A83 INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELL STEMNESS AND DIFFERENTIATION ARE REGULATED BY THE HIPPO PATHWAY EFFECTOR YAP1
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background The high rate of cell turnover in the intestinal epithelium is supported by the LGR5+ crypt base columnar (CBC) stem cells, which are located at the lower part of the gland. Among of the various factors and signals like Wnt and Notch, YAP1 (yes associated protein) also plays an important role in stemness of CBC stem cells. YAP1 is the effector of the Hippo pathway. Hippo Pathway restricts the cells proliferation, tissues overgrowth and cancer formation through the phosphorylation and inactivation of the YAP1 protein. When active, YAP1 transfers into nucleus, forms the complex with TEADs transcription factors and promotes the transcription of genes involved in cell growth and proliferation. Aims In the present study, we investigated the role of the YAP1 in the colorectal cancer multipotent HT29 cell line, which contain cancer stem cells (CSC). Methods For approaching to this goal, YAP1 expression was knocked down using shRNAs in HT29 cells. Then stem cells and intestinal cell lineages (secretory goblet, Paneth and enteroendocrine and absorptive) markers expression was analyzed using qPCR and Western blot. Results The results showed the reduction of the expression of stem cells markers including LGR5 in YAP1 knockdown HT29 cells compare with control. Expression of the goblet cells markers (MUC2 and trefoil factor 3) and absorptive cells markers (sucrase-isomaltase and dipeptidylpeptidase IV) were significantly increased in YAP1 knockdown cells but Paneth (DEFA5 and lysozyme) and enteroendocrine (CHGA) were not detected. Finally, examination of the main transcription factors for intestinal differentiation revealed an increase in CDX2 expression. Conclusions These results suggest that YAP1 is involved in the maintenance of colorectal cancer stem cells while preventing intestinal differentiation in both secretory and absorptive lineages through the repression of CDX2.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
