Abstract
USP7 is a deubiquitinating enzyme that involves the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) to maintain regulation of protein synthesis and degradation. The well-known substrate of USP7 is the Mdm2-p53 complex. In fact, several studies have reported that functional inhibition of USP7 induces cancer cell apoptosis through activation of p53. However, the contribution of oxidative or endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which is commonly induced by inhibition of the UPS for USP7 inhibitor-mediated apoptosis in cancer cells, has not been investigated. In contrast to previous reports, we show that p53 is not critical during USP7 inhibitor-induced apoptosis in several cancer cells. Inhibition of deubiquitinating enzyme activities by USP7 inhibitors causes ER stress by accumulating polyubiquitinated proteins in cancer cells. Furthermore, we demonstrate that USP7 inhibitors increase intracellular reactive oxygen species and mainly cause cancer cell apoptosis. Taken together, our results reveal that oxidative and ER stress, rather than the Mdm2-p53 axis, mainly contributes to USP7 inhibitor-mediated apoptosis in cancer cells.
