Working models of the crosstalk between the YAP and β-catenin pathways in H. pylori-induced gastric tumorigenesis. H. pylori infection invades the gastric epithelium and induces nuclear accumulation and transcriptional activation of YAP and β-catenin. Mechanistically, YAP interacts with β-catenin and promotes its nuclear activation. As a result, their common target genes, including CDX2, LGR5 and RUVBL1, are activated, which contributes to cell proliferation and expansion, ultimately leading to gastric carcinogenesis.
