| 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. [Cell Death & Disease] |

|
| The authors investigated the role of miR-30a in the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells remodeling of pulmonary arterial hypertension. [Molecular Therapy-Nucleic Acids] |

|
|
| 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. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Scientific Reports] |

|
|
| Scientists defined a new signaling pathway that regulated the transcription and expression of PD-L1 upon TGF-β treatment, which might have a significant impact on research into the application of immunotherapy in treating lung cancer. [Experimental and Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Aging-Us] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Cancer Cell International] |
|
|
|
| Researchers recently investigated the antitumour effect of digoxin, a well-established drug for treating heart failure, against nonsmall cell lung cancer A549 and H1299 cells. [Bioscience Reports] |
|
|
|
| The aim of the current investigation was to develop Poly (D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles (NPs) to sustain the brigatinib release for prolong time period and to examine the antitumor effect of the optimized NPs. [Drug Development and industrial Pharmacy] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss responses of the epithelium that promote airway immunopathology, with a focus on miRNAs that contribute to the breakdown of essential epithelial functions. [Immunological Reviews] |
|
|
|
| The authors provide a comprehensive review of published articles on autophagy in the context of lung cancer to have a complete view of the role of autophagy in lung cancer and its possible treatments. [Cell Biology International] |
