"A study has indicated that USP18 contributes to controlling carcinogenesis, as loss of USP18 function increases apoptosis and decreases cell proliferation by destabilization of the cyclin D1 protein 22.It remains, however, unclear so far whether the EFP, HERC5 and USP18 genes contribute to tumourigenesis through ISG15/ISGylation or other mechanisms."

"83 The absence of USP18 in the breast cancer cell line MCF-7 results in an increase in the induction of apoptosis by chemotherapy and treatment with IFN-α.27 Silencing USP18 in glioblastoma cells produces similar results,84 a finding suggesting that strengthening the IFN-I pathway by silencing USP18 elicits apoptosis in drug-treated cells with robust caspase-8 and caspase-3 activation independent of the mitochondrial pathway.27The direct effect of USP18 on tumor progression has been studied with leukocytes."
