Cell–Cell Interaction Mechanisms in Acute Lung Injury

The authors provide an overview of current advancements in understanding the role of cell–cell interaction in the development of acute lung injury (ALI) and depict molecular mechanisms by which cell–cell interactions regulate lung inflammation, focusing on inter-cellular activities and signaling pathways that point to possible therapeutic opportunities for ALI/acute respiratory distress syndrome.

NRF2-GPX4/SOD2 Axis Imparts Resistance to EGFR-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Cells

The authors investigated the role of NRF2 in resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). They showed that NRF2 protein levels were markedly increased in a panel of EGFR-TKI-resistant non-small cell lung cancer cell lines due to slow degradation of NRF2 protein.

Post-Transcriptional Air Pollution Oxidation to the Cholesterol Biosynthesis Pathway Promotes Pulmonary Stress Phenotypes

Investigators develop a method for 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine profiling using immunocapturing and RNA sequencing. They found 42 oxidized transcripts in bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells exposed to two air pollution mixtures that recreate urban atmospheres.
