Human health is endangered by the occurrence and progression of urological cancers, including renal cell carcinoma, prostate cancer and bladder cancer, which are usually associated with the activation of oncogenic factors and inhibition of cancer suppressors. The primary mechanism for protein breakdown in cells is the ubiquitin-proteasome system, whilst deubiquitinases contribute to the reversal of this process. However, both are important for protein homeostasis. Deubiquitination may also be involved in the control of the cell cycle, proliferation and apoptosis, and dysregulated deubiquitination is associated with the malignant transformation, invasion and metastasis of urologic malignancies. Therefore, a comprehensive summary of the mechanisms underlying deubiquitination in urological cancers may provide novel strategies and insights for diagnosis and treatment. The present review aimed to methodically clarify the role of deubiquitinating enzymes in urinary system cancers as well as their prospective application prospects for clinical treatment.
