Furthermore, the expression level of USP9X is positively related to LATS expression but negatively associated with the expression of YAP/TAZ in multiple tumor tissues, such as pancreatic cancer and breast cancer, demonstrating that USP9X potentiates LATS kinase in suppressing tumor growth (Toloczko et al., 2017). The gene discussed is USP9X; the disease is pancreatic neoplasm.
