LATS1 and neoplasm: By identifying LATS1/2 and Rho-GTPase as two synergistic instruments of STARD13-correlated ceRNA network in regulating breast CSC traits, our findings forge a novel and unanticipated collaboration between oncogenic Rho-GTPase/F-actin function and the tumor-suppressive Hippo pathway in breast cancer via ceRNA crosstalking.
