Discovery of Gefitinib-1,2, 3-Triazole Derivatives against Lung Cancer via Inducing Apoptosis and Inhibiting the Colony Formation
[Scientific Reports] A series of 20 novel gefitinib derivatives incorporating the 1,2,3-triazole moiety were designed and synthesized. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their potential anticancer activity against epidermal growth factor receptor wild-type human NSCLC cells and human lung adenocarcinoma cells as NSCLC.
Pirin Promotes the Progression of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer by Increasing ODC1 to Suppress Autophagy
[Journal Of Proteome Research] Investigators found that pirin was upregulated in NSCLC, and its expression was positively correlated with poor prognosis. Overexpression of pirin inhibited autophagy and promoted NSCLC proliferation.
Neuroendocrine Cells Initiate Protective Upper Airway Reflexes
[Science] Scientists showed that murine neuroendocrine cells in the healthy lung, trachea, and larynx had distinct biophysical properties but shared sensitivity to two commonly aspirated noxious stimuli, water, and acid.
Inflammatory and Tissue Injury Marker Dynamics in Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
[Journal Of Clinical Investigation] In a single-center prospective cohort of intubated pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome, investigators collected plasma on days zero, three, and seven. Nineteen biomarkers reflecting inflammation, tissue injury, and damage associated molecular patterns were measured.
DNMT1/miR-152-3p/SOS1 Signaling Axis Promotes Self-Renewal and Tumor Growth of Cancer Stem-Like Cells Derived from Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
[Clinical Epigenetics] Researchers elucidated the underlying mechanism involving the DNMT1/miR-152-3p/SOS1 axis in regulating the self-renewal and tumor growth of lung cancer stem-like cells.
Overexpression of TNFSF11 Reduces GPX4 Levels and Increases Sensitivity to Ferroptosis Inducers in Lung Adenocarcinoma
[Journal of Translational Medicine] Scientists employed the tumor immune estimation resource database to scrutinize tumor necrosis factor superfamily 11 (TNFSF11) expression across various cancer types.
Loss of ZNF451 Mediates Fibroblast Activation and Promotes Lung Fibrosis
[Respiratory Research] GEO dataset analysis, RT‒PCR, and immunoblot assays were used to examine the expression of zinc finger protein 451 (ZNF451) in pulmonary fibrosis.
HERC5 Downregulation in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Is Associated with Altered Energy Metabolism and Metastasis
[Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research] Investigators assessed cell proliferation, colony formation potential, anchorage-independent growth, migration, and wound healing in NSCLC cell line models with HERC5 overexpression or knockout.
Activating Point Mutations in the MET Kinase Domain Represent a Unique Molecular Subset of Lung Cancer and Other Malignancies Targetable with MET Inhibitors
[Cancer Discovery] Using comprehensive genomic profiling among >600,000 patients, scientists identified activating MET tyrosine kinase domain point mutations as putative oncogenic driver across diverse cancers, with a frequency of ~0.5%.
Cell-Free DNA Methylation in the Clinical Management of Lung Cancer
[Trends in Molecular Medicine] Investigators discuss the current state of the art in cell-free (cf)DNA methylation analysis, examine the unique features and limitations of these new methods in a clinical context, propose two models for applying cfDNA methylation data for lung cancer screening, and discuss future research directions.
American Lung Association and LUNGevity Foundation Announce $3 Million Research Partnership to Intercept Lung Cancer
[American Lung Association] In a collaborative effort to end lung cancer, the American Lung Association and LUNGevity Foundation have joined forces to invest $3 million over the next three years in research aimed at intercepting lung cancer.
Oncogene-Driven Non-Small Cell Lung Cancers in Patients with a History of Smoking Lack Smoking-Induced Mutations
[Cancer Research] To better understand the clonal architecture and genomic landscape of non-smoking-related oncogene-driven tumors in smokers compared to typical-smoking NSCLCs, scientists investigated genomic and transcriptomic alterations in 173 tumor sectors from 48 NSCLC patients.
Spurred by advances in the modeling of the airway epithelium, Pulmonary Cell News was launched in 2012 to help scientists stay at the forefront of cutting edge research. Every week, our editors hand-select the most recent, top scientific journal articles on the topics of pulmonary cells, lung cancers, and respiratory diseases such as COPD and asthma.
