Learn MoreCell senescence is a driver of various aging-associated disorders including osteoarthritis. Here, we identified a critical role for Yes-associated protein (YAP), a major effector of Hippo signaling, in maintaining a younger state of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and ameliorating osteoarthritis in mice. Targeted knockout of YAP in hMSCs resulted in premature cellular senescence. Mechanistically, YAP interacted with TEA domain transcriptional factor (TEAD) to activate forkhead box D1 (FOXD1) expression. YAP deficiency led to the downregulation of FOXD1, a geroprotective protein. In turn, overexpression of YAP or FOXD1 rejuvenated aged hMSCs. Moreover, intra-articular administration of lentiviral vectors encoding YAP or FOXD1 attenuated the development of osteoarthritis in mice. Collectively, our findings reveal YAP-FOXD1, a novel aging-associated regulatory axis, as a potential therapeutic target for gene therapy to alleviate osteoarthritis.; SOURCE: yuqiong hu (yqhu2012@126.com) - Peking University
