  • Title: Overexpression of the Ubiquitin-Specific Peptidase 9 X-Linked (USP9X) Gene is Associated with Upregulation of Cyclin D1 (CCND1) and Downregulation of Cyclin-Dependent Inhibitor Kinase 1A (CDKN1A) in Breast Cancer Tissue and Cell Lines.

    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND The role of the ubiquitin-specific peptidase 9 X-linked (USP9X) gene in breast cancer remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the role of USP9X in breast cancer tissue and cell lines. MATERIAL AND METHODS Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the expression levels of USP9X in 102 breast cancer tissue samples and 41 normal breast tissue samples. Overexpression of USP9X in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines were studied by USP9X lentivirus vector transfection. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/caspase-9 USP9X gene knockout was performed. Cell proliferation, growth, and survival were examined using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, the colony formation assay, flow cytometry assays, and a tumor xenograft study. RESULTS Immunohistochemistry showed that USP9X was significantly overexpressed in 93 of 102 (91.1%) breast cancer tissue samples compared with 41 normal breast tissue samples and was associated with tumor size ≥5.0 cm (P<0.05). USP9X overexpression in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer increased cell proliferation and survival, significantly reduced the number of cells in the G1-phase cells and increased the number of cells in the S-phase cells, which were reversed by CRISPR/caspase-9 USP9X gene knockout. Overexpression of USP9X upregulated the CCND1 gene encoding cyclin D1 and downregulated cyclin-dependent inhibitor kinase 1A (CDKN1A) gene in breast cancer cells, which were reversed by USP9X knockout. CONCLUSIONS Overexpression of USP9X was associated with upregulation of the CCND1 gene and downregulation of the CDKN1A gene in breast cancer tissue and cell lines.
