High prevalence and metastasis rates are characteristics of lung cancer. Glycolysis provides energy for the development and metastasis of cancer cells. The 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 (1,25(OH) D ) has been linked to reducing cancer risk and regulates various physiological functions.

Vaccarin, the main active component in the semen of traditional Chinese medicine Vaccaria has a definite effect on T2DM mice. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether vaccarin can enhance the intestinal barrier function in T2DM.

However, little is known about the potential therapeutic effects of cancer-related psychiatric symptoms.

Main Methods: Expression level of SLC9A1 gene in tumors was identified in GEPIA.
Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is one of the most common and serious complications in cancer patients, which greatly reduces the quality of life. The mechanism induced fatigue may be diverse. In this study, we tried to investigate the effect of 1,25(OH)D, the active metabolite of vitamin D on CRF in Lewis lung cancer-bearing mice.

VM is associated with malignancy, invasion, metastasis, and poor prognosis. Hitherto a noninvasive method for the assessment of VM in vivo has been lacking.
