Article Abstract

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common malignant tumor characterized by rapid growth and invasive power. Glucose regulatory protein 78 (GRP78) is important in cancer cell progression. Here, this study aimed to explore the effect and mechanism of GRP78 on cisplatin (DDP) resistance of NSCLC cells. qRT-PCR and Western blot detected the expression of genes and proteins. Flow cytometry was used to analyze endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) induced by DDP in NSCLC. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were examined using cell counting kit-8 (CCK8), cell cloning, and flow cytometry, respectively. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay (CHIP) and dual-luciferase reporter assays were performed to determine the binding of ETS1 and GRP78 promoter. Mouse xenograft models were constructed for in vivo analysis. ERS was induced by DDP in NSCLC cells. GRP78 were upregulated in DDP-resistant NSCLC tissues, and knockdown of GRP78 suppressed DDP resistance, clone formation, promoted apoptosis, and inhibited ERS in DDP-resistant NSCLC cells. ETS1 knockdown repressed GRP78 expression and NSCLC tumor growth. Interestingly, ETS1 played a role in DDP-resistant NSCLC via GRP78. ETS1 inhibits cisplatin sensitivity of NSCLC cells by promoting GRP78 transcription.

Background: Radiotherapy (RT) is an essential part of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) treatment. It can however deplete circulating lymphocytes, impairing systemic immune surveillance and potentially reducing the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The Effective Dose to Immune Cells (EDIC) quantifies RT-induced immune suppression and has been linked to survival in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but its prognostic significance in SCLC remains unclear.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, remaining a significant challenge in terms of early detection, effective treatment, and improving patient survival rates. In this study, we investigated the anticancer mechanism of rubiarbonol B (Ru-B) and its derivative 3-O-acetylrubiarbonol B (ARu-B), a pentacyclic terpenoid in gefitinib (GEF)-sensitive and -resistant NSCLC HCC827 cells. Concentration- and time-dependent cytotoxicity was observed for both Ru-B and ARu-B.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) continues to be the number one cause of cancer-related death for both women and men worldwide. More information needs to be gathered to understand the interactions between cancer cells, the immune system, the microenvironment within each tumor, and the host tissue to develop more effective treatment modalities. Reported here is a simple, repeatable method for inducing cancer within the mouse lung, allowing for the monitoring of tumor growth from early to late-stage disease.

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.
