Steps 1-2: The designed DUB knockout sgRNA library, which consists of an entire set of genes encoding USPs, was co-transfected with Cas9 into HeLa-cis R cells (day 1). Step 3: The cells were placed under puromycin selection (2 µg/mL) and incubated for 3 days (days 2-5). Step 4: The transfected cells were harvested and lysed, and protein was isolated. Steps 5-6: Protein concentration was estimated by Bradford reagent, and equal concentrations of all DUBKO cell lysates were loaded on SDS-PAGE and screened for DUB candidates regulating endogenous expression pattern of MAST1 using Western blot (WB) analysis. (B) Equal protein concentrations from the cell lysates from (A) were subjected to Western blotting to determine the endogenous MAST1 protein level. For each blot, HeLa-cis R cells co-transfected with scrambled sgRNA and Cas9 served as the mock control. GAPDH was used as a loading control. The protein band intensities were estimated using ImageJ software with reference to the GAPDH control for each individual sgRNA (MAST1/GAPDH) and presented below the blot. (C) The effects of the targeting the putative DUB candidates on the MAST1 protein level were estimated by Western blotting. The protein band intensities were estimated using ImageJ software with reference to the GAPDH control band for each individual sgRNA (MAST1/GAPDH) ) and presented below the blot. (D) The interactions between putative DUB candidates and MAST1 by co-immunoprecipitation analysis. Myc-MAST1 and DUBs (Flag-USP1, Flag-USP28, and Flag-USP44) were transfected into HEK293 cells. (E) The interaction between endogenous USP9X and MAST1 by co-immunoprecipitation analysis. Cell lysates were immunoprecipitated and immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies. (F) A Venn diagram showing the overlapping DUB candidate based on cisplatin cytotoxicity, loss-of-function effect on MAST1 protein level, and interaction analysis with MAST1.

    Combination of pimozide and lestaurtinib inhibits MAST1 protein and cisplatin-resistant tumor growth more than either single treatment. (A) The effect of USP1 inhibition on MAST1 protein level was determined by treating HeLa-cis R cells with increasing concentrations of pimozide for 24 h. The protein expression of MAST1 was determined by Western blotting. GAPDH was used as an internal loading control. (B) The effect of combination treatment of pimozide and lestaurtinib on MAST1-mediated MEK phosphorylation. HeLa-cis R cells were treated with pimozide (50 µM) and lestaurtinib (200 nM) in the presence of sub-lethal doses of cisplatin (5 µg/mL) for 24 h. The activity of MAST1 was assessed by a Western blot analysis of the phospho-MEK1 and phospho-ERK levels. GAPDH was used as an internal loading control. (C, D) The effect of combined treatment with pimozide and lestaurtinib on (C) cisplatin sensitivity (n = 3) (D) and cell viability in A549-cis R and HeLa-cis R cells (n = 4).

(E) Combination index (CI) plots for the synergistic effect of pimozide and lestaurtinib in A549-cis R and HeLa-cis R cells.

Data are presented as the mean and standard deviation of three independent experiments (n = 3). Two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test was used with the indicated P values. (I) Xenografts were generated by subcutaneously injecting A549-cis R cells into the right flanks of NSG mice (n = 4). Mice were treated with pimozide (10 mg/kg), lestaurtinib (20 mg/kg), and cisplatin (5 mg/kg) beginning 26 days after xenograft implantation, and tumor size was monitored.
