Although involuntary smoking was defined as a group 1 carcinogen for lung cancer, few studies have explored the impact of environmental tobacco smoking (ETS) on esophageal cancer. In this paper, we examined the association between ETS and esophageal cancer in high-risk groups in Jiangsu Province, China. Epidemiologic data were collected for 2969 newly diagnosed cases and 8019 population controls including exposure to active/passive smoking and risk factors. The unconditional logistic regression model and the semi-Bayes (SB) method were applied to assess adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CIs). ETS exposure (ever vs. never) was positively associated with esophageal cancer with an SB-adjusted OR (95% CI) of 1.44 (1.31-1.58) among overall population, and 1.56 (1.35-1.82) among non-smokers (i.e., non-active smokers), with corresponding population attributable fractions of 15.0% (95% CI: 10.3%-18.9%) and 12.1% (95% CI: 8.8%-19.8%), respectively. The association was more prominent in men at work and in women at home, with SB-adjusted OR (95% CI) of 1.36 (1.17-1.58) and 1.61 (1.35-1.58), respectively. A dose-response relationship between ETS exposure and the disease was detected across the entire population as well as in non-smokers. This is the largest population-based case-control study of ETS and esophageal cancer and the first study to evaluate such association among non-smokers in a Chinese population.

This study explored Wee1 expression in ACC and its regulation by FLNA, the effects of Wee1 inhibitor AZD1775, and the impact of FLNA on its efficacy in ACC cell lines and primary cells. Analysis of FLNA and Wee1 proteins revealed elevated Wee1 and reduced FLNA in ACC compared to normal adrenal gland. FLNA knockdown increased Wee1 protein in NCI-H295R, MUC-1, and in primary ACC cells. Higher p-CDK1 and cyclin B1 were shown in FLNA-silenced MUC-1, while decreased Wee1, p-CDK1 and cyclin B1 resulted after FLNA overexpression. Wee1 reduction was reverted by lactacystin treatment and FLNA transfection increased p-Wee1 (Ser123), suggesting FLNA's role in targeting Wee1 for degradation. AZD1775 dose-dependently reduced proliferation and viability in ACC cell lines and primary cultures, and it triggered MUC-1 cell death. Similar effects were induced by Wee1 silencing. FLNA depletion augmented AZD1775's efficacy in reducing proliferation and potentiating apoptosis in MUC-1 and primary cells.
