ABSTRACT
STAM Binding Protein Like 1 (STAMBPL1), functions as a deubiquitinase (DUB) and plays a significant role in various types of cancers. However, its effect as a DUB participating in the HCC tumorigenesis and progression still unknown. In the study, the upregulation and strong prognosis value of STAMBPL1 were identified in HCC patients. Functionally, STAMBPL1 significantly promoted HCC cells proliferation and metastasis, and it interacts with TRAF2 and stabilize it via the deubiquitination at the K63 residue. The TRAF2 upregulation stabilized by STAMBPL1 overexpression transfers of P65 protein into the nucleus and activates the WNT/PI3K/ NF-kb signaling pathway. The 251-436 sites of STAMBPL1 particularly interact with the 294-496 sites of TRAF2, thereby exerting the function of DUB and removing the ubiquitin molecules attached to TRAF2. Our research unveiled a new function of STAMBPL1 in mediating TRAF2 deubiquitination and stabilization, thereby activating the WNT/PI3K/NF-kb signaling pathway, suggesting its potential as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for HCC.
