Usp18 Regulates Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Receptor Expression and Cancer Cell Survival via MicroRNA-7

Abstract excerpt

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is involved in development and progression of many human cancers. We have previously demonstrated that the ubiquitin-specific peptidase Usp18 (Ubp43) is a potent regulator of EGFR protein expression. Here we report that the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the EGFR message modulates RNA translation following cell treatment with Usp18 siRNA, suggesting microRNA as a...
