USP28 binds ∆NP63. 7 / 7

"Therefore, we were able to show that the USP28∆Np63 axis is implicated in the regulation and control of the expression of SCC marker genes as well as genes controlling cell fate and SCC identity."

"While the interaction between USP28 and ∆Np63 is independent of the catalytic site within the DUB, our results show that the active cysteine at position 171 is essential to facilitate the stabilizing effect on the ∆Np63 protein."

"The ∆Np63USP28 axis is required to maintain the identity of SCC cells."

"To investigate a therapeutic potential of targeting the USP28∆Np63 axis in SCC cells of different origins, we used a set of human cancer cell lines, comprising the pancreas lines PANC‐1 (ADC) and BXPC‐3 (SCC); cervical cancer cell lines HeLa (ADC), SiHa and Ca Ski (SCC); the head‐and‐neck cell line Detroit 562 (SCC); and the lung cell lines H1299 (ADC) and LUDLU‐1 adh (SCC)."

"Finally, we targeted the USP28∆Np63 axis via AZ1 in SCC cell lines and compared proliferative responses to a respective ADC line (Figs  xref G and H, and xref D)."

"Alternatively, SCC tumors express high levels of USP28 and the oncogenic transcription factors NOTCH1, c-JUN, c-MYC, and ∆Np63 ( xref B). squamous tumors depend on the USP28-∆Np63 axis to maintain SCC cell identity and induce the formation of tumors in vivo."

"To assess whether the observed genetic alterations are attributed to the USP28∆Np63 axis in SCC, we next analysed “Hallmark” gene sets of reported USP28 substrates NOTCH1, MYC and AP1‐c‐JUN, in USP28 and ∆Np63 knock‐down A‐431 cells (Fig  xref J and K)."
