Inhibition of Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 14 Suppresses Cell Proliferation and Synergizes with Chemotherapeutic Agents in Neuroblastoma.


ABSTRACT: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial malignant solid tumor in children, and drug resistance is a major reason for poor outcomes. Elevated proteasome activity plays an important role in neuroblastoma tumor development and resistance to conventional chemotherapy. Ubiquitin-specific protease 14 (USP14), one of three deubiquitinases associated with the regulatory subunit of the proteasome, is emerging as a potential therapeutic target in multiple tumor types. However, the role of USP14 in neuroblastoma is yet to be elucidated. We found that USP14 inhibition in neuroblastoma via knockdown or a specific inhibitor such as b-AP15 suppressed cell proliferation by inducing cell apoptosis. Furthermore, b-AP15 significantly inhibited neuroblastoma tumor growth in NGP and SH-SY5Y xenograft mouse models. For combination treatment, b-AP15 plus conventional chemotherapeutic agents such as doxorubicin or VP-16 resulted in synergistic antitumor effects on neuroblastoma. Our study demonstrates that USP14 is required for cell viability and is a novel therapeutic target in neuroblastoma. Moreover, USP14 inhibition may add value in combination therapy due to its powerful synergistic effects in treating neuroblastoma.
