Fig. 5. The core components of hippo pathway affect various disorders via autophagy.

Fig. 5

Hippo-YAP axis regulates autophagy and affects the development of disease progression. Inhibition of disease progression (beneficial process) is shown in blue, whereas promotion of disease progression (harmful process) is shown in red. In many diseases, autophagy clears dysfunctional mitochondria and protein aggregates. As two conserved signaling pathways, the Hippo pathway and autophagy intersect in the regulation of cell death and proliferation, tumorigenesis, and survival and growth of tumor cells. ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; DCM, diabetic cardiomyopathy; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; I/R, ischemia-reperfusion; NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; PTC, papillary thyroid carcinoma; SCI, spinal cord injury; TSC, tuberous sclerosis complex.
