PRDX2 induces tumor immune evasion by modulating the HDAC3-Galectin-9 axis in lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Background: PRDX2 is significantly expressed in various cancers and is associated with the proliferation of tumor cells. Nonetheless, the precise mechanism of PRDX2 in tumor immunity remains incompletely understood. This study aims to investigate the impact of PRDX2, which is highly expressed in lung adenocarcinoma, on T cells in the tumor immune microenvironment, and its immune action target to promote the immune escape of lung cancer cells, to provide a theoretical basis for lung adenocarcinoma treatment with PRDX2 as the target.

Artesunate-binding FABP5 promotes apoptosis in lung cancer cells via the PPARγ-SCD pathway.

Artesunate holds excellent promise for lung cancer treatment, but its target is still unclear. We used molecular docking techniques to predict artesunate and Fatty acid binding protein 5 (FABP5) binding sites. Cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) verified that artesunate treatment could promote the stability of the FABP5 protein.

Association between lean body mass to visceral fat mass ratio and bone mineral density in United States population: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Studies have explored the correlation between body composition and bone mineral density (BMD), but there has yet to be a consensus. Thus, the present study aims to comprehensively investigate the association between lean body mass, adipose tissue, and BMD.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2011-2018) with 11,227 subjects.
