Claudin18 (CLDN18) is necessary for intercellular junctions and is reported to be involved in cell migration and metastasis, making it like an oncogene in various cancer types. However, the biological function and regulatory mechanisms of CLDN18 in lung adenocarcinoma are not yet clear. In this study, we found downregulation of miR-767-3p and upregulation of in lung adenocarcinoma tissue and cell lines. In addition, there was a negative correlation between the expression of miR-767-3p and CLDN18 in lung adenocarcinoma. Double luciferase reporter gene analysis showed that miR-767-3p modulates the expression of CLDN18 by binding its 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTR). Knockdown of CLDN18 results in a decrease in the growth, migration, and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells. Although overexpression of miR-767-3p inhibits lung adenocarcinoma cell growth and migration, these effects can be rescued by reexpressing CLDN18. In summary, the data suggest that miR-767-3p inhibits tumor cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by targeting CLDN18, providing a promising therapeutic target for lung adenocarcinoma.

Importance: Sensitivity to environmental stress and adversity may influence lung cancer risk, highlighting a critical link between psychosocial factors and cancer etiology.
Objective: To evaluate whether genetically estimated sensitivity to environmental stress and adversity is associated with lung cancer risk.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Data were obtained from a genome-wide association study identifying 37 independent genetic variants strongly associated with sensitivity to environmental stress and adversity and a cross-ancestry genome-wide meta-analysis from the International Lung Cancer Consortium.

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Its complex molecular mechanisms and high tumor heterogeneity pose significant challenges for clinical treatment. The manganese ion metabolism family plays a crucial role in various biological processes, and the abnormal expression of the NUDT3 gene in multiple cancers has drawn considerable attention.

Background: To accurately identify spread through air spaces (STAS) in clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma, our study developed a non-invasive and interpretable biomarker combining clinical and radiomics features using preoperative CT.
Methods: The study included a cohort of 1,325 lung adenocarcinoma patients from three centers, which was divided into four groups: a training cohort ( = 930), a testing cohort ( = 238), an external validation 1 cohort ( = 93), and 2 cohort ( = 64). We collected clinical characteristics and semantic features, and extracted radiomics features.
Imaging-based spatial transcriptomics (ST) is evolving rapidly as a pivotal technology in studying the biology of tumors and their associated microenvironments. However, the strengths of the commercially available ST platforms in studying spatial biology have not been systematically evaluated using rigorously controlled experiments. In this study, we used serial 5-µm sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma and pleural mesothelioma tumor samples in tissue microarrays to compare the performance of the single cell ST platforms CosMx, MERFISH, and Xenium (uni/multi-modal) platforms in reference to bulk RNA sequencing, multiplex immunofluorescence, GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler, and hematoxylin and eosin staining data for the same samples.
