METTL1/USP48 Axis Stabilizes LCN2 Expression to Promote the Malignant Phenotypes of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Clinically, these findings identify the METTL1/USP48/LCN2 pathway as a potential therapeutic target for cSCC and elucidated a novel oncogenic axis in cSCC, wherein METTL1 stabilized USP48 mRNA through m7G methylation modification, and USP48 in turn deubiquitinated and stabilized LCN2 protein.

The deubiquitinating enzyme USP42 promotes lung adenocarcinoma progression through PTGS2

The ubiquitin-specific peptidase 42 (USP42) is a cysteine-dependent deubiquitinase with pro-tumorigenic roles in several cancers. In lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), elevated USP42 expression correlates with advanced stage and poor survival, mirroring the prognostic impact of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) ov...
