The Hippo pathway is a signaling pathway that controls organ size in animals by regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis. Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), an oncogene associated with the development and progression of breast cancer, is downregulated by the Hippo pathway and is associated with the development and progression of breast cancer. Yippee-like 3 (YPEL3) is a target gene of the tumor suppressor protein p53, and its activation has been shown to inhibit cell growth, induce cellular senescence, and suppress tumor cell metastasis. In this study, we found that YAP1 inhibits the expression of YPEL3 expression in breast cancer cells. Furthermore, a decrease in lamin B1, a marker protein of cellular senescence, coupled with the activation of senescence-associated β-galactosidase indicated that upregulating YPEL3 levels through YAP1 downregulation can induce cellular senescence. Additionally, elevated YPEL3 levels resulted in higher levels of oxygen consumption rate in mitochondria, thus promoting apoptosis. This suggests that YPEL3 plays a crucial role in regulating oxidative stress and cell apoptosis in breast cancer cells. Therefore, the interaction between YAP1 and YPEL3 represents a novel mechanism of cellular senescence mediated by the Hippo signaling pathway. Collectively, our findings suggest that the Hippo signaling pathway plays an important role in regulating cellular senescence, which could have implications for the development of new therapeutic strategies for diseases such as cancer.
