    Guided Construction of Single Cell Reference for Human and Mouse Lung

    Researchers developed a computational pipeline utilizing the LungMAP CellCards as a dictionary to consolidate single-cell transcriptomic datasets of 104 human lungs and 17 mouse lung samples to construct LungMAP single-cell reference for both normal human and mouse lungs.

    The Deubiquitinase UCHL3 Mediates p300-Dependent Chemokine Signaling in Alveolar Type II Cells to Promote Pulmonary Fibrosis

    Investigators found that p300 was upregulated in multiple epithelial cells in lung samples from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and mouse models of lung fibrosis. Lung fibrosis was significantly diminished by the alveolar type II cell–specific deletion of the p300 gene.

    Krüppel-Like Factor 15 Counteracts Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Suppresses Lung Fibroblast Proliferation and Extracellular Matrix Accumulation

    Investigators revealed the potential of Krüppel-like factor 15 activation in alleviating pulmonary fibrosis. Transforming growth factor beta was utilized to induce lung fibroblasts to establish an in vitro model of pulmonary fibrosis.

    THOC3 Interacts with YBX1 to Promote Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma Progression Through PFKFB4 mRNA Modification

    Scientists identified that THO complex (THOC) 3 was highly expressed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and negatively associated with prognosis. THOC3 knockdown inhibited LUSC cell growth, migration, and glycolysis.

    NR1D1 Deficiency in the Tumor Microenvironment Promotes Lung Tumor Development by Activating the NLRP3 Inflammasome

    Although NR1D1 overexpression or knockdown had little effect on the proliferation of NSCLC cells in vitro, NR1D1 deficiency in the tumor microenvironment increased lung cancer development compared with the control in the orthotopic model.

    Skp2-Mediated MLKL Degradation Confers Cisplatin-Resistant in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells

    Scientists discovered that the E3 ligase Skp2 is overexpressed, accompanied by the downregulation of necroptosis-related regulator MLKL in human NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of Skp2 inhibited viability, anchorage-independent growth, and in vivo tumor development of NSCLC cells.
