Introduction: Acute lung injury (ALI) is the critical respiratory condition. Syringin with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties can exhibit the lung protective effects. SIRT1 and STAT6 can exert protective roles against lung injury by inhibiting ferroptosis.

Methods: In the current study, A549 lung epithelial cells were treated with 200 μM HO for 2 h to establish an in vitro ALI model. Then, HO-stimulated A549 cells were treated with syringin to identify the biological role of syringin in ROS-induced ALI. Moreover, HO-stimulated A549 cells were further treated with SIRT1 inhibitor EX527 or ferroptosis activator erastin to elucidate whether syringin could exert protective effects against ROS-induced ALI depending on SIRT1/STAT6 signaling-mediated ferroptosis inhibition.

Results: It was verified that syringin treatment improved the impaired viability and mitigated inflammatory response and oxidative stress of HO-stimulated A549 lung epithelial cells by activating SIRT1/STAT6 signaling pathway. Syringin treatment inhibited the ferroptosis of HO-stimulated A549 lung epithelial cells by activating SIRT1/STAT6 signaling pathway. Treatment with SIRT1 inhibitor EX527 or ferroptosis activator erastin both reversed the alleviating effect of syringin on HO-induced A549 lung epithelial cell injury.

Conclusion: To sum up, syringin treatment alleviates HO-induced lung epithelial cell injury by activating SIRT1/STAT6 signaling pathway to inhibit ferroptosis.

In this study, novel 2-styrylquinoline derivatives possessing a planar aromatic system and a flexible side chain with an amino substituent were designed and synthesized as DNA-intercalating antitumor agents. The cytotoxic activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against four cancer cell lines including MCF-7 (breast cancer cells), A549 (lung epithelial cancer cells), HCT116 (colon cancer cells) and normal cell line L929 (mouse fibroblast cell line). The results displayed that the anti-cancer activity of the target quinolines is sensitive to the lipophilic nature of the C-6 and C-7 quinoline substituents.

The tumor suppressor fragile histidine triad (FHIT) is frequently lost in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We previously showed that a down-regulation of FHIT causes an up-regulation of the activity of HER2 associated to an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and that lung tumor cells harboring a FHIT/pHER2 phenotype are sensitive to anti-HER2 drugs. Here, we sought to decipher the FHIT-regulated HER2 signaling pathway in NSCLC.

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.

Background: Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs), including thymoma and thymic carcinoma, are rare thoracic tumors of the anterior mediastinum. For those with advanced disease, platinum-based chemotherapy is used as first-line treatment. However, there is no standard regimen established for TET at progression after initial therapy, and treatment options for advanced/recurrent TETs are limited.

We have previously reported that high-alcohol-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (HiAlc Kpn) in the gut can cause endo-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Here, we discover that 91.2% of Kpn isolates from pulmonary disease samples also produce excess ethanol, which may be associated with respiratory disease severity.
