Published: February 2018

MicroRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNA molecules that play crucial roles in the initiation and progression of lung cancer. This study was undertaken to investigate the expression and roles of miR-186 in lung cancer. Ectopic expression experiments demonstrated that miR-186 functions as a tumor suppressor. Bioinformatic predictions, a luciferase reporter assay, and protein expression analysis suggested that miR-186 could inhibit the protein levels of SIRT6, a purported tumor suppressor gene. Collectively, our results indicated that miR-186 could inhibit lung cancer progression through targeting SIRT6 and that miR-186 may be a therapeutic target for lung cancer.

Background: Lipids are known to be involved in carcinogenesis, but the associations between lipid profiles and different lung cancer histological classifications remain unknown.

Methods: Individuals who participated in national adult health surveillance from 2012 to 2018 were included. For patients who developed lung cancer during follow-up, a 1:2 control group of nonlung cancer participants was selected after matching.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) combined with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been the standard first-line treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the efficacy of this combination in post-line treatment is still unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of anti-PD-L1 envafolimab and novel humanized anti-VEGF suvemcitug as second-line treatment for patients with HCC.

Cancer is a major global health issue that is usually treated with multiple therapies, such as chemotherapy and targeted therapies like immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a new and alternative approach to treating various types of cancer that are difficult to treat with other methods. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown promise for long-term efficacy, they have limited effectiveness in common cancer types such as breast, prostate, and lung.
