Doxorubicin (DOX) is the most extensively used drug in the chemotherapy of thyroid cancer (TC). However, the existence of DOX resistance is not conducive to TC treatment. Here, we investigated the role of USP10 in DOX-resistant TC and explored the underlying molecular mechanism. CCK-8 assay was used to measure cell viability in thyroid cancer FTC133 and DOX-resistant FTC133-DOX cells. RT-qPCR and western blot were used to evaluate USP10 expression. Cell migration, invasion, and apoptotic assays were conducted...

BACKGROUND: Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) harm bone health and are significantly associated with osteoporosis development. In this study, we aimed to explore the mechanisms involved in carbamazepine (CBZ) and microRNA (miR)-20a-5p/ubiquitin-specific peptidase 10 (USP10)/S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (SKP2) axis in osteoporosis. METHODS: Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were treated with different concentrations of CBZ. Knocking down or overexpressing miR-20a-5p, USP10, and SKP2 cell lines were constructed...

The liver kinase B1 (LKB1)/AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) axis pivotally controls cell metabolism and suppresses abnormal growth in various cancers. Wnt/β-catenin is a frequently dysregulated signaling pathway that drives oncogenesis. Here, we discovered a crosstalk mechanism between the LKB1/AMPK axis and Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Activated AMPK phosphorylates the deubiquitinase USP10 to potentiate the deubiquitination and stabilization of the key scaffold protein Axin1. This phosphorylation also strengthens the binding between USP10 and β-catenin and supports the phase transition of β-catenin...

Francisella tularensis influences several host molecular/signaling pathways during infection. Ubiquitination and deubiquitination are among the most important regulatory mechanisms and respectively occur through attachment or removal of the ubiquitin molecule. The process is necessary not only to mark molecules for degradation, but also, for example, to the activation of signaling pathways leading to pro-inflammatory host response. Many intracellular pathogens, including Francisella tularensis , have evolved mechanisms of modifying such host immune responses to escape degradation...

Radiotherapy is the standard adjuvant treatment for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), yet radioresistance remains a major obstacle leading to treatment failure and unfavorable prognosis. Previous reports have demonstrated the involvement of astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) in tumorigenesis and progression of multiple malignancies. Nevertheless, the precise role of AEG-1 in the radioresistance of ESCC remains elusive. Here, we unveiled a strong correlation between aberrant AEG-1 gene overexpression and malignant progression as well as adverse prognosis in ESCC patients...

Long non-coding RNAs are considered to be key regulatory factors of oncogenesis and tumor progression. It is reported that LINC00460 plays the role of oncogene in some tumors. However, LINC00460's role and mechanism of action in pancreatic cancer have not yet been fully elucidated. We identified LINC00460 by analyzing data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. The role of LINC00460 in proliferation and metastasis was examined using CCK8, colony formation, wound healing, and transwell assays. The potential mechanisms of LINC00460 in regulating mRNA levels were elucidated by RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation, Chromatin immunoprecipitation, Co-immunoprecipitation, and Immunofluorescence assays...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is extremely malignant with limited treatment options. Deubiquitinases (DUBs), which cleave ubiquitin on substrates, can regulate tumor progression and are appealing therapeutic targets, but there are few related studies in PDAC. In our study, we screened the expression levels and prognostic value of USP family members based on published databases and selected USP10 as the potential interventional target in PDAC. IHC staining of the PDAC microarray revealed that USP10 expression was an adverse clinical feature of PDAC...

Cancer cell stemness contributes significantly to intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) progression. However, the roles of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) in ICC modulation are poorly understood. Ubiquitin specific peptidase 10 (USP10) was highly expressed in ICC spheres. The interaction between USP10 and snail family transcriptional repressor 1 (SNAI1) reduced the polyubiquitination of the SNAI1 protein and stabilized the SNAI1 protein. USP10 knockdown in RBE cells inhibited cell proliferation, promoted cell apoptosis and decreased the diameter of the formed spheres and the expression levels of CD44, EpCAM, OCT4 and SOX2...

Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death among females. Metastasis accounts for the majority of BC related deaths. One feasible strategy to solve this challenging problem is to disrupt the capabilities required for tumor metastasis. Herein, we verified a novel metastasis suppressive circRNA, circPOKE in BC. circPOKE was downregulated in primary and metastatic BC tissues and overexpression of circPOKE inhibited the metastatic potential but not the proliferative ability of BC cells in vitro and in vivo...

The extensively activated Notch signaling pathway in pancreatic cancer cells is important in carcinogenesis, chemoresistance, and recurrence. Targeting this pathway is a promising therapeutic strategy for pancreatic cancer; however, few successful approaches have been reported, and currently used molecular inhibitors of this pathway exhibit limited clinical benefits. In this study, we identified a previously uncharacterized microprotein, Notch1 degradation-associated regulatory polypeptide (N1DARP), encoded by LINC00261...

Invadopodia, being actin-rich membrane protrusions, play a vital role in tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Our previous studies have revealed some functions of the DOC-2/DAB2 interacting protein (DAB2IP) as a tumor suppressor. Nevertheless, the specific role and mechanism of DAB2IP in invadopodia formation remain unclear. Here, we find that DAB2IP effectively suppresses invadopodia formation and metastasis in breast cancer, both in vitro and in vivo . Additionally, DAB2IP could downregulate anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), resulting in the inhibition of tyrosine phosphorylation of Cortactin and the prevention of invadopodia formation...

Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a conserved pathway crucially governing development, homeostasis, and oncogenesis. Discoveries of its regulators hold great values in both basic and translational research. Through screening, we identified a deubiquitinase, USP10, as a critical modulator of β-catenin. Mechanistically, USP10 binds to key scaffold Axin1 via conserved motifs and stabilizes Axin1 through K48-linked deubiquitination. Surprisingly, USP10 physically tethers Axin1 and β-catenin and promotes the phase separation for β-catenin suppression regardless of the enzymatic activity...

The adaptor molecule MAVS forms prion-like aggregates to govern the RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) signaling cascade. Lys63 (K63)-linked polyubiquitination is critical for MAVS aggregation, yet the underlying mechanism and the corresponding E3 ligases and deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) remain elusive. Here, we found that the K63-linked polyubiquitin chains loaded on MAVS can be directly recognized by RIG-I to initiate RIG-I-mediated MAVS aggregation with the prerequisite of the CARDRIG-I -CARDMAVS interaction...

The differentiation of fibroblasts into pathological myofibroblasts during wound healing is characterized by increased cell surface expression of αv-integrins. Our previous studies found that the deubiquitinase (DUB) USP10 removes ubiquitin from αv-integrins, leading to cell surface integrin accumulation, subsequent TGFβ1 activation, and pathological myofibroblast differentiation. In this study, a yeast two-hybrid screen revealed a novel binding partner for USP10, the formin, DAAM1. We found that DAAM1 binds to and inhibits USP10's DUB activity through the FH2 domain of DAAM1 independent of its actin functions...

However, the mechanism of action of JPY in the treatment of diarrhea is not fully understood. DESIGN: In this study, a rat diarrhea model was induced by high lactose feeding combined with standing on a small platform to investigate the ameliorating effect of JPY on hyper lactose-induced diarrhea in rats and its possible mechanism...

BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome characterized by persistent inflammation and immunosuppression, leading to septic shock and multiple organ dysfunctions. Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 10 (USP10), a deubiquitinase enzyme, plays a vital role in cancer and arterial restenosis, but its involvement in sepsis is unknown. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we investigated the significance of USP10 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages and its biological roles in LPS-induced sepsis...

Colorectal cancer ranks among the third most common human malignant diseases and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths globally. Colon cancer cells are hypoxic and display disturbed protein homeostasis. Ubiquitin-ligase-initiated proteasomal degradation as well as its prevention by deubiquitinases (DUBs) are supposed to contribute to the above-mentioned disturbances. However, not much is known about the involvement of ubiquitinating and deubiquitinating enzymes in colon cancer and their effect on the hypoxia response...
