"The OTUB1-TGFBI regulatory axis plays a crucial role in angiogenesis."

sparser
"These results establish that curcumol inhibits tumor angiogenesis by disrupting the OTUB1-TGFBI axis through enhanced ubiquitination and the degradation of TGFBI."

sparser
"Recent studies have identified a specific binding interaction between OTUB1 and TGFBI that is essential for OTUB1-mediated deubiquitination of TGFBI [ xref ]."

sparser
"However, the current research has several limitations: (1) insufficient mechanistic validation (e.g., lack of loss-of-function experiments via OTUB1 knockout); (2) undefined site specificity (unidentified critical ubiquitination sites mediating OTUB1-TGFBI interaction); and (3) unverified direct binding between curcumol and OTUB1 or its enzymatic activity modulation, which requires further validation through binding assays (e.g., surface plasmon resonance [SPR]) or enzyme activity tests."

sparser
"Immunofluorescence staining demonstrated strong OTUB1-TGFBI co-localization in control tumors ( xref G), with OTUB1 distributed in nuclear/cytoplasmic compartments and TGFBI localized to the extracellular matrix and membrane regions."

sparser
"Curcumol treatment significantly attenuated both protein expression and its co-localization (** p < 0.01; xref H), indicating that it disrupts OTUB1-TGFBI interactions that may be critical for tumor angiogenesis."

reach
"Half-life assays and ubiquitination test were performed to investigate the interaction between TGFBI and OTUB1."

sparser
"Importantly, the OTUB1-TGFBI interaction may represent a potential therapeutic target for mediating the anti-angiogenic effects of curcumol."

sparser
"Future studies should employ structural biology analyses of OTUB1-TGFBI protein interaction, biochemical validation of direct curcumol–OTUB1 binding, and dose-dependent evaluation of angiogenesis inhibition in both in vitro and in vivo models to refine the mechanistic understanding."
