"2 In addition, USP18 has been found to inhibit TRAIL-induced apoptosis independently of the deISGylation pathway.91 Furthermore, the depletion of USP18 leads to a strong increase in the levels and activity of miR-7, and this activity in turn decreases the expression of EGFR, leading to apoptosis and control of cancer cells.92Hong et al.93 found that IFN-γ can induce USP18 in tumor cells and that this protein plays an important role in inhibiting tumorigenesis and maintaining antitumor immunity."
