Expression and Role of p16 and GLUT1 in Malignant Diseases and Lung Cancer: A Review

Non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer death and in most cases it is often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Many genetic and microenvironmental factors are able to modify the cell cycle inducing carcinogenesis and tumor growth.

A Novel Lung Alveolar Cell Model for Exploring Volatile Biomarkers of Particle-Induced Lung Injury

Scientists exposed the human alveolar A549 cell line to 0, 200, and 500 μg/mL quartz particles for 24 hours and used gas chromatography–mass spectrometry to measure the volatile metabolites in the headspace air of cells.

Matrix Metalloprotease-7 Mediates Nucleolar Assembly & Intra-Nucleolar Cleaving p53 in Gefitinib Resistant Cancer Stem Cells

Investigators showed that matrix metalloproteinase-7 shedding MUC-1 SEA domain releases MUC-1 C-ter facilitating the nucleolus trafficking of p53 in gefitinib-resistant lung cancer stem cells.

MBIP (MAP3K12 Binding Inhibitory Protein) Drives NSCLC Metastasis by JNK-Dependent Activation of MMPs

Researchers characterized the contribution of one of the identified genes, MBIP, towards driving tumor invasion and metastasis. They demonstrated that expression of MBIP significantly enhanced the cellular proliferation, migration and invasion of NSCLC cells in vitro and metastasis in vivo.

CB11, a Novel Purine-Based PPARɣ Ligand, Overcomes Radio-Resistance by Regulating ATM Signaling and EMT in Human Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Cells

CB11 caused cell death via reactive oxygen species-mediated ATM-p53-GADD45α signaling in human non-small-cell lung cancer cells, and diphenyleneiodonium, an NADPH oxidase inhibitor, decreases cell death by inhibiting CB11-mediated ATM signaling.
