Emerging studies have suggested that the Hippo pathway is involved in the tumorigenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the key regulator of the Hippo pathway in liver tumor metabolic reprogramming remains elusive. Here, we provide evidence that high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a chromosomal protein, plays a role in the regulation of the Hippo pathway during liver tumorigenesis. Cre/loxP recombination-mediated HMGB1 depletion in hepatocytes blocks diethylnitrosamine-induced liver cancer initiation in mice, whereas short hairpin RNA-mediated gene silencing of HMGB1 inhibits HCC cell proliferation. Mechanistically, the binding of HMGB1 to GA-binding protein alpha promotes the expression of yes-associated protein (YAP), a major downstream effector of the Hippo pathway that contributes to liver tumorigenesis by inducing hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1)-dependent aerobic glycolysis. Like wild-type YAP-complementary DNA, YAP-5SA-S94A can restore HIF1 DNA binding activity, glycolysis-associated gene expression, and HIF1-YAP complex formation in YAP-knockdown HCC cell lines. In contrast, verteporfin, a reagent targeting the interface between YAP and TEA domain transcription factor, has the ability to block YAP-HIF1 complex formation. Notably, genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of the HMGB1-YAP-HIF1 pathway confers protection against excessive glycolysis and tumor growth in mice. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that HMGB1 plays a novel role in modulating the YAP-dependent HIF1 pathway and shed light on the development of metabolism-targeting therapeutics for HCC chemoprevention.
