Cisplatin (CDDP)-based chemotherapy resistance is a major challenge for lung cancer treatment. PKM2 is the rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis, which is associated with CDDP resistance. KAT8 is an acetyltransferase that regulates lung cancer progression. Thus, we aimed to explore whether KAT8 regulates PKM2 acetylation to participate in CDDP resistance. CDDP resistance was analyzed by CCK-8, flow cytometry and western blotting. To explore the regulation of KAT8 on PKM2, coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP), immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation followed by western blotting were performed. Glycolysis was determined using glucose consumption, lactate production, ATP level detection kits and extracellular acidification rate assay. We observed that KAT8 levels were downregulated in CDDP-treated A549 and PC9 cells. Interference with KAT8 inhibited cell viability, promoted apoptosis and upregulated PARP1 and cleaved-PARP1 levels of A549 cells treated with CDDP, suggesting the sensitivity to CDDP was enhanced, while KAT8 overexpression attenuated the CDDP sensitivity. Moreover, KAT8 interacted with PKM2 to promote the PKM2 K433 acetylation. PKM2 K433 mutated plasmids inhibited the si-KAT8-regulated cell viability, apoptosis and glycolysis compared with PKM2-WT. Besides, KAT8 reversed the inhibition of tumor growth caused by CDDP. In conclusion, KAT8-mediated PKM2 K433 acetylation was associated with the resistance of lung cancer cells to CDDP. The findings may provide a new idea for the treatment of CDDP-resistant lung cancer.

Background: Primary pulmonary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (PLELC) is a rare subtype of non-small-cell lung cancer. This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of perioperative PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in stage II-IIIB PLELC patients.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included stage II-IIIB PLELC patients.

Background: The upfront treatment of non-oncogene-addicted NSCLC relies on immunotherapy alone (ICI) or in combination with chemotherapy (CT-ICI). Genomic aberrations such as KRAS, TP53, KEAP1, SMARCA4, or STK11 may impact survival outcomes.

Methods: We performed an observational study of 145 patients treated with first-line IO or CT-ICI for advanced non-squamous (nsq) NSCLC at our institution tested with an extensive lab-developed NGS panel.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Guangzhou Institute of Cancer Research, the Affiliated Cancer Hospital, Guangzhou, Guangdong, 510095, People's Republic of China.

Background: The combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy has demonstrated an enhancement in progression-free survival (PFS) for individuals with advanced and metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) when compared to the use of chemotherapy alone. Nevertheless, the extent to which different subgroups of metastatic TNBC patients experience this benefit remains uncertain.

Objectives: Our objective was to conduct subgroup analyses to more precisely identify the factors influencing these outcomes.

Prognostic value of metabolic tumor volume on [F]FDG PET/CT in addition to the TNM classification system of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Cancer Imaging

Department of Translational Imaging in Oncology, National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT/UCC) Dresden, Medical Faculty and University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus, TUD Dresden University of Technology, Fetscherstraße 74, Dresden, 01307, Germany.

Purpose: Staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is commonly based on [F]FDG PET/CT, in particular to exclude distant metastases and guide local therapy approaches like resection and radiotherapy. Although it is hoped that PET/CT will increase the value of primary staging compared to conventional imaging, it is generally limited to the characterization of TNM. The first aim of this study was to evaluate the PET parameter metabolic tumor volume (MTV) above liver background uptake as a prognostic marker in lung cancer.
