microRNAs (miRs) are targets for genomic aberrations and emerging treatments against cancer. It has been demonstrated that targeting miR-569 may potentially benefit patients with ovarian or breast cancer. However, the exact roles of miR-569 remain unclear in human lung cancer cells. Using the reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), it was demonstrated that miR-569 expression was consistently decreased in lung cancer cells. As well as cell proliferation and migration inhibition, apoptosis and cell arrest at the G1 phase were induced following reversion of miR-569 expression in lung cancer cells. The present study demonstrated that miR-569 was able to downregulate FOS and high mobility group A2 mRNA and protein expression using RT-qPCR and western blot analysis. The observed role of miRNA-569 in lung cancer cells in the present study suggested that it may be a novel and promising therapeutic target, and a novel biomarker for detecting lung cancer.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) increases the mortality of preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). There are no curative therapies for this disease. Lung endothelial carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (Cpt1a), the rate-limiting enzyme of the carnitine shuttle system, is reduced in a rodent model of BPD.

KRAS is a proto-oncogene that is found to be mutated in 15% of all metastatic cancers with high prevalence in pancreatic, lung, and colorectal cancers. Additionally, patients harboring KRAS mutations respond poorly to standard cancer therapy. As a result, KRAS is seen as an attractive target for targeted anticancer therapy.

Early cancer detection substantially improves the rate of patient survival; however, conventional screening methods are directed at single anatomical sites and focus primarily on a limited number of cancers, such as gastric, colorectal, lung, breast, and cervical cancer. Additionally, several cancers are inadequately screened, hindering early detection of 45.5% cases.

Background: A broncho-esophageal fistula (BEF) is a medical and surgical disaster. Treatment of BEF is often limited to palliative stent treatment that may migrate or cause erosions and tissue necrosis. Surgical repair of BEF is the only established definite treatment.
