    Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal disease with a 5-year survival rate of less than 9% and is projected to become the second leading cause of cancer death by 2030


    Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal disease with a 5-year survival rate of less than 9% and is projected to become the second leading cause of cancer death by 2030


    Recently, an academic paper titled "USP25 promotes pathological HIF-1-driven metabolic reprogramming and is a potential therapeutic target in pancreatic cancer" published in Nature Communications found that USP25 acts as a basic DUB required for PDAC tumor growth and viability.


    In the present study, to identify enzymatically active DUBs in PDAC, we developed an analytical pipeline combining ubiquitin-ABPs with mass spectrometry, combining activity-based proteomics with patient-derived PDAC organoids and mice Combined loss-of-function genetic screening

    The study further found that USP25 is a master regulator of glycolysis by regulating the stability and transcriptional activity of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)

    In conclusion, this study identified USP25 as a potential therapeutic target for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
