Abstract
Unrestrained oncogene activity triggers DNA damage. Cancer cells exploit various stratagems to deal with this potentially lethal event. We found that hematologic cancer cells inactivate the Hippo co-activator Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1). A synthetic lethal approach is proposed whereby inhibition of the serine/threonine kinase 4 (STK4) could be exploited to restore YAP1 levels in hematologic cancers.Entities:
