The HIPPO pathway effector YAP has been shown to be regulated by FAK-signaling. However, the existence of an inverse relationship between YAP and FAK is unknown. Here we demonstrate in hMSCs and in the human osteosarcoma derived cell line Saos that Verteporfin- or RNAi-dependent YAP depletion has opposing influence on FAK. While Verteporfin strikingly reduced cellular FAK protein and phosphorylation, RNAi led to an increase of both molecules and point on a generalizable aspect of the YAP/FAK interrelationship. YAP depletion also caused down-regulation of osteogenic genes in hMSCs, irrespective from the YAP intervention mode. Verteporfin induced topological changes in conjunction with reduced protein levels of beta 1 integrin, paxillin, and zyxin of focal adhesions (FAs) in hMSCs, suggesting FAK-decrease-related alterations in FAs, which seems to be a FAK-dependent mechanism. On the cell behavioral level, YAP-FAK-interrelation involves proliferation and senescence, as indicated by proliferation inhibition and increase of beta-Galactosidase-activity in hMSCs. Our findings, derived from this dual strategy of YAP intervention, reveal a YAP-FAK relationship in conjunction with molecular and cell behavioral consequences. Moreover, they deepen the current scientific knowledge on YAP from a different scientific point of view, since this inverse YAP/FAK-relationship seems to be transferrable to other cell types, including cell entities with pathological background.
