Vimentin plays important roles in the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In this study, we found that vimentin was highly expressed in human gastric cancer (GC) tissues and cell lines and significantly promoted cell growth, migration and invasion.

USP14 regulates autophagy by suppressing K63 ubiquitination of Beclin 1 [PDF]
The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy are two major intracellular degradative mechanisms that mediate the turnover of complementary repertoires of intracellular proteomes. Simultaneously activating both UPS and autophagy might provide a powerful strategy for the clearance of misfolded proteins.

USP14 activation promotes tumor progression in hepatocellular carcinoma
To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis and treatment of human primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), it is important to explore novel HCC-associated genes. In the present study, we examined the expression of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 14 (USP14) in patients with HCC using quantitative PCR and immunohistochemical techniques.

Facilitated Tau Degradation by USP14 Aptamers via Enhanced Proteasome Activity [PDF]
AbstractThe ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is the primary mechanism by which intracellular proteins, transcription factors and many proteotoxic proteins with aggregation-prone structures are degraded. The UPS is reportedly downregulated in various neurodegenerative disorders, with increased proteasome activity shown to be beneficial in many related ...

USP14 promotes tryptophan metabolism and immune suppression by stabilizing IDO1 in colorectal cancer
Indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is an attractive target for cancer immunotherapy. However, IDO1 inhibitors have shown disappointing therapeutic efficacy in clinical trials, mainly because of the activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR ...

Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 14 (USP14) is a proteasome-associated deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) involved in regulation of protein degradation and recycling of ubiquitin. USP14 consists of a Ubl domain connected to a USP domain via a flexible linker.

PSMD8 cooperates with USP14 to promote bladder cancer progression by inhibiting ferroptosis. [PDF]
The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is crucial for regulating protein stability and essential cellular functions, including cell survival and proliferation. Dysregulation of UPS components contributes directly to malignant tumor development. This study investigates the significance of the proteasome subunit PSMD8 in bladder cancer (BLCA) pathogenesis.

Exploring the Role of USP14 in CXCR4‐Mediated Neurodegeneration
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common dementias in today's society. While the cause is unknown, the accumulation of amyloid‐beta protein has been identified as the major factor promoting pathological changes in patients. Chemokine receptor expression, specifically CXCR4, has also been found to be upregulated in various regions in the ...

Loss of Usp14 results in reduced levels of ubiquitin in ataxia mice [PDF]
AbstractThe ataxia (axJ) mutation is a spontaneous recessive mutation that results in reduced expression of ubiquitin‐specific protease 14, Usp14. Mice homozygous for the axJ mutation are retarded for growth and exhibit several behavioral disorders, including a resting tremor and hindlimb paralysis. Although pathological defects appear to be limited to
