Abstract
Yes associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) are ubiquitous transcriptional co-activators that control organ development, homeostasis, and tissue regeneration. Current in vivo evidence suggests that YAP/TAZ regulates enamel knot formation during murine tooth development, and is indispensable for dental progenitor cell renewal to support constant incisor growth. Being a critical sensor for cellular mechano-transduction, YAP/TAZ lays at the center of the complex molecular network that integrates mechanical cues from the dental pulp chamber and surrounding periodontal tissue into biochemical signals, dictating in vitro cell proliferation, differentiation, stemness maintenance, and migration of dental stem cells. Moreover, YAP/TAZ-mediated cell-microenvironment interactions also display essential regulatory roles during biomaterial-guided dental tissue repair and engineering in some animal models. Here, we review recent advances in YAP/TAZ functions in tooth development, dental pulp, and periodontal physiology, as well as dental tissue regeneration. We also highlight several promising strategies that harness YAP/TAZ activation for promoting dental tissue regeneration.

Jia J, Feng L, Ye S, Ping R, Mo X, Zhang Y, Li X, Chen D. Therapeutic effect of chinese herbal medicine gu-ben-hua-shi (AESS) formula on atopic dermatitis through regulation of yes-associated protein. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:929580. [PMID: 36313294 PMCID: PMC9597468 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.929580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and recurrent skin disease. At present, there is a lack of sufficiently effective and safe medicines that can be used for a prolonged time and reduce the recurrence of AD. The Gu-Ben-Hua-Shi (AESS) formula has been used for many years with a good clinical effect on AD but its specific treatment mechanism is unknown. Methods: The main components of AESS were analyzed using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). The composition of AESS compounds in the serum from rats was analyzed using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. An AD mouse model was constructed using 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene stimulation in Balb/C mice and the effect on the reduction of skin lesions and Th1/Th2/Th17/Treg balance after AESS administration were measured. The effects of AESS serum on the proliferation and apoptosis of keratinocyte cell line HaCaT and adhesion of HaCaT to human monocyte cell line THP-1 were detected in an IFN-γ/TNF-α stimulated AD-like inflammatory cell model. The effects of Yes-associated protein (YAP) expression on the therapeutic effect and a related signaling pathway were also investigated. Results: In total, 10 components were confirmed using UPLC, namely five organic acids, three flavonoids, and two chromogenic ketones. Additionally, the similarity of the three batches of samples (S1–3) was above 0.98, indicating that the formula samples have good uniformity. These 10 compounds were also detected in rat serum, suggesting that they are absorbed into rat blood as prototype components. Furthermore, AESS effectively reduced the skin lesions in the AD mouse model, regulated the Th1/Th2/Th17/Treg imbalance, improved the proliferation ability of the AD-like cell model, and inhibited HaCaT apoptosis and adhesion to THP-1 cells. It also reduced the expression of YAP in Th17 and Treg cells of the mouse spleen and increased YAP expression in the skin. The change in YAP expression in keratinocytes weakened the curative effect of AESS, and AESS exerted its effects through the NF-κB signaling pathway. Conclusion: AESS may play a role in the treatment of AD by affecting the expression of YAP. These findings can be used to promote its use as an alternative medication for prolonged use with fewer side effects.

Abstract
Cementum regeneration, as one of the most difficult challenges of periodontal regeneration, is influenced by inflammatory factors. Inflammation may hamper or promote periodontal tissue repair under different circumstances, as it is found to do in dentin‐pulp complex and bone tissue. Our team demonstrated that YAP promotes mineralization of OCCM, a cementoblast cell line. However, the effect of YAP on its mineralization under inflammatory microenvironment is unclear. In this study, cementogenesis in vitro was up‐regulated after transient TNF‐α treatment for 30 minutes. YAP expression also was increased by TNF‐α treatment. YAP overexpression promoted OCCM mineralization after the cells were transiently treated with TNF‐α because YAP overexpression inhibited NF‐κB pathway activity, while YAP knockdown elevated it. The inhibited mineralization potential and activated NF‐κB pathway activity by YAP knockdown also were partly rescued by the application of the NF‐κB inhibitor Bay 11‐7082. These results demonstrated that YAP plays a positive role in the mineralization of TNF‐α transiently treated cementoblast, partly by inhibiting the NF‐κB pathway activity.
