Abstract
Hippo-Yap/Taz pathway is essential for tissue regeneration in multiple species. However, we found that in the highly regenerative salamanders, Yap knockout does not compromise the limb regeneration due to genetic compensation response (GCR). Specifically, the mutated Yap locus derived non-sense mRNA, which was recognized by UPF3A to instruct compensatory Taz induction. Blocking Yap mRNA or protein indeed inhibits regeneration. GCR could be utilized to maintain the robustness of limb regeneration.
期刊介绍:
Regenerative Medicine, an innovative online-only journal, aims to advance research in the field of repairing and regenerating damaged tissues and organs within the human body. As a part of the prestigious Nature Partner Journals series and in partnership with ARMI, this high-quality, open access journal serves as a platform for scientists to explore effective therapies that harness the body's natural regenerative capabilities. With a focus on understanding the fundamental mechanisms of tissue damage and regeneration, npj Regenerative Medicine actively encourages studies that bridge the gap between basic research and clinical tissue repair strategies.
