USP8 regulates liver cancer progression via the inhibition of TRAF6-mediated signal for NF-κB activation and autophagy induction by TLR4

Abstract excerpt

Herein, we aimed to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanism in which ubiquitin-specific protease 8 (USP8) is implicated in liver cancer progression via TRAF6-mediated signal. USP8 induces the deubiquitination of TRAF6, TAB2, TAK1, p62, and BECN1, which are pivotal roles for NF-κB activation and autophagy induction. Notably, the LIHC patient with low USP8 mRNA expression showed markedly shorter survival...
