Overexpression of OTU domain-containing ubiquitin aldehyde-binding protein 1 exacerbates colorectal cancer malignancy by inhibiting protein degradation of β-Catenin via Ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.

ABSTRACT: Although major advances were achieved in colorectal cancer (CRC) therapy, major concerns still remain on proper control of cancer metastasis and chemo-resistance in order to achieve satisfactory general treatment response. Previous studies suggested that OTUB1 (OTU domain-containing ubiquitin aldehyde-binding protein 1) serves as regulator of gene ubiquitination and participates in the pathogenesis of multiple malignancies. Therefore, to discover its molecular mechanism in CRC tumor growth and metastasis will contribute in CRC treatment strategy development. Clinical tissues and CRC cancer cell lines were utilized to evaluate OTUB1 expression pattern. Functional tests including cellular proliferation, migration and invasion, as well as chemo-resistance, etc., were evaluated to investigate
