Abstract Breast cancer is the most common malignancy for women worldwide, while Triple Negative Cancer (TNBC) accounts 20% in all patients. Compared with estrogen receptor positive breast cancer, which could be effectively controlled via endocrine therapy, TNBC more aggressive and worse prognosis. It therefore urgent necessary to develop a novel therapeutic strategy treatment. Recent studies identified Hippo signaling highly activated TNBC, driving pathway progression. In our study, we...

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. Estrogen receptor α (ERα) expressed ∼70% of breast cases and promotes estrogen-dependent progression. In present study, we identified OTU domain-containing 7B (OTUD7B), a deubiquitylase belonging to A20 subgroup ovarian tumor protein superfamily, as bona fide ERα cancer. OTUD7B expression was found be positively correlated with associated poor prognosis. could interact with, deubiquitylate, stabilize deubiquitylation...
Histones methyltransferase NSD3 targeting H3K36 is frequently disordered and mutant in various cancers, while the function of during cancer initiation progression remains unclear. In this study, it proved that downregulated level linked to clinical features poor survival lung adenocarcinoma. vivo, inhibited proliferation, immigration, invasion ability Meanwhile, suppressed glycolysis by inhibiting HK2 translation, transcription, glucose uptake, lactate production Mechanistically, as an...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent and lethal human malignancies, with quite limited treatment alternatives. The proteasome responsible for protein degradation in eukaryotic cells required maintenance intracellular homeostasis. However, its potential role HCC largely unknown. In current study, we identified translation initiation factor 3 subunit H (EIF3H), belonging to JAB1/MPN/MOV34 (JAMM) superfamily, as a bona fide deubiquitylase O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) HCC....
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is one of the most aggressive and virulent solid tumors.The ubiquitin proteasome system presents in all eukaryotic cells essential for cellular homeostasis.While its underlying role ATC remains largely unclear.TRIM11 an E3 ligase has been reported to act as oncogene several human cancers.The present study aims reveal oncogenic function TRIM11 ATC.Western blot was used measure protein expression YAP, while YAP target genes were measured by real-time PCR.CCK8...
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is one of the most lethal and aggressive human malignancies, with no effective treatment currently available. The Hippo tumor suppressor pathway highly conserved in mammals plays an important role carcinogenesis. TAZ major key effectors pathway. However, mechanism supporting abnormal expression ATC remains to be characterized. In present study, we identified USP26, a DUB enzyme ubiquitin-specific proteases family, as bona fide deubiquitylase ATC. USP26 was...
Oxaliplatin (OXA) resistance is a major clinic challenge in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Ferroptosis kind of iron-dependent cell death. Triggering ferroptosis considered to restore sensitivity chemotherapy. In the present study, we found that USP20 was overexpressed OXA-resistant HCC cells. High expression associated with poor prognosis. contributes OXA and suppress HCC. Pharmacological inhibition or knockdown triggered increased cells both vitro vivo. Coimmunoprecipitation results...
Abstract Background Bladder cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed urological malignant tumor. The Hippo tumor suppressor pathway highly conserved in mammals and plays an important role carcinogenesis. YAP major key effectors pathway. However, mechanism supporting abnormal expression bladder remains to be characterized. Methods Western blot was used measure MINDY1 YAP, while target genes were measured by real-time PCR. CCK8 assay detect cell viability. xeno-graft model for vivo study....
Abstract Breast cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignancies and a leading cause death among females. Multiple molecular alterations are observed in breast cancer. LncRNA transcripts were proved to play important roles biology tumorigenesis. In this study, we aimed identify lncRNA expression signature that can predict patient survival. We developed 10‐lncRNA signature‐based risk score which was used separate patients into high‐risk low‐risk groups. Patients group had...
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common female malignancy worldwide, and 70% of which are estrogen receptor α (ERα) positive. Endocrine treatment, such as tamoxifen, a primary adjuvant therapy for patients with ER-positive BC. However, some will develop acquired resistance following long-time treatment. Further research on signaling important to improve these patients. In this study, we report that E3 ubiquitin ligase tripartite motif 8 (TRIM8) acts novel regulator ERα signaling. TRIM8...
Abstract Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignant tumor among females. Estrogen receptor α (ERα) initially expressed in 70% of breast cancers and a well-known target endocrine therapy for ERα-positive cancer. In present study, we identified MINDY1, member belongs to motif interacting with Ubcontaining novel DUB family (MINDY), as potential deubiquitylase ERα There was positive correlation between MINDY1 protein levels human tissues. We found that high expression associated poor...
Abstract Quite a few estrogen receptor (ER)‐positive breast cancer patients receiving endocrine therapy are at risk of disease recurrence and death. ER‐related genes involved in the progression chemoresistance cancer. In this study, we identified an gene signature that can predict prognosis ER‐positive patient therapy. We collected RNA expression profiling from Gene Expression Omnibus database. An was developed to separate into high‐risk low‐risk groups. Patients group had significantly...
