    Alveolar Macrophage-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Inhibit Endosomal Fusion of Influenza Virus

    Scientists demonstrated that aveolar macrophages, but not epithelial cells (ECs), constitutively secreted paracrine activity localized to extracellular vesicles which inhibited influenza infection of ECs in vitro and in vivo.

    IL-17A-Producing T Cells Exacerbate Fine Particulate Matter-Induced Lung Inflammation and Fibrosis by Inhibiting PI3K/Akt/mTOR-Mediated Autophagy

    Primary bronchial epithelial cells (mBECs) were extracted, and the expression of TGF signaling pathway‐, autophagy‐ and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway‐related proteins in mBECs was detected by immunofluorescence assay and Western blot analysis.

    Abstract

    Y Chromosome LncRNA are involved in Radiation Response of Male Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells

    Researchers identified a group of Y chromosome-expressed long non-coding RNA that were involved in male NSCLC radiation sensitivity.

    Abstract

    PD-L1 Promotes Tumor Growth and Progression by Activating WIP and β-Catenin Signaling Pathways and Predicts Poor Prognosis in Lung Cancer

    Scientists showed that PD-L1 regulated lung cancer growth and progression by targeting the WIP and β-catenin signaling. Overexpression of PD-L1 promoted tumor cell growth, migration and invasion in lung cancer cells, whereas PD-L1 knockdown had the opposite effects.

    Cell Derived Matrix Fibulin-1 Associates with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor to Inhibit Its Activation, Localization and Function in Lung Cancer Calu-1 Cells

    To test the possible role Fibulin-1 isoforms could have in regulating Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor signaling and function in lung cancer, scientists performed siRNA mediated knockdown of FBLN1C and FBLN1D in non-small cell lung cancer Calu-1 cells.

    Effects of Pirfenidone Targeting the Tumor Microenvironment and Tumor-Stroma Interaction as a Novel Treatment for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    The authors investigated the possibility that pirfenidone might exert an anti-tumor effect through inhibition of fibroblast activation and the tumor-stroma interaction in NSCLC cell lines in vitro and in vivo.

    Novel Long Non-Coding RNA LINC02323 Promotes Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Metastasis via Sponging miR -1343-3p in Lung Adenocarcinoma

    Distribution of LINC02323 was detected by the nuclear‐plasma separation experiment. Cell proliferation was assessd by MTT assay, and cell migration and invation were detected by transwell assays.

    The Fire Within: NF-κB Involvement in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    The authors focus exclusively on the role of NF-κB in NSCLC and discuss its contributing effect on cancer hallmarks such as inflammation, proliferation, survival, apoptosis, angiogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, metastasis, stemness, metabolism, and therapy resistance.

    ‘Disturbing and Cruel.’ Universities Blast New Visa Rule for International Students

    A new US immigration policy, which threatens to revoke visas for certain international students if they are not taking in-person classes, is stirring panic and confusion and causing some universities to push back with lawsuits.
