Previous evidences have shown that lncRNA AK001058 serves as an oncogene. This study aims to elucidate the expression characteristic of AK001058 in NSCLC samples, and its potential influence on the malignant progression and cisplatin resistance of NSCLC. Relative levels of AK001058 and IGF2 in NSCLC and non-tumoral tissues were detected by qRT-PCR. Proliferation inhibition rate and migratory rate in DDP-induced SPC-A1 and A549 cells were examined by CCK-8 and Transwell assay, respectively. Subsequently, DDP-resistant SPC-A1 and A549 cell lines were generated, and the role of AK001058 in affecting their cell phenotypes was determined. Using dual-luciferase reporter assay, the binding relationship between AK001058 and IGF2 was verified. Their co-regulation on DDP-resistant NSCLC cells was finally explored via rescue experiments. AK001058 was upregulated in NSCLC samples. The proliferative rate was dose-dependently and time-dependently declined in DDP-induced SPC-A1 and A549 cells. Cisplatin induction upregulated AK001058 in NSCLC cells, and attenuated migratory potential. Transfection of sh-AK001058 reduced proliferative and migratory rates in SPC-A1/DDP and A549/DDP cells. IGF2 was the downstream target binding AK001058, which was lowly expressed in NSCLC samples. AK001058 upregulation in NSCLC reduces cisplatin sensitivity and promotes malignant progression by negatively regulating IGF2, leading to cisplatin resistance.

Usnic acid, a compound from Usneae Filum, has shown notable antitumor effects. Nevertheless, the mechanism of its anti-NSCLC action remains incompletely elucidated. This study used metabolomics, network pharmacology, molecular docking, and dynamics simulation to investigate usnic acid's potential mechanism on NSCLC utilizing A549 cell samples.

Accurate tumor mutation burden (TMB) quantification is critical for immunotherapy stratification, yet remains challenging due to variability across sequencing platforms, tumor heterogeneity, and variant calling pipelines. Here, we introduce TMBquant, an explainable AI-powered caller designed to optimize TMB estimation through dynamic feature selection, ensemble learning, and automated strategy adaptation. Built upon the H2O AutoML framework, TMBquant integrates variant features, minimizes classification errors, and enhances both accuracy and stability across diverse datasets.

Background: Comprehensive genomic profiling is crucial for guiding treatment in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, tumor tissue-based targeted panel next-generation sequencing (TP-NGS) faces challenges, such as inadequate tissue sampling. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from peripheral blood has emerged as an alternative.

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is an established procedure for diagnosing thoracic diseases and staging of lung cancers. However, some limitations of cytology specimens from EBUS-TBNA include small sample size, low tumour cellularity, necrosis and specimen contamination. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy (EBUS-TBMC) is a promising alternative that provides a larger histology specimen which may improve diagnostic accuracy and molecular testing.

Objectives: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with poor prognosis, with 30% of patients diagnosed at an advanced stage. Mutations in the and genes are important prognostic factors for NSCLC, and targeted therapies can significantly improve survival in these patients. Although tissue biopsy remains the gold standard for detecting gene mutations, it has limitations, including invasiveness, sampling errors due to tumor heterogeneity, and poor reproducibility.
