Abstract:
... Given the heterogeneous responses to therapy and the high cost of treatments, there is an increasing interest in identifying pretreatment predictors of therapeutic effect. Clearly, the success of such an endeavor will depend on the amount of information that the patient‐specific variables convey about the individual causal treatment effect on the response of interest. In the present work, using ca ...

Abstract:
... We explored the shape of the exposure-response relationship of arsenic-related lung cancer and the interaction between arsenic and tobacco use. A total of 3278 tin miners with at least 10 years of arsenic exposure were enrolled since 1992 and followed up for 27 years. After excluding radon-exposed miners and former smokers, 1620 miners were included into the sub-cohort. Lung cancer risks were esti ...

Abstract:
... The susceptibility of cancer cells to natural killer (NK) cell–mediated cytotoxicity depends on the balance of activating and inhibitory ligands expressed on their surface. Although many types of cancer cells are killed by NK cells, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells are relatively resistant to NK cell–mediated cytotoxicity. In this study, we showed that several NSCLC cell lines have differe ...

Abstract:
... KDM6A is the disease causative gene of type 2 Kabuki Syndrome, a rare multisystem disease; it is also a known cancer driver gene, with multiple somatic mutations found in a few cancer types. In this study, we looked at eleven missense variants in lung squamous cell carcinoma, one of the most common lung cancer subtypes, to see how they affect the KDM6A catalytic mechanisms. We found that they infl ...

Abstract:
... Two series of germacrane-type sesquiterpene lactones were produced by semisynthetic modulation of scaberol C, which was prepared by a standard chemical transformation from an Elephantopus scaber extract. Their inhibition activities against non-small-cell lung cancer cells were screened, and preliminary structure–activity relationships were also established. Among them, monomeric analog 1u and dime ...

Abstract:
... While CRISPR screens are helping uncover genes regulating many cell-intrinsic processes, existing approaches are suboptimal for identifying extracellular gene functions, particularly in the tissue context. Here, we developed an approach for spatial functional genomics called Perturb-map. We applied Perturb-map to knock out dozens of genes in parallel in a mouse model of lung cancer and simultaneou ...

Abstract:
... Alternative splicing (AS) is a biological operation that enables a messenger RNA to encode protein variants (isoforms) that give one gene several functions or properties. This process provides one of the major sources of use for understanding the proteomic diversity of multicellular organisms. In combination with post-translational modifications, it contributes to generating a variety of protein–p ...

Abstract:
... Considering the clinical limitations of individual approaches against metastatic lung cancer, the use of combined therapy can potentially improve the therapeutic effect of treatment. However, determination of the appropriate strategy of combined treatment can be challenging. In this study, combined chemo- and radionuclide therapy has been realized using radionuclide carriers (¹⁷⁷Lu-labeled core-sh ...

Hb does not need to be treated prior to using indicating the potential for synthetic engineering in complex biological microenvironments without the need for in vitro techniques. Here, we report a new signal amplification strategy ...

Abstract:
... PURPOSE: The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends lung cancer screening with Low‐Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) in high‐risk individuals. Our objective was to identify demographic, health, and financial factors associated with screening uptake, with a focus on urban–rural differences. METHODS: We analyzed data from the 2018 and 2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and its optio ...

Abstract:
... Genetic variants and modifiable risk factors (including environmental exposure and lifestyle) greatly contribute to the development of lung cancer. The population attributable fraction (PAF) of these risk factors, especially their interactive effects, has not been well quantified. A total of 398,577 participants were included in this analysis. There were 2504 incident lung cancer cases identified ...

In order to improve the potential of celastrol against non-small-cell lung cancer cells, the privileged structure, thiazolidinedione, was introduced into its C-20 carboxylic group with acetylpiperazine as a linker, and the thiazolidinedione-conjugated compounds 10a–10t were prepared. The target compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against the A549 cell line, and the results show ...

Abstract:
... Lung cancer is the foremost cause of cancer related mortality among men and one of the most fatal cancers among women. Notably, the 5-year survival rate of lung cancer is very low; 5% in developing countries. This low survival rate can be attributed to factors like late stage diagnosis, rapid postoperative recurrences in the patients undergoing treatment and development of chemoresistance against ...

Abstract:
... Magnetic levitation (MagLev) provides a simple but promising method for density-based analysis and detection down to the individual cell level. However, each existing MagLev configuration for the single-cell density measurement, mainly consisting of a capillary (∼50 mm) placed between two magnets, yields a fairly low sample utilization because of no knowledge about the sample cells in the regions ...
