| Researchers reported that deleting the mitochondrial electron transport chain complex I subunit Ndufs2 in lung epithelial cells during mouse gestation led to death during postnatal alveolar development. [Nature] |

|
|
| Investigators tested the hypothesis that loss of miR-30a would result in male and female mice experiencing similar impairments in alveolarization and angiogenesis under hyperoxic conditions. [Biology Of Sex Differences] |
|
|
|
| Using sections and hypoplastic lung explant cultures from the nitrofen rat model of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CHD) and human fetal CDH lungs, researchers demonstrated that NF-κB and its downstream transcriptional targets are hyperactive during abnormal lung formation in CDH.

|
|
|
| Scientists established a bronchopulmonary dysplasia mouse model to investigate the effects of tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), an nuclear factor e2–related factor 2 (Nrf2) activator, on oxidative stress injury, pyroptosis, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and alveolar development. [Inflammation] |
|
|
|
| Investigators hypothesized that Ginsenoside Rg3 may be a potential therapeutic agent for pulmonary fibrosis-targeting endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition. [Animal Cells And Systems] |
|
|
|
| | Scientists found that the lncRNA ADPGK-AS1 was substantially upregulated in artificially induced M2-like human macrophages, macrophages exposed to lung cancer cells in vitro, and tumor-associated macrophages from human lung cancer tissue. [EMBO Journal] |
|
|
|
| An increased expression of calbindin reduced CXCL8 chemokine production and downstream neutrophil recruitment in lung squamous cell carcinoma tumor cells. [Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported that SCLC cells treated with an FDA-approved HDAC inhibitor SAHA underwent senescence and displayed remarkable senescence-associated secretion phenotype. In particular, SAHA promoted the formation of cytoplasmic chromatin fragments in SCLC cells. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that docetaxel induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and cell death in A549 and NCI-H1299 cells. However, many cells remained alive and became polyploid giant cancer cells by decreasing the expression of key regulatory proteins related to the cell cycle and proliferation. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors identify targets of redox imbalance and inflammation that could be explored to create effective treatments for asthma. [Molecular Biology Reports] |
|
|
|
| | The planned Phase I/Ib, safety, feasibility, and light dose titration study followed by further study of therapeutic ablation effects, was designed as a multicenter, open-label study of Padeliporfin Vascular Targeted Photodynamic for lung tumor ablation in patients with Peripheral Lung Cancer.
