Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the role of cell division cycle-associated (CDCA) proteins in lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD), highlighting their potential link to poor patient outcomes.
  • Researchers analyzed data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and conducted immunohistochemical tests to confirm that high levels of CDCA proteins, particularly CDCA4 and CDCA5, are associated with worse survival rates.
  • The study concludes that CDCA4/5 could be useful as diagnostic and prognostic indicators, as well as potential therapeutic targets for LUAD treatment.

Herein, we investigated the impact of thymidine kinase 1 ()-related ceRNA networks on the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: expression data in NSCLC and normal tissue samples were retrieved from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and were then compared.

Wilms' tumor 1-associating protein (WTAP) is required for N-methyladenosine (mA) RNA methylation modifications, which regulate biological processes such as RNA splicing, cell proliferation, cell cycle, and embryonic development. mA is the predominant form of mRNA modification in eukaryotes. WTAP exerts mA modification by binding to methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) in the nucleus to form the METTL3-methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14)-WTAP (MMW) complex, a core component of the methyltransferase complex (MTC), and localizing to the nuclear patches.

The X-ray repair cross-complementing gene () family participates in DNA damage repair and its dysregulation is associated with the development and progression of a variety of cancers. However, have not been systematically studied in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Oncomine databases, we compared the expression levels of between NSCLC and normal tissues and performed survival analysis using the data from TCGA.

The model of immune-related lncRNA pairs (IRLPs) seems to be an available predictor in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients. The aim of our study was to construct a model with IRLPs to predict the survival status and immune landscape of LUAD patients. Based on TCGA-LUAD dataset, a risk assessment model with IRLPs was established.

Purpose: To clarify the correlation between KIF11 (kinesin family member 11) and clinicopathologic characteristics of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and identify the prognostic value of KIF11 in patients with NSCLC.

Methods: For investigating the expression of KIF11 in NSCLC, two tissue microarrays (TMAs: one contained 60 paired NSCLC tissues and paratumor tissues, the other contained 140 NSCLC tissues and 10 normal lung tissues) were constructed, stained, and scored. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets were used to explore the differential expression level of KIF11 between NSCLC and paratumor.

Background: Although pleurodesis is usually used to reduce the recurrence rate for primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) in surgery, existing techniques cannot meet the higher requirements of little surgical injury and less relapse. Hence, we developed a new pleurodesis technique and named multipoint pleura cautery.

Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness and outcomes of the uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery C-shaped pleura cautery in the surgical treatment of PSP.

As a member of the tripartite motif family, tripartite motif-containing protein 59 (TRIM59) serves as an E3 ubiquitin ligase in various cellular processes, including intracellular signaling, development, apoptosis, protein quality control, innate immunity, autophagy and carcinogenesis. The present study aimed to investigate the expression and prognostic value of TRIM59 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Expression of TRIM59 in patients with NSCLC was measured by immunohistochemistry in tissue microarrays.

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients experiencing lymph node metastasis (LNM) always exhibit poor clinical outcomes. A biomarker or gene signature that could predict survival in these patients would have a substantial clinical impact, allowing for earlier detection of mortality risk and for individualized therapy.

Methods: With the aim to identify a novel mRNA signature associated with overall survival, we analysed LUAD patients with LNM extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

Purpose: Lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, shows a poor 5-year overall survival rate. In our previous study, we demonstrated that miR-486-5p can be a potential blood-based biomarker for early diagnosis and recurrence prediction of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible roles and related target genes of miR-486-5p in NSCLC progression.

BACKGROUND Cisplatin (DDP)-based systemic chemotherapy has been widely used in the treatment of postoperative or advanced NSCLC patients, however, its effective rate is only 14~40%. HIF-2α can upregulate drug-resistant-related genes expression and lead to chemotherapy resistance in many tumors. However, little is known about the relationship between HIF-2α and chemotherapy resistance of lung cancer cells.

HIF-α may play an important role in the process of tumorigenesis as well as tumor progression. Although a number of investigations have established the significance of HIF-1α in several human tumors, there is still little information available on the clinical significance of HIF-2α expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In present study, immunohistologic expression of HIF-1α/ HIF-2α was studied in a tissue microarray of 140 Stage I-III NSCLCs and correlated with clinicopathologic parameters and clinical outcome.

E2F activators (E2F1-3) codify a family of transcription factors (TFs) in higher eukaryotes. E2F activators are involved in the cell cycle regulation and synthesis of DNA in mammalian cells, and their overexpression has been detected in many human cancers. However, their clinical significance has not been deeply researched in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and bioinformatics analysis has never been reported to explore their clinical role in NSCLC.
