Figure 9. Hypothetical model of YAP-regulated tumorigenesis in OSCC.

Figure 9

Inactivated of Hippo signal pathway determines an increase of YAP and its nuclear translocation. YAP could indirectly or directly drive C-MYC transcriptional activity, which leads to sustained cell proliferation. Meanwhile, YAP is able to increase the transcription of BCL-2 gene and result in resisting cell apoptosis.
