated PD-L1 expression induced by Gq/G11 mutations, thereby enhancing T cell activation and T cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Collectively, this study reveals a potential role of Gq/G11 mutations on immune evasion of UM, a new mechanism of Gq/11 mutations-induced tumorigenesis, highlighting Gq/G11 and YAP as potential immunotherapeutic targets and suggesting Verteporfin as an adjuvant for immunotherapy of UM patients with GNAQ or GNA11 mutations.

Drug repositioning identifies potential autophagy inhibitors for the LIR motif p62/SQSTM1 protein. (PubMed, Comput Biol Chem)
The results revealed that the kanamycin, velpatasvir, verteporfin, and temoporfin significantly decreased the binding of LIR to the p62 protein. Finally, we experimentally confirmed that Kanamycin can inhibit autophagy-associated acidic vesicular formation in breast cancer MCF-7 and MDA-MB 231 cells. These repositioned drugs may represent novel autophagy modulators in clinical management, warranting further investigation.

IL-32 aggravates metabolic disturbance in human nucleus pulposus cells by activating FAT4-mediated Hippo/YAP signaling. (PubMed, Int Immunopharmacol)
Lentivirus overexpressing IL-32 or knocking down Fat atypical cadherin 4 (FAT4), yes-associated protein (YAP) inhibitor-Verteporfin (VP) were used to treat human NP cells, to explore the pathogenesis of IL-32...Mechanistically, the elevation of IL-32 in the inflammatory microenvironment enhanced its interactions with FAT4 and mammalian sterile 20-like kinase1/2 (MST1/2) proteins, prompting MST1/2 phosphorylation, and activating the Hippo/YAP signaling pathway, causing matrix metabolism disorder in NP cells. Our results suggest that IL-32 mediates matrix metabolism disorders in NP cells in the inflammatory micro-environment via the FAT4/MST/YAP axis, providing a theoretical basis for the precise treatment of IDD.

Adaptor protein CEMIP reduces the chemosensitivity of small cell lung cancer via activation of an SRC-YAP oncogenic module. (PubMed, Acta Pharmacol Sin)
Through the GDSC database, we found that CEMIP expression levels were positively correlated with the IC50 values of several commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs in SCLC cells (cisplatin, gemcitabine, 5-fluorouracil and cyclophosphamide). The combination of the SRC inhibitor dasatinib or the YAP inhibitor verteporfin and cisplatin/etoposide (EP regimen) displayed excellent synergistic antitumor effects on SCLC both in vitro and in vivo. This study demonstrated that targeted therapy against the CEMIP/SRC/YAP complex is a potential strategy for SCLC and provides a rationale for the development of future clinical trials with translational prospects.

A Physiochemical, In Vitro, and In Vivo Comparative Analysis of Verteporfin-Lipid Conjugate Formulations: Solid Lipid Nanoparticles and Liposomes. (PubMed, ACS Appl Bio Mater)
In this study, we prepared 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC)-based solid lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) that stably entrap BPD-PC, which resemble the composition of the SpikevaxⓇ Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, and compared them to a DPPC based liposomal formulation (Lipo BPD-PC). In vivo studies revealed that CT1BA5 tumor fluorescence signals from BPD-PC were 2.41-fold higher with Lipo BPD-PC than with LNP BPD-PC; however, no significant difference was observed in tumor tissue selectivity or tumor penetration. As such, we present LNP BPD-PC as a unique and more stable nanoplatform to carry BPD lipid conjugates, such as BPD-PC, with a potential for future photodynamic immune priming studies and multiagent drug delivery.

IQGAP1 overexpression attenuates chemosensitivity through YAP-mediated ferroptosis inhibition in esophageal squamous cell cancer cells. (PubMed, Arch Biochem Biophys)
However, the underlying effect and molecular mechanisms of IQGAP1 on paclitaxel (PTX) resistance and ferroptosis in ESCC remain to be elucidated...Importantly, reductions of chemosensitivity and ferroptosis caused by IQGAP1 overexpression were reversed with ferroptosis inducer RSL3, while the increases of chemosensitivity and ferroptosis caused by IQGAP1 knockdown were reversed with ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) in ESCC cells, indicating that IQGAP1 played a key role in resistance to PTX through regulating ferroptosis...YAP inhibitor Verteporfin (VP) could reverse the effects of IQGAP1 overexpression on ESCC chemoresistance and ferroptosis. Taken together, our findings suggest that IQGAP1 promotes chemoresistance by blocking ferroptosis through targeting YAP. IQGAP1 may be a novel therapeutic target for overcoming chemoresistance in ESCC.

This review discusses how therapeutically targeting YAP through YAP inhibitors verteporfin and celastrol and its downstream mediators CCN1 and CCN2 might be useful in treating melanoma.

The Hippo pathway terminal effector TAZ/WWTR1 mediates oxaliplatin sensitivity in p53 proficient colon cancer cells. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
Accordingly, Verteporfin and CA3, two drugs affecting the activity of YAP and TAZ, showed antagonistic effects with oxaliplatin in co-treatments. Importantly, using several colorectal cell lines, we show that the sensitizing action of TAZ to oxaliplatin is dependent on the p53 status of the cells. Our results support thus an early action of TAZ to sensitize cells to oxaliplatin, consistent with a model in which nuclear TAZ in the context of DNA damage and p53 activity pushes cells towards apoptosis.

Inhibition of YAP/TAZ pathway contributes to the cytotoxicity of silibinin in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. (PubMed, Cell Signal)
Inhibiting YAP pathway either by addition of verteporfin, an inhibitor of YAP/TAZ-TEAD, or by transfection of si-RNAs targeting YAP or TAZ further enhances silibinin-induced cell damage. While enhancing YAP activity by silencing LATS1/2 or overexpressing YAPS127/397A, an active form of YAP, attenuates silibinin-induced cell damage. These findings demonstrate that inhibition of the YAP/TAZ pathway contributes to cytotoxicity of silibinin in breast cancers, shedding lights on YAP/TAZ-targeted cancer therapies.

INHBA regulates Hippo signaling to confer 5-FU chemoresistance mediated by cellular senescence in colon cancer cells. (PubMed, Int J Biochem Cell Biol)
Colon cancer has become a global public health challenge, and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) chemoresistance is a major obstacle in its treatment. Analysis of whether to use the pathway inhibitor Verteporfin proved that INHBA facilitated colon cancer cell senescence and enhanced 5-FU chemoresistance via inactivation of Hippo signaling pathway, and consistent results were obtained in vivo. Collectively, INHBA conferred 5-FU chemoresistance mediated by cellular senescence in colon cancer cells through negative regulation of Hippo signaling.

Treatment with verteporfin inhibited YAP's binding to TEAD and reversed the elevated expression of AMPKα1 in the cells overexpressing CFP-YAP...In addition, the AMPKα1 puncta were demonstrated to inhibit cell viability, autophagy, and proliferation, and ultimately promote cell senescence. In conclusion, YAP binds to TEAD to upregulate AMPKα1 and promotes the formation of AMPKα1 puncta around mitochondria under the condition of co-expression of CFP-YAP and YFP-AMPKα1, in which AMPKα1 puncta lead to cellular senescence.
