"Interestingly, Zhang et al. showed that pharmacological inhibition of USP13 by a small-molecule inhibitor, spautin-1, markedly downregulated MCL1 protein levels and sensitized ovarian and lung cancer cells to ABT-263, a selective antagonist of BCL-2 and BCL-XL.We selected DUB3 as an ideal target in ovarian cancer due to its oncogenic functions in various cancer subtypes ."

"We confirmed the siRNA screen results by transfecting each of the four oligos against USP13 into HEK293T cells, and indeed found that USP13 knockdown decreased the endogenous protein levels of MCL1, while modulating USP9X or OTUB2 with different siRNAs had no consistent effects on MCL1 expression."
