    Autophagic Secretion of HMGB1 from Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Promotes Metastatic Potential of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells via NFκB Signaling

    Researchers reported that autophagy was upregulated in lung cancer-associated cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) compared to normal fibroblasts, and autophagy was responsible for the promoting effect of CAFs on non-small cell lung cancer cell migration and invasion.

    Inhaled Sphingosine Has No Adverse Side Effects in Isolated Ventilated and Perfused Pig Lungs

    Scientists tested whether sphingosine had any adverse effects in the respiratory tract when applied into isolated ventilated and perfused lungs. A four hour ex vivo lung perfusion run using minipig lungs was performed.

    Reduced B7-H3 Expression by PAX3-FOXO1 Knockdown Inhibits Cellular Motility and Promotes Myogenic Differentiation in Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma

    Researchers explored the relationship between PAX3-FOXO1 and B7-H3 and the biological roles of B7-H3 in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Quantitative real time PCR and flow cytometry revealed that PAX3-FOXO1 knockdown downregulated B7-H3 expression in all the selected cell lines, suggesting that PAX3-FOXO1 positively regulated B7-H3 expression.

    Involvement of C-Myc in Low Dose Radiation-Induced Senescence Enhanced Migration and Invasion of Unirradiated Cancer Cells

    The authors found that conditioned medium harvested from WI-38 lung fibroblasts and H1299 lung adenocarcinoma cells exposed to 0.1Gy to 1Gy could enhance the migration and invasion of unirradiated H1299 cells in both 2D and 3D culturing circumstances.

    Mechanistic Study of lncRNA UCA1 Promoting Growth and Cisplatin Resistance in Lung Adenocarcinoma

    Scientists explored the mechanism of lncRNA urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (UCA1) promoting cisplatin resistance in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). The UCA1 expression level in LUAD cell lines was detected by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
