Protein Phosphatase 1 Subunit PPP1R14B Stabilizes STMN1 to Promote Progression and Paclitaxel Resistance in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents the most lethal subtype of breast cancer due to its aggressive clinical features and the lack of effective therapeutic targets. To identify novel approaches for targeting TNBC, we examined the role of protein phosphatases in TNBC progression and chemoresistance. Protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 14B (PPP1R14B), a poorly defined member of the protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunits, was aberrantly upregulated in TNBC tissues and predicted poor prognosis. PPP1R14B was degraded mainly through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. RPS27A recruited deubiquitinase USP9X to deubiquitinate and stabilize PPP1R14B, resulting in overexpression of PPP1R14B in TNBC tissues. Gain- and loss-of-function assays demonstrated that PPP1R14B promoted TNBC ce
