Abstract
BackgroundThe 26S proteasome non-ATPase regulatory subunit 11 is a multiprotein complex involved in the ATP-dependent degradation of ubiquitinated proteins, and PSMD11 plays a key role in the regulation of embryonic stem cell proteasome activity. However, the role of PSMD11 in hepatocellular carcinoma has not been studied. In this study, it was found that the expression of PSMD11 in HCC tissues was significantly higher than that in para-cancerous tissues, and was associated with poor prognosis. The results of in vitro experiments showed that PSMD11 knockdown could effectively inhibit the proliferation and apoptosis of hepatoma cell lines, and flow cytometry showed that the G0/G1 phase was significantly prolonged. Through protein spectrometry, immunoprecipitation and in vitro experiments, it was found that PSMD11 can promote the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma through regulating the ubiquitination of CDK4 and enhancing its protein stability. This study explores the mechanism of action of PSMD11 in hepatocellular carcinoma and provides new insights for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
