Abstract Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a medical challenge due to its high proliferation and metastasis. Although deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) play key role in regulating protein degradation, their pathological roles HCC have not been fully elucidated. Methods By using biomass spectrometry, co-immunoprecipitation, western blotting immunofluorescence assays, we identify ribosomal S16 (RPS16) as substrate of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 1 (USP1). The USP1-RPS16 axis the...

Abstract Androgen receptor splice variant 7 (AR-V7), a form of ligand-independent and constitutively activating androgen (AR), is considered as the key driver to initiate castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Because AR-V7 lacks ligand-binding domain, AR-targeted therapies that aim inactivate AR signaling through disrupting interaction between are limited in CRPC. Thus, emergence has become greatest challenge for treating Targeting protein degradation recently proposed novel avenue...

Abstract YTH domain family 2 (YTHDF2) is the first identified N6‐methyladenosine (m 6 A) reader that regulates status of mRNA. It has been reported overexpressed YTHDF2 promotes carcinogenesis; yet, its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) elusive. Herein, it demonstrated upregulated and can predict poor outcomes HCC. Decreased ubiquitination levels contribute to upregulation YTHDF2. Furthermore, heat shock protein 90 beta (HSP90β) STIP1 homology U‐box‐containing 1 (STUB1) physically...

BRAF mutations drive initiation and progression of various tumors. While inhibitors are effective in BRAF-mutant melanoma patients, intrinsic or acquired resistance to these therapies is common. Here, we identify non–receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase 23 (PTPN23) as an alternative target cancer cells. Silencing PTPN23 selectively kills cells but not those with wild-type BRAF. Mechanistically, PTPN23, a catalytically inactive phosphatase, intriguingly induces WNK3-mediated...

Abstract Triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 15–20% of all newly diagnosed cancers, and is enriched germline mutation BRCA . In Asian patients with cancer, 268 deleterious mutations BRCA1 242 BRCA2 have been identified so far, including a reported frameshift (rs80350973), apparently found only in people, low prevalence 0.3–1.7% different cohorts. Here, we the high (7.2%) rs80350973 among 125 Chinese TNBC, which implies its mutational predilection certain subtypes. Although had...

Patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) benefit from trastuzumab-based therapy but eventually develop intrinsic or acquired resistance. Whether plasma HER2 gene copy number (GCN) could predict survival after trastuzumab treatment remained controversial. We evaluated the prognostic value of GCN using low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (LC-WGS).The was collected MBC patients whose pre-therapeutic samples were available before first-line treatment. Plasma DNA extracted and...
