Background: Inhibition of Serum Amyloid A-like 1 (SAAL1) expression could inhibit cancer progression and improve the prognosis of cancer patients. At present, the correlation between SAAL1 and lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) remains unclear. Therefore, this study surveyed the worth and pathway of SAAL1 in LAC progression and immunity.

T cytotoxic cells are one of the main members of the immune microenvironment. Herein, we aimed to identify the roles of T-cell cytotoxic markers interleukin 18 (IL18) receptor 1 (IL18R1) in the LUSC progression using bioinformatics, clinical tissue specimen, and cell experiment.

Therefore, this study aimed to understand the roles and mechanisms of TRAT1 in LAC using bioinformatics and experiments. TRAT1 expression levels in LAC samples were analysed using various databases.

Thus, the first catalytic and lignan-activation-based approach for (epi)-podophyllotoxin derivatization was established. Based on the new methodology, as well as the judicious choice of N, AZMB, and Cbz protecting groups, an efficient approach forward was set.
