ML364 inhibits USP2. 11 / 11

reach
"Given that ML364 inhibits USP2, we next investigated the role of USP2 in antithrombin turnover."

reach
"We demonstrated that pharmacological inhibition of USP2 by ML364 prominently reduced the formation of TNBC tumorspheres in a dose dependent fashion."

reach
"Moreover, USP2 inhibition by ML364 considerably enhanced the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin or paclitaxel in multiple TNBC cell models."

reach
"We reasoned that while ML364 inactivated USP2 catalytic activity, this small molecule is unlikely to disrupt the USP2–SKP2 binding, leading to less “free” SKP2 to degrade its substrates."

reach
"USP2 overexpression promoted proliferation and metastasis, and induced the EMT in CM cells in vitro, while specific inhibition of USP2 by ML364 produced the opposite effects."

reach
"In support of this notion, USP2 inhibition by ML364 led to a dose dependent reduction in Twist and Bmi1 expression."

reach
"ML364 is an inhibitor of ubiquitin specific peptidase 2 (USP2) in human breast cancer (Davis et al., 2016)."

reach
"The small-molecular inhibitor of USP2, ML364, was purchased from TargetMol."

reach
"Together, these observations provide compelling evidence that ML364, by inhibiting USP2 and subsequently reducing ACE2 protein, effectively counteracts SARS-CoV-2 infection both in vitro and in vivo."

reach
"However, the commercially available inhibitors for these DUBs had no obvious influence on the SOX2 expression, including b-AP15 (the inhibitor of USP14 and UCHL5), P5091 (the inhibitor of USP7 and USP[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

reach
"Collectively, these results confirmed the ACE2 dependency in the inhibition of USP2 by ML364 or MS102, thereby resulting in their inhibitory effects on viral infections."
