USP5 facilitates bladder cancer progression by stabilizing the c-Jun protein.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bladder cancer is the second most common genitourinary malignancy worldwide. The death rate of bladder cancer has increased every year. However, the molecular mechanism of bladder cancer is not sufficiently studied. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) play an important role in carcinogenesis. Several studies have demonstrated that USP5 associated with malignancy and pathological progression in hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal and non-small cell lung cancer. However, the role of USP5 in bladder cancer need to be explored.

Methods

The USP5 expression was analysed using the web server GEPIA. To explore USP5 function in bladder cancer, we constructed USP5-knockout cell lines in T24 cells. A FLAG-USP5 (WT USP5) plasmid and a plasmid FLAG-USP5 C335A (catalytic-inactive
