FGF2 and neoplasm: We observed a further increase in YAP/TAZ target gene expression in MAP4K4-depleted DAOY cells stimulated with bFGF (Figs. 4f, S6C), suggesting that MAP4K4 represses YAP/TAZ target gene expression also under bFGF-stimulation, Collectively, these data confirmed on the one hand a growth suppressing role of MAP4K4 in MB tumor cells.
