    Omega-3 Fatty Acid Epoxides Produced by PAF-AH2 in Mast Cells Regulate Pulmonary Vascular Remodeling

    The authors showed that ω-3 fatty acid-derived epoxides released from mast cells by PAF-AH2, an oxidized phospholipid-selective phospholipase A2, negatively regulated pulmonary hypertension.

    Abstract

    Direct Transcriptomic Comparison of Xenobiotic Metabolism and Toxicity Pathway Induction of Airway Epithelium Models at an Air–Liquid Interface Generated From Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Primary Bronchial Epithelial Cells

    Investigators reported a comparative analysis by TempoSeq, oligo-directed sequencing, of an iPSC-derived airway model with a primary bronchial airway model.

    Distinct Mutational Features Across Preinvasive and Invasive Subtypes Identified Through Comprehensive Profiling of Surgically Resected Lung Adenocarcinoma

    Scientists retrospectively analyzed the clinical, histopathological, and molecular data of 3,254 Chinese patients with preinvasive lesions, minimally invasive adenocarcinomas, and invasive lung adenocarcinoma. Molecular data were elucidated using a targeted 68-gene next-generation sequencing panel.

    Imbalanced Prostanoid Release Mediates Cigarette Smoke-Induced Human Pulmonary Artery Cell Proliferation

    Investigators demonstrated that cigarette smoke extract could induce imbalanced vasoactive prostanoid release by differentially modulating the expression of respective synthase genes in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells, thereby contributing to cell proliferation.

    A Microarray Study on the Expression of ANKRD49 in Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Its Clinicopathologic Significance

    Ankyrin repeat domain 49 (ANKRD49) protein in lung squamous cell carcinoma versus paired noncancerous lung tissues was tested and its clinical significance was evaluated through χ2 test, log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards model.

    Abstract

    PFKP Alleviates Glucose Starvation-Induced Metabolic Stress in Lung Cancer Cells via AMPK-ACC2 Dependent Fatty Acid Oxidation

    The authors demonstrated that the interaction of the platelet isoform of phosphofructokinase 1 (PFKP) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) was greatly enhanced upon glucose starvation, a process regulated by PFKP-associated metabolites.

    ABBV-011, A Novel, Calicheamicin-Based Antibody–Drug Conjugate, Targets SEZ6 to Eradicate Small Cell Lung Cancer Tumors

    Scientists screened a patient-derived xenograft library to identify small cell lung cancer as a tumor type with enhanced sensitivity to calicheamicin antibody–drug conjugates. They developed an antibody targeting seizure-related homolog 6 (SEZ6) that is rapidly internalized upon receptor binding and, when conjugated to the calicheamicin linker drug, drives potent tumor regression in vitro and in vivo.
