MYH9 Is Crucial for Stem Cell-Like Properties in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer by Activating mTOR Signaling

The authors found that the stemness characteristics of lung cancer cells were significantly enhanced by the overexpression of non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9), and the knockout of MYH9 had the opposite effects.

M6A RNA Methylation-Mediated RMRP Stability Renders Proliferation and Progression of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer through Regulating TGFBR1/SMAD2/SMAD3 Pathway

Based on an integrative analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas database, investigators identified long non-coding RNA-RNA Component of Mitochondrial RNA Processing Endoribonuclease (RMRP) as one of the most highly upregulated lncRNAs that are associated with poor survival in non-small cell lung cancer.

Protective Effect of Xiao-Xu-Ming Decoction-Mediated Inhibition of ROS/NLRP3 Axis on Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Lung Injury In Vitro and In Vivo

As a traditional Chinese medicine prescription, Xiao-Xu-Ming decoction (XXMD) could reduce the incidence of lung infection of patients with cerebral infarction. In vitro, human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells were treated with XXMD and were followed by lipopolysaccharide treatment.
