Emerging data indicate that chromatin licencing and DNA replication factor 1 (CDT1) plays an important role in several cancers. However, it remains unclear whether CDT1 is functionally indispensable in lung cancer. Here, constructing tissue microarrays and performing in vitro and vivo experiments, we showed that CDT1 was significantly overexpressed in lung adenocarcinoma tissues, and its expression level significantly correlated with pathological stage, tumour invasiveness, and overall patient survival. Mechanistic investigations revealed that CDT1 possibly interacted with the transcription factor adenovirus early region 2 binding factor 1 (E2F1), thereby cooperatively enhancing the transcriptional activity of the targeting protein for Xenopus kinesin-like protein 2 (TPX2) gene. This phenomenon subsequently increased the expression of glycolysis-related molecules aldolase C and pyruvate kinase M2 via the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway, which promoted the proliferation and migration of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Critically, knockdown of TPX2 or treatment with either the AKT pathway inhibitor MK-2206 2HCl or the glycolysis inhibitor AZ33 effectively reversed the promoting effects of CDT1 on AKT pathway activity, glycolytic metabolism, and tumour progression in CDT1-overexpressing NSCLC cells. Collectively, this study elucidates that CDT1 and E2F1 mutually promote the glycolysis and progression of NSCLC cells by activating the TPX2/AKT pathway. These findings provide novel therapeutic targets for refractory NSCLC treatment.
Paraptosis plays a critical role in mediating anti-tumor effects by inducing cell death in cancer cells. However, its specific involvement in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains inadequately understood. This study aims to systematically investigate the prognostic significance and underlying mechanisms of paraptosis-related genes (PRGs) in LUAD. Differentially expressed genes were identified between LUAD and control samples from the training set and cross-referenced with PRGs to generate candidate genes (CGs). Prognostic genes were selected from CGs using regression analysis, leading to the development of a LUAD risk model, which was validated in an independent validation set. Clinical characteristics were analyzed to identify independent prognostic factors for constructing a nomogram. Functional and immune infiltration analyses were performed on high-/low-risk cohorts from the training set. Drug predictions related to prognostic genes were made and subsequently validated through molecular docking. Polymerase chain reaction was performed to validate the expression of prognostic genes. Four prognostic genes (CDKN3, PEBP1, TNFRSF19, and PHB) were identified from 27 CGs through regression analysis. The prognostic risk model demonstrated robust predictive capacity for LUAD prognosis and exhibited generalizability. Significant associations were observed between risk scores and clinical features, including age, TNM.stage, T-stage, and N-stage (P < .05). These risk scores served as independent prognostic factors for the nomogram model, offering strong predictive power for LUAD. Vorinostat and raloxifene exhibited notable binding affinity for PEBP1. Elevated CDKN3 expression was observed in LUAD, while PEBP1 and TNFRSF19 expressions were reduced. This study highlights the prognostic value of PRGs, specifically CDKN3, PEBP1, TNFRSF19, and PHB. CDKN3 and PHB emerged as risk factors for LUAD prognosis, whereas PEBP1 and TNFRSF19 did not. In-depth analysis of the tumor microenvironment revealed the distribution and correlations of immune cell types influenced by PRGs and risk score. Furthermore, an independent prognostic model for LUAD was developed, enhancing our understanding of high-/low-risk cohorts' functional pathways. Drug prediction results provided valuable insights into potential therapeutic strategies for LUAD, warranting further investigation.
BACKGROUND:Checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis (CIP) represents a highly lethal immune-related adverse event. Early diagnosis of CIP is crucial for timely intervention and improved prognosis; however, the absence of precise and effective diagnostic techniques often leads to underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis. This study aims to identify microRNA (miRNA) features from serum and extracellular vesicles (EVs) for the early CIP detection and prognosis. METHODS:Small RNA sequencing identified candidate miRNAs in 27 serum-derived EV samples from persons with lung cancer and CIP (CIP group) and those without, including immunotherapy-treated persons with lung cancer without CIP (immune checkpoint inhibitor, ICI group) and patients with infectious pneumonia (PNE group). These miRNAs were validated in EV samples in a discovery cohort (n=48) using a quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR). Diagnostic models for the biomarkers were developed using a training cohort (ICI:47, PNE:28, CIP:31) and validated in a separate validation cohort (ICI:32, PNE:19, CIP:21) using qRT-PCR in both EV and serum samples, and logistic regression. Using a Cox regression model, we built a prognostic risk stratification for patients with CIP based on three miRNAs. RESULTS:Sequencing analysis initially screened and identified 13 overexpressed miRNAs in patients with CIP. Subsequently, qRT-PCR demonstrated that three miRNAs (EVs miR-193a-5p, serum miR-193a-5p, and serum miR-378a-3p) effectively distinguished CIP from non-CIP individuals (training cohort: area under the curve (AUC)=0.870; validation cohort: AUC=0.837). Notably, this miRNA signature was equally robust in differentiating CIP from ICI (training cohort: AUC=0.823; validation cohort: AUC=0.845) and PNE groups (training cohort: AUC=0.892; validation cohort: AUC=0.907). Furthermore, when combined with lymphocyte levels, the miRNA signature significantly enhanced the overall diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing CIP from the non-CIP group (training cohort: AUC=0.900; validation cohort: AUC=0.932), and maintained its robustness in distinguishing CIP from the ICI group (training cohort: AUC=0.898; validation cohort: AUC=0.946) and the PNE group (training cohort: AUC=0.938; validation cohort: AUC=0.959). Additionally, the three-miRNA panel was independently and significantly associated with overall survival in patients with CIP (HR: 2.827; p=0.040). CONCLUSIONS:Our circulating miRNA-based signature represents a non-invasive and robust diagnostic tool for patients with CIP and could accurately predict their prognosis. This signature may facilitate early detection and personalized management of these patients.
BACKGROUND Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung (HAL) is a rare type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), histologically similar to hepatocellular carcinoma. HAL has high malignancy and poor prognosis, and a better treatment plan needs further study. CASE SUMMARY In order to deeply understand the occurrence and development of HAL, here we report a case of HAL with extensive metastasis of alpha fetoprotein negative KRAS A146T mutation. The patient refused chemotherapy and received one course of treatment (immune checkpoint inhibitors), and died three months later due to progressive disease. CONCLUSION HAL is a special type of NSCLC. The surgical treatment of HAL in the limited stage can achieve long-term survival, but most of them were in the advanced stage when they were found, and the prognosis was poor, which requires multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment.
BackgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the most common histotype of lung cancer, may have variable prognosis due to molecular variations. The research strived to establish a prognostic model based on malignancy-related risk score (MRRS) in LUAD.MethodsWe applied the single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from Tumor Immune Single Cell Hub database to recognize malignancy-related geneset. Meanwhile, we extracted RNA-seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. The GSE68465 and GSE72094 datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database were downloaded to validate the prognostic signature. Random survival forest analysis screened MRRS with prognostic significance. Multivariate Cox analysis was leveraged to establish the MRRS. Furthermore, the biological functions, gene mutations, and immune landscape were investigated to uncover the underlying mechanisms of the malignancy-related signature. In addition, we used qRT-PCR to explore the expression profile of MRRS-constructed genes in LUAD cells.ResultsThe scRNA-seq analysis revealed the markers genes of malignant celltype. The MRRS composed of 7 malignancy-related genes was constructed for each patient, which was shown to be an independent prognostic factor. The results of the GSE68465 and GSE72094 datasets validated MRRS’s prognostic value. Further analysis demonstrated that MRRS was involved in oncogenic pathways, genetic mutations, and immune functions. Moreover, the results of qRT-PCR were consistent with bioinformatics analysis.ConclusionOur research recognized a novel malignancy-related signature for predicting the prognosis of LUAD patients and highlighted a promising prognostic and treatment marker for LUAD patients.
Abstract Background Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is a main subgroup of non-small cell lung cancer that accounts for ~ approximately 80% of all lung cancer. Studies have demonstrated that tumor microenvironment is essential for the occurrence and development of LUSC. The present study identified the immune- and metabolic-related genes to construct a prognostic model for LUSC patients. Methods We downloaded RNA-sequence data and clinical information of LUSC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. The differentially expressed metabolic-related genes (DMRGs) and the differentially expressed immune-related genes (DIRGs) between the control samples and LUSC patient samples were identified. Gene ontology analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis were performed to explore the potential biological processes of harvested DMRGs and DIRGs. To develop a prognostic model for LUSC patients, we selected prognostic genes from DMRGs and DIRGs through the univariate and multivariate Cox regression. The prognostic value of the risk model was detected via the Kaplan-Meier curve and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was operated to investigate the underlying latent pathways associated with the high-risk group. The infiltration of immune cells in the high- and low-risk groups were analyzed using the single-sample gene-set enrichment analysis. Results A total of 178 DMRGs were identified, which were mainly enriched in nucleoside phosphate biosynthetic process, carboxylic acid biosynthetic process, and cofactor metabolic process. Around 264 DIRGs were primarily associated with chemotaxis regulation, leukocyte migration, and positive regulation of cytokine production. After the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses, a prognostic risk model containing four prognostic genes was constructed, which performed better in prognosing LUSC patients via the ROC analysis. Moreover, the risk score was found to be an independent prognostic factor through the multivariate Cox regressions analysis. The GSEA suggested that the chemokine signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, and IL-17 signaling pathway were mainly enriched in the high-risk group. Finally, the risk score was mostly correlated with immune-related score and immune infiltration cells. Conclusion We constructed an immune- and metabolic-related gene signature that was quite reliable in predicting prognosis of LUSC patients.
Lung cancer has become the primary cause of cancer-related deaths because of its high recurrence rate, ability to metastasise easily, and propensity to develop drug resistance. The wide-ranging heterogeneity of lung cancer subtypes increases the complexity of developing effective therapeutic interventions. Therefore, personalised diagnostic and treatment strategies are required to guide clinical practice. The advent of innovative three-dimensional (3D) culture systems such as organoid and organ-on-a-chip models provides opportunities to address these challenges and revolutionise lung cancer research and drug evaluation. In this review, we introduce the advancements in lung-related 3D culture systems, with a particular focus on lung organoids and lung-on-a-chip, and their latest contributions to lung cancer research and drug evaluation. These developments include various aspects, from authentic simulations and mechanistic enquiries into lung cancer to assessing chemotherapeutic agents and targeted therapeutic interventions. The new 3D culture system can mimic the pathological and physiological microenvironment of the lung, enabling it to supplement or replace existing two-dimensional culture models and animal experimental models and realize the potential for personalised lung cancer treatment.
We report a female patient, who presented as a carcinoma of unknown primary site with multiple tumors in breast, lung, stomach, and ovary, was confirmed to be lung adenocarcinoma as primary cancer through detecting EML4-ALK rearrangement by the next generation sequencing (NGS). The patient was treated with crizotinib and resulted in significant regression of the primary and metastatic tumors, but resistance to crizotinib was developed 5 months after the treatment. Targeted therapy was, therefore, switched to alectinib, one of the second-generation of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors, with excellent therapeutic response till November 16th, 2021. This study suggested that NGS be recommended to detect ALK rearrangement in the patients with carcinoma of unknown primary site, and that resistance to targeted therapy with ALK inhibitors should be considered for personalized precision medicine.
Background Vascular air embolism (VAE) is a rare but important complication that has not been paid enough attention to in the medical process such as surgery and anesthesia. Case presentation We report for the first time that a 54-year-old male patient with central lung cancer developed severe complications of CAE after right pneumonectomy. After targeted first-aid measures such as assisted breathing, mannitol dehydration and antibiotic treatment, the patient gradually improved. The patient became conscious at discharge after 25 days of treatment but left limb was left with nerve injury symptoms. Conclusion We analyzed the possible causes of CAE in this case, and the findings from this report would be highly useful as a reference to clinicians.
Sterol O-acyltransferase 1 (SOAT1) is a key enzyme in lipid metabolism, which mediates cholesterol esterification metabolism and is closely associated with many cancers. However, the role of SOAT1 in lung cancer invasion remains unclear. We found that SOAT1 expression was positively correlated with lung cancer invasion. Downregulation of SOAT1 inhibited invasion, mitochondrial fragmentation, AKT phosphorylation, and phospho-Drp (Ser616) in lung cancer cells and promoted intracellular free cholesterol accumulation. Mechanistically, the AKT phosphorylation inhibitor MK-2206 alleviated both SOAT1 overexpression and high expression-induced mitochondrial fragmentation and lung cancer cell invasion. Furthermore, intracellular free cholesterol accumulation reduced AKT phosphorylation, SREBP1 mRNA expression, cell invasion, and mitochondrial fragmentation in lung cancer cells with high SOAT1 expression. In summary, our findings suggest that SOAT1 promotes lung cancer invasion by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway by downregulating intracellular free cholesterol levels, thereby affecting the regulation of mitochondrial fragmentation.

背景 严重气管狭窄是一种危重症,患者在清醒状态时无法耐受纤维支气管镜检查,还存在全身麻醉诱导后无法建立有效气管的风险.既往实施复杂气管病变手术患者术中常规使用双套气管插管,但会影响手术视野,延长手术时间,而术中应用体外膜肺氧合(ECMO)可解决上述问题.目的 探讨ECMO在严重气管狭窄及复杂气管病变手术中的应用效果.方法 选取2013年9月—2017年5月南方医科大学深圳医院和兰州大学第二医院收治的严重气管狭窄和复杂气管病变患者8例,均在ECMO支持下行严重气管狭窄及复杂气管病变外科手术,分析患者预后.结果 8例患者中,6例恢复良好,1例死亡,1例行探查术.随访2年7个月~6年3个月,4例创伤后气管狭窄患者及2例气管腺样囊性癌患者术后未见气管狭窄或肿瘤复发迹象;1例气管食管瘘患者因高位截瘫无自主呼吸致肺部严重感染,呼吸衰竭死亡;1例因气管狭窄位置较高,胸外科未能行气管端端吻合术,后就诊于外院耳鼻喉科,行气管甲状软骨吻合术,术后未出现狭窄复发.结论 ECMO在严重气管狭窄及复杂气管病变患者手术中安全可行.
This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism by which mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) mediate lung cancer progression. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) were isolated from transfected or untransfected MSCs, and were co-cultured with lung cancer cells with/without microRNA-130b-3p (miR-130b-3p) inhibitor, mimic, overexpression plasmids of FOXO3/NFE2L2, or shRNAs. CCK-8 assay, colony formation, transwell assay, and flow cytometry were carried out to determine the biological functioning of lung cancer cells. Furthermore, FOXO3, Keap1, NFE2L2, and TXNRD1 expression was determined by qRT-PCR and western blot analysis. A tumor xenograft mouse model was used to determine role of EVs-miR-130b-3p and its target FOXO3 in lung cancer progression in vivo. miR-130b-3p was highly expressed in lung cancer tissues and MSC-derived EVs. Moreover, the MSC-derived EVs transferred miR-130b-3p to lung cancer cells to promote cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while repress cell apoptosis. miR-130b-3p directly targeted FOXO3, and FOXO3 elevated Keap1 expression to downregulate NFE2L2, thus inhibiting TXNRD1. FOXO3 overexpression or silencing of NFE2L2 or TXNRD1 diminished lung cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and migration but enhanced apoptosis. EV-delivered miR-130b-3p or FOXO3 silencing promoted lung cancer progression in vivo. In summary, MSC-derived EVs with upregulated miR-130b-3p suppressed FOXO3 to block the NFE2L2/TXNRD1 pathway, thus playing an oncogenic role in lung cancer progression.
BACKGROUND:Pneumonectomy and sleeve resection are routine operations for the treatment of central non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but some patients suffered of central NSCLC, whose pulmonary function is too poor to tolerate pneumonectomy, or the tumor involves the bronchus and pulmonary artery extensively,it is hard to perform bronchovascular sleeve lobectomy. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of lung autotransplantation in the treatment of central NSCLC.METHODS:The clinical data of 3 cases with central NSCLC treated by lung autotransplantation was reviewed from December 2016 to December 2018. One patient underwent double sleeve resection of left upper lobe with end-to-end anastomosis of the bronchus. Because the resection of the pulmonary artery was too long to perfrom a tension-free anastomosis, the inferior pulmonary vein was cut off, then the left lower lobe was moved up for an anastomosis of the inferior pulmonary vein and the stump of the superior pulmonary vein. In the other 2 cases, left pneumonectomy was performed directly, and the upper left lobe was excised in vitro. The lower left lobe was reset to the chest after trimming and flushing and then the bronchus, pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein were anastomosed in turn.RESULTS:The average operation time was 333 min, the average time of vascular occlusion was 86 min, the average blood loss was 450 mL, and the average hospital stay was 18.7 d; Perioperative complications included a case of bronchial obstruction, which improved after sputum aspiration through bronchofibroscope. The average follow-up period was 20 mon; One case died of cancer, one case had recurrence of anastomotic stoma and brain metastasis, one case had 4R lymph node metastasis (stable condition after chemotherapy), and one case survived without recurrence.CONCLUSIONS:For patients with central NSCLC with extensive tumor invasion, thus inability to tolerate sleeve resection or pneumonectomy, autologous lung transplantation can preserve lung function to the greatest extent with a complete tumor resection and improve postoperative quality of life.
