PAMP orchestrates proline metabolic rewiring to suppress LUAD via PYCR1 inhibition. (PubMed, EMBO Mol Med)
Notably, synthetic PAMP administration recapitulates these anti-tumor effects, effectively reducing intracellular proline levels and impairing tumor progression in cellular and animal models. Together, our findings uncover a previously uncharacterized lncRNA-encoded micropeptide that orchestrates proline metabolic reprogramming to restrain LUAD development, offering new opportunities for metabolic intervention in precision oncology.

Multiomics integration prioritizes potential drug targets for lung cancer. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
This multi-omics MR framework identifies genes whose genetically predicted expression is associated with increased or decreased lung cancer risk and may help prioritize candidate targets for future lung cancer drug development.

LEPR Contributes to Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Insights From Mendelian Randomization and Experimental Studies. (PubMed, Cancer Inform)
In vitro, LEPR knockdown significantly inhibited proliferation and invasion while promoting apoptosis in LUSC cells. These findings suggest that LEPR may play a critical role in the development and progression of LUSC, providing a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

Refractory Pembrolizumab-Induced Myocarditis-Myositis-Myasthenia Gravis Overlap Syndrome With Concurrent Hepatitis and Thyroiditis in Endometrial Carcinoma: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
A 77-year-old woman with stage IV serous endometrial carcinoma presented 24 days after a single dose of carboplatin, paclitaxel, and pembrolizumab, with progressive weakness, ptosis, diplopia, and respiratory compromise...She was treated with pulse corticosteroids and plasma exchange (PLEX), with rituximab added after the second session for an inadequate response. Persistent myocarditis with sustained troponin elevation prompted further escalation to abatacept and ruxolitinib...The case is distinguished by refractory disease requiring four sequential lines of immunosuppression, concurrent immune-mediated hepatitis and thyroiditis, and a seronegative myasthenia gravis profile, consistent with the more heterogeneous, non-antibody-mediated mechanisms increasingly recognized in ICI-induced disease. It informs treatment escalation in refractory cases and underscores three principles essential to managing this high-mortality syndrome: early recognition, systematic screening for all syndromic components once any one is identified, and timely escalation through multiple lines of immunosuppression when disease proves refractory.

Screening and identification of biomarkers in tumor-educated platelets for non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
Specific DEGs for NSCLC are present in platelets, including HSP90AB1, NPM1, CD44, and CD74, which may play a role in the early stages of NSCLC development. These genes exhibit a specific expression pattern, characterized by downregulation in early-stage (I and II) NSCLC, indicating their potential as biomarkers for early screening and diagnosis of NSCLC.
