Abstract
OBJECTIVE Schizophrenia is a complex and devastating psychiatric disorder with a strong genetic background. However, much uncertainty still exists about the role of genetic susceptibility in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. TEA domain transcription factor 1 (TEAD1) is a transcription factor associated with neurodevelopment and has modulating effects on various nervous system diseases. In the current study, we performed a case-control association study in a Northeast Chinese Han population to explore the characteristics of pathogenic TEAD1 polymorphisms and potential association with schizophrenia. METHODS We recruited a total of 721 schizophrenia patients and 1,195 healthy controls in this study. The 9 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene region of TEAD1 were selected and genotyped. RESULTS The genetic association analyses showed that five SNPs (rs12289262, rs6485989, rs4415740, rs7113256, and rs1866709) were significantly different between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls in allele or/and genotype frequencies. After Bonferroni correction, the association of three SNPs (rs4415740, rs7113256, and rs1866709) with schizophrenia were still evident. Haplotype analysis revealed that two strong linkage disequilibrium blocks (rs6485989-rs4415740-rs7113256 and rs16911710-rs12364619-rs1866709) were globally associated with schizophrenia. Four haplotypes (C-C-C and T-T-T, rs6485989-rs4415740-rs7113256; G-T-A and G-T-G, rs16911710-rs12364619-rs1866709) were significantly different between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls. CONCLUSION The current findings indicated that the human TEAD1 gene has a genetic association with schizophrenia in the Chinese Han population and may act as a susceptibility gene for schizophrenia.

Abstract
Interfacial tension governs the behaviors and physiological functions of multiple biological condensates during diverse biological processes. Little is known about whether there are cellular surfactant factors that regulate the interfacial tension and functions of biological condensates within physiological environments. TFEB, a master transcription factor that controls expression of autophagic-lysosomal genes, assembles into transcriptional condensates to control the autophagy-lysosome pathway (ALP). Here, we show that interfacial tension modulates the transcriptional activity of TFEB condensates. MLX, MYC, and IPMK act as synergistic surfactants to decrease the interfacial tension and consequent DNA affinity of TFEB condensates. The interfacial tension of TFEB condensates is quantitatively correlated to their DNA affinity and subsequent ALP activity. The interfacial tension and DNA affinity of condensates formed by TAZ-TEAD4 are also regulated by the synergistic surfactant proteins RUNX3 and HOXA4. Our results indicate that the interfacial tension and functions of biological condensates can be controlled by cellular surfactant proteins in human cells.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) represents a clinical challenge due to the lack of effective therapy to improve prognosis. Hippo/Yes-associated protein (YAP) signaling has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for squamous cell carcinoma treatment. In this study, we investigated the antitumor activity and underlying mechanisms of {[N-(4-(5-(3-(3-(4-acetamido-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ureido)phenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-3-chlorophenyl)-nicotinamide]} (ATN), a novel YAP inhibitor, in OSCC cells. ATN exhibited differential antiproliferative efficacy against OSCC cells (IC50 as low as 0.29 μM) versus nontumorigenic human fibroblast cells (IC50 = 1.9 μM). Moreover, ATN effectively suppressed the expression of YAP and YAP-related or downstream targets, including Akt, p-AMPK, c-Myc, and cyclin D1, which paralleled the antiproliferative efficacy of ATN. Supporting the roles of YAP in regulating cancer cell survival and migration, ATN not only induced caspase-dependent apoptosis, but also suppressed migration activity in OSCC. Mechanistically, the antitumor activity of ATN in OSCC was attributed, in part, to its ability to regulate Mcl-1 expression. Together, these findings suggest a translational potential of YAP inhibitors, represented by ATN as anticancer therapy for OSCC.

Abstract
Background Aicardi syndrome is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by infantile spasms, typical chorioretinal lacunae, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and other neuronal migration defects. It has been reported recently that de novo variants in TEAD1 and OCEL1 each may cause Aicardi syndrome in a single individual of a small cohort of females with this clinical diagnosis. These data were interpreted to suggest that the clinical diagnosis of Aicardi syndrome may be genetically heterogeneous. Methods To investigate this further, we sequenced TEAD1 and OCEL1 coding regions using DNA from 38 clinically well‐characterized girls with Aicardi syndrome. Results We did not detect the previously reported or any other deleterious variants in any of the analyzed samples. Conclusions This suggests that the published variants represent either an extremely rare cause of Aicardi syndrome or an incidental finding.

Abstract
TEAD proteins constitute a family of highly conserved transcription factors, characterized by a DNA-binding domain called the TEA domain and a protein-binding domain that permits association with transcriptional co-activators. TEAD proteins are unable to induce transcription on their own. They have to interact with transcriptional cofactors to do so. Once TEADs bind their co-activators, the different complexes formed are known to regulate the expression of genes that are crucial for embryonic development, important for organ formation (heart, muscles), and involved in cell death and proliferation. In the first part of this review we describe what is known of the structure of TEAD proteins. We then focus on two members of the family: TEAD1 and TEAD2. First the different transcriptional cofactors are described. These proteins can be classified in three categories: i), cofactors regulating chromatin conformation, ii), cofactors able to bind DNA, and iii), transcriptional cofactors without DNA binding domain. Finally we discuss the recent findings that identified TEAD1 and 2 and its coactivators involved in cancer progression.

Abstract
To form the primary heart tube in zebrafish, bilateral cardiac precursor cells (CPCs) migrate toward the midline beneath the endoderm. Mutants lacking endoderm and fish with defective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) signaling exhibit cardia bifida. Endoderm defects lead to the lack of foothold for the CPCs, whereas the cause of cardia bifida in S1P signaling mutants remains unclear. Here we show that S1P signaling regulates CPC migration through Yes-associated protein 1 (Yap1)-dependent endoderm survival. Cardia bifida seen in spns2 (S1P transporter) morphants and s1pr2 (S1P receptor-2) morphants could be rescued by endodermal expression of nuclear localized form of yap1. yap1 morphants had decreased expression of the Yap1/Tead target connective tissue growth factor a (Ctgfa) and consequently increased endodermal cell apoptosis. Consistently, ctgfa morphants showed defects of the endodermal sheet and cardia bifida. Collectively, we show that S1pr2/Yap1-regulated ctgfa expression is essential for the proper endoderm formation required for CPC migration.

Abstract
Inflammasomes are a large family of multiprotein complexes recognizing pathogen-associated molecular pattern molecules (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). This leads to caspase-1 activation, promoting the secretion of mature IL-1β, IL-18 and under certain conditions even induce pyroptosis. Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) is associated with alterations in microbiota composition, inappropriate immune responses and genetic predisposition associated to bacterial sensing and autophagy. Besides their acknowledged role in mounting microbial induced host responses, a crucial role in maintenance of intestinal homeostasis was revealed in inflammasome deficient mice. Further, abnormal activation of these functions appears to contribute to the pathology of intestinal inflammation including IBD and colitis-associated cancer. Herein, the current literature implicating the inflammasomes, microbiota and IBD is comprehensively reviewed.
