Ubiquitin-specific protease 22 (USP22) edits the histone code by deubiquitinating H2A and H2B as part of the mammalian SAGA (Spt-Ada-Gcn5) complex, and is required for transcriptional regulation and normal cell-cycle progression. Here, we show that USP22 affects the expression of p21 by altering far upstream element (FUSE)-binding protein 1 (FBP1) ubiquitination, as ablation of USP22 leads to increased FBP1 ubiquitination and decreased FBP1 protein occupancy at the p21 gene. Surprisingly, increased polyubiquitination of FBP1 does not alter its protein stability, but instead modulates the stable recruitment of FBP1 to target loci. Our results indicate a mechanism by which USP22 regulates cell proliferation and tumorigenesis.

Gastric cancer (GC) is an aggressive tumor type with an intricate pathogenesis and limited therapeutic options. Ubiquitin-specific protease 22 (USP22) is a protein implicated in cell proliferation, metastasis, and tumorigenesis. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing USP22 in GC are still not fully understood.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of Ubiquitin-Specific Peptidase 22 (USP22) on the inflammatory response mediated by BV-2 mouse microglia and explore the role of the PU box binding protein 1 (PU.1)/NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in the USP22-induced polarization of BV-2 cells.
Methods: The BV-2 mouse microglia line was cultured in vitro, and plasmid and siRNA transfection was performed to overexpress or knockdown USP22.

Our previous studies have demonstrated that ubiquitin-specific peptidase 22 (USP22) has the capacity to accelerate renal epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and promote the pathological progression of diabetic tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF) by regulating the ubiquitination of Snail1, an EMT transcription factor. Quercetin is a type of flavonol compound widely found in fruits and vegetables that has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-fibrosis effects. However, whether quercetin promotes the degradation of Snail1 and regulates the pathological progression of TIF by inhibiting USP22 requires further investigation.
