A novel USP4 inhibitor that suppresses colorectal cancer stemness by promoting β-catenin and Twist1 degradation by Fengtian Li, Yi Zhou, Xinyue Lin, Yaxin Zhang, Qingyong Hu, Enen Zhao, Huali Li, Xingyan Pan, Feng Shu, Kun Zhang, Chengmei Huang, Na Tang, Wenting Liao

“…USP4 promoted stemness by stabilizing the β-catenin and Twist1 proteins in CRC cells. A natural small molecule product U4-I05 diminished the stem-like features of CSCs and enhanced their sensitivity to oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil by targeting inhibition of its deubiquitinating enzyme activity through binding the catalytic domain of USP4 (311 cysteine site) at nanomolar concentrations, triggering proteasome-mediated degradation of β-catenin and Twist1. …”
