    Novel Host Pathways Govern Epithelial Cell Invasion of Aspergillus fumigatus

    Scientists used transcriptome sequencing to determine the transcriptional response of the A549 type II alveolar epithelial cell line to infection with strains CEA10 and Af293, two clinical isolates of A. fumigatus.

    An rRNA Fragment in Extracellular Vesicles Secreted by Human Airway Epithelial Cells Increases the Fluoroquinolone Sensitivity of P. aeruginosa

    Researchers showed that extracellular vesicles secreted by primary human alveolar epithelial cells transfered multiple distinct sRNA fragments to P. aeruginosa that were predicted to target the three subunits of the fluoroquinolone efflux pump MexHI-OpmD, thus increasing antibiotic sensitivity.

    Abstract

    Alveolar Epithelial Cells Are Competent Producers of Interstitial Extracellular Matrix with Disease Relevant Plasticity in a Human In Vitro 3D Model

    Investigators examined the capacity of alveolar epithelial cells to produce extracellular matrix and thereby directly contribute towards remodeling in chronic lung diseases.

    Heterologous Production of the D-Cycloserine Intermediate O-Acetyl-L-Serine in a Human Type II Pulmonary Cell Model

    Scientists determined D-cycloserine to be the optimal candidate for anti-tuberculosis cell therapy due to its effectiveness, relatively short biosynthetic pathway, and its low-resistance incidence.

    SOX9 Drives KRAS-Induced Lung Adenocarcinoma Progression and Suppresses Anti-Tumor Immunity

    SRY-box transcription factor 9 (SOX9) consistently drove organoid growth in vitro, but SOX9-promoted tumor growth was significantly attenuated in immunocompromised mice compared to syngeneic mice.

    Abstract

    TRIM17-Mediated Ubiquitination and Degradation of RBM38 Promotes Cisplatin Resistance in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Researchers screened for chemosensitivity-regulating tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins using cisplatin (CDDP)-resistant NSCLC cell lines. They showed that TRIM17 was upregulated in CDDP-resistant NSCLC cells and tumors compared to CDDP-sensitive counterparts.

    Abstract

    KLF11 Regulates Lung Adenocarcinoma Ferroptosis and Chemosensitivity by Suppressing GPX4

    Investigators reported that KLF transcription factor 11 (KLF11) inhibited lung adenocarcinoma cell proliferation and promoted chemotherapy sensitivity by participating in the glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4)-related ferroptosis pathway.

    SLITRK6 Promotes the Progression of Lung Adenocarcinoma by Regulating PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling and Warburg Effect

    To investigate the role of SLITRK6 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and the underlying mechanisms, clinical tissues, and tissue microarray of LUAD were used to detect the expression of SLITRK6.

    Current Knowledge of Small Cell Lung Cancer Transformation From Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    The authors discuss potential mechanisms of transformation and review the current knowledge about cells of origin of NSCLC and SCLC. They also discuss treatment options for transformed SCLC, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, immunotherapy, and anti-angiogenic agents.
