    BCL6 Is Regulated by the MAPK/ELK1 Axis and Promotes KRAS-Driven Lung Cancer

    Investigators identified B cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) as a lynchpin in KRAS-driven lung cancer, revealing a crucial role of BCL6 in promoting KRAS-addicted lung cancer and suggested BCL6 as a therapeutic target for the treatment of this intractable disease.

    Abstract

    Effects of Oxygen on the Response of Mitochondria to X-irradiation and Reactive Oxygen Species-Mediated Fibroblast Activation

    Scientists investigated whether O2 concentration affected the response of mitochondria to X-rays radiation, which was associated with tumor microenvironment formation via fibroblast activation in radiation-related tumors.

    Abstract

    SNORD88C Guided 2′-O-methylation of 28S rRNA Regulates SCD1 Translation to Inhibit Autophagy and Promote Growth and Metastasis in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Researchers verified that SNORD88C was up-regulated in tissue and plasma and served as a non-invasive diagnostic biomarker. They confirmed that SNORD88C promoted proliferation and metastasis of NSCLC in vitro and in vivo.
