Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent one of the most promising and rapidly emerging anti-cancer therapies because they combine the cytotoxic effect of the conjugate payload and the high selectivity of the monoclonal antibody, which binds a specific membrane antigen expressed by the tumor cells. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ADCs are being investigated targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (), human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (), trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (), Mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (), and carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (). To date, Trastuzumab deruxtecan is the only ADC that has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of patients with NSCLC, but several ongoing studies, both using ADCs as monotherapy and combined with other therapies, are investigating the efficacy of new ADCs.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are widely used in cancer therapy but often show limited efficacy for solid tumors. Enhancing anti-tumor activity by fusing cytokines to tumor-targeting mAbs, which specifically activate immune cells within the tumor microenvironment, represents a promising strategy. However, the optimal design and therapeutic efficacy of antibody-cytokine fusion formats remain unclear.

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) system offers cost-effectiveness, high efficiency, precision, and ease of use compared to traditional gene editing techniques. In this study, we employed findings from prestigious investigations to develop an optimized approach for generating knockout cancer cell lines using a transient transfection method. This protocol introduces a distinctive approach that follows rigorous guidelines for designing gRNA to reduce off-target effects, a major challenge in CRISPR applications.

Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cellular adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1), an extensively studied cell surface molecule, mainly expressed by certain epithelial, endothelial, lymphoid and myeloid cells, and is an attractive target for cancer immunotherapy. Here, to investigate the anti-tumor effects and mechanisms of CEACAM1 antibody, we prepared the antibody and explored its anti-tumor effects on Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) in vitro and in vivo. Firstly, antigen of human CEACAM1 recombinant protein was immunized on BALB/c mice and the high-affinity mouse anti-human monoclonal antibody 3C11 was selected by hybridoma technique.

Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a versatile molecule that plays a critical role in various physiological and pathological processes, particularly in tumor development where its impact is bidirectional. On the one hand, it augments the immune response by promoting immune cell migration, infiltration, and the formation of immunological synapses, thus facilitating potent antitumor effects. Simultaneously, it contributes to tumor immune evasion and influences metastasis by mediating transendothelial migration (TEM), epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and epigenetic modification of tumor cells.
