The present study aimed to reveal Hippo/YAP role in the radiation sensitivity of glioma cells.Methods: Glioma U251 cells were administrated with different doses of irradiation. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry assays were used to assess cell viability and apoptosis. Co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) assay was used to assess the interactions between proteins.Results: The results showed that irradiation exposure significantly inhibited cell viability and induced cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner, as well as decreased YAP1 expression via enhancing RCHY1-mediated YAP1 protein degradation. In addition, we observed that downregulation of YAP1 or RCHY1 weakened the role of irradiation exposure in cell viability inhibition and apoptosis promotion.Conclusion: Collectively, this study emphasizes the vital role of Hippo/YAP signaling in radiation sensitivity of glioma, that RCHY1-mediated YAP1 protein downregulation is a main mechanism accounting for radiation-induced glioma cell apoptosis. Our study may enrich the theoretical basis of Hippo/YAP signaling as a new target for improving radiation sensitivity in glioma.Keywords: radiation, Hippo/YAP signaling, ubiquitination, RCHY1, glioma
