| Using a genetic model to delete Ezh2 in KRAS-driven lung adenocarcinomas, investigators observed that Ezh2 haploinsufficient tumors were less lethal and lower grade than Ezh2 fully-insufficient tumors, which were poorly differentiated and metastatic. [Nature Communications] |

|
| Researchers investigated the potential role of GATA6 as a novel regulator of tracheal fibrosis. It was found that GATA6 and α-smooth muscle actin were obviously increased in tracheal fibrotic granulations and in TGFβ1-treated primary tracheal fibroblasts. [Cellular Signalling] |
|
|
|
| An in vivo model of radiation-induced lung injury and in vitro conditioned culture model was constructed to evaluate the effect of NLRP3/interleukin-1β on fibroblasts activation. [Respiratory Research] |
|
|
|
| The protective roles and mechanisms of Astaxanthin, a natural compound, in inflammatory injured lung epithelial cells were investigated. [Experimental Biology And Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Scientists demonstrated that the release of IL-27, MCP-1, and TNF-α from BEAS-2B cells was upregulated upon stimulation by conidia, while the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway was activated. [Scientific Reports] |
| |
|
|
| Researchers identified a critical role of the IKK/NF-κB signaling pathway in SCLC development. They revealed that IKK/NF-κB signaling played an important role in promoting SCLC, identifying the IKK/NF-κB pathway as a promising therapeutic target. [Cell Death & Differentiation] |
|
|
|
| Investigators isolated epithelial cells from the human lung or mammary gland and investigated their response to irreparable DNA damage and to mitotic checkpoints. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Scientists demonstrated that epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-induced protein changes in small extracellular vesicles were detectable in NSCLC patients and had prognostic significance. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers found that KU60019, a novel, and highly specific ATM kinase inhibitor interfered with the association of ATM with type II topoisomerases (TOP2) β and stabilized TOP2β-DNA cleavage complex, thereby impairing the repair of double-strand breaks, leading to accelerated cell death.

|
|
|
| The authors discuss the effects of oncogenic driver mutations on the efficacy of immune-checkpoint inhibitors and the immune tumor microenvironment, as well as the potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited to overcome the challenges of immunotherapy for oncogene-addicted NSCLC.

| Pliant Therapeutics, Inc. announced 12-week interim data from the 320 mg dose group of INTEGRIS-IPF, a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase IIa clinical trial of bexotegrast in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. [Pliant Therapeutics, Inc.] |
|

|
| Avalo Therapeutics, Inc. announced the completion of enrollment of the 80 patients targeted for the Phase II PEAK Trial evaluating AVTX-002 in patients with non-eosinophilic asthma. [Avalo Therapeutics, Inc.] |
