Article Abstract
Background: Ferroptosis, a regulated cell death initiated by Fe-dependent lipoperoxidation, is closely linked to the development of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). LncRNA human leukocyte antigen complex P5 (HCP5) has been confirmed as oncogenic in LUAD, but its function in ferroptosis is unknown.
Objective: Based on the previous bioinformatics mining of the ceRNA (competitive endogenous RNA) network HCP5/miR-17-5p/ Homeobox A7 (HOXA7) related to ferroptosis in LUAD, in this study, we characterized the cell-based experiments to validate the binding between the HCP5/miR-17-5p/HOXA7 axis and ferroptosis.
Methods: The HCP5/miR-17-5p/HOXA7 linkage was identified by a two-luciferase reporter. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assay were employed for the detection of viability, invasion, and migration of A549 cells, respectively. ACSL4 and SLC7A11 were associated with ferroptosis, MMP 9, vimentin, and E-cadherin, which were associated with migration and invasion and were assessed by WB and qRT-PCR. Fe2+ and malondialdehyde (MDA) were analyzed using kits.
Results: Over-expression of HCP5 enhances the growth, invasion, and migration of A549 cells by adjusting miR-17-5P to increase the expression of HOXA7. In addition, the knock-down of HCP5 elevated miR-17-5p, which inhibited HOXA7 expression and suppressed ferroptosis and EMT in A549 cells.
Conclusion: HCP5/miR-17-5p/HOXA7 can affect ferroptosis as well as the biological behavior of A549 cells.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. Abnormal expression of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is closely linked to NSCLC progression, highlighting the need for effective FAK inhibitors in NSCLC treatment. In this study we conducted high-throughput virtual screening combined with cellular assays to identify potential FAK inhibitors for NSCLC treatment.

Coal worker pneumoconiosis is an occupational pulmonary fibrosis (PF) caused by prolonged exposure to respirable coal dust (CD), with limited therapeutic options. Here, we explored the antifibrotic effects of metformin (Met) in CD-nanoparticle (CD-NP)-induced PF, focusing on its preventive and therapeutic potential. In vivo, Met was administered at different doses (low: 31.

Objectives: To investigate the antitumor effects of aucubin (AC) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and uncover its plausible mechanism against lung cancer stem-like cells (LCSCs).
Methods: In vitro experiments included MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, a reagent commonly used for cell viability assay) and colony formation assays to assess anti-proliferative effects on A549 and NCI-H1975 lung cancer cell lines, wound healing and Transwell invasion assays to evaluate inhibition of cell migration and invasion, tumorsphere-formation experiments to detect changes in NSCLC cell stemness, as well as Western blot and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses to measure the expression of LCSC markers (CD44, CD133, Oct4, and Nanog). In vivo experiments were conducted to observe the impact of AC on NSCLC metastasis and mouse survival rates.
