"Collectively, our results support the concept that dysregulation of miR-148a is associated with the poor prognosis of HCC and may account for the tumor progression to advanced stages, and that, of the newly identified targets, USP4 overexpression may contribute to HCC progression towards more aggressive feature presumably by facilitating TGF-beta signaling pathways, growth advantage and migrating capability."

"In addition to these newly identified nuclear functions, both USP4 and USP15 are well known to function in the cytosol, i.e. USP4 modulates the Wnt and beta-catenin, NF-kappaB, p53 and TGF-beta signaling pathways while USP15 performs functions in the TGF-beta receptor and NF-kappaB signaling pathways."

"Both USP15 and USP4 stimulate TGF-beta signaling by deubiquitylating and stabilizing two key signaling molecules in this pathway, TGF-beta receptor I (TbetaRI) and R-SMADs, suggesting that these two closely related DUBs act in concert to modulate central signaling processes that are involved in oncogenesis and innate immunity."
