Deubiquitylase USP52 Promotes Bladder Cancer Progression by Modulating Ferroptosis through Stabilizing SLC7A11/xCT.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BLCA) is a prevalent cancer with high case-fatality rates and a substantial economic burden worldwide. Understanding its molecular underpinnings to guide clinical management is crucial. Ferroptosis, a recently described non-apoptotic form of cell death, is initiated by the lethal accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation products. Despite growing interest, the roles and vulnerabilities determining ferroptosis sensitivity in BLCA remain unclear. Re-analysis of single-cell RNA data reveals a decrease in high-ferroptosis cancer cells as BLCA advances. USP52/PAN2 is identified as a key regulator of ferroptosis in BLCA through an unbiased siRNA screen targeting 96 deubiquitylases (DUBs). Functionally, USP52 depletion impedes glutathione (GSH) synthesis by promoting xCT protein degradation, increasing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis susceptibility, thus suppressing BLCA progression. Mechanistically, USP52 interacts with xCT and enzymatically cleaves the K48-conjugated ubiquitin chains at K4 and K12, enhancing its protein stability. Clinical BLCA samples demonstrate a positive correlation between USP52 and xCT expression, with high USP52 levels associated with aggressive disease progression and poor prognosis. In vivo, USP52 depletion combined with ferroptosis triggers imidazole ketone Erastin (IKE) synergistically restrains BLCA progression by inducing ferroptosis. These findings elucidate the role of the USP52-xCT axis in BLCA and highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting USP52 and ferroptosis inducers in BLCA.
