    PKM2 Promotes Pulmonary Fibrosis by Stabilizing TGF-β1 Receptor I and Enhancing TGF-β1 Signaling

    Researchers demonstrated that pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) promoted pulmonary fibrosis progression by directly interacting with Smad7 and reinforcing transforming growth factor–β1 (TGF-β1) signaling.

    Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Cells Sense Succinate to Stimulate Myoepithelial Cell Contraction

    Scientists discovered that pulmonary neuroendocrine cells sensed succinate, which then caused short-range ATP signals to contract the myoepithelial cells wrapped around airway submucosal glands.

    Abstract

    Transcription Factor AP2 Enhances Malignancy of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer through Upregulation of USP22 Gene Expression

    To investigate the underlying mechanism of ubiquitin-specific protease 22 (USP22) expression in NSCLC, researchers utilized luciferase reporters to identify potential transcription factor upregulating USP22 expression in human NSCLC cells.
