Background: The incidence of squamous lung cancer (LUSC) has substantially increased. Systematic studies of metabolic genomic patterns are fundamental for the treatment and prediction of LUSC. Because cancer metabolism and immune cell metabolism have been studied in depth, metabolism and the state and function of immune cells have become key factors in tumor development. This also indicates that metabolic genes and the tumor immune microenvironment (TME) are crucial in tumor treatment. This study is aimed at dissecting the connection between TME and LUSC digestion-related qualities.
Methods: The information used in this study was obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset. Metabolism-related genes in patients with LUSC were screened, and relevant clinical data were collated. Next, genes associated with prognosis were screened using univariate COX regression and LASSO regression analyses. Finally, a timer database study was conducted to analyze the molecular mechanisms of immune cell infiltration of LUSC prognosis-related metabolic genes at the immune cell level.
Results: Nine metabolism-related genes were identified: , , , , , , , , and . A clinical prediction model for LUSC based on metabolism-related genes was constructed. In addition, 22 subpopulations of tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIIC) in the TME were analyzed using the CIBERSORT algorithm. Finally, we used the TIMER database to analyze the immune infiltration of LUSC and the relationship between metabolism-related genes and immune cells.
Conclusion: Our study identified metabolic genes associated with the prognosis of LUSC, which are important markers for its diagnosis, clinically relevant assessments, and prognosis. The relationship between metabolic genes with prognostic impact and immune infiltration was also analyzed, and a metabolic gene-based clinical prediction model was identified, providing a new perspective for LUSC treatment.

Many of the 'hallmarks of aging' involve alterations in cellular and organismal metabolism. One pathway with the potential to impact several traditional markers of impaired function with aging is the PI3K/AKT metabolic pathway. Regulation of this pathway includes many aspects of cellular function, including protein synthesis, proliferation and survival, as well as many downstream targets, including mTOR and FOXOs.

Background: The fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda, a highly invasive, polyphagous pest, poses a global agricultural threat. It has two strains, the C-corn and R-rice strains, each with distinct host preferences. This study compares detoxification enzyme gene families across these strains and related Spodoptera species to explore their adaptation to diverse host plant metabolites.

Background: Overdose of acetaminophen (APAP), a commonly used antipyretic analgesic, can lead to severe liver injury and failure. Current treatments are only effective in the early stages of APAP-induced acute liver injury (ALI). Therefore, a detailed examination of the mechanisms involved in liver repair following APAP-induced ALI could provide valuable insights for clinical interventions.

Intravascular hemolysis releases hemoglobin (Hb) from red blood cells under specific conditions, yet the effect of hemolysis in aquaculture systems remain poorly understood. In this study, a continuous hemolysis model for grass carp was established by injection of phenylhydrazine (PHZ) to investigate the mechanistic impacts of sustained hemolysis. PHZ-induced hemolysis altered liver color, and subsequent hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed substantial Hb accumulation in the head kidney, accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration and vacuolization in liver tissue.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is known to be a major complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and a leading cause of death in SSc patients. As the most common type of ILD, the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has not been fully elucidated. In this study, weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA), protein‒protein interaction, Kaplan-Meier curve, univariate Cox analysis and machine learning methods were used on datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.
