Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the early stages of tumor development, specifically focusing on lung adenocarcinomas like adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma.
  • Researchers conducted comprehensive genomic analysis on 76 lung cancer samples, combining sequencing data with transcriptomic and epigenomic information.
  • Findings indicate that very early-stage tumors have minimal somatic mutations, primarily in key driver mutations, leading to copy number changes and global DNA hypomethylation as the disease progresses, particularly in Noguchi type B tumors.

MYO18B is a class XVIII myosin, cloned as a tumor suppressor gene candidate. To investigate the mechanisms of MYO18B-dependent tumor suppression, MYO18B-interacting proteins were searched for by a yeast two-hybrid screen. HOMER2, a Homer/Ves1 family protein, was identified as a binding partner of MYO18B.
