| Scientists established an organoid-based lung fibrosis model using mouse and human lung tissues to assess the direct communication between damaged alveolar type II (AT2)-lineage cells and lung fibroblasts by excluding immune cells. [Nature Communications] |

|
| Investigators found that the expression of caveolin-1, tumor suppressor protein p53, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 were markedly increased in airway epithelial cells as well as in type II alveolar epithelial cells from the lungs of patients with COPD or wild-type mice with cigarette smoke-induced lung injury.

|
| Researchers corroborated the effectiveness and significance of the traditional Chinese medications Astragalus and Danshen in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treatment. [BMC Pulmonary Medicine] |
|
|
|
| MiR-143-3p inhibited airway epithelial cell epithelial mesenchymal transition as well as lung fibroblast extracellular matrix production by downregulating Smad3. [Pulmonary Pharmacology & Therapeutics] |
|
|
|
| | The Cancer Genome Atlas data mining, NCBI/GEO data mining, and western blotting analysis were employed to characterize the expression of plant homologous structural domain finger protein 23 (PHF23) in NSCLC cell lines and tissues. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that palmitic acid or high-fat diet promoted lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cell proliferation and metastasis in a CD36-dependent manner. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Investigators used both autochthonous and transplantable KRAS-mutant tumor models to investigate the role of tumor-derived CUL4B in KRAS-driven lung cancers. They showed that knockout or knockdown of CUL4B promoted lung adenocarcinoma growth and progression in both models. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| The lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cell line with a high expression of CYP4A22-AS1 was constructed to evaluate the role of CYP4A22-AS1 in the proliferation and metastasis of LUAD by CCK8, scratch healing, transwell assays, and animal experiments. [Cancer Cell International] |
|
|
|
| Scientists profiled the changes in gene expression according to the regulation of expression of MALAT1 in NSCLC cell lines and investigated the correlation through bioinformatic analysis of differentially expressed genes. [BMC Cancer] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors highlight the link between small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) pathway and lung diseases, especially the sumoylated substrate such as C/EBPα in bronchopulmonary dysplasia, PPARγ in pneumonia, TFII-I in asthma, HDAC2 in COPD, and KLF15 in hypoxic pulmonary hypertension.

|
| | Roche announced today that the Phase III ALINA study evaluating Alecensa® met its primary endpoint of disease-free survival at a prespecified interim analysis. Alecensa is an ALK inhibitor that demonstrates a reduction in the risk of disease recurrence or death for people with early-stage ALK-positive NSCLC. [Roche] |
