Although USP10 has been reported to regulate p53 localization and stability by deubiquitinating p53 directly [24], our data showed that USP10, unlike UCHL1, is widely expressed in both normal tissues and breast cancer cell lines, and no any expression correlation in mRNA level between USP10 and UCHL1 was found in breast cancer, indicating UCHL1 is mainly responsible for p53 stability in breast cancer. This evidence concerns the gene TP53 and breast carcinoma.
