Abstract: Bone defects present significant challenges, requiring timely restoration and regeneration in clinical practice. The restoration area of bone defects undergoes continuous bone formation and remodeling, regulated by a balance between bone generation and resorption. These processes of bone homeostasis are influenced by multi-pathway regulation. Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) and transcriptional enhanced associated domains (TEADs) are key components of the Hippo pathway. They serve as central regulators within these multi-pathway regulation networks, mediating both osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. YAP1 can be influenced by upstream Hippo pathway kinase modules, mechanical signals, and chemical cues, which regulate its interaction with TEAD through signaling pathways and post-translational modifications (PTMs), thereby modulating target protein transcription and various biological processes in bone homeostasis. In this review, we provide a current overview on YAP1-TEAD interactions as a crucial link in bone homeostasis, focusing on the upstream regulations, PTMs, and downstream target. Our aim is to elucidate the complex regulatory mechanisms of YAP1-TEAD and explore potential therapeutic strategies for bone defects. |
Keywords: Bone defects, bone homeostasis, YAP1-TEAD interaction, Hippo pathway. |
