Background: The strategies for achieving anti-metastasis have received increased research interest and clinical attention. The anoikis-sensitizing effect of ecteinascidin 770 (ET-770) was investigated in the present study in non-small cell lung cancer cells.
Materials And Methods: ET-770 isolated from Ecteinascidia thurstoni was tested for its anoikis-sensitizing effect on H23 and H460 human lung cancer cells by 2,3-b-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide salt (XTT) assay. The levels of proteins being involved in anoikis of cells were determined by western blot analysis.
Results: ET-770 was shown to enhance anoikis response of human lung cancer H23 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The underlying mechanism was investigated and it was found that ET-770 sensitized the cells by activating the p53 protein, which in turn down-regulated anti-apoptotic myeloid cell leukemia sequence-1 (MCL1) and up-regulated BCL2-associated X protein (BAX) proteins. However, B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL2) proteins were not significantly affected by ET-770. Further, the anoikis sensitization of ET-770 was observed in H460 lung cancer cells.
Conclusion: The present results reveal for the first time that ET-770 can sensitize anoikis through the p53 pathway and further development of this compound for therapeutic use is warranted.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that arises from diverse etiological factors, resulting in structural alterations and functional impairment of the kidneys. We aimed to establish the Anoikis-related gene signature in CKD by bioinformatics analysis.
Methods: We retrieved 3 datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs), followed by Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) of them, which were intersected with Anoikis-related genes (ARGs) to derive Anoikis-related differentially expressed genes (ARDEGs).

Background: The Arp2/3 complex is a key regulator of tumor metastasis, and targeting its subunits offers potential for anti-metastatic therapy. However, the expression profiles, prognostic relevance, and diagnostic value of its subunits across cancers remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the clinical relevance of Arp2/3 complex subunits, particularly ARPC1A, in pan-cancer, and to further analyze the potential biological mechanisms of ARPC1A, as well as its association with immune infiltration and chemotherapy drug sensitivity.

In this article, we report the first case of a 61-year-old woman who was diagnosed with both nodules and cystic lesions in her lungs. The lung nodules were diagnosed as ALK-positive histiocytosis (APH) carrying an gene fusion, which microscopically displayed a mixed morphology of foamy cells, spindle cells, and Touton's giant cells. Immunohistochemistry showed expression of CD163, CD68, and ALK, while fluorescence hybridization (FISH) with second-generation sequencing (NGS) showed the ALK gene fusion with the FLCN gene variant.

Unlabelled: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have been shown to play a crucial role in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Exosomes derived from CAFs have emerged as important mediators of intercellular communication in the tumor microenvironment, contributing to cancer progression. Therefore, it is essential to further investigate the mechanisms by which CAF-derived exosomes regulate NSCLC.
