Hippo/Mst1 overexpression induces mitochondrial death in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma via activating β-catenin/Drp1 pathway.
Abstract Mammalian Ste20-like kinase 1 (Mst1) is associated with cell apoptosis. In the current study, we explored the regulatory effects of Mst1 on squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) in vitro. SCCHN Cal27 cells and Tu686 cells were transfected with adenovirus-loaded Mst1 to detect the role of Mst1 in cell viability. Then, siRNA against Drp1 was transfected into cells to evaluate the influence of mitochondrial fission in cancer survival. Our data illustrated that Mst1 overexpression promoted SCCHN Cal27 cell and Tu686 cell death via activating mitochondria-related apoptosis. Cells transfected wit...
