    A Landscape of Response to Drug Combinations in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Researchers presented a uniquely large dataset screening over 5000 targeted agent combinations across 81 NSCLC lines. Their analysis revealed a profound heterogeneity of response across the tumor models.

    Amifostine Attenuates Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis in Mice through Inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR Signaling Pathway

    Investigators explored the potential therapeutic effects and molecular mechanisms of amifostine on bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. A mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis was established using BLM.

    FSTL1 Promotes Alveolar Epithelial Cell Aging and Worsens Pulmonary Fibrosis by Affecting SENP1-Mediated DeSUMOylation

    Scientists found that follistatin-like 1 (FSTL1) expression was upregulated in the lung tissues of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and that SENP1 was overexpressed in senescent alveolar epithelial cells.

    Discovery of an OTUD3 Inhibitor for the Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Researchers reported a small-molecule inhibitor of OTUD3 (OTUDin3) by computer-aided virtual screening and biological experimental verification. OTUDin3 exhibited pronounced antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects by inhibiting deubiquitinating activity of OTUD3 in NSCLC cell lines.

    MicroRNA-375 Restrains the Progression of Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Modulating the ERK Pathway via UBE3A-Mediated DUSP1 Degradation

    Associations with clinicopathologic features, survival, and the prognostic value of miR-375 in lung squamous cell carcinoma were clarified in a retrospective study of 90 pairs of LUSC tissues. In vitro and in vivo gain- and loss-of-function assays were conducted to validate the effects and mechanism of miR-375.

    Overexpression of SMAD7 Improves the Function of EGFR-Targeted Human CAR-T Cells Against Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

    Researchers characterized the proliferation, expression of proinflammatory cytokines, activation profile, and lysis capacity in co-cultures with A549 lung carcinoma cells with and without transforming growth factor (TGFβ) neutralizing antibodies.

    Abstract

    NSCLC Presents Metabolic Heterogeneity, and There Is Still Some Leeway for EGF Stimuli in EGFR-Mutated NSCLC

    Scientists showed that NSCLC cell lines have heterogeneous metabolic profiles, which may be underlaid by different genetic profiles, revealing an opportunity to identify and stratify patients who can benefit from metabolism-targeted therapies.

    The PRMT5 Inhibitor C9 Mitigates Hypoxia-Induced Carboplatin Resistance in Lung Cancer by Inducing Autophagy

    Hypoxia upregulated PRMT5 expression in lung cancer cells. Additionally, PRMT5 overexpression promoted cancer cell resistance to carboplatin.

    Resistance to KRAS G12C Inhibition in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    The authors provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms that limit the efficacy of KRASG12C inhibitors and review potential strategies to overcome and possibly delay the development of resistance in patients receiving KRAS-directed targeted therapies.
