    Autocrine TGF-β-Positive Feedback in Profibrotic AT2-Lineage Cells Plays a Crucial Role in Non-Inflammatory Lung Fibrogenesis

    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.

    Caveolin-1-Derived Peptide Attenuates Cigarette Smoke-Induced Airway and Alveolar Epithelial Injury

    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.

    PHF23 Promotes NSCLC Proliferation, Metastasis, and Chemoresistance via Stabilization of ACTN4 and Activation of the ERK Pathway

    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.

    The Activated CD36-Src Axis Promotes Lung Adenocarcinoma Cell Proliferation and Actin Remodeling-Involved Metastasis in High-Fat Environment

    Researchers demonstrated that palmitic acid or high-fat diet promoted lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cell proliferation and metastasis in a CD36-dependent manner.

    CUL4B Functions as a Tumor Suppressor in KRAS-Driven Lung Tumors by Inhibiting the Recruitment of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells

    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.

    Abstract

    LncRNA CYP4A22-AS1 Promotes the Progression of Lung Adenocarcinoma through the miR-205-5p/EREG and miR-34c-5p/BCL-2 Axes

    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.

    The Emerging Roles of SUMOylation in Pulmonary Diseases

    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.
