Aerobic glycolysis is a hallmark of metabolic reprogramming that contributes to cancer progression. PFKP is a rate‑limiting enzyme involved in aerobic glycolysis, which is overexpressed in various types of cancers. However, the underlying mechanisms and roles of the posttranslational modification of PFKP inTNBC remain unknown.  \nMethods To explore whether PFKP protein has a potential role in the progression ofTNBC, protein levels of PFKPinTNBC and normal breast tissues were examined by CPTAC database analysis, immunohistochemistry staining (IHC), and western blotting assay. Further CCK‑8 assay, colony formation assay, EDU incorporation assay, and tumor xeno‑ graft experiments were used to detect the effect of PFKP onTNBC progression. To clarify the role of the USP5‑PFKP pathway inTNBC progression, ubiquitin assay, co‑immunoprecipitation (Co‑IP), mass spectrometry‑based protein identification, western blotting assay, immunofluorescence microscopy, in vitro binding assay, and glycolysis assay were conducted.  \nResults Herein, we showed that PFKP protein was highly expressed inTNBC, which was associated with TNBC progression and poor prognosis of patients. In addition, we demonstrated that PFKP depletion significantly inhibited the TNBC progression in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, we identified that PFKP was a bona fide target of deubiquit‑ inase USP5, and the USP5‑mediated deubiquitination and stabilization of PFKP were essential for cancer cell aerobic glycolysis and TNBC progression. Moreover, we found a strong positive correlation between the expression of USP5 and PFKP inTNBC samples. Notably, the high expression of USP5 and PFKP was significantly correlated with poor clini‑ cal outcomes.  \nConclusions Our study established the USP5‑PFKP axis as an important regulatory mechanism ofTNBC progression and provided a rationale for future therapeutic interventions in the treatment ofTNBC.  \nKeywords TNBC, USP5, PFKP, Aerobic glycolysis, Cancer progression  \n*Correspondence: Fang‑Fang Tou [toufangfang@163.com](toufangfang@163.com)[ ](toufangfang@163.com)Zhen Zhang [nkzhenzhang@163.com](nkzhenzhang@163.com)  \nFull list of author information is available at the end of the article  \n© The Author(s) 2024.
