[Role of Mitochondria in Ferroptosis and Its Relationship to Tumors].

Ferroptosis is a recently discovered form of cell death that is distinct from apoptosis, characterized primarily by the accumulation of intracellular iron and increased levels of lipid peroxidation. Resistance of tumor cells to ferroptosis can promote tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Various compounds can influence tumor development by triggering ferroptosis.

Exploring the oncogenic potential of Aiolos in lung cancer through OTUB1-mediated ubiquitination.

Aiolos (IKZF3), a zinc finger transcription factor, has been identified in various solid tumors. While most research on Aiolos focuses on its role in the hematopoietic system, its expression patterns, mechanisms of action, and biological impacts in lung cancer remain relatively unexplored. This study investigates Aiolos' role in the proliferation, migration, and invasion of lung cancer cells.

L3MBTL1, a polycomb protein, promotes Osimertinib acquired resistance through epigenetic regulation of DNA damage response in lung adenocarcinoma.

Osimertinib is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) approved for patients with EGFR T790M resistance mutations as first- or second-line treatment of EGFR-positive patients. Resistance to Osimertinib will inevitably develop, and the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. In this study, we discovered that acquired resistance to Osimertinib is associated with abnormal DNA damage response (DDR) in lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Prognostic Value and Immune Landscapes of Four Types of RNA Modification Writer-Related LncRNAs Signature in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the predominant pathological subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The four primary forms of RNA adenosine modifications, N6-methyladenosine (mA), N1-methyladenosine (mA), alternative polyadenylation (APA) and adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing, play a critical role in tumor progression. However, the clinical significance of RNA modification writer-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in LUAD remains unclear.

[Role and Mechanism of Lactylation in Cancer].

Post translational modifications (PTMs) can change the properties of a protein by covalent addition of functional groups to one or more amino acids, and influence almost all aspects of normal cell biology and pathogenesis. Lactylation is a novel identified PTM, and has been found in both histone and non-histone proteins. Since associated with the end product of glycolysis-- lactate, lactylation modification could provide a new perspective for understanding the relationship between metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic modifications.

Myofibroblasts derived type V collagen promoting tissue mechanical stress and facilitating metastasis and therapy resistance of lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, with a dismal 5-year survival rate, particularly for Lung Adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Mechanical changes within the tumor microenvironment, such as extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and fibroblast activity, play pivotal roles in cancer progression and metastasis. However, the specific impact of the basement membrane (BM) on the mechanical characteristics of LUAD remains unclear.

Pan-cancer analysis predict that FAT1 is a therapeutic target and immunotherapy biomarker for multiple cancer types including non-small cell lung cancer.

FAT1, a substantial transmembrane protein, plays a pivotal role in cellular adhesion and cell signaling. Numerous studies have documented frequent alterations in FAT1 across various cancer types, with its aberrant expression being linked to unfavorable survival rates and tumor progression. In the present investigation, we employed bioinformatic analyses, as well as and experiments to elucidate the functional significance of FAT1 in pan-cancer, with a primary focus on lung cancer.

Pan-cancer analysis combined with experiments predicts NNMT as a therapeutic target for human cancers.

The identification of effective therapeutic targets plays a pivotal role in advancing cancer treatment outcomes. We employed a comprehensive pan-cancer analysis, complemented by experimental validation, to explore the potential of Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) as a promising therapeutic strategy for human cancers. By analyzing large-scale transcriptomic datasets across various cancer types, we consistently observed upregulated expression of NNMT.

Corrigendum: ITGAL expression in non-small-cell lung cancer tissue and its association with immune infiltrates.

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.

EGC enhances tumor antigen presentation and CD8 T cell-mediated antitumor immunity via targeting oncoprotein SND1.

The Staphylococcal nuclease and Tudor domain containing 1 (SND1) has been identified as an oncoprotein. Our previous study demonstrated that SND1 impedes the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) assembly by hijacking the nascent heavy chain of MHC-I to endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation. Herein, we aimed to identify inhibitors to block SND1-MHC-I binding, to facilitate the MHC-I presentation and tumor immunotherapy.

Urinary volatile organic compound metabolites and COPD among US adults: mixture, interaction and mediation analysis.

Background: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) encompass hundreds of high production volume chemicals and have been reported to be associated with adverse respiratory outcomes such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, research on the combined toxic effects of exposure to various VOCs on COPD is lacking. We aimed to assess the effect of VOC metabolite mixture on COPD risk in a large population sample.

ITGAL expression in non-small-cell lung cancer tissue and its association with immune infiltrates.

Background: Integrin subunit alpha L (ITGAL) encodes an integrin component of LFA-1 and is a membrane receptor molecule widely expressed on leukocytes. It plays a key role in the interaction between white blood cells and other cells. There was a significant correlation between the expression of ITGAL and the tumor microenvironment in a number of cancers.

[Expression of FAT1 in Lung Adenocarcinoma and Its Relationship with Immune Cell Infiltration].

Background: Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common pathological subtype, with adenocarcinoma being the predominant type.

Genomic analysis of hypoxia and mitophagy related genes with prognosis and characterization of the immune microenvironment in LUAD.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) stands as a prominent subtype within the realm of non-small cell lung cancer and constitutes a primary contributor to cancer-related mortality on a global scale. Notably, hypoxia, a prevalent attribute within solid tumor environments, and mitophagy, a selective manifestation of autophagy dedicated to the removal of damaged mitochondria, have risen to prominence as pivotal factors influencing the initiation and advancement of tumorigenesis. This investigation harnessed publicly accessible genomic datasets encompassing LUAD patients to delineate genes linked to hypoxia and mitophagy, termed hereafter as hypoxia and mitophagy-related genes (HMRGs).

[Identification and Analysis of SND1 as an Oncogene and Prognostic Biomarker for Lung Adenocarcinoma].

Background: Transcription factor (TF) can bind specific sequences that either promotes or represses the transcription of target genes, and exerts important effects on tumorigenesis, migration, invasion.

However, its role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unclear.

Interindividual- and blood-correlated sweat phenylalanine multimodal analytical biochips for tracking exercise metabolism.

In situ monitoring of endogenous amino acid loss through sweat can provide physiological insights into health and metabolism. However, existing amino acid biosensors are unable to quantitatively assess metabolic status during exercise and are rarely used to establish blood-sweat correlations because they only detect a single concentration indicator and disregard sweat rate. Here, we present a wearable multimodal biochip integrated with advanced electrochemical electrodes and multipurpose microfluidic channels that enables simultaneous quantification of multiple sweat indicators, including phenylalanine and chloride, as well as sweat rate.
