"Finally, we observed that nucleotide excision repair (NER) components (e.g., XPC, XPA, ERCC1) were up-regulated by USP35-FUCA1 axis, indicating a potential mechanism for USP35-FUCA1-mediated platinum resistance in CRC."

sparser
"Therefore, we performed a series of functional studies under the regulation of USP35-FUCA1 axis, aiming to better understand the role of FUCA1 in cancers."

sparser
"Finally, we suggested that USP35-FUCA1 axis up-regulated nucleotide excision repair (NER) components (e.g., XPC, XPA, ERCC1), which could be a potential mechanism for platinum resistance in CRC."

sparser
"To validate our screened results, we first examined whether the physical interaction existed between USP35 and FUCA1."

sparser
"As illustrated in Fig. xref , USP35 interacted with FUCA1 in a reciprocal fashion."

sparser
"The interaction between endogenous USP35 and FUCA1 was also detected in LoVo and DLD-1 cells (Fig. xref )."

sparser
"As p53 mutation was found in approximately 60% of the CRC patients [ xref ], we specifically focused on exploring the role of USP35-FUCA1 axis in p53 mutant DLD-1 and HT29 cells."

sparser
"To explore the role of USP35-FUCA1 axis in vivo, we subcutaneously inoculated the control (EV + shNC), USP35-overexpressed (USP35 + shNC), and USP35 overexpressed FUCA1-depleted (USP35 + shFUCA1-4) HT29 cells in the athymic nude mice, intraperitoneally injected water (H 2 O), single drug (OXA as a representative), or combined drugs (OXA + 5-FU) weekly into the mice, and routinely monitored the tumor growth."

sparser
"Next, we examined the USP35-FUCA1 axis in the human CRC tissues."

sparser
"Therefore, these results suggest that USP35 expression correlates well with FUCA1 expression in CRC patient samples, and USP35-FUCA1 axis contributes to CRC tumor growth and chemo-resistance in vivo."

sparser
"USP35-FUCA1 axis up-regulates nucleotide excision repair in CRC."

sparser
"Strikingly, we found that XPA silencing partially rescue the phenotype, reinforcing the possibility that USP35-FUCA1 axis controls chemo-resistance by regulating the expression of NER components (Fig. xref )."

sparser
"However, the detailed mechanism how USP35-FUCA1 regulates the NER warrants further investigation."

sparser
"Hence, our current results indicate that USP35-FUCA1 axis up-regulates NER in CRC cells, which may be a possible mechanism for USP35-FUCA1-mediated oxaliplatin resistance in CRC."

sparser
"Experiments detecting the change of autophagic flux and autophagic cell death will be of great help in further understanding the roles and mechanisms of USP35-FUCA1 axis in CRC."

sparser
"In searching for the potential mechanism of how USP35FUCA1 axis contributes to oxaliplatin resistance in CRC, we examined the expression of the main DNA repair pathway for platinum-induced DNA damage response (DDR)—the nucleotide excision repair (NER)."

sparser
"We found that NER components (e.g., XPC, XPA and ERCC1) was up-regulated by the USP35-FUCA1 axis and we considered it an underlying mechanism for USP35-FUCA1 axis-mediated oxaliplatin resistance in CRC."

sparser
"Nevertheless, whether USP35-FUCA1 axis promotes the expression of NER components at transcriptional levels, post-transcriptional modifications, translational levels, or post-translational modifications, warrants further investigation."

sparser
"Although our study has demonstrated that USP35FUCA1 axis confers resistance to 5-FU in CRC, we did not go further to explore the underlying mechanism."

sparser
"Given the enzymatic activity of USP35 and FUCA1, we provide an outlook that targeting USP35FUCA1 axis could be a plausible strategy for restricting tumor growth and chemo-resistance in CRC."

sparser
"Further investigations demonstrated that USP35 directly targets α-L-fucosidase 1 (FUCA1) for deubiquitination, and the USP35-FUCA1 axis elevates nucleotide excision repair (NER) components, culminating in platinum resistance [ xref ]."

"The interaction between endogenous USP35 and FUCA1 was also detected in LoVo and DLD-1 cells (Fig. 3E, F)."

"Moreover, we checked the interaction of endogenous USP35 and FUCA1 in CRC cells using proximity ligation assay (PLA)."

"The specific positive signals (shown in red) were observed in the cells, further indicating the physical association between USP35 and FUCA1 (Fig. 3G, H)."
