UBQLN4 (Ubiquilin 4)

The Gleason score of the high-risk group showed a significant difference from that of the low-risk group after clinical data analysis (P < 0.05). The prognostic risk model and nomogram constructed based on the immune-cholesterol-related genes had a great prognostic performance for prostate cancer.

These findings uncover a novel LncDARS-AS1/ATP1A1 axis that promotes osteosarcoma metastasis through inhibition of ubiquitin-mediated degradation and provide a rationale for repurposing digoxin in osteosarcoma therapy. ATP1A1 emerges as a promising target for anti-metastatic intervention.

This study systematically analyzed autophagy-related genes (ARGs) and developed prognostic predictors related to OS for patients with AML, thus more accurately assessing the prognosis of AML patients. This not only helps to improve the prognostic assessment and therapeutic outcome of patients, but may also provide new help for future research and clinical applications.

We validated that UBQLN4 promotes proliferation and invasion of NSCLC cells by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway, thereby facilitating the progression of NSCLC. These findings underscore the potential of targeting UBQLN4 as a therapeutic strategy for NSCLC.

Ubiquilin-4 may contribute to immune escape in gastric cancer by upregulating programmed death ligand 1 expression in tumor cells through Notch signaling activation. Thus, ubiquilin-4 could serve as a predictive marker for programmed death ligand 1 inhibitor therapy response in gastric cancer.

Finally, we show that loss of UBQLN1 drives tumorigenesis and lung metastasis in mice which are associated with an increase in the expression of MYC, proteins involved in cell cycle progression, and EMT. Taken together, our results suggest for the first time a novel role of UBQLN1 and UBQLN2 in regulating MYC in lung adenocarcinoma cells.

In this study, we systematically analyzed the expression and prognostic value of iron-sulfur protein family genes in KIRC. More importantly, NFU1, ISCA1, ISCA2, and C1ORF69 are expected to become potential therapeutic targets for KIRC, as well as potential prognostic markers for improving the survival rate and prognostic accuracy of KIRC.

Ovarian cancer cell lines with high UBQLN4 mRNA levels were platinum-based chemotherapy resistant, while they were more sensitive to poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi). Our findings highlight the utilities of UBQLN4 as a significant pan-cancer theranostic factor and a precision oncology biomarker for DDR-related drug resistance.

Our results showed that GIlncSig serves as a potential independent prognosis factor to predict HCC patients' prognosis for exploring potential mechanism and therapy strategy. Besides, LINC00501 plays an important role in the progression of HCC, which may be a potential therapy target.

Lung adenocarcinoma may be distinguished from squamous cell carcinoma by the molecular profile of exosomes in the plasma samples. And, proteomics analysis suggested that cholesterol metabolism may play an important role of cancer progress in NSCLC.

Our findings revealed a previously unappreciated role of ABZ in antitumor immunity by inducing ubiquitin-mediated PD-L1 protein degradation, identified predictors for assessing the therapeutic efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy, and provided novel therapeutic possibility by combination treatment of ABZ and CD73 blockade in cancers.
