UBASH3B antibody enabled the discovery of UBASH3B as a poor prognostic marker in prostate cancer (PCa):
Upregulation: mRNA and protein levels were significantly elevated in PCa compared to benign tissues (p < 0.05) .
Survival Correlation: High UBASH3B expression correlated with reduced 5-year survival rates (HR = 2.1, p = 0.003) .
The antibody facilitated immune cell infiltration studies in PCa using CIBERSORT and TIMER databases:
| Immune Cell Type | Correlation with UBASH3B | p-Value |
|---|---|---|
| Activated CD4+ memory T cells | Positive | 0.0274 |
| M2 macrophages | Positive | 0.0001 |
| Resting dendritic cells | Positive | <0.0001 |
| Neutrophils | Positive | 0.0499 |

UBASH3B antibody-based studies revealed its involvement in:
EGFR Regulation: Dephosphorylation of CBL ubiquitin ligase, stabilizing EGFR in triple-negative breast cancer .
Immune Signaling: Interaction with LCP2 (lymphocyte cytosolic protein 2) in PCa, influencing T-cell receptor pathways .
UBASH3B antibody helped validate its role in competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks:
Associated miRNAs: miR-200a-3p, miR-455-5p (downregulated in high UBASH3B PCa) .
lncRNA Partners: MIAT, LINC01297 (positively correlated with UBASH3B expression) .
UBASH3B’s phosphatase activity makes it a druggable target:
Inhibition: Reduces EGF-induced invasion in PC3 and DU145 prostate cancer cells (p < 0.01) .
Immune Modulation: Linked to 11 tumor-infiltrating immune cell types, suggesting combinational immunotherapy potential .
