Abstract

The major role of Hippo signaling is to inhibit their downstream effectors YAP/TAZ for organ size control during development and regeneration (Nat Rev Drug Discov 13(1):63–79, 2014; Dev Cell 19(4):491–505, 2010; Cell 163(4):811–828, 2015). We and others have demonstrated that the genetic disruption of kinases Mst1 and Mst2 (Mst1/2), the core components of Hippo signaling, results in YAP activation and sustained liver growth, thereby leading to an eight- to tenfold increase in liver size within 3 months and occurrence of liver cancer within 5 months (Curr Biol 17(23):2054–2060, 2007; Cancer Cell 16(5):425–438, 2009; Cell 130(6):1120–1133, 2007; Cancer Cell 31(5):669–684 e667, 2017; Nat Commun 6:6239, 2015; Cell Rep 3(5):1663–1677, 2013). XMU-MP-1, an Mst1/2 inhibitor, is able to augment mouse liver and intestinal repair and regeneration in both acute and chronic injury mouse models (Sci Transl Med 8:352ra108, 2016).In addition, YAP-deficient mice show an impaired intestinal regenerative response after DSS treatment or gamma irradiation (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108(49):E1312–1320, 2011; Nature 493(7430):106–110, 2013; Genes Dev 24(21):2383–2388, 2010; J Vis Exp (111), 2010). IBS008738, a TAZ activator, facilitates muscle repair after cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury (Mol Cell Biol. 2014;34(9):1607–21). Deletion of Salvador (Sav) in mouse hearts enhances cardiomyocyte regeneration with reduced fibrosis and recovery of pumping function after myocardial infarction (MI) or resection of mouse cardiac apex (Development 140(23):4683–4690, 2013; Sci Signal 8(375):ra41, 2015; Nature 550(7675):260–264, 2017). This chapter provides a detailed description of procedures and important considerations when performing the protocols for the respective assays used to determine the effects of Hippo signaling on tissue repair and regeneration.
