Abstract
Annual mortality of 8.2 million could be attributable to cancer globally, posing a serious health issue; particularly, the high number of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) diagnosed cases in recent years highlight the need for development in anticancer agents. In NSCLC, a number of specific inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), Protein kinase B (AKT), and mammalian target of rapamycin are currently under development; however, the early evidence has yielded disappointing results. Ent-kaurane diterpenoid compounds from Cronton tonkinensis have been investigated for several bioactivities such as antibacterial, cytotoxic activity, and so on;; however, lung cancer is not yet studied. In this study, we conducted a molecular docking study of 7 ent-kaurane diterpenoids from C tonkinensis against PI3K targeted anticancer therapies; furthermore, their cytotoxicity effects against A549 lung cancer cells were also evaluated. Obtained results indicated that compounds 7, 6, 2, and 1 exhibited significant inhibitory results in comparison to the reference drug oxaliplatin which suggests further in vitro assay for drug development.

APPBP2 enhances non-small cell lung cancer proliferation and invasiveness through regulating PPM1D and SPOP. EBioMedicine 2019; 44:138-149. [PMID: 31105033 PMCID: PMC6604516 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2019.05.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2019] [Revised: 04/15/2019] [Accepted: 05/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The influence of amyloid protein-binding protein 2 (APPBP2) on lung cancer is unknown. Methods The function and mechanisms of APPBP2 were investigated in the NSCLC cell lines A549 and H1299. The ectopic expression of APPBP2, PPM1D and SPOP in NSCLS were examined in samples collected from ten pairs of human lung adenocarcinoma cancer tissues and adjacent normal lung tissues. shRNA vector was used for APPBP2 knockdown. Quantitative PCR and western blot assays quantified the mRNA and protein level of APPBP2, PPM1D, and SPOP. Cell proliferation was measured with BrdU, MTT, colony formation assays, and xenograft tumour growth experiments. Cell migration and invasion were analysed with transwell and wound healing assays. Co-Immunoprecipitation assay detected protein–protein interactions. Findings APPBP2 was upregulated in NSCLC tissues. Silencing APPBP2 in A549 and H1299 cells resulted in the inhibition of cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, enhancement of apoptosis, and a significant decrease in the expression of PPM1D and SPOP. Overexpression of PPM1D and SPOP attenuated the APPBP2-knockdown inhibition of NSCLC cells. Co-IP assay showed that PPM1D interacted with APPBP2. Interpretation The expression level of APPBP2 positively correlates with NSCLC cell proliferation, migration, and invasiveness. APPBP2 contributes to NSCLC progression through regulating the PPM1D and SPOP signalling pathway. This novel molecular mechanism, underlying NSCLC oncogenesis, suggests APPBP2 is a potential target for diagnosis and therapeutic intervention in NSCLC.

Cancer Lett 2019; 447:56-65.

Abstract
L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) promotes invasiveness and metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and is upregulated by the p53-regulated transcription factor Slug. p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4) directly phosphorylates Slug, resulting in pro-malignant Slug stabilization. We hypothesized that microRNA-based negative regulation of PAK4 would reduce L1CAM-induced NSCLC aggressiveness via destabilizing Slug. We found that elevated L1CAM expression was tightly correlated with p53 loss-of-function and reduced NSCLC patient survival. L1CAM suppression reduced NSCLC cell migration and invasiveness in vitro as well as tumor formation and distal metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, p53 restricts L1CAM expression through the β-catenin/Slug pathway, with levels of β-catenin and Slug positively correlating with L1CAM expression in NSCLC tumors. The microRNA miR-193a-3p directly targets PAK4 and suppresses downstream p-Slug and L1CAM expression. Silencing PAK4, Slug, and L1CAM mirrored miR-193a-3p's effects upon the migration and invasiveness of NSCLC cells in vitro. Decreased miR-193a-3p levels correlated with elevated PAK4, p-Slug, and L1CAM levels in NSCLC tumors. Our findings support a model of miR-193a-3p as a suppressor of metastatic disease progression in NSCLC via modulation of the p53/Slug/L1CAM pathway.

The Role of Interleukin-17 in Lung Cancer. Mediators Inflamm 2016; 2016:8494079. [PMID: 27872514 PMCID: PMC5107223 DOI: 10.1155/2016/8494079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2016] [Revised: 08/28/2016] [Accepted: 08/31/2016] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Tumour-associated inflammation is a hallmark of malignant carcinomas, and lung cancer is a typical inflammation-associated carcinoma. Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is an important inflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and in inflammation-associated tumours. Numerous studies have shown that IL-17 directly or indirectly promotes tumour angiogenesis and cell proliferation and that it inhibits apoptosis via the activation of inflammatory signalling pathways. Therefore, IL-17 contributes to the metastasis and progression of lung cancer. Research advances with respect to the role of IL-17 in lung cancer will be presented as a review in this paper.

Abstract
Autophagy is a process of cellular self-digestion, whereby the cell degrades subcellular materials in order to generate energy and metabolic precursors in order to prolong survival, classically under conditions of nutrient deprivation. Autophagy can also involve the degradation of damaged or aged organelles, and misfolded or damaged proteins to eliminate these components that might otherwise be deleterious to cellular survival. Consequently, autophagy has generally been considered a prosurvival response. Many, if not most chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation also promote autophagy, which is generally considered a cytoprotective response, in that its inhibition frequently promotes apoptotic cells death. Furthermore, it has been shown that conventional chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation alone rarely induce a form of autophagy that leads to cell death. However, there are multiple examples in the literature where newer chemotherapeutic agents, drug combinations or drugs in combination with radiation promote autophagic cell death. This review will describe autophagic cell death induced in breast tumor cells, lung cancer cells as well as glioblastoma, demonstrating that it cannot be concluded that stress induced autophagy is, of necessity, cytoprotective in function.

Abstract
The metastatic cascade is a complex and multistep process with many potential barriers. Recent evidence has shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in carcinogenesis and tumor progression in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, by comparing the miRNA expression profiles of SPC-A-1sci (high metastatic) and SPC-A-1 (weakly metastatic) cells, we demonstrated that the downregulation and function of miR-193a-3p and miR-193a-5p in NSCLC metastasis and the expression of these miRNAs was suppressed in NSCLC compared with corresponding non-tumorous tissues. Decreased miR-193a-3p/5p expression was significantly associated with tumor node metastasis (TNM) and lymph node metastasis. Furthermore, functional assays showed that the overexpression of miR-193a-3p/5p inhibited NSCLC cell migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro and lung metastasis formation in vivo. In addition, we discovered that ERBB4 and S6K2 were the direct targets of miR-193a-3p and that PIK3R3 and mTOR were the direct targets of miR-193a-5p in NSCLC. We also observed that miR-193a-3p/5p could inactivate the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Thus, miR-193a-3p/5p functions as a tumor suppressor and has an important role in NSCLC metastasis through ERBB signaling pathway.
