ECT2/PSMD14/PTTG1 axis promotes the proliferation of glioma through stabilizing E2F1

Abstract

In this study, we clarify a new mechanism by which ECT2 regulates the expression of PTTG1 and thus affects the proliferation of glioma cells: ECT2 influences the stability of E2F1 by regulating the expression of the deubiquitinating enzyme PSMD14, thereby affecting the expression of PTTG1. Intensive and extensive understanding of the mechanism of ECT2 in glioma proliferation may provide an opportunity for the development of new molecular therapeutic targets for glioma treatment.
