Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Somatic mutations in ubiquitin-specific protease-8 (USP8), encoding a deubiquinating protein, are found in approximately 30% of corticotroph-derived pituitary adenomas (CPAs). Stratifin, a protein encoded by SFN, inhibits USP8 catalytic activity. USP8 has immunomodulating properties that have been demonstrated in non-tumoral diseases. METHODS: We assessed the influence of USP8 on the immune...
