Background: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) are the leading major histological phenotypes of all non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, the candidate genes and the potential tumorigenesis distinguishing between LUAD and LUSC were analyzed.
Methods: The present study investigated two microarray datasets (GSE28571 and GSE10245) downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was applied to screen out the candidate genes. In addition, differently expressed genes (DEGs) between lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma of the two datasets were functionally analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment. R 4.0.2 was used to perform Kaplan-Meier analysis of DSG3 (desmoglein 3) and KRT14 (keratin 14) by analyzing the expression and clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.
Results: The results revealed that 47 DEGs of the two datasets were ascertained in our study. It was found that the DEGs were mainly involved in pathways related to p63 transcription factor network and validated transcriptional factor targeting TAp63, etc. Based on the analysis, we finally identified DSG3 and KRT14 as potential biomarkers for distinguishing between LUAD and LUSC. These results suggested that DSG3 and KRT14 could have the potential to play an important role in NSCLC patients, as diagnostic markers. At the same time, DSG3 or KRT14 indicated a worse prognosis in LUSC patients, which were associated with pathways relevant to the TRAIL signaling pathway and TNF receptor signaling pathway according to bioinformatic analysis.
Conclusion: The DSG3 and KRT14 have the potential to be used as diagnostic markers, which presented here may facilitate improvements in distinguishing between LUAD and LUSC in advanced NSCLC patients.

Context: Human oral mucosa is the combustion chamber of cigarette, but scanty evidence is available about the early smoke effects.
Objective: The present work aimed at evaluating from a morphological point of view whole smoke early effects on epithelial intercellular adhesion and keratinocyte terminal differentiation in a three-dimensional model of human oral mucosa.
Materials And Methods: Biopsies of keratinized oral mucosa of healthy nonsmoking women (n = 5) were collected.

Secretory cells in submucosal glands (SMGs) secrete antibacterial proteins and mucin glycoproteins into the apical lumen of the respiratory tract, and these are critical for innate immune mucosal integrity. Glandular hyperplasia is manifested in diseases with obstructive respiratory pathologies associated with mucous hypersecretion, and is predominant in the sinus mucosa of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), cystic fibrosis (CF), and clinical symptoms of CRS. To gain insights into the molecular basis of SMG hyperplasia in CRS, gene expression microarray analyses were performed to identify the differences in global and specific gene expression in the sinus mucosa of control, CRS, and CRS/CF patients.

The desmoglein compensation hypothesis, namely that one desmoglein can compensate for loss of function of another, has been proposed to explain the tissue specificity of the autoantibody-induced loss of cell adhesion in pemphigus. To validate this hypothesis genetically, we used desmoglein-3 knockout mice (DSG3-/-) that lose their telogen hair prematurely due to loss of adhesion between keratinocytes of the telogen hair club and the outer root sheath, where the only desmoglein expressed in normal mice is desmoglein-3. To determine if desmoglein-1 could substitute for the function of desmoglein-3 in telogen hair, we produced transgenic mice that express desmoglein-1 driven off the keratin 14 promoter, and then bred the transgene (TG) into DSG3-/- mice.
