"In addition, we provide experimental evidence that BMP6 pathway regulated by ALK2-PSMD14 axis induces chemoresistance of human colorectal cancer cells through upregulating ABC transporter genes, and higher expressions of PSMD14 and ALK2 genes are clinically associated with poor prognosis of human colorectal cancer patients."

"Since cancer stemness and chemoresistance have been recognized as key factors inducing tumorigenesis and tumor recurrence xref , xref , xref , xref , xref , we next examined whether the PSMD14-ALK2 axis in the BMP6 signaling pathway is involved in cancer stemness and chemoresistance of colorectal cancers."

"To further support the importance of the PSMD14-ALK2 axis in chemoresistance, however, we have to demonstrate why ABCA7 and ABCC4 genes are induced at 6 h upon BMP6 treatment, because endogenous ALK2 expression was increased at early time and subsequently decreased after 1 h upon BMP6 treatment ( xref b)."

"Since our present data indicates that PSMD14 plays an essential role in the BMP6 signaling pathway through deubiquitinating the ALK2 receptor, and this PSMD14-ALK2 axis is required for tumorigenesis and cancer stemness of colon cancers, we next investigated the correlation between PSMD14 and ALK2 expression in colorectal cancer cell lines and public microarray datasets of cancer patients."

"We here identified the deubiquitinating enzyme PSMD14 regulating the stability of the ALK2 type I receptor in the BMP6 signaling pathway and thus demonstrated the importance of the PSMD14-ALK2 axis in the BMP6 signaling pathway regarding the proliferation, cancer stemness, and chemoresistance of colon cancers ( xref )."

"In this study, we identified an essential role of deubiquitinating enzyme PSMD14 in the initiation of BMP6 signaling pathway through deubiquitinating the Smurf1-mediated BMP type I receptor ALK2 polyubiquitination and provide a basis for underlying mechanism of BMP6 pathway via ALK2-PSMD14 axis in tumorigenesis and stemness/chemoresistance of human colorectal cancer."
