BackgroundTo investigate whether the YAP/TAZ (Yes-associated protein/transcriptional coactivator with PDZ binding motif) pathway contributes to the pathogenesis of lymphatic malformations (LMs).MethodsYAP, TAZ, CTGF (connective tissue growth factor), and Ki-67 were detected in LMs by immunohistochemistry. The colocalization of YAP and Ki-67 was analyzed by double immunofluorescence. Pearson’s correlation and cluster analyses were performed to analyze the relationships between these proteins. Human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLECs) were used for mechanistic investigation. Rat models of LMs were established to investigate the role of the YAP pathway in LM development.ResultsCompared with those in normal skin, the expression levels of YAP, TAZ, CTGF, and Ki-67 were significantly upregulated in lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) of LMs. Interestingly, YAP and CTGF presented much higher expression levels in infected LMs. In experiments in vitro, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) enhanced the expression of YAP in a concentration- and time-dependent manner via the increased phosphorylation of Erk1/2 (extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2). Moreover, the proliferation, invasion, and tubule formation of HDLECs increased significantly in accordance with the activation of the YAP signaling pathway. Furthermore, LM rat models validated that LPS facilitated the development of LMs, which was dependent on the activation of YAP.ConclusionsThe data reveal that activation of the YAP signaling pathway in LECs may play a crucial role in the progression of LMs.ImpactCompared with that in normal skin, the YAP signaling pathway was activated in LECs of LMs. Inhibiting the YAP signaling pathway attenuated the proliferation, invasion, and tubule formation of HDLECs. Additionally, the activation of the YAP signaling pathway could promote LM development in a rat model.Activation of the YAP signaling pathway in LECs may play a crucial role in the progression of LMs.The YAP signaling pathway was activated in LMs. Inhibition of the YAP signaling pathway could promote regression of the lesions.
