Article Title: USP44 Stabilizes MAOB via Deubiquitination to Inhibit Cisplatin Resistance in Lung Adenocarcinoma
doi: 10.1155/ijog/7433804
Figure Lengend Snippet: MAOB knockdown reverses the effects of USP44 overexpression on DDP resistance, proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and EMT in LUAD cells. A549‐DDP and PC9‐DDP cells were divided into three groups: pcDNA + siNC, USP44 + siNC, and USP44 + siMAOB. (A, B) Western blot was used to validate the efficiency of MAOB knockdown in USP44‐overexpressing A549‐DDP and PC9‐DDP cells. (C) Colony formation assay was used to assess cell proliferation. (D) Flow cytometry analysis of cell apoptosis. (E, F) Transwell assay was performed to evaluate cell migration and invasion. (G, H) Western blot analysis of E‐cadherin, N‐cadherin, and vimentin expression. Data are presented as mean ± SD from n ≥ 3 independent biological replicates. ∗ p < 0.05; ∗∗ p < 0.01; ∗∗∗ p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: The parental LUAD cell lines (A549 and PC9) and their corresponding DDP‐resistant derivatives (A549‐DDP and PC9‐DDP) were obtained from Procell Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Wuhan, China).
