Article Abstract
Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for more than 80 % of lung cancer (LC) cases, making it the primary cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. T-box transcription factor 5 (TBX5) is an important regulator of embryonic and organ development and plays a key role in cancer development. Here, our objective was to investigate the involvement of TBX5 in ferroptosis within LC cells and the underlying mechanisms.
Methods: First, TBX5 expression was examined in human LC cells. Next, overexpression of TBX5 and Yes1-associated transcriptional regulator (YAP1) and knockdown of TEA domain 1 (TEAD1) were performed in A549 and NCI-H1703 cells. The proliferation ability of A549 and NCI-H1703 cells, GSH, MDA, ROS, and Fe levels were measured. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) was performed to verify whether TBX5 protein could bind YAP1. Then TBX5, YAP1, TEAD1, GPX4, p53, FTH1, SLC7A11 and PTGS2 protein levels were assessed. Finally, we verified the effect of TBX5 on ferroptosis in LC cells in vivo.
Results: TBX5 expression was down-regulated in LC cells, especially in A549 and NCI-H1703 cells. Overexpression of TBX5 significantly decreased proliferation ability of A549 and NCI-H1703 cells, downregulated GPX4 and GSH levels, and upregulated MDA, ROS, and Fe levels. Co-IP verified that TBX5 protein could bind YAP1. Moreover, oe-YAP1 promoted proliferation ability of A549 and NCI-H1703 cells transfected with Lv-TBX5, upregulated GPX4 and GSH levels and downregulated MDA, ROS, and Fe levels. Additionally, oe-YAP1 promoted FTH1 and SLC7A11 levels and inhibited p53 and PTGS2 levels in A549 and NCI-H1703 cells transfected with Lv-TBX5. However, transfection with si-TEAD1 further reversed these effects. In vivo experiments further validated that TBX5 promoted ferroptosis in LC cells.
Conclusions: TBX5 inhibited the activation of YAP1-TEAD1 pathway to promote ferroptosis in LC cells.

Despite significant advancements in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using conventional therapeutic methods, drug resistance remains a major factor contributing to disease recurrence. In this study, we aimed to explore the potential benefits of combining PI3K inhibition with Cisplatin in the context of NSCLC-derived A549 cells. Human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells were cultured and treated with BKM120, cisplatin, or their combination.

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a common diver gene for lung cancer (NSCLC), which leads to an increasing death rate worldwide. This study reports the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of triazole-clubbed pyrimidine derivatives (RDa-RDm) as potential anticancer agents. Thirteen compounds were synthesized and screened against the A549 lung cancer cell line.

The utility of bio-reductive prodrugs in cancer research has emerged as an attractive strategy. We synthesized and characterized a couple of cobalt(iii)-Schiff base complexes of general molecular formula Co(L)(L) and Co(L)(dox) , where L and L are ,-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(1-(pyridine-2-yl)methanimine) and 1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione, and dox = doxorubicin, as bio-reductive prodrugs. UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopic assays confirmed the reductive release of doxorubicin from the complex in a GSH-dependent manner under physiological conditions, showing its potential for drug release.

Challenges in cancer treatment lie in the identification and development of novel agents with potent anti-tumor activity. A series of novel dehydroabietylamine-pyrimidine derivatives 3a-3s were designed and synthesized based on the principles of molecular hybridization. The inhibitory activities of the target compounds against the proliferation of four different human cancer cell lines (HepG2, A549, HCT116 and MCF-7) were evaluated.
