Background: In the past decade, immunotherapy has become a major choice for the treatment of lung cancer, yet its therapeutic efficacy is still relatively limited due to the various immune escape mechanisms of tumors. Based on this, we introduce Neo-BCV, a novel bacterial composite vaccine designed to enhance immune responses against lung cancer.

Methods: We investigated the immune enhancing effect of Neo-BCV through in vivo and in vitro experiments, including flow cytometry, RNA-seq, and Western blot.

Results: We have demonstrated that Neo-BCV can promote Dendritic cells (DCs) maturation and induce DCs differentiation into pro-inflammatory subgroups, significantly enhancing cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated anti-tumor responses. Transcriptome sequencing revealed that Neo-BCV exerts its effects by specifically inhibiting the JAK2-STAT3 signaling pathway, a crucial regulator of cancer progression, metabolism, and inflammation. Moreover, Neo-BCV significantly improved the immune microenvironment in both tumor and spleen tissues without inducing notable toxic effects in major organs.

Conclusions: These findings highlight Neo-BCV's potential as a safe and effective therapeutic strategy, offering a novel avenue for clinical translation in lung cancer immunotherapy.

Background: Erlotinib is a potent first-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Due to its proximity to the upper limit of tolerability, dose adjustments are often necessary to manage potential adverse reactions resulting from its pharmacokinetic (PK) variability.

Methods: Population PK studies of erlotinib were identified using PubMed databases.

The p60 subunit of the chromatin assembly factor-1 complex, that is, chromatin assembly factor-1 subunit B (CHAF1B), is a histone H3/H4 chaperone crucial for the transcriptional regulation of cell differentiation and self-renewal. CHAF1B is overexpressed in several cancers and may represent a potential target for cancer therapy. However, its expression and clinical significance in lung squamous-cell carcinoma (LUSC) remain unclear.

Supportive and Palliative Care Service, Strasbourg University Hospital, Strasbourg Translational Medicine Federation (FMTS), Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France.

Purpose: Sleep quality contributes to the improvement of quality of life in cancer patients. However, sleep disturbances, of variable and heterogeneous etiologies, are common and frequently overlooked in lung cancer patients. The present study undertakes a rapid review of available peer-reviewed literature on sleep quality in lung cancer patients, specifically non-small-cell lung cancer patients.

As a promising candidate for tackling drug-resistant cancers, triptolide, a diterpenoid derived from the Chinese medicinal plant Tripterygium wilfordii, has been developed. This review summarizes potential antitumor activities, including the suppression of RNA polymerase II, the suppression of heat shock proteins (HSP70 and HSP90), and the blockade of NF-kB signalling. Triptolide is the first known compound to target cancer cells specifically but spare normal cells, and it has success in treating cancers that are difficult to treat, including pancreatic, breast, and lung cancers.
