A case of resectable lung adenocarcinoma associated with sarcoidosis

A 71-year-old woman with uveitis was referred to our hospital for further examination of the possible underlying diseases. In roentgenological examination with plain X-ray and CT scan, hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy and a mass shadow in the right upper lung field was observed, whereas fibrotic changes were not obvious in both lung fields. Transbronchial lung biopsy with fiberoptic bronchoscope revealed granulomatous interstitial pneumonia. CD4-positive lymphocytes were increased in bronchoalveolar lavage. The patient was diagnosed as having sarcoidosis. Subsequently, right upper lobectomy was performed, and Stage I lung adenocarcinoma was diagnosed. The patient is under follow up without medication and the disease has been stable for two years. A relationship between epithelioid granulomatosis and malignant diseases is discussed and a review of the literature is given. Since it is still controversial as to the incidence of malignant diseases in sarcoidosis patients, it is important to accumulate data on these associations.     

DNA methylation-based diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of nonsmoking lung adenocarcinoma patients

Currently, there are few studies on patients with nonsmoking lung adenocarcinoma, and the pathogenesis is still unclear. The role of DNA methylation in the pathogenesis of cancer is gradually being recognized. The purpose of this study was to determine the abnormal methylation genes and pathways involved in nonsmoking lung adenocarcinoma patients. Gene expression microarray data (GSE10072, GSE43458) and gene methylation microarray data (GSE62948) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and differentially expressed genes were obtained through GEO2R. Next, we analyzed the function and enrichment of the selected genes using Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes database and visualized in Cytoscape. Finally, we performed module analysis of the PPI network using Molecular Complex Detection. And we obtained 10 hub genes by Cytoscape Centiscape. We analyzed the independent prognostic value of each hub gene in nonsmoking nonsmall cell lung cancer patients through Kaplan-Meier plotter. Seven hub genes (CXCL12, CDH1, CASP3, CREB1, COL1A1, ERBB2, and ENO2) were closely related to the overall survival time. This study provides an effective bioinformatics basis for further understanding the pathogenesis and prognosis of nonsmoking lung adenocarcinoma patients. Hub genes with prognostic value could be selected as effective biomarkers for timely diagnosis and prognostic of nonsmoking lung adenocarcinoma patients.     

Differences in protein-protein association networks for lung adenocarcinoma: A retrospective study

Various methods to determine the connectivity scores between groups of proteins associated with lung adenocarcinoma are examined. Proteins act together to perform a wide range of functions within biological processes. Hence, identification of key proteins and their interactions within protein networks can provide invaluable information on disease mechanisms. Differential network analysis provides a means of identifying differences in the interactions among proteins between two networks. We use connectivity scores based on the method of partial least squares to quantify the strength of the interactions between each pair of proteins. These scores are then used to perform permutation-based statistical tests. This examines if there are significant differences between the network connectivity scores for individual proteins or classes of proteins. The expression data from a study on lung adenocarcinoma is used in this study. Connectivity scores are computed for a group of 109 subjects who were in the complete remission and as well as for a group of 51 subjects whose cancer had progressed. The distributions of the connectivity scores are similar for the two networks yet subtle but statistically significant differences have been identified and their impact discussed.     

Choline Transporters in Human Lung Adenocarcinoma： Expression and Functional Implications

Choline is an essential nutrient for cell survival and proliferation, however, the expression and function of choline transporters have not been well identified in cancer. In this study, we detected the mRNA and protein expression of organic cation transporter OCT3, carnitine/cation transporters OCTN 1 and OCTN2, and choline transporter-like protein CTL1 in human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines A549, H 1299 and SPC-A-1. Their expression pattern was further confirmed in 25 human primary adenocarcinoma tissues. The choline uptake in these cell lines was significantly blocked by CTL1 inhibitor, but only partially inhibited by OCT or OCTN inhibitors. The efficacy of these inhibitors on cell proliferation is closely correlated with their abilities to block choline transport. Under the native expression of these transporters, the total choline uptake was notably blocked by specific PI3K/AKT inhibitors. These results describe the expression of choline transporters and their relevant function in cell proliferation of human lung adenocarcinoma, thus providing a potential ＂choline-starvation＂ strategy of cancer interference through targeting choline transporters, especially CTL1.     

肺腺癌预后相关miRNA生物信息学筛选及其临床意义

ADFP promotes cell proliferation in lung adenocarcinoma via Akt phosphorylation

Previously, we identified differentially expressed proteins, including ADFP, between lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) tissue and paired normal bronchioloalveolar epithelium. In this study, we investigated the role of ADFP in LAC. ADFP levels in the serum of patients with lung cancer and benign diseases were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). shRNA was used to knock-down or overexpress ADFP in A549 and NCI-H1299 cells. The biological function of ADFP and its underlying mechanisms was evaluated in vivo and in vitro. ADFP was highly expressed in the serum of lung cancer patients, especially those with LAC. ADFP promoted cell proliferation and up-regulated the p-Akt/Akt ratio in A549 and NCI-H1299 cells in vitro. Furthermore, in nude mice, ADFP promoted tumour formation with high levels of p-Akt/Akt, Ki67 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Similar to the effect of ADFP knock-down, MK-2206 (a phosphorylation inhibitor of Akt) reduced A549 and NCI-H1299 cell proliferation. In ADFP-overexpressing A549 and NCI-H1299 cells, proliferation was suppressed by MK-2206 and returned to the control level. ADFP did not regulate invasion, migration or adhesion in LAC cells. Together, these results suggest that ADFP promotes LAC cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo by increasing Akt phosphorylation level.     

癌相关通路在肺腺癌中的共扰动机制

肺腺癌的发生涉及多个生物学功能通路的扰动,其遗传改变频繁地发生于MAPK信号、p53信号、Wnt信号、细胞周期和mTOR等通路的基因中。解析癌相关通路间的共扰动机制对我们理解癌机制以及寻找诊断标记具有重要意义。因此,本文基于肺腺癌突变谱数据,研究上述癌相关通路在肺腺癌中的共扰动机制。结果发现:在肺腺癌发生的过程中,MAPK信号、p53信号、Wnt信号、细胞周期和mTOR等通路同时被扰动。在不同的癌样本中,一对通路可能通过以下三种方式被共同扰动:(1)在两条通路中的不同基因间的共突变;(2)两条通路相互交叠基因的突变;(3)与两条通路同时具有频繁的互作关系的蛋白质的编码基因的突变。该结果提示,癌相关通路对在不同的样本中可能通过不同的方式被共扰动,这也可能是造成癌症异质性的重要原因之一。     

Identification SYT13 as a novel biomarker in lung adenocarcinoma

Synaptotagmins are a class of proteins that play an important role in the secretion of neurotransmitters by synaptic vesicles. However, recent studies have shown that members of this family also have a certain function in the development of tumors. In this study, we first identified through The Cancer Genome Atlas data analyzed that a novel synaptotagmin, SYT13, was closely related to the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma, but was not significantly correlated with the prognosis of lung squamous cell carcinoma. Then we knocked down the expression of SYT13 gene in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines A549 and H1299, and successfully induced decreased proliferation and clonality of lung adenocarcinoma cell lines, and observed cell cycle arrest and apoptosis enhancement in both cell lines. In addition, we detected the migration ability of SYT13 knockdown lung adenocarcinoma cell lines by the cell scratch test and the transwell test. Interestingly, there was a decreased migration ability of SYT13 knockdown in H1299 cells even though there was no significant difference in the migration of A549 cells. These results demonstrate that SYT13 plays an important role in the development of lung adenocarcinoma, which deepens our understanding of the mechanism of lung adenocarcinoma development and provides new possibilities for targeted therapy of lung adenocarcinoma.
