Abstract

The Hippo pathway is a crucial signaling pathway that is highly conserved throughout evolution for the regulation of organ size and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Initial studies have primarily focused on the canonical Hippo pathway, which governs organ development, tissue regeneration, and tumorigenesis. In recent years, extensive research has revealed that the non-canonical Hippo pathway, centered around Mst1/2 as its core molecule, plays a pivotal role in immune response and function by synergistically interacting with other signal transduction pathways. Consequently, the non-canonical Hippo pathway assumes significant importance in maintaining immune system homeostasis. This review concentrates on the research progress of the non-canonical Hippo pathway in regulating innate immune cell anti-infection responses, maintaining redox homeostasis, responding to microenvironmental stiffness, and T-cell differentiation.
