UCHL3 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression by stabilizing EEF1A1 through deubiquitination.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks as the second leading cause of global cancer-related deaths and is characterized by a poor prognosis. Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 (EEF1A1) have been proved to play important roles in various human cancers, whereas the deubiquitination of EEF1A1 was poorly understood.

Methods

The binding and regulatory relationship between Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L3 (UCHL3) and EEF1A1 was validated using clinical tissue samples, reverse transcription quantitative real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), Western blotting, co-immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence, as well as ubiquitin detection and cyclohexamide tracking experiments. Finally, the impact of the UCHL3/EEF1A1 axis on HCC malignant
