Core Tip This study reveals for the first time that IQGAP1 drives cholangiocarcinoma progression by recruiting ubiquitin-specific peptidase 28 to stabilize MCM3 protein, inhibiting its ubiquitination. This stabilization activates the Nrf2 pathway, alleviating oxidative stress and suppressing apoptosis, thereby promoting tumor cell survival and growth. Inhibition of MCM3 reverses these effects. The findings identify IQGAP1 as a key regulator of the MCM3/Nrf2 axis and a promising therapeutic target.
