miR-26a-5p Attenuates Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Diabetic Retinopathy through the USP14/NF-κB Signaling Pathway by Jie Bian, Weizhong Ge, Zhengmei Jiang

“…Western blotting was performed to quantify cytochrome c protein level in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of Müller cells and to measure protein levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), ubiquitin-specific peptidase 14 (USP14), as well as factors associated with NF-κB signaling (p-IκBα, IκBα, p-p65, and p65) in Müller cells or murine retinal tissues. …”

EGFR inhibition augments the therapeutic efficacy of the NAT10 inhibitor Remodelin in Colorectal cancer by Yongbin Zheng, Dan Song, Ming Guo, Chenhong Wang, Mingzhen Ma, Gongcai Tao, Licui Liu, Xiaobo He, Fengyu Cao, Dan Luo, Qingchuan Zhao, Zhongyuan Xia, Yanxin An

“…Moreover, we observed that 5-Fluorouracil promoted the interaction between NAT10 and UBR5, which increased the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of NAT10, leading to ERRFI1 downregulation and EGFR reactivation. …”
