Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is associated with ageing, with the average age of affected individuals being approximately 70 years. However, despite a higher incidence and prevalence among older people, the older adult population is underrepresented in clinical trials. For LC with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutations, there is no clear association of this mutation with age. Geriatric assessments (GAs) and a multidisciplinary approach are essential for defining the optimal treatment. In this consensus, a group of experts selected from the Oncogeriatrics Section of the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (Sección de Oncogeriatría de la Sociedad Española de Oncología Médica-SEOM), the Spanish Lung Cancer Group (Grupo Español de Cáncer de Pulmón-GECP) and the Association for Research on Lung Cancer in Women (Asociación para la Investigación del Cáncer de Pulmón en Mujeres-ICAPEM) evaluate the scientific evidence currently available and propose a series of recommendations to optimize the management of older adult patients with advanced LC with EGFR mutations.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is one of the leading causes of high cancer-associated mortality worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of LC. The mechanisms of NSCLC evolution involve the alterations of multiple complex signaling pathways. Even with advances in biological understanding, early diagnosis, therapy, and mechanisms of drug resistance, many dilemmas still need to face in NSCLC treatments. However, many efforts have been made to explore the pathological changes of tumor cells based on specific molecular signals for drug therapy and targeted delivery. Nano-delivery has great potential in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors. In recent years, many studies have focused on different combinations of drugs and nanoparticles (NPs) to constitute nano-based drug delivery systems (NDDS), which deliver drugs regulating specific molecular signaling pathways in tumor cells, and most of them have positive implications. This review summarized the recent advances of therapeutic targets discovered in signaling pathways in NSCLC as well as the related NDDS, and presented the future prospects and challenges.

Abstract
The accurate prediction of potential associations between microRNAs (miRNAs) and small molecule (SM) drugs can enhance our knowledge of how SM cures endogenous miRNA-related diseases. Given that traditional methods for predicting SM-miRNA associations are time-consuming and arduous, a number of computational models have been proposed to anticipate the potential SM-miRNA associations. However, several of these strategies failed to eliminate noise from the known SM-miRNA association information or failed to prioritize the most significant known SM-miRNA associations. Therefore, we proposed a model of Graph Convolutional Network with Layer Attention mechanism for SM-MiRNA Association prediction (GCNLASMMA). Firstly, we obtained the new SM-miRNA associations by matrix decomposition. The new SM-miRNA associations, as well as the integrated SM similarity and miRNA similarity were subsequently incorporated into a heterogeneous network. Finally, a graph convolutional network with an attention mechanism was used to compute the reconstructed SM-miRNA association matrix. Furthermore, four types of cross validations and two types of case studies were performed to assess the performance of GCNLASMMA. In cross validation, global Leave-One-Out Cross Validation (LOOCV), miRNA-fixed LOOCV, SM-fixed LOOCV and 5-fold cross-validation achieved excellent performance. Numerous hypothesized associations in case studies were confirmed by experimental literatures. All of these results confirmed that GCNLASMMA is a trustworthy association inference method.

Chem Biol Drug Des 2022; 101:1048-1081.

Abstract
Angiogenin (ANG) protein plays a crucial role in angiogenesis, neovascularization, and cancer metastasis in NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) via non-coding tiRNA. It protects the cell under ER (endoplasmic reticulum) stress-induced apoptosis through the translational reprogramming process. Although B82 (Curcumin derivatives) induces ER stress-induced apoptosis, its mechanism of action was not studied. Therefore, it was hypothesized that the ribonucleolytic activity of ANG may be regulated by B82, resulting in modulated ER stress signaling for apoptosis. Hence, we designed and proposed a synthesis scheme for RNA-based anti-angiogenic derivatives of 2-deoxyuridine nucleoside forming peptide bond with amino acids like serine (Ser-3) and para-hydroxy-phenyl glycine (Normtyr-1) and compared B82 with them to know the binding affinity with ANG, anti-angiogenic potential, and its probable mechanism of anti-RNase activity through MD simulation study. Therefore, using Gromos96 43a1 and 43a2 force fields, MD simulation was performed to investigate binding affinity, ligand-induced molecular surface area change, conformational change, and dynamics of catalytic site residues to predict ligand binding to ANG in this study. The obtained binding free energy (∆Gbind ) result showed the total average ∆Gbind as -113.480 ± 1.682 (Normtyr-1) > -53.038 ± 33.069 (B82) > -27.909 ± 16.438 (Ser-3) kJ/mole specify role of B82 in regulating ER stress signaling induced apoptosis through ANG ribonucleolytic activity inhibition, suitability of 43a2 force fields and methodology in ligand screening. It shows the crucial role of Leu115 and His13 residue involvement in total ∆Gbind contribution. Hence, based on the MD result, novel conformation of catalytic residues, and ∆Gbind , a promising combination candidate could be proposed for metastatic NSCLC therapy.

Multiplexed electrokinetic sensor for detection and therapy monitoring of extracellular vesicles from liquid biopsies of non-small-cell lung cancer patients. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 193:113568.

Abstract
Liquid biopsies based on extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent a promising tool for treatment monitoring of tumors, including non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC). In this study, we report on a multiplexed electrokinetic sensor for surface protein profiling of EVs from clinical samples. The method detects the difference in the streaming current generated by EV binding to the surface of a functionalized microcapillary, thereby estimating the expression level of a marker. Using multiple microchannels functionalized with different antibodies in a parallel fluidic connection, we first demonstrate the capacity for simultaneous detection of multiple surface markers in small EVs (sEVs) from NSCLC cells. To investigate the prospects of liquid biopsies based on EVs, we then apply the method to profile sEVs isolated from the pleural effusion (PE) fluids of five NSCLC patients with different genomic alterations (ALK, KRAS or EGFR) and applied treatments (chemotherapy, EGFR- or ALK-tyrosine kinase inhibitors). The vesicles were targeted against CD9, as well as EGFR and PD-L1, two treatment targets in NSCLC. The electrokinetic signals show detection of these markers on sEVs, highlighting distinct interpatient differences, e.g., increased EGFR levels in sEVs from a patient with EGFR mutation as compared to an ALK-fusion one. The sensors also detect differences in PD-L1 expressions. The analysis of sEVs from a patient prior and post ALK-TKI crizotinib treatment reveals significant increases in the expressions of some markers (EGFR and PD-L1). These results hold promise for the application of the method for tumor treatment monitoring based on sEVs from patient liquid biopsies.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Systemic therapy for brain metastases (BM) is quickly moving from conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy toward targeted therapies, that allow a disruption of driver molecular pathways. The discovery of actionable driver mutations has led to the development of an impressive number of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), that target the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, anaplastic-lymphoma-kinase (ALK) rearrangements, and other rare molecular alterations in patients bearing metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the brain, with remarkable results in terms of intracranial disease control and overall survival. Moreover, these drugs may delay the use of local therapies, such as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT). New drugs with higher molecular specificity and ability to cross the CNS barriers (BBB, BTB and blood-CSF) are being developed. Two major issues are related to targeted therapies. First, the emergence of a resistance is a common event, and a deeper understanding of molecular pathways that are involved is critical for the successful development of effective new targeted agents. Second, an early detection of tumor progression is of utmost importance to avoid the prolongation of an ineffective therapy while changing to another drug. In order to monitor over time the treatment to targeted therapies, liquid biopsy, that allows the detection in biofluids of either circulating tumor cells (CTCs) or circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) or exosomes, is increasingly employed in clinical trials: with respect to BM the monitoring of both blood and CSF is necessary. Also, radiomics is being developed to predict the mutational status of the BM on MRI.For patients without druggable mutations or who do not respond to targeted agents, immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors is increasingly employed, alone or in combination with radiotherapy. Pseudoprogression after immunotherapy alone maybe a challenge for several months after the start of treatment, and the same is true for radionecrosis after the combination of immunotherapy and SRS. In this regard, the value of advanced MRI techniques and PET imaging for a better distinction of pseudoprogression/radionecrosis and true tumor progression is promising, but needs validation in large prospective datasets. Last, a new frontier in the near future will be chemoprevention (primary and secondary), but we need to identify among solid tumors those subgroups of patients with a higher risk of relapsing into the brain and novel drugs, active on either neoplastic or normal cells of the microenvironment, that are cooperating in the invasion of brain tissue.

Efficacy and safety of first-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) combined with chemotherapy or antiangiogenic therapy as first-line treatment in patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Crit Rev Oncol Hematol 2021; 163:103393. [PMID: 34119658 DOI: 10.1016/j.critrevonc.2021.103393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 03/16/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We conducted a meta-analysis to synthesize the results of published randomized controlled trials conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of epidermal growth factor receptor - tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) combined with chemotherapy or antiangiogenic therapy. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched and literatures from international conferences were read to identify eligible studies. The primary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and progression free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoints were disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS) and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). RESULTS 10 studies, all on first-generation EGFR-TKI combination therapy, involving 2367 patients were included. Combination therapy resulted in significant improvements in ORR (RR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.06-1.17, P < 0.001), DCR (RR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.05, P = 0.007), PFS (HR: 0.56, 95% CI: 0.51-0.62, P < 0.001), OS (HR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.64-0.84, P = 0.002) over monotherapy. This improvement was more apparent in the EGFR-TKIs combination chemotherapy group, and indirect comparisons revealed that EGFR-TKIs combined with chemotherapy appeared to be superior to combined with antiangiogenic therapy in ORR (RR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.07-1.32), DCR (RR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.02-1.08), and OS (HR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.66-0.96). Of additional concern is the increased incidence of TEAEs in combination therapy. CONCLUSION As a first-line treatment for patients with EGFR-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), first-generation EGFR-TKIs combined with chemotherapy or antiangiogenic therapy was associated with significant improvement in ORR, DCR, PFS and OS compared with monotherapy.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for more than 80% of all lung cancer cases. Recent advancements in diagnostic tools, surgical treatments, chemotherapies, and molecular targeted therapies that improved the therapeutic efficacy in NSCLC. However, the 5-years relative survival rate of NSCLC is only about 20% due to the inadequate screening methods and late onset of clinical symptoms. Dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) was frequently observed in NSCLC and closely associated with NSCLC development, progression, and metastasis through regulating their target genes. In this review, we provide an updated overview of aberrant miRNA signature in NSCLC, and discuss the possibility of miRNAs becoming a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. We also discuss the possible causes of dysregulated miRNAs in NSCLC.
