DUBs involved in stem cell factors, SRSs and ITAIM. DUBs can regulate the stem cell factors and the components of SRSs, promoting stemness of CSCs. Additionally, DUBs can affect ITAIMs directly by acting on cytokines, inhibitory immune checkpoints or other oncogenes. The combination of DUBs with substrates leads to deubiquitination and protects substrates from degradation. Therefore, the protein level of the substrate and the signaling pathways involved are upregulated. The arrow at the end of the line in the figure represents upregulation, and the horizontal line represents downregulation.
