Figure Lengend Snippet: Phosphorylation-mimicking p62 attenuated USP10-KD-induced cell death. A , SH-SY5Y cells stably expressing WT-p62 (W), p62-S349E (E) or p62-S349A (A) or the vector plasmid (V) were established. These SH-SY5Y cells were transfected with USP10-siRNA (USP10-2) or control (NT) by Lipofectamine RNAiMAX. Transfected cells were treated with 0.4 mM dopamine or DMSO for 8 h, and the whole cell lysates were characterized by Western blotting using indicated antibodies. B , the indicated SH-SY5Y cells were transfected with USP10-siRNA (USP10-2) or control (NT) by Lipofectamine RNAiMAX. Transfected cells were treated with 0.4 mM dopamine or DMSO for 12 h. Cells were treated with CCK-8 solution for 1 h, and culture medium was prepared from CCK-8-treated cells. The absorbance (485 nm) of culture medium was then measured with an absorbance meter (TriStar LB 941). The ratio of absorbance obtained from cells relative to that of the control cells (V) transfected with siNT (NT) treated with DMSO was presented as the mean and SD from three samples. ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001. C , the indicated SH-SY5Y cells were transfected with USP10-siRNA (USP10-2) or control (NT) by Lipofectamine RNAiMAX. Transfected cells were treated with either 0.4 mM dopamine or DMSO for 8 h, and then the cells were stained with anti-cleaved caspase-3 and Hoechst 33258. The staining was evaluated by a fluorescence microscope. The ratio of cells with cleaved caspase-3 staining relative to total cells measured by the number of nuclei was presented as the mean and SD of seven samples in ( C ). The significance of the differences was assessed by Brown–Forsythe and Welch ANOVA followed by Dunnett's T3 multiple comparisons test. ∗ p < 0.05; ∗∗ p < 0.01; ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001. D , the current model of USP10 regulation of Nrf2-dependent antioxidant activity in neuronal cells. USP10 activates the antioxidant activity of Nrf2 through two mechanisms. First, USP10 promotes phosphorylation of p62 (pp62-S349) via an unknown molecule (X), such as a phosphatase or kinase. Second, USP10 promotes the dopamine-induced translation of Nrf2 through inhibition of SG formation and/or deubiquitination of ribosomal proteins. NS, Not significant; USP10, ubiquitin-specific protease 10.
