Fibronectin (FN) type III domain containing 3B (FNDC3B), a member of the FN family, regulates the invasion and metastasis of cells in numerous tumor types. However, the mechanisms through which FNDC3B regulates carcinogenesis in lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) tissues have remained elusive. The present study revealed that the protein levels of FNDC3B and vimentin were significantly elevated in LADC tissues compared with those in normal lung tissues. By contrast, the expression of E-cadherin was decreased in LADC tissues compared with that in normal lung tissues. Furthermore, the aberrant expression of FNDC3B and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers was significantly associated with histological differentiation, lymph node metastasis and tumor-nodes-metastasis stage. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that a high expression of FNDC3B may be associated with poor overall survival of patients with LADC. In addition, overexpression of FNDC3B promoted the protein expression of EMT-associated genes in the A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell line. In conclusion, the present results support the notion that FNDC3B acts as an oncogene in LADC; it may serve a pivotal role in the development and progression of LADC and may participate in the regulation of the EMT.

Objective: Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) of respiratory cytology specimens is a critical technique for accurate and timely diagnosis of lung cancer. However, in China, limited familiarity with the Diff-Quik staining method and a shortage of trained cytopathologists hamper utilization of ROSE. Therefore, developing an improved deep learning model to assist clinicians in promptly and accurately evaluating Diff-Quik stained cytology samples during ROSE has important clinical value.

Molecular subtypes, such as defined by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), delineate a cancer's underlying biology, bringing hope to inform a patient's prognosis and treatment plan. However, most approaches used in the discovery of subtypes are not suitable for assigning subtype labels to new cancer specimens from other studies or clinical trials. Here, we address this barrier by applying five different machine learning approaches to multi-omic data from 8,791 TCGA tumor samples comprising 106 subtypes from 26 different cancer cohorts to build models based upon small numbers of features that can classify new samples into previously defined TCGA molecular subtypes-a step toward molecular subtype application in the clinic.

Background: With extended gefitinib treatment, the therapeutic effect in some non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients declined with the development of drug resistance. Aidi injection (ADI) is utilized in various cancers as a traditional Chinese medicine prescription. This study explores the molecular mechanism by which ADI, when combined with gefitinib, attenuates gefitinib resistance in PC9GR NSCLC cells.

To shed light on the significance of thiazole derivatives in the advancement of cancer medication and to contribute to therapeutic innovation, we have designed the synthesis and antiproliferative activity investigation of 5-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)-7-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-thioxo-3,7-dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-d] thiazole-6-carbonitrile, the structure of thiazole derivative was confirmed by spectroscopic techniques UV, IR and NMR. The cytotoxic activity (in vitro) of the new hybrid synthesized compound on five human cancer cell lines; human liver hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2), colorectal carcinoma (HCT-116), breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), and epithelioid carcinoma (Hela), and a normal human lung fibroblast (WI-38) was studied using MTT assay. The compound exhibited a strong cytotoxicity effect against HepG-2 and MCF-7.
