Transcription enhanced associate domain factor 1 (TEAD1) predicts liver regeneration outcome of ALPPS-treated patients.

HPB (Oxford)

December 2024

Institute for Clinical Research (IKF), Semmelweis University, Campus Hamburg, Germany; Division of HPB Surgery, Department of Surgery, Asklepios Hospital Barmbek, Hamburg, Germany. Electronic address:

Background: The two-stage surgical technique of associated liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) enables extensive liver resection and promotes future liver remnant regeneration (FLR), in part by inhibiting the Hippo signalling pathway. Its main effector, Yes-associated protein (YAP), has low intrinsic transcriptional activity and requires the transcription enhanced associated domain factor (TEAD) family members as cofactors for target gene transcription. We evaluated the intracellular localization and expression of TEAD1-4, hypothesized to regulate the activity of YAP and, consequently, liver regeneration.

The underlying mechanisms of the association of bone health with depression - an experimental study.

Mol Biol Rep

January 2025

Medical Sociology and Psychobiology, Department of Health and Physical Activity, University of Potsdam, 14469, Potsdam, Germany.

Background: Depression constitutes a risk factor for osteoporosis, but underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms are not fully understood. MiRNAs influence gene expression and are carried by extracellular vesicles (EV), affecting cell-cell communication.

Aims: (1) Identify the difference in miRNA expression between depressed patients and healthy controls; (2) Analyze associations of these miRNAs with bone turnover markers; (3) Analyze target genes of differentially regulated miRNAs and predict associated pathways regarding depression and bone metabolism.

The TEAD family of transcription factors are best known as the DNA-binding factor in the Hippo pathway, where they act by interacting with transcriptional coactivators YAP and TAZ (YAP/TAZ). Despite the importance of the Hippo pathway, the in vivo functions of TEAD in mammals have not been well established. By comparing mouse mutants lacking TEAD1 and TEAD2 (TEAD1/2) to those lacking YAP/TAZ, we found that TEAD1/2 have both YAP/TAZ-dependent and -independent functions during ventral telencephalon development.

Over the last decade, Hippo signaling has emerged as a major tumor-suppressing pathway. Its dysregulation is associated with abnormal expression of and -family genes. Recent works have highlighted the role of YAP1/TEAD activity in several cancers and its potential therapeutic implications.

Melatonin regulation and the function of the periodontal ligament: Future perspective and challenges.

World J Stem Cells

January 2025

Section of Dentistry, Department of Clinical, Surgical, Diagnostic and Paediatric Sciences, University of Pavia, Pavia 27100, Italy.

The present article reviews the emerging role of melatonin (MT) and the Hippo-Yes-associated protein signaling pathway in periodontal regeneration, highlighting their potential to delay the aging process of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). Oxidative stress and cellular senescence are major obstacles in regenerative therapies, especially in an aging population. MT, a potent antioxidant, restores the morphology, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation potential of PDLSCs under oxidative stress conditions.
