Abstract

Rapid proliferation is a hallmark of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and a major contributor to its recurrence. Aberrant ubiquitination has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer. In our preliminary studies, we identified Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2S (UBE2S) as a potential glioma biomarker, exhibiting close associations with glioma grade and protein phosphatase 1, regulatory subunit 105 (Ki67) expression levels. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remained elusive. NF-κB is an important signaling pathway that promotes GBM proliferation. Direct intervention targeting NF-κB has not yielded the expected results, prompting the exploration of new molecules for regulating NF-κB as a new direction.
