Neuropilin 1 (NRP1) is upregulated in various types of malignant tumors, especially non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the precise mechanisms for membrane localization and regulation are not fully understood. Observations from super-resolution microscopy have revealed that NRP1 tends to form nanoscale clusters on the cell membrane, with these clusters varying significantly in size and density across different regions. Further research has shown that stimulation by hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) can reorganize the distribution of NRP1, reducing the number of small clusters while promoting the formation of larger ones. This suggests a propensity for internalization after activation. Additionally, dual-color dSTORM imaging has demonstrated a certain degree of colocalization between NRP1 and c-MET, indicating that c-MET plays an important role in stabilizing NRP1 clusters. This study provides new insights into the mechanism behind NRP1's clustered distribution on cell membranes and paves the way for developing more effective therapeutic strategies targeting NRP1 within tumors.

Background: The impact of incorporating immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) into standard chemotherapy on the severity and risk of myelosuppression in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remains uncertain.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of phase 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated ICIs in people with NSCLC. A comprehensive search of four databases, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, was carried out from inception to 30 October 2023.

Background: Our study aimed to explore the specific functions and potential mechanisms of miR-224-5p in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: We first analyzed the expression of miR-224-5p in NSCLC patients and cell lines through the GEO database and qRT-PCR analysis. Then, we used MTT assays, wound healing assays, Transwell assays, and western blotting to evaluate the effects of miR-224-5p on NSCLC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Background: The clinical implications of different EML4-ALK fusion variants remain poorly elucidated in the era of second-generation ALK inhibitors.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study, wherein patients diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer harboring EML4-ALK fusion were stratified into two cohorts based on their first-line treatment: Cohort 1 received alectinib, while Cohort 2 received crizotinib. Statistical analysis was employed to investigate the impact of different EML4-ALK variants and TP53 status on the efficacy of first-line ALK-TKIs.
