Fra-1 is thought to play an important role in tumorigenesis and progression. This study aimed to investigate the expression and significance of Fra-1 in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). By analyzing with Western blot and immunohistochemistry, we found that Fra-1 is downregulated in NSCLC, compared with normal bronchial epithelium. Further, the low expression of Fra-1 correlates with advanced tumor stage and poor survival. Meanwhile, the distinct cytoplasmic location of Fra-1 was found in almost all immunoreactive cells. These findings reveal a potential nontranscriptional function of Fra-1, and indicate that Fra-1 might play a role in the progression and prognosis of NSCLC.

Obesity and atherosclerosis are significant metabolic diseases characterized by disrupted lipid metabolism. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, conserved, non-coding RNA sequences consisting of approximately 22 nucleotides, playing crucial roles in biological and pathological functions. Among these, miR-33a/b is particularly associated with metabolic diseases, notably obesity and atherosclerosis.

Background: Multiple studies have demonstrated that the abundance and functionality of γδ T cells are favorable prognostic indicators for prolonged survival in cancer patients. However, the association between the immunophenotype of circulating γδ T cells and the therapeutic response in NSCLC patients undergoing chemotherapy or targeted therapy remains unclear.
Methods: Patients with EGFR wild-type (EGFR-WT) or mutant (EGFR-Mut) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), diagnosed between January 2020 and January 2024, were included in this study.
