For instance, ectopic expression of Dnd1 promotes LATS2 mRNA decay through binding to the LATS2 3’-UTR, thus promoting YAP phosphorylation and inhibiting Epithel-to-Mesenchymal Transformation (EMT) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) [28]. The gene discussed is YAP1; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
