The transcription co-factor JAB1/COPS5, serves as a potential oncogenic hub of human chondrosarcoma cells in vitro.

ABSTRACT: Chondrosarcoma (CS) is the second most common skeletal malignancy in humans. High-grade CS is aggressive and extremely resistant to chemo- and radio-therapies. The lack of effective treatment options warrants the development of novel therapies. The evolutionarily conserved transcriptional co-factor JAB1 (also known as COPS5/CSN5) has emerged as a novel regulator of tumorigenesis. JAB1 overexpression occurs in many common cancers and is associated with poor prognosis. However, the role of JAB1 in CS pathogenesis was completely unknown. To study JAB1's function in CS, we performed shRNA knockdown (KD) of JAB1 in two high-grade human CS cell lines, SW1353 and Hs819.T, and observed significantly decreased proliferation and colony formations, and increased apoptosis in both CS cell lines
