YAP Inactivation by Soft Mechanotransduction Relieves MAFG for Tumor Cell Dedifferentiation

Solid tumor cells live in a highly dynamic mechanical microenvironment.How the extracellular-matrix-generated mechanotransduction regulates tumor cell development and differentiation remains an enigma.Here,we show that a low mechanical force generated from the soft matrix induces dedifferentiation of moderately stiff tumor cells to soft stem-cell-like cells.Mechanistically,integrin β8 was identified to transduce mechano-signaling to trigger tumor cell dedifferentiation by recruiting RhoGDI1 to inactivate RhoA and subsequently Yes-associated protein(YAP).YAP inactivation relieved the inhibition of v-maf avian musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog G(MAFG),allowing MAFG to transactivate the stemness genes NANOG,SOX2,and NESTIN.Inactivation also restored β8 expression,thereby forming a closed mechanical loop.Importantly,MAFG expression is correlated with worse prognosis.Our findings provide mechanical insights into the regulation of tumor cell dedifferentiation,which has therapeutic implications for exploring innovative strategies to attack malignancies.
