Article Synopsis
  • Lung cancer, one of the most common cancers, is divided into small cell (SCLC) and non-small cell (NSCLC) types, with NSCLC being more prevalent and further categorized into lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC).
  • The study extracted and analyzed mRNA data to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and mitophagy-related genes (DEMRGs) in LUAD and LUSC, resulting in the discovery of 986 and 1714 DEGs respectively, and highlighting 7 key DEMRGs that correlate with important biological functions.
  • The research emphasizes the significance of selected DEMRGs for prognostic purposes in LUAD,

Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Smoking has been identified as the main contributing cause of the disease's development. The study aimed to identify the key genes in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the two major types of LC.

Sphingolipid metabolism is the forefront area of cancer research, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully explored yet. Sphingolipid metabolites [ceramide, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)] are critical players in cell growth and apoptosis. Sphk1 is a key enzyme, catalyzing the phosphorylation of sphingosine to S1P, favoring cell proliferation and survival.

Background And Aim: Cancer cells exhibit Warburg effect, characterized by increased glycolysis followed by fermentative conversion of pyruvate to lactate. Upregulation of Lactate Dehydrogenase-A (LDH-A) is elucidated to be a dominant molecular mediator of the phenomenon. Also, microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation participates in malignant progression and dissemination in several cancers.

Chemokines are small secreted proteins that regulate the immune system by signaling through chemokine receptors to induce immune cell migration, motility, and infiltration into the tissue. Altered chemokine/receptor expression is associated with numerous inflammatory diseases, and more recently in non-immune cell diseases like cancer. Emerging new studies demonstrate that chemokines can directly modulate the tumor microenvironment (TME) to assist tumorigenesis by regulating proinflammatory signaling, immune cell infiltration,and metastasis.

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory disease with an unacceptably high mortality rate caused by an infection or trauma that involves both innate and adaptive immune systems. Inflammatory events activate different downstream pathways leading to tissue damage and ultimately multi-organ failure. Mitochondria are responsible for cellular energy, thermoregulation, metabolite biosynthesis, intracellular calcium regulation, and cell death.
