Revealing the Biochemical Regulations of L-PGDS in Hepatic Insulin-Resistance using HepG2 cells.
(PubMed, Prostaglandins Other Lipid Mediat)
- "To study this L-PGDS downregulation, we employed MG132, chloroquine, cycloheximide, and immunoprecipitation to assess proteasomal degradation, autophagy, translational activity, and ubiquitination, respectively. In summary, L-PGDS downregulation possibly involves transcription-translation and/or subcellular localization pathways. However, further studies are required to delineate the molecular mechanism of L-PGDS downregulation and apply this knowledge to MASLD pathogenesis and treatment."

RNF20 promotes the progression of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma through regulating ubiquitination-dependent Phase separation of fus
(ASH 2025)
- "Furthermore, combined treatment of RNF20 deficiency and ibrutinib, a Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor, significantly declined DLBCL cell proliferation compared to the control group...MG132 treatment reversed this effect, indicating proteasome involvement...In conclusion, our results revealed that RNF20 induced the ubiquitination-dependent phase separation of FUS, which promoted the malignant progression of DLBCL. This underscores the potential of RNF20 as a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for DLBCL."

PARP1 facilitates transcriptional activity and stability of the BCL6 protein and is a therapeutic target in BCL6 expressing lymphomas
(ASH 2025)
- "While we showed that BCL6 is PARylated, BCL6 PARylation was not necessary for BCL6 TR,since reconstitution of PARP1 Crispr/Cas9-edited cells with wild type PARP1 or E988K PARP1 mutantsuppressed BCL6 reporter activity to levels observed in the non-manipulated 293T cells expressing BCL6.Since PARylation can regulate protein stability we performed cycloheximide (CHX) pulse-chaseexperiments showing progressive decrease in BCL6 protein levels over time, that was enhanced in thepresence of Olaparib and rescued by proteasome inhibitor MG132...Olaparib and Veliparib induced a pronounced decrease in colonyformation and cell viability as assessed by the MTS assay and potentiated similar effects of BCL6 inhibitor79-6. Both PARP1 inhibitors and BCL6 inhibitor 79-6 induced apoptosis and cell death in a cell line specificmanner. These combinations may be considered for clinical evaluation.Overall, for the first time our studies show that PARP1 plays an essential and direct role in..."

BTK regulates EZH2 stability in myeloid leukemia associated with down syndrome
(ASH 2025)
- "Although most ML-DS patients respond favorably to chemotherapy, outcomes remainpoor in relapsed or refractory cases, which highlights the need for novel therapeutic strategies.We previously demonstrated that dual inhibition of EZH2 and class I histone deacetylases (HDAC) byusing GSK126 and romidepsin synergistically suppressed ML-DS cell viability (Cicek et al., 2022)...Notably, BTK inhibition by Pirtobrutinib, a FDA-approved reversible BTK inhibitor,recapitulated the effects of combination treatment by reducing EZH2 protein level and inducing celldeath of relapsed ML-DS PDX cells via apoptosis. Proteosome inhibition with MG132 in the presence ofPirtobrutinib rescued EZH2 level, indicating that BTK inhibition reduces EZH2 stability via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Furthermore, BTK inhibition suppressed key E2F-related oncogenic targets,including c-MYC, Bcl-xL and MCL-1, while upregulating the cell cycle inhibitor p21.Together, these findings highlight BTK as a novel..."

Synergistic enhancement of APR-246 anti-leukemic activity through ENO1 inhibition in TP53- and FLT3-mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia
(ASH 2025)
- "HighENO1 expression correlated with shorter OS in TP53-mutant (HR 2.14, p = 0.008) and FLT3-ITD (HR 1.87, p= 0.013) cohorts.Functional loss-of-ENO1: shENO1 reduced clonogenicity by 48–64 % and increased APR-246 sensitivity(IC50 fold-reduction: MOLM-13 2.9, Kasumi-1 2.3; ZIP synergy 29–43).Ferroptosis signature: Combined ENO1 inhibition plus APR-246 elevated lipid-ROS 3.7-fold, decreasedGSH by 62 %, and triggered mitochondrial shrinkage/cristae loss—phenotypes reversed by ferrostatin-1.Molecular mechanism: RNA-seq revealed selective down-regulation of the glutathione/ferroptosis axis.ENO1 interacted with the E3-ligase NEDD4L; ENO1 loss augmented NEDD4L-mediated poly-ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of SLC7A11 and GPX4, whereas MG132 restored GPX4levels.Genotype independence: Synergy was observed irrespective of TP53 or FLT3 status, indicating a p53-independent metabolic vulnerability.ConclusionsENO1 is an adverse prognostic biomarker in AML whose enzymatic or..."

KMT2A::AF6 fusion protein localizes to PML nuclear bodies and undergoes ATO-induced degradation: A potential novel therapeutic approach for KMT2A::AF6-rearranged Acute Myeloid Leukemia
(ASH 2025)
- "Given that PML and its client proteins undergo proteasomal degradation upon arsenic trioxide(ATO) treatment via SUMO-dependent ubiquitination, we tested whether KMT2A::AF6 protein follows asimilar fate...Blocking the proteasomewith MG132 prevented this degradation, confirming that KMT2A::AF6, as well as PML, is degraded via theSUMO–ubiquitin–proteasome axis...This effect was partially reversed by N-acetylcysteine (NAC), suggesting a ROS-dependent mechanism, described to be the very first step by which ATO drives PML proteasomal-mediated degradation. Moreover, ATO treatment induced myeloid differentiation both in vitro and in exvivo patient-derived cells (PDXs), supporting a transcriptional change at support of a targeted KMT2A:.AF6fusion protein degradation mechanism.In vivo, ATO monotherapy (8 mg/kg) moderately delayed disease progression in KMT2A::AF6 PDX models,while its combination with low-dose cytarabine (20 mg/kg) significantly reduced leukemic burden andprolonged..."

Paralog interdependency between MEF2C and MEF2D sustains protein stability and leukemia maintenance in KMT2A-rearranged AML
(ASH 2025)
- "Proteasome inhibitor assays showed this degradation is prevented by MG132 treatment,implicating the ubiquitin-proteasome system...In a murine MLL-AF9 AML model, doxycycline-inducible expression of Peptide-54 significantly delayed diseaseprogression, reduced leukemia burden as assessed by bioluminescence imaging, and extended overallsurvival...We show that MEF2Dacts as a molecular chaperone to prevent CUL2-ZYG11B/ZER1-mediated degradation of MEF2C.Disrupting this interaction with a rationally designed competitive peptide induces degradation of bothparalogs, promotes differentiation, and suppresses AML progression in preclinical models. These findingshighlight a potential paradigm of transcription factor co-stabilization and suggest that targeting paraloginteractions may represent a therapeutically actionable vulnerability in high-risk leukemia."

The USP22-NAP1L1 deubiquitination axis in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes
(ASH 2025)
- "The dynamics of NAP1L1ubiquitination-dependent degradation were further assessed using proteasome inhibitor MG132 andprotein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX)... USP22 stabilizes the NAP1L1 protein through deubiquitination modification, therebypromoting the malignant progression of MDS. Targeting the USP22-NAP1L1 regulatory axis caneffectively inhibit disease progression, providing a potential novel therapeutic strategy for MDS."

The transcription factor ANAC017 links mitochondrial retrograde signaling with the ubiquitin-proteasome system to control mitochondrial function in Arabidopsis.
(PubMed, Plant Commun)
- "Loss of proteasome function through rpn1a mutation or MG132 treatment increased the abundance of TOM20 isoforms and induced mitochondrial stress marker genes...A second tier formed by ANAC053 and ANAC078 bound promoters of proteasome subunits, including RPN1a, and was required to restrain TOM20 accumulation. These findings establish a two step transcriptional circuit that engages the ubiquitin proteasome system to tune TOM abundance and coordinate protein import with organelle function."

Mechanistic Insights into Anti-Melanogenic Effects of Fisetin: PKCα-Induced β-Catenin Degradation, ERK/MITF Inhibition, and Direct Tyrosinase Suppression.
(PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
- "The proteasome inhibitor MG132 confirmed that fisetin accelerates β-catenin and MITF degradation. Additionally, inhibition of the PI3K/AKT pathway by LY294002 or the ERK pathway by PD98059 reversed fisetin's reduction of tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis, further verifying the participation of these pathways. Computational docking integrated with deep learning-based CNN scoring revealed that fisetin interacts with PKCα, β-catenin, tyrosinase, and TYRP1. Collectively, these findings suggest that fisetin exerts multi-targeted inhibitory effects on melanogenesis, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic and cosmetic agent for hyperpigmentation."

The ubiquitin system targets translocated EspH to proteasomal degradation.
(PubMed, Gut Microbes)
- "Moreover, we show that wild-type (EspHwt), but not the EspHK106R mutant, is subjected to degradation following translocation in an MG132-sensitive manner, indicating that the proteasome degrades the polyubiquitylated effector following translocation...These data reinforce the idea that EspH is polyubiquitylated and that the host proteasome degrades the translocated effector, possibly limiting its ability to toxicate the host cells. Additional implications of these effects on bacterial-host interactions are discussed."

Development of bifunctional PROTAC degraders targeting EGFR and immune microenvironment
(ESMO-IO 2025)
- "Co-treatment with proteasome (MG132) or E3 ligase inhibitors verified the ubiquitin-proteasome system dependency...In macrophages, E152 treatment downregulated M2 immunosuppressive markers (IL-10, TGF-β) and membrane expression of the immune checkpoint VISTA, indicating a shift from an immunosuppressive M2-like towards a pro-inflammatory M1-like phenotype.Conclusions This study successfully developed a novel bifunctional PROTAC capable of concurrently degrading EGFR in tumor cells and HRH1 in TAMs. This single-molecule approach achieves a "one-stone-two-birds" effect: directly inhibiting tumor cell growth via EGFR degradation and reprogramming the immunosuppressive TME by blocking HRH1-mediated M2 polarization.Legal entity responsible for the study The authors."

Discovery of a Proteolysis Targeting Chimera for TRKA and RET-derived oncoproteins.
(PubMed, Sci Rep)
- "Mechanistically, TPM3-TRKA degradation by compound 9 was dependent on CRBN-mediated polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation; accordingly, it was hindered by inhibitors of the proteasome (MG132) or Cullins (MLN4924), by dominant negative Cullin 4A mutant, and by free pomalidomide. Finally, a compound 9 derivative, compound 20, induced in vivo degradation of TMP3-TRKA in KM12 cells mouse xenografts. In conclusion, our study indicated that PROTAC-mediated degradation is an efficient strategy to intercept RET and TRKA oncogenic signaling."
