Introduction: In lung adenocarcinoma, certain mutations such as echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) are associated with lower sensitivity to chemotherapy, when used conventionally as the first-line therapy in the advanced stage of the disease.
Areas Covered: This paper discusses the clinical and therapeutic importance of ALK mutations in NSCLC and the early clinical results of a Phase I study assessing crizotinib in patients with ALK mutations.
Expert Opinion: Abnormal ALK is evolving as an important therapeutic target in patients with more aggressive lung adenocarcinoma. Further clinical studies are needed in order to assess if crizotinib, an ALK inhibitor, is able to increase the efficacy of the conventional chemotherapy in this disease subset.

Background: Circular RNAs play an important role in regulating lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Bioinformatics analysis identified circ_0015278 as differentially expressed in LUAD. However, the biological mechanism of circ_0015278 in LUAD has not been fully clarified, especially in ferroptosis.

To investigate the potential mechanisms underlying neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) confer ferroptosis resistance and CD8(+) T cell inhibition in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). By the intravenous injection of LLC cells into the tail vein, a LUAD mouse model was created. Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) stimulated neutrophils to facilitate NETs formation and combined with NETs inhibitor DNase I to explore NETs mechanism on LLC cell proliferation, migration, ferroptosis resistance, and CD8(+) T cell activity.

Human carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) plays a key role in maintaining pH homeostasis of malignant neoplasms, thus creating a favorable microenvironment for the growth, invasion, and metastasis of tumor cells. Recent studies have established that inhibition of CAIX expressed on the surface of tumor cells significantly increases the efficacy of classical chemotherapeutic agents and makes it possible to suppress the resistance of tumor cells to chemotherapy, as well as to increase their sensitivity to drugs (in particular, to reduce the required dose of cytostatic agents). In this work, we studied the ability of new CAIX inhibitors based on substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazole-containing primary aromatic sulfonamides, to potentiate the cytostatic effect of gefitinib (selective inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase domain) under hypoxic conditions.

Activation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways is vital in regulating cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and stress response, significantly affecting tumorigenesis and cancer progression. We developed a bioinformatic technique to construct an interactome network-based molecular pathways for genes of interest and quantify their activation levels using high-throughput gene expression data. This study is focused on the p38α, p38β, p38γ, and p38δ kinases, examining their activation levels (PALs) based on transcriptomic data and their associations with survival and drug responsiveness across various cancer types.

To investigate the impact of SMARCA4 mutations on the outcomes of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. In the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) MetTropism study, 960 patients with advanced EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma were screened and included in the MSK cohort, composing of 313 males and 647 females, with a median [(, )] age of 64 (56, 72) years. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 178 patients with advanced EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma who received EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) treatment in the Department of Oncology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, from January 2018 to December 2022.
