    Integrated Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Analysis Reveals Distinct Cellular and Transcriptional Modules Associated with Survival in Lung Cancer

    Researchers established a multi-omics atlas, integrating 52 single-cell RNA sequencing and 2342 public bulk RNA sequencing. They investigated their differences in genetic amplification, cellular compositions, and expression modules.

    ISM1 Protects Lung Homeostasis via Cell-Surface GRP78-Mediated Alveolar Macrophage Apoptosis

    Scientists reported that absence of isthmin 1 (ISM1) in mice led to increase in alveolar macrophages number and functional heterogeneity, with enduring lung inflammation, progressive emphysema, and significant lung function decline, phenotypes similar to COPD.

    Abstract

    The Histone Methyltransferase DOT1L Is a New Epigenetic Regulator of Pulmonary Fibrosis

    Disruptor of telomeric silencing-1 like (DOT1L), H3K79me3, and the profibrotic proteins levels were upregulated in the pulmonary fibrosis models both in vivo and in vitro.

    Inhibition of Rac1 Attenuates Radiation-Induced Lung Injury While Suppresses Lung Tumor in Mice

    By establishing a mouse model of radiation-induced lung injury and orthotopic lung tumor-bearing mouse model, investigators detected the role of Rac1 inhibition in the protection of radiation-induced lung injury and suppression of lung tumor.

    JMJD2C-Mediated Long Non-Coding RNA MALAT1/MicroRNA-503-5p/SEPT2 Axis Worsens Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    The authors explored the downstream mechanism of Jumonji domain containing protein 2C (JMJD2C) in NSCLC from the long non-coding RNA metastasis associated with lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1/microRNA-503-5p/septin 2 axis.

    PLOD3 Regulates the Expression of YAP1 to Affect the Progression of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer via the PKCδ/CDK1/LIMD1 Signaling Pathway

    Silencing procollagen-lysine, 2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase (PLOD3) promoted the cleavage of protein kinase C δ (PKCδ) in a caspase-dependent manner to generate a catalytically active fragment cleaved PKCδ, enhanced phosphorylation levels of CDK1, and LIMD1 but suppressed nuclear translocation of YAP1.

    Abstract

    Extracellular Vesicles Released by Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells Drive Invasion and Permeability in Non-tumorigenic Lung Epithelial Cells

    Secretion analysis revealed that cancer cells vary in their secretion level, with some cell lines having relatively low secretion rates.
