"In addition to its cancer cell-intrinsic roles, USP22 has been recently discovered to suppress tumor immunosurveillance through potentiating Foxp3 regulatory functions32 42 as well as upregulating the expression of checkpoint receptors PD-L1 and CD73.43 44 Therefore, targeting USP22 presumably achieves both chemo- and immuno-therapeutic efficacy."

"The deubiquitinating enzyme USP22 has been identified as a promoter of ACC and ACLY transcription by stabilizing PPARγ protein, resulting in a two- to three-fold increase in lipid content, a mechanism observed in 60% of HCC samples.73 Animal studies have shown that USP22 can reduce tumor volume by 70%, whereas PPARγ inhibitors can reverse lipid accumulation and tumor growth."
