Article Abstract
ATP-Binding Cassette A3 (ABCA3) is a lamellar body associated lipid transport protein required for normal synthesis and storage of pulmonary surfactant in type II cells in the alveoli. In this study, we demonstrate that STAT3, activated by IL-6, regulates ABCA3 expression in vivo and in vitro. ABCA3 mRNA and immunostaining were decreased in adult mouse lungs in which STAT3 was deleted from the respiratory epithelium (Stat3(Delta/Delta) mice). Consistent with the role of STAT3, intratracheal IL-6 induced ABCA3 expression in vivo. Decreased ABCA3 and abnormalities in the formation of lamellar bodies, the intracellular site of surfactant lipid storage, were observed in Stat3(Delta/Delta) mice. Expression of SREBP1a and 1c, SCAP, ABCA3, and AKT mRNAs was inhibited by deletion of Stat3 in type II cells isolated from Stat3(Delta/Delta) mice. The activities of PI3K and AKT were required for normal Abca3 gene expression in vitro. AKT activation induced SREBP expression and increased the activity of the Abca3 promoter in vitro, consistent with the role of STAT3 signaling, at least in part via SREBP, in the regulation of ABCA3. ABCA3 expression is regulated by IL-6 in a pathway that includes STAT3, PI3K, AKT, SCAP, and SREBP. Activation of STAT3 after exposure to IL-6 enhances ABCA3 expression, which, in turn, influences pulmonary surfactant homeostasis.

The issue of heavy metal pollution in aquaculture ponds is becoming increasingly severe, posing a significant threat to the healthy development of the aquaculture industry. Heavy metals such as cadmium and copper accumulate in ponds, not only exerting toxic effects on aquatic organisms and affecting their growth and reproduction but also endangering human health through the food chain. Bioremediation, as a green and environmentally friendly technology, utilizes specific organisms to absorb, transform, and immobilize heavy metals.

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters constitute a 49-member superfamily in humans. These proteins, most of them being transmembrane, allow the active transport of an important variety of substrates across biological membranes, using ATP hydrolysis as an energy source. For an important proportion of these ABC transporters, genetic variations of the loci encoding them have been correlated with rare genetic diseases, including cystic fibrosis and interstitial lung disease (variations in CFTR/ABCC7 and ABCA3) as well as cholestatic liver diseases (variations in ABCB4 and ABCB11).

Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) is a quaternary ammonium compound used widely in health and personal care products. Meanwhile, due to its increasing use, its potential adverse health effects are emerging as a topic of public concern. In this study, we first administered CPC by pharyngeal aspiration to determine the survival level (the maximum concentration at which no death is observed) and then administered CPC to mice repeatedly for 28 days using the survival level as the highest concentration.

Background: Several rare surfactant-related gene (SRG) variants associated with interstitial lung disease are suspected to be associated with lung cancer, but data are missing. We aimed to study the epidemiology and phenotype of lung cancer in an international cohort of SRG variant carriers.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of all adults with SRG variants in the OrphaLung network and compared lung cancer risk with telomere-related gene (TRG) variant carriers.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent types of malignant tumors. It's vital to explore new biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets in CRC lung metastasis through adopting integrated bioinformatics tools. Multiple cohort datasets and databases were integrated to clarify and verify potential key candidate biomarkers and signal transduction pathways in CRC lung metastasis.
