Abstract
Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate among all cancers worldwide. The 5-year overall survival rate for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is estimated at around 26%, whereas for small cell lung cancer (SCLC), the survival rate is only approximately 7%. This disease places a significant financial and psychological burden on individuals worldwide. The symbiotic microbiota in the human body has been significantly associated with the occurrence, progression, and prognosis of various diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis. Studies have demonstrated that respiratory symbiotic microorganisms and their metabolites play a crucial role in modulating immune function and contributing to the pathophysiology of lung cancer through their interactions with the host. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the microbial characteristics associated with lung cancer, with a focus on the respiratory tract microbiota from different locations, including saliva, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), bronchial brush samples, and tissue. We describe the respiratory tract microbiota's biodiversity characteristics by anatomical region, elucidating distinct pathological features, staging, metastasis, host chromosomal mutations, immune therapies, and the differentiated symbiotic microbiota under the influence of environmental factors. Our exploration investigates the intrinsic mechanisms linking the microbiota and its host. Furthermore, we have also provided a comprehensive review of the immune mechanisms by which microbiota are implicated in the development of lung cancer. Dysbiosis of the respiratory microbiota can promote or inhibit tumor progression through various mechanisms, including DNA damage and genomic instability, activation and regulation of the innate and adaptive immune systems, and stimulation of epithelial cells leading to the upregulation of carcinogenesis-related pathways.

Abstract
Background The elevated mortality rate associated with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a well-established global concern. Considerable attention has been directed toward exploring the association between gut microbiota and various malignant tumors. We herein investigated the associations between the intestinal microbiome and its metabolites, particularly short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), in patients with NSCLC at different stages, including early and brain metastasis (BM) stages. The findings aim to offer a fresh perspective on the diagnosis and management of NSCLC. Methods Fecal samples were collected from 115 participants, comprising healthy controls (n = 35) and patients with treatment-naive NSCLC at the early stage (ELC, n = 40) and the BM stage (n = 40). Characterization of the intestinal microbiome and fecal SCFA levels was performed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and gas chromatography. Results The microbial diversity in patients with NSCLC was found to be less abundant and uniform, particularly in the BM stage. Significant alterations in the community structure of the gut microbiota were observed in patients with NSCLC, with an increase in pathogens in Fusobacteria and Proteobacteria and a decrease in SCFA-producing bacteria in Firmicutes and Actinobacteria, particularly in the BM stage. Meanwhile, microbial communities displayed intricate associations in patients with NSCLC. A biomarker panel (Faecalibacterium, Bifidobacterium, Butyricicoccus, Klebsiella, Streptococcus, and Blautia) successfully distinguished patients in the ELC and BM stages from healthy controls (area under the curve: 0.884). The overall concentration of fecal SCFAs was significantly lower in patients with BM compared to patients with ELC and healthy controls. Subgroup analysis of acetate and butyrate yielded similar results. Moreover, multiple disrupted pathways in the NSCLC group were identified using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes annotation, including lipid metabolism and genetic information processing, specifically in the BM stage. Conclusion Compared with healthy controls, distinct host-microbe interactions were evident in different phases of patients with NSCLC. Furthermore, specific forms of the gut microbiome and SCFAs may serve as valuable biomarkers and therapeutic targets in the diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC.

Abstract
Pulmonary surfactant is a lipoprotein synthesized and secreted by alveolar type II cells in lung. We evaluated the associations between 200,139 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of 40 surfactant-related genes and lung cancer risk using genotyped data from two independent lung cancer genome-wide association studies. Discovery data included 18,082 cases and 13,780 controls of European ancestry. Replication data included 1,914 cases and 3,065 controls of European descent. Using multivariate logistic regression, we found novel SNPs in surfactant-related genes CTSH [rs34577742 C > T, odds ratio (OR) = 0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.89-0.93, P = 7.64 × 10-9] and SFTA2 (rs3095153 G > A, OR = 1.16, 95% CI = 1.10-1.21, P = 1.27 × 10-9) associated with overall lung cancer in the discovery data and validated in an independent replication data-CTSH (rs34577742 C > T, OR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.80-0.96, P = 5.76 × 10-3) and SFTA2 (rs3095153 G > A, OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.01-1.28, P = 3.25 × 10-2). Among ever smokers, we found SNPs in CTSH (rs34577742 C > T, OR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.85-0.92, P = 1.94 × 10-7) and SFTA2 (rs3095152 G > A, OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.14-1.27, P = 4.25 × 10-11) associated with overall lung cancer in the discovery data and validated in the replication data-CTSH (rs34577742 C > T, OR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.79-0.97, P = 1.64 × 10-2) and SFTA2 (rs3095152 G > A, OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.01-1.30, P = 3.81 × 10-2). Subsequent transcriptome-wide association study using expression weights from a lung expression quantitative trait loci study revealed genes most strongly associated with lung cancer are CTSH (PTWAS = 2.44 × 10-4) and SFTA2 (PTWAS = 2.32 × 10-6).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Tobacco smoking is known to cause cancers potentially predisposed by genetic risks. We compared the frequency of gene mutations using a next generation sequencing database of smokers and nonsmokers with prostate cancer (PCa) to identify subsets of patients with potential genetic risks. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from the American Association for Cancer Research Project Genomics Evidence Neoplasia Information Exchange (GENIE) registry was analyzed. The GENIE registry contains clinically annotated sequenced tumor samples. We included 1832 men with PCa in our cohort, categorized as smokers and nonsmokers, and compared the frequency of mutations (point mutations, copy number variations, and structural variants) of 47 genes with more than 5% mutation rate between the two categories and correlated with overall survival using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Overall, 1007 (55%) patients were nonsmokers, and 825 (45%) were smokers. The mutation frequency was significantly higher in smokers compared to nonsmokers, 47.6% and 41.3%, respectively (p = 0.02). The median tumor mutational burden was also significantly higher in the samples from smokers (3.59 mut/MB) compared to nonsmokers (1.87 mut/MB) (p < 0.001). Patients with a smoking history had a significantly higher frequency of PREX2, PTEN, AGO2, KMT2C, and a lower frequency of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and KMT2A mutations than compared to nonsmokers. The overall mortality rate (28.5% vs. 22.8%) was significantly higher among smokers (p = 0.006). On a multivariate logistic regression analysis, the presence of metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis (OR: 2.26, 95% CI: 1.78-2.89, p < 0.001), smoking history (OR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.05-1.65, p = 0.02), and higher frequency of PTEN somatic gene mutation (OR: 1.89, 95% CI: 1.46-2.45, p < 0.001) were independent predictors of increased overall mortality among patients with PCa. Patients with PTEN mutation had poorer overall survival compared to men without PTEN mutations: 96.00 (95% CI: 65.36-113.98) and 120.00 (95% CI: 115.05-160.00) months, respectively (p < 0.001) irrespective of smoking history although the G129R PTEN mutation was characteristically detected in smokers. CONCLUSIONS PCa patients with a tobacco smoking history demonstrated a significantly higher frequency of somatic genetic mutations. Whereas mutations of PREX2, KMT2C, AGO2, and PTEN genes were higher in smokers, the APC and KMT2A mutations were higher in nonsmokers. The PTEN somatic gene mutation was associated with increased overall mortality among patients with PCa irrespective of smoking history. We found that G129R PTEN mutation known to reduce the PTEN phosphatase activity and K267Rfs*9 a frameshift deletion mutation in the C2 domain of PTEN associated with membrane binding exclusively detected in smokers and nonsmokers, respectively. These findings may be used to further our understanding of PCa associated with smoking.

Abstract
Background Emerging evidence suggests a potential link between psychological distress (anxiety and depression) and lung cancer risk, however, it is unclear whether other factors such as tobacco smoking and genetic susceptibility modify the association. Methods We included 405,892 UK Biobank participants free of cancer at baseline. Psychological distress was measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4). A polygenic risk score (PRS) was calculated using 18 lung cancer-associated genetic loci. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results During a median follow-up of 7.13 years, 1754 lung cancer cases were documented. The higher score of psychological distress was associated with an increased risk of lung cancer (HRper 1-SD= 1.07, 95% CI: 1.02-1.11) after adjustment for smoking and other confounders. Mediation analysis revealed that 16.8% (95% CI: 13.0%-20.6%) of the distress-lung cancer association was mediated by smoking. Compared with never smokers with no distress, participants with heavy smoking and high distress had the highest risk of lung cancer (HR=18.57, 95% CI: 14.51-23.76). Both multiplicative and additive interactions were observed between smoking and psychological distress in lung cancer. Furthermore, the greatest relative increase in risk was observed among those with high genetic risk and high distress (HR=1.87, 95%CI: 1.50-2.33), and there was a significant additive interaction between the PRS and psychological distress. Conclusion Our results indicate that psychological distress was associated with an elevated risk of incident lung cancer, and such relation was modified by tobacco smoking and genetic susceptibility.

Abstract
Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer. Known risk variants explain only a small fraction of lung adenocarcinoma heritability. Here, we conducted a two-stage genome-wide association study of lung adenocarcinoma of East Asian ancestry (21,658 cases and 150,676 controls; 54.5% never-smokers) and identified 12 novel susceptibility variants, bringing the total number to 28 at 25 independent loci. Transcriptome-wide association analyses together with colocalization studies using a Taiwanese lung expression quantitative trait loci dataset (n = 115) identified novel candidate genes, including FADS1 at 11q12 and ELF5 at 11p13. In a multi-ancestry meta-analysis of East Asian and European studies, four loci were identified at 2p11, 4q32, 16q23, and 18q12. At the same time, most of our findings in East Asian populations showed no evidence of association in European populations. In our studies drawn from East Asian populations, a polygenic risk score based on the 25 loci had a stronger association in never-smokers vs. individuals with a history of smoking (Pinteraction = 0.0058). These findings provide new insights into the etiology of lung adenocarcinoma in individuals from East Asian populations, which could be important in developing translational applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tobacco smoking is an established risk factor for colorectal cancer. However, genetically defined population subgroups may have increased susceptibility to smoking-related effects on colorectal cancer. METHODS A genome-wide interaction scan was performed including 33,756 colorectal cancer cases and 44,346 controls from three genetic consortia. RESULTS Evidence of an interaction was observed between smoking status (ever vs. never smokers) and a locus on 3p12.1 (rs9880919, P = 4.58 × 10-8), with higher associated risk in subjects carrying the GG genotype [OR, 1.25; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.20-1.30] compared with the other genotypes (OR <1.17 for GA and AA). Among ever smokers, we observed interactions between smoking intensity (increase in 10 cigarettes smoked per day) and two loci on 6p21.33 (rs4151657, P = 1.72 × 10-8) and 8q24.23 (rs7005722, P = 2.88 × 10-8). Subjects carrying the rs4151657 TT genotype showed higher risk (OR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.09-1.16) compared with the other genotypes (OR <1.06 for TC and CC). Similarly, higher risk was observed among subjects carrying the rs7005722 AA genotype (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.07-1.28) compared with the other genotypes (OR <1.13 for AC and CC). Functional annotation revealed that SNPs in 3p12.1 and 6p21.33 loci were located in regulatory regions, and were associated with expression levels of nearby genes. Genetic models predicting gene expression revealed that smoking parameters were associated with lower colorectal cancer risk with higher expression levels of CADM2 (3p12.1) and ATF6B (6p21.33). CONCLUSIONS Our study identified novel genetic loci that may modulate the risk for colorectal cancer of smoking status and intensity, linked to tumor suppression and immune response. IMPACT These findings can guide potential prevention treatments.

Abstract
Lung cancer is a disease that in recent years has become one of the greatest threats to modern society. Every year there are more and more new cases and the percentage of deaths caused by this type of cancer increases. Despite many studies, scientists are still looking for answers regarding the mechanisms of lung cancer development and progression, with particular emphasis on the role of the immune system. The aim of this literature review was to present the importance of disorders of the immune system and the accompanying changes at the level of cell signaling in the pathogenesis of lung cancer. The collected results showed that in the process of immunopathogenesis of almost all subtypes of lung cancer, changes in the tumor microenvironment, deregulation of immune checkpoints and abnormalities in cell signaling pathways are involved, which contribute to the multistage and multifaceted carcinogenesis of this type of cancer. We, therefore, suggest that in future studies, researchers should focus on a detailed analysis of tumor microenvironmental immune checkpoints, and to validate their validity, perform genetic polymorphism analyses in a wide range of patients and healthy individuals to determine the genetic susceptibility to lung cancer development. In addition, further research related to the analysis of the tumor microenvironment; immune system disorders, with a particular emphasis on immunological checkpoints and genetic differences may contribute to the development of new personalized therapies that improve the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
Background: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States, is the most diagnosed form of lung cancer. While lung cancer incidence has steadily declined over the last decade, disparities in incidence and mortality rates persist among African American (AA), Caucasian American (CA), and Hispanic American (HA) populations. Researchers continue to explore how genetic ancestry may influence differential outcomes in lung cancer risk and development. The purpose of this evaluation is to highlight experimental research that investigates the differential impact of genetic mutations and ancestry on NSCLC incidence. Methods: This systematic review was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar search engines. The following key search terms were used to select articles published between 2011 and 2022: "African/European/Latin American Ancestry NSCLC"; "Racial Disparities NSCLC"; "Genetic Mutations NSCLC"; "NSCLC Biomarkers"; "African Americans/Hispanic Americans/Caucasian Americans NSCLC incidence." Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and studies outside of the US were excluded. A total of 195 articles were initially identified and after excluding 156 which did not meet eligibility criteria, 38 were included in this investigation. Results: Studies included in this analysis focused on racial/ethnic disparities in the following common genetic mutations observed in NSCLC: KRAS, EGFR, TP53, PIK3CA, ALK Translocations, ROS-1 Rearrangements, STK11, MET, and BRAF. Results across studies varied with respect to absolute differential expression. No significant differences in frequencies of specific genetic mutational profiles were noted between racial/ethnic groups. However, for HAs, lower mutational frequencies in KRAS and STK11 genes were observed. In genetic ancestry level analyses, multiple studies suggest that African ancestry is associated with a higher frequency of EGFR mutations. Conversely, Latin ancestry is associated with TP53 mutations. At the genomic level, several novel predisposing variants associated with African ancestry and increased risk of NSCLC were discovered. Family history among all racial/ethnic groups was also considered a risk factor for NSCLC. Conclusion: Results from racially and ethnically diverse studies can elucidate driving factors that may increase susceptibility and subsequent lung cancer risk across different racial/ethnic groups. Identification of biomarkers that can be used as diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic tools may help improve lung cancer survival among high-risk populations.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study constructs a lung cancer risk index (LCRI) that incorporates many modifiable risk factors using an easily reproducible and adaptable method that relies on publicly available data. METHODS We used meta-analysis followed by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to generate a lung cancer risk index (LCRI) that incorporates seven modifiable risk factors (active smoking, indoor air pollution, occupational exposure, alcohol consumption, secondhand smoke exposure, outdoor air pollution, and radon exposure) for lung cancer. Using county-level population data, we then performed a case study in which we tailored the LCRI for use in the state of Illinois (LCRIIL). RESULTS For both the LCRI and the LCRIIL, active smoking had the highest weights (46.1% and 70%, respectively), whereas radon had the lowest weights (3.0% and 5.7%, respectively). The weights for alcohol consumption were 7.8% and 14.7% for the LCRI and the LCRIIL, respectively, and were 3.8% and 0.95% for outdoor air pollution. Three variables were only included in the LCRI: indoor air pollution (18.5%), occupational exposure (13.2%), and secondhand smoke exposure (7.6%). The Consistency Ratio (CR) was well below the 0.1 cut point. The LCRIIL was moderate though significantly correlated with age-adjusted lung cancer incidence (r = 0.449, P < 0.05) and mortality rates (r = 0.495, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION This study presents an index that incorporates multiple modifiable risk factors for lung cancer into one composite score. Since the LCRI allows data comprising the composite score to vary based on the location of interest, this measurement tool can be used for any geographic location where population-based data for individual risk factors exist. Researchers, policymakers, and public health professionals may utilize this framework to determine areas that are most in need of lung cancer-related interventions and resources.

Abstract
Differences by sex in lung cancer incidence and mortality have been reported which cannot be fully explained by sex differences in smoking behavior, implying existence of genetic and molecular basis for sex disparity in lung cancer development. However, the information about sex dimorphism in lung cancer risk is quite limited despite the great success in lung cancer association studies. By adopting a stringent two-stage analysis strategy, we performed a genome-wide gene-sex interaction analysis using genotypes from a lung cancer cohort including ~ 47 000 individuals with European ancestry. Three low-frequency variants (minor allele frequency < 0.05), rs17662871 [odds ratio (OR) = 0.71, P = 4.29×10-8); rs79942605 (OR = 2.17, P = 2.81×10-8) and rs208908 (OR = 0.70, P = 4.54×10-8) were identified with different risk effect of lung cancer between men and women. Further expression quantitative trait loci and functional annotation analysis suggested rs208908 affects lung cancer risk through differential regulation of Coxsackie virus and adenovirus receptor gene expression in lung tissues between men and women. Our study is one of the first studies to provide novel insights about the genetic and molecular basis for sex disparity in lung cancer development.

Abstract
To identify new susceptibility loci to lung cancer among diverse populations, we performed cross-ancestry genome-wide association studies in European, East Asian and African populations and discovered five loci that have not been previously reported. We replicated 26 signals and identified 10 new lead associations from previously reported loci. Rare-variant associations tended to be specific to populations, but even common-variant associations influencing smoking behavior, such as those with CHRNA5 and CYP2A6, showed population specificity. Fine-mapping and expression quantitative trait locus colocalization nominated several candidate variants and susceptibility genes such as IRF4 and FUBP1. DNA damage assays of prioritized genes in lung fibroblasts indicated that a subset of these genes, including the pleiotropic gene IRF4, potentially exert effects by promoting endogenous DNA damage.

Abstract
Background: The impact of smoking on the efficacy of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment is controversial and has not been systematically explored in the first-line setting. We performed a systematic review based on a pairwise meta-analysis and a Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA) to address this issue. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Clinical-Trials.gov, and other resources were searched until 5 January 2022. Progression-free survival (PFS) was considered the main outcome of interest. Randomized controlled trials with smoking status analysis were included. Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool was performed to assess the risk of bias. Random effects models were adopted conservatively in meta-analysis. The NMA was performed in a Bayesian framework using the “gemtc” version 1.0–1 package of R-4.1.2 software. Results: A total of 2,484 patients from nine studies were eligible for this study, with 1,547 never-smokers (62.3%) and 937 smokers (37.7%). In a pairwise meta-analysis, in the overall population, no significant difference was found between never-smokers and smokers. However, in the subgroup analyses based on crizotinib-controlled studies, anaplastic lymphoma kinase tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs) derived better PFS in the smoking group over the never-smoking group in the Asian population (HR = 0.17, 95%CI = 0.09–0.31 in the smoking group, HR = 0.39, 95%CI = 0.24–0.65 in the never-smoking group, p = 0.04, low quality of evidence). In NMA, among never-smokers, lorlatinib ranked the highest for PFS (SUCRA = 96.2%), but no significant superiority was found among the new-generation ALK-TKIs except for ceritinib. In smokers, low-dose alectinib performed best (SUCRA = 95.5%) and also demonstrated a significant superiority over ensartinib (HR = 0.23, 95%CI = 0.08–0.68, very low quality of evidence), brigatinib (HR = 0.38, 95%CI = 0.14–0.99, low quality of evidence), ceritinib (HR = 0.24, 95%CI = 0.09–0.66, low quality of evidence), crizotinib (HR = 0.18, 95%CI = 0.08–0.41, moderate quality of evidence), and chemotherapy (HR = 0.11, 95%CI = 0.05–0.28, low quality of evidence). Conclusion: In general, smoking may not affect the treatment efficacy of advanced ALK-positive NSCLC in the first-line setting. However, alectinib may perform better in the smoking Asian population. Moreover, lorlatinib in never-smokers and low-dose alectinib in smokers could be considered optimal first-line therapy for advanced ALK-positive NSCLC. Acceptable limitations of evidence, such as study risk of bias, inconsistency, and imprecision, were present in this NMA.

Abstract
Background Genetic variation increases the risk of lung cancer, but the extent to which smoking amplifies this effect remains unknown. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the risk of lung cancer in people with different genetic risks and smoking habits. Methods This prospective cohort study included 345,794 European ancestry participants from the UK Biobank and followed up for 7.2 [6.5–7.8] years. Results Overall, 26.2% of the participants were former smokers, and 9.8% were current smokers. During follow-up, 1687 (0.49%) participants developed lung cancer. High genetic risk and smoking were independently associated with an increased risk of incident lung cancer. Compared with never-smokers, HR per standard deviation of the PRS increase was 1.16 (95% CI, 1.11–1.22), and HR of heavy smokers (≥40 pack-years) was 17.89 (95% CI, 15.31–20.91). There were no significant interactions between the PRS and the smoking status or pack-years. Population-attributable fraction analysis showed that smoking cessation might prevent 76.4% of new lung cancers. Conclusions Both high genetic risk and smoking were independently associated with higher lung cancer risk, but the increased risk of smoking was much more significant than heredity. The combination of traditional risk factors and additional PRS provides realistic application prospects for precise prevention.

Abstract
Cell division cycle 20 (CDC20) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are differentially expressed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The current study aimed to investigate the role of miR-1321 and miR-7515 regulation in CDC20 during NSCLC development. CDC20 expression in paracancerous and tumor tissues was assessed using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The relationship between CDC20 expression and prognosis of patients was analyzed using the TCGA database. The expression profile of CDC20 in healthy lung cells and NSCLC cells was detected using qRT-PCR and western blotting. After the knockdown of CDC20 in NSCLC cells, the cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and cell cycle changes were investigated by CCK8, EdU, flow cytometry, wound healing, and Transwell assays. The miRNAs targeting CDC20 were predicted using two bioinformatics websites and validated using dual-luciferase assays. CDC20 was enhanced in NSCLC tissues and cells, thus predicting the poor prognosis in NSCLC patients. After CDC20 inhibition, the malignant phenotype of NSCLC cells was reverted. miR-1321 and miR-7515 targeted CDC20 and exhibited the same anti-tumor effects as CDC20 silencing. Functional rescue experiments showed that CDC20 overexpression averted the anti-tumor effects of miR-1321 and miR-7515 on NSCLC cells. miR-1321 and miR-7515 inhibited NSCLC development by targeting CDC20. Thus, the current study has implications in NSCLC treatment and provides novel insights into NSCLC management.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although dysbiosis of the lung and gut microbiota have been associated with NSCLC, their relative contributions are unclear; in addition, their roles in distant metastasis (DM) are still illusive. We recruited in total 121 participants, including 87 newly diagnosed treatment-naive NSCLC patients of various stages and 34 healthy volunteers, and surveyed their fecal and sputum microbiota. We compared the microbial profiles between groups, identified microbial biomarkers, and generated machine learning models for distinguishing healthy individuals from patients with NSCLC and patients of various stages. We found significant perturbations of gut and sputum microbiota in patients with NSCLC and DM. A machine learning model combining both microbiota (combined model) performed better than an individual data set in patient stratification, with the highest area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.896. Sputum and gut microbiota both contributed to the combined model; in most cases, sputum-only models performed similar to the combined models. Several microbial biomarkers were shared by both microbiotas, indicating their similar roles at distinct body sites. Microbial biomarkers of distinct disease stages were mostly shared, suggesting biomarkers for DM could be acquired early. Furthermore, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a species previously associated with wound infections, was significantly more abundant in brain metastasis, indicating that distinct types of DMs could have different microbes. Our results indicate that alterations of the sputum microbiota have stronger relationships with NSCLC and DM than the gut and strongly support the feasibility of metagenome-based noninvasive disease diagnosis and risk evaluation. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under registration no. NCT03454685). IMPORTANCE Our survey on gut and sputum microbiota revealed that both were significantly disturbed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and associated with distant metastasis (DM) while only the sputum microbiota was associated with non-DM NSCLC. The lung microbiota could therefore have a stronger association with (and thus may contribute more to) disease development than the gut microbiota. Mathematic models using both microbiotas performed better in patient stratification than using individual microbiota. Sputum models, however, performed similar to the combined models, suggesting a convenient, noninvasive diagnostic for NSCLC. Microbial biomarkers of distinct disease stages were mostly shared, suggesting that the same set of microbes were underlying disease progression, and the signals for distant metastasis could be acquired at early stages of the disease. Our results strongly support the feasibility of noninvasive diagnosis of NSCLC, including distant metastasis, are of clinical importance, and should warrant further research on the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
Gene-smoking interactions play important roles in the development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that modify the association of smoking behavior with NSCLC risk, we conducted a genome-wide gene-smoking interaction study in Chinese populations. The genome-wide interaction analysis between SNPs and smoking status (ever- versus never-smokers) was carried out using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of NSCLC, which included 13,327 cases and 13,328 controls. Stratified analysis by histological subtypes was also conducted. We used a genome-wide significance threshold of 5×10 -8 for identifying significant gene-smoking interactions and 1×10 -6 for identifying suggestive results. Functional annotation was performed to identify potential functional SNPs and target genes. We identified three novel loci with significant or suggestive gene-smoking interaction. For NSCLC, the interaction between rs2746087 (20q11.23) and smoking status reached genome-wide significance threshold (OR = 0.63, 95%CI: 0.54-0.74, P = 3.31×10 -8), and the interaction between rs11912498 (22q12.1) and smoking status reached suggestive significance threshold (OR = 0.72, 95%CI: 0.63-0.82, P = 8.10×10 -7). Stratified analysis by histological subtypes identified suggestive interactions between rs459724 (5q11.2) and smoking status (OR = 0.61, 95%CI: 0.51-0.73, P = 7.55×10 -8) in the risk of lung squamous cell carcinoma. Functional annotation indicated that both classic and novel biological processes, including nicotine addiction and airway clearance, may modulate the susceptibility to NSCLC. These novel loci provide new insights into the biological mechanisms underlying NSCLC risk. Independent replication in large-scale studies is needed and experimental studies are warranted to functionally validate these associations.

Abstract
Caspase 8 is a protein involved in the process of cell apoptosis, which may affect the efficacy of anti-cancer treatment. The aim of our study was to determine the impact of polymorphisms in the CASP-8 gene encoding caspase 8 on the prognosis in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study involved 99 patients with newly diagnosed locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. The presence of the GG genotype was associated with distant metastases, smoking, and a family history of cancer. The higher risk of early progression was associated with weight loss and the CASP-8 genotype (GG vs. AG or AA: 20.51% vs. 2.86%). The higher risk of progression-free survival (PFS) shortening was associated with a higher stage of disease (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.50, 95% CI: 1.61–3.89, p < 0.0001), distant metastases (HR = 2.30, 95% CI: 1.42–3.72, p = 0.0016), and the GG genotype (HR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.10–2.57, p = 0.0152). The influence of the GG genotype on the PFS was confirmed in a multivariate analysis (HR = 1.80, 95% CI: 1.06–3.05, p = 0.0317). We did not confirm the influence of CASP-8 genotypes on the overall survival (OS).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study of gene-environment (GxE) interactions is a research priority for the NCI. Previously, our group analyzed NCI's extramural grant portfolio from fiscal years (FY) 2007 to 2009 to determine the state of the science in GxE research. This study builds upon our previous effort and examines changes in the landscape of GxE cancer research funded by NCI. METHODS The NCI grant portfolio was examined from FY 2010 to 2018 using the iSearch application. A time-trend analysis was conducted to explore changes over the study interval. RESULTS A total of 107 grants met the search criteria and were abstracted. The most common cancer types studied were breast (19.6%) and colorectal (18.7%). Most grants focused on GxE using specific candidate genes (69.2%) compared with agnostic approaches using genome-wide (26.2%) or whole-exome/whole-genome next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches (19.6%); some grants used more than one approach to assess genetic variation. More funded grants incorporated NGS technologies in FY 2016-2018 compared with prior FYs. Environmental exposures most commonly examined were energy balance (46.7%) and drugs/treatment (40.2%). Over the time interval, we observed a decrease in energy balance applications with a concurrent increase in drug/treatment applications. CONCLUSIONS Research in GxE interactions has continued to concentrate on common cancers, while there have been some shifts in focus of genetic and environmental exposures. Opportunities exist to study less common cancers, apply new technologies, and increase racial/ethnic diversity. IMPACT This analysis of NCI's extramural grant portfolio updates previous efforts and provides a review of NCI grant support for GxE research.

Abstract
Abstract
This commentary celebrates the 40th year of Carcinogenesis, spanning 1980–2020 with a focus on lung cancer. For lung cancer, these 40 years come toward the end of a century of scientific inquiry that began with descriptions of this highly fatal malignancy and that closes with emphasis on molecular processes and genomics. This commentary gives a historical perspective of lung cancer research as well as a look into the questions that remain to be addressed. Over the 20th century and into the first two decades of the 21st, a series of issues have more or less sequentially been the focus of epidemiological investigation of lung cancer, as questions have been answered and methodologies have evolved. These questions began with whether an epidemic was occurring and continue now with exploration of causal mechanisms and molecular risk predictors. With tobacco smoking firmly established decades ago as a cause of lung cancer, the evidence has long been sufficient to motivate tobacco prevention and control. There is unfinished business as tobacco smoking remains widespread and the industry continues to market new, addicting, products.

Abstract
Background To investigate the association between phosphatase and tension homologue deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) gene polymorphisms and non–small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and further identify whether these polymorphisms influence serum PTEN levels. Methods A total of 152 NSCLC patients and 124 healthy controls were included in the study. PTEN gene rs11202586 (T > C) and rs1903858 (A > G) polymorphisms were detected using the multiple single‐base extension technique (SNaPshot). The serum PTEN levels were determined using an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. Results The rs1903858 AG, GG genotypes, and G allele were associated with a higher risk of NSCLC (odds ratio (OR) =2.079, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.087‐3.974, P = .027; OR = 1.897, 95%CI = 1.053‐3.419, P = .033; OR = 1.505, 95%CI = 1.065‐2.126, P = .020). Stratified analysis reveal that the rs1903858 GG genotype and G allele were associated with an increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (OR = 3.226, 95%CI = 1.075‐9.678, P = .037; OR = 1.873, 95%CI = 1.092‐3.212, P = .023). Among smokers, the rs1903858 G allele carriers have an increased risk of NSCLC (OR = 1.916, 95%CI = 1.023‐3.589, P = .042), but a decreased risk of NSCLC was found with the AT haplotype. With respect to the serum PTEN levels, no significant difference was noted between NSCLC patients and healthy controls in this study. Conclusions The study indicated that the rs1903858 gene polymorphism is associated with increased risk of NSCLC, particularly in SCC and smoker, and the haplotype AT was a protective factor for NSCLC. The serum PTEN levels were not associated with NSCLC.

Abstract
Background Globally, tuberculosis (TB) lasts a major public health concern. Using feasible strategies to estimate TB infectious periods is crucial. The aim of this study was to determine the magnitude of TB infectious period and associated factors in East Gojjam zone. Methods An institution-based prospective study was conducted among 348 pulmonary TB (PTB) cases between December 2017 and December 2018. TB cases were recruited from all health facilities located in Hulet Eju Enesie, Enebse Sarmider, Debay Tilatgen, Dejen, Debre-Markos town administration, and Machakel districts. Data were collected through an exit interview using a structured questionnaire and analyzed by IBM SPSS version25. The TB infectious period of each patient category was determined using the TB management time and sputum smear conversion time. The sum of the infectious period of each patient category gave the infectious pool of the study area. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with the magnitude of TB infectious period. Results Of the total participated PTB cases, 209(60%) were male, 226(65%) aged < 30 years, 205(59%) were from the rural settings, and 77 (22%) had comorbidities. The magnitude of the TB infectious pool in the study area was 78,031 infectious person-days. The undiagnosed TB cases (44,895 days), smear-positive (14,625 days) and smear-negative (12,995 days) were major contributors to the infectious pool. The overall average median TB management time was 142.4 days (IQR, 98–238 days). Similarly, the average sputum smear conversion time of PTB cases (new and repeat) was 46 days. Residence, knowledge, form of TB, smoking, alcohol history, distance from the facility, comorbidity history and stigma were statistically significant factors TB infectious period (p-value< 0.05). Conclusions The magnitude of the TB infectious pool is high even if it is lower than the findings of previous studies. This might be an indicator of poor access to TB services, service delays, low community awareness, impaired facility readiness, and poor transportation. Improving personal awareness and behavior, timely management of commodities, and using the TB management time in TB control are crucial to improving TB control activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulating evidence indicates inherited risk in the aetiology of lung cancer, although smoking exposure is the major attributing factor. Family history is a simple substitute for inherited susceptibility. Previous studies have shown some possible yet conflicting links between family history of cancer and EGFR mutation in lung cancer. As EGFR-mutated lung cancer favours female, never-smoker, adenocarcinoma and Asians, it may be argued that there may be some underlying genetic modifiers responsible for the pathogenesis of EGFR mutation. METHODS We searched four databases for all original articles on family history of malignancy and EGFR mutation status in lung cancer published up to July 2018. We performed a meta-analysis by using a random-effects model and odds ratio estimates. Heterogeneity and sensitivity were also investigated. Then we conducted a second literature research to curate case reports of familial lung cancers who studied both germline cancer predisposing genes and their somatic EGFR mutation status; and explored the possible links between cancer predisposing genes and EGFR mutation. RESULTS Eleven studies have been included in the meta-analysis. There is a significantly higher likelihood of EGFR mutation in lung cancer patients with family history of cancer than their counterparts without family history, preferentially in Asians (OR = 1.35[1.06-1.71], P = 0.01), those diagnosed with adenocarcinomas ((OR = 1.47[1.14-1.89], P = 0.003) and those with lung cancer-affected relatives (first and second-degree: OR = 1.53[1.18-1.99], P = 0.001; first-degree: OR = 1.76[1.36-2.28, P < 0.0001]). Familial lung cancers more likely have concurrent EGFR mutations along with mutations in their germline cancer predisposition genes including EGFR T790 M, BRCA2 and TP53. Certain mechanisms may contribute to the combination preferences between inherited mutations and somatic ones. CONCLUSIONS Potential genetic modifiers may contribute to somatic EGFR mutation in lung cancer, although current data is limited. Further studies on this topic are needed, which may help to unveil lung carcinogenesis pathways. However, caution is warranted in data interpretation due to limited cases available for the current study.

Abstract
The development of cancer is driven by the accumulation of many oncogenesis-related genetic alterations and tumorigenesis is triggered by complex networks of involved genes rather than independent actions. To explore the epistasis existing among oncogenesis-related genes in lung cancer development, we conducted pairwise genetic interaction analyses among 35,031 SNPs from 2027 oncogenesis-related genes. The genotypes from three independent genome-wide association studies including a total of 24,037 lung cancer patients and 20,401 healthy controls with Caucasian ancestry were analyzed in the study. Using a two-stage study design including discovery and replication studies, and stringent Bonferroni correction for multiple statistical analysis, we identified significant genetic interactions between SNPs in RGL1:RAD51B (OR=0.44, p value=3.27x10-11 in overall lung cancer and OR=0.41, p value=9.71x10-11 in non-small cell lung cancer), SYNE1:RNF43 (OR=0.73, p value=1.01x10-12 in adenocarcinoma) and FHIT:TSPAN8 (OR=1.82, p value=7.62x10-11 in squamous cell carcinoma) in our analysis. None of these genes have been identified from previous main effect association studies in lung cancer. Further eQTL gene expression analysis in lung tissues provided information supporting the functional role of the identified epistasis in lung tumorigenesis. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed potential pathways and gene networks underlying molecular mechanisms in overall lung cancer as well as histology subtypes development. Our results provide evidence that genetic interactions between oncogenesis-related genes play an important role in lung tumorigenesis and epistasis analysis, combined with functional annotation, provides a valuable tool for uncovering functional novel susceptibility genes that contribute to lung cancer development by interacting with other modifier genes.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The present study focused on the function of family with sequence similarity 196 member B (FAM196B) in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). We analyzed lung carcinoma patients' data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and verify the change of FAM196B expression in 30 LUAD tissues and matched adjacent non-tumor tissues (> 5 cm) by tissue microarray. To investigate the role of FAM196B in LUAD, we used lentivirus-mediated short hairpin RNA (shRNA) to knockdown FAM196B expression in human LUAD cell line A549 and H1299 and assessed it by RT-qPCR and western blot. Celigo Imaging Cytometry System, MTT assays and colony formation were conducted to evaluate cell proliferation. Cell apoptosis were assayed by Annexin V staining. We found that FAM196B was significantly upregulated (P=5.06E-06) in LUAD compared with adjacent non-tumor tissues. Cell proliferation was inhibited in FAM196B-silenced A549 and H1299 cells using Celigo Imaging Cytometry System, MTT assays and colony formation assays. Apoptosis rate was significantly increased in FAM196B-shRNA group than the control group. In conclusion, Knockdown of FAM196B can inhibit cell proliferation, cell colony formation capacity, and promote cell apoptosis in A549 and H1299 cell lines. FAM196B may be one novel potential targets for treating patients with LUAD.
