AI Article Synopsis

  • New aminosterols were synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit cell growth.
  • The study focused on a human non small-cell lung cancer cell line (NSCLC-N6) and evaluated how these compounds affected the cell cycle.
  • Results showed that compounds I-III caused cell blockage in the G1 phase, leading to fewer cells in the S and G2M phases and an increase in cellular debris from G1 phase cells.

Article Abstract

Various new aminosterols were synthesized. The antiproliferative activity of these compounds (I-IV) was studied in vitro on a continuous human non small-cell bronchopulmonary carcinoma line (NSCLC-N6) at the cell cycle level. The histograms indicate cell blockage in Phase Gl (compound I-III) associated with a reduction in the number of cells phases S and G2M and appearance of cellular debris derived from cells in Phase G1.

Central nervous system (CNS) metastases of atypical carcinoid tumors are exceptionally rare. Isolated studies suggest a survival benefit in patients who receive whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT); however, it has been known to have detrimental effects on long-term memory and executive function. Here, we present a case of a patient initially diagnosed with stage IIB bronchopulmonary carcinoid who later developed hepatic and intracranial metastases despite receiving adjuvant systemic therapy over a two-year period.

Diagnostic issues in neuroendocrine neoplasms of the lung.

Pathologie (Heidelb)

Article Synopsis
  • Bronchopulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms (BP-NENs) make up about 30% of all neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) and show similarities to gastroenteropancreatic NENs (GEP-NENs) but differ in classification.
  • BP-NETs (previously known as carcinoids) are classified into typical (TC) and atypical carcinoids (AC), with the new WHO 2022 classification introducing NET G1 and G2 correspondingly.
  • The review emphasizes the significance of the Ki-67 index for accurately classifying BP-NETs, noting that it is not included in their current classification criteria despite its relevance in

Exploring the multifaceted antitumor activity of axitinib in lung carcinoids.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)

July 2024

Laboratory of Geriatric and Oncologic Neuroendocrinology Research, IRCCS, Istituto Auxologico Italiano, Milan, Italy.

Article Synopsis
  • Lung carcinoids (LCs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors in the lungs, representing 20-25% of neuroendocrine tumors and 1-2% of lung cancers, making anti-angiogenic therapies like axitinib (AXI) potential treatment options.
  • In a study, three LC cell lines were treated with AXI to assess its long-term effects, focusing on cell cycle changes, apoptosis, and mechanisms like senescence and mitotic catastrophe.
  • Results indicated that AXI effectively inhibits tumor growth by causing indirect DNA damage, but its efficacy may decrease if DNA damage is repaired, emphasizing the importance of DNA damage in its therapeutic action.

A 72-year-old man with productive cough and wheezing was referred to our institution for a growing mass shadow and central bronchiectasis in the right lower lobe on computed tomography. Based on the symptoms, elevated Aspergillus-specific immunoglobulin E levels, and radiological findings, allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) was suspected according to the Japanese clinical diagnostic criteria. The patient refused bronchoscopic examination, and oral prednisolone (0.
