USP14 inhibition by degrasyn induces YAP1 degradation and suppresses the progression of radioresistant esophageal cancer by Fang Yuan, Juan Xu, Lingmei Xuan, Chan Deng, Wei Wang, Rong Yang

“…Furthermore, the combination of DGS and X-ray irradiation strongly induced DNA damage in radioresistant ESCA cell lines by increasing the phosphorylation levels of H2AX (γ-H2AX) and checkpoint kinase 1/ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated-and-Rad3-related kinase (CHK1/ATR) signaling. Animal experiments confirmed the effective role of the DGS and X-ray combined treatment in reducing tumor growth and irradiation tolerance of ESCA in vivo with undetectable toxicity. …”
