As deregulation of AURKB is observed in different tumors [4], to test whether USP29 is a global regulator of AURKB, we analyzed AURKB protein expression in neuroblastoma SKN-BE2, lung cancer A549 and colorectal cancer HCT116 cells with or without USP29 depletion. The gene discussed is AURKB; the disease is colorectal cancer.
