Porphyromonas gingivalis induced UCHL3 to promote colon cancer progression.

ABSTRACT: Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), a Gram-negative oral anaerobe, was demonstrated to facilitate colonization and progression in colonic tumor, while the underlying mechanism still remains to be clarified. Here, we identified the proteome profile changed by P. gingivalis infection in HCT116 cells through label-free quantitative proteomics, and found that deubiquitinase UCHL3 was a key protein that response for P. gingivalis infection. By CCK8, colony formation, wound healing assays, and in vivo subcutaneous tumor mouse moudle, we proved that P. gingivalis could promote the proliferation and migration of colon cancer, while the process was inhibited by UCHL3 knock down. Through IP-MS, we identified GNG12 as the UCHL3 interacting protein. The protein
