Cancer cells in circulation are termed circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Primary tumor metastasis is likely due to CTCs released into the bloodstream. These CTCs extravasate and form fatal metastases in different organs. Analyses of CTCs are clarifying the biological understanding of metastatic cancers. These data are also helpful to monitor disease progression and to inform the development of personalized cancer treatment-based liquid biopsy. However, CTCs are a rare cell population with 1-10 CTCs per ml and are difficult to isolate from blood. Numerous approaches to detect CTCs have been developed based on the physical and biological properties of the cells. The present review summarizes the progress made in detecting CTCs.Ubiquitin-specific peptidase (USP)18 belongs to the USP family, and is involved in cleaving and removing ubiquitin or ubiquitin-like molecules from their target molecules. Recently, increasing evidence has suggested that USP18 is constitutively expressed in different types of human tumors, and ectopic expression or downregulation of USP18 expression may contribute to tumorigenesis. However, the role of USP18 in uterine cervical cancer (UCC) remains unclear. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate USP18 expression in a human tissue microarray constructed using UCC and non-cancer cervical tissues, and to determine the potential role and molecular mechanism by which USP18 is implicated in the tumor biology of human UCC HeLa cells. Microarray analysis demonstrated that USP18 protein expression was downregulated in tumor tissues compared with in normal tissues. In addition, in vitro analysis revealed that USP18-knockdown markedly promoted the proliferation, colony formation, migration and aggressiveness of HeLa cells. Mechanistic analysis demonstrated that USP18-knockdown increased the levels of Bcl-
