الملخص:<p>This study investigates the role of ubiquitination-related genes in pancreatic cancer (PC) using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), spatial transcriptomics, and multi-omics approaches. scRNA-seq data (GSE155698) from PC samples identified 12 cell types, with endothelial cells exhibiting high ubiquitination scores (High_ubiquitin-Endo) and enriched interactions with fibroblasts/macrophages via WNT, NOTCH, and integrin pathways. Spatial transcriptomics (GSE235315) validated cell-type localization. Mendelian randomization (SMR) analysis prioritized TRIM9 as a PC-protective gene, downregulated in tumors and correlated with better survival. WGCNA revealed TRIM9-co-expressed modules linked to prognosis. A machine learning-based prognostic model (CoxBoost+RSF) integrating seven genes (TSPAN6, TSC1, RNF167, PBXIP1, LRRC49, KATNAL2, IGF2BP2) stratified patients into high/low-risk groups with distinct survival, mutation burdens, and immune infiltration. TRIM9 overexpression suppressed PC cell proliferation/migration in vitro, while knockdown enhanced malignancy. Mechanistically, TRIM9 promoted K11-linked ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of HNRNPU, dependent on its RING domain. In vivo, TRIM9 overexpression reduced tumor growth, rescued by HNRNPU co-expression. Integrated analyses highlight TRIM9 as a tumor suppressor and prognostic biomarker, mediated via ubiquitination-dependent regulation of HNRNPU stability. This work provides insights into ubiquitination-driven PC pathogenesis and therapeutic targeting.</p>
