USP17 is upregulated in several cancers, indicating that USP17 might play essential functions in tumor development. However, the function of USP17 in osteosarcoma is still unknown. Our work aimed to investigate the function of USP17 in osteosarcoma. We found that the expression of USP17 was upregulated in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines, including MG-63 and U2OS. Several functional experiments, such as colony formation analysis, Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, wound healing analysis, and transwell assay, showed that USP17 promoted cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Moreover, we found that USP17 facilitated migration and invasion through promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition. SMAD4 has been found to regulate epithelial-mesenchymal transition, co-immunopurification, and glutathione S-transferase pull-down analysis demonstrated that USP17 interacted with SMAD4. Furthermore, USP17 stabilized SMAD4 through its deubiquitinase activity. In conclusion, this study shows that USP17 enhances osteosarcoma cell proliferation and invasion through stabilizing SMAD4.
