RESUMEN
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) poses a significant global health challenge due to its highly aggressive nature and invasive characteristics. Dysregulation of the Hippo pathway, a key regulator of various biological processes, is observed in TNBC, and its inhibition holds promise for impeding cancer growth. This in-silico analysis investigates the role of Transcriptional Enhanced Associate Domain 4 (TEAD4) in TNBC and its interaction with Yes Associated Protein (YAP) in cancer progression. Our results demonstrate that TEAD4 upregulation is linked to poor prognosis in TNBC, emphasizing its critical role in the disease. Moreover, we identify CID44521006, an analog of Flufenamic acid, as a potential therapeutic compound capable of disrupting the TEAD4-YAP interaction by binding to the YAP-binding domain of TEAD4. These findings underscore the significance of TEAD4 in TNBC and propose CID44521006 as a promising candidate for therapeutic intervention. The study contributes valuable insights to advance treatment options for TNBC, offering a potential avenue for the development of targeted therapies against this aggressive form of breast cancer.
