Dysregulation of fatty acid metabolism (FAM) has been identified as a key regulator of LUAD progression. Our purpose was to establish a risk model of FAM-related genes to provide a reference for the prognosis prediction of LUAD.MethodsFirstly, we screened FAM-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) based on the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and identified the prognostic signatures by Cox-regression analysis. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm (LASSO) was used to obtain the formula for risk model. And the analysis of Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset used to verify. Nomogram was produced for individualized prediction in clinical treatment. Immune cell function and drug sensitivity analysis used to screen potential therapeutic drugs.ResultsPatients in low-risk had better overall survival (OS). High-risk patients exhibit higher TMB and lower TIDE scores, and they are more likely to benefit from immunotherapy. The analysis of GEO verified that risk model has a high prediction accuracy.ConclusionThe risk model based on 17 FAM-related DEGs is of great value in predicting the prognosis of LUAD, and these prognostic signatures may be potential therapeutic targets for LUAD.</p>","PeriodicalId":56320,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Biomarkers","volume":"41 3-4","pages":"18758592241296285"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143652297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low HPGD expression was linked to resistance to certain chemotherapies, potentially due to immunosuppression triggered by low HPGD levels.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and Western blot (WB) were used to measure the morphological characteristics and surface markers of sEVs. In vitro analysis, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), CCK-8 cell proliferation assay, clone formation assay, Transwell, stem cell sphere-forming assay, and WB assay were conducted to verify the effect of miR-412-3p/TEAD1 signaling axis on the biological function of lung cancer cells through, respectively. Further validation was conducted using the serum sEVs of the participants.RESULTSThe expression level of sEVs-miR-412-3p in the mnLC group was significantly higher than that in the BLN and healthy groups (P< 0.01). In lung cancer cell lines, miR-412-3p can negatively regulate the targeted gene TEAD1. The miR-412-3p/TEAD1 signaling axis is involved in promoting the EMT signaling pathway and regulating the malignant biological functions of lung cancer cell proliferation, migration, and stemness (P< 0.05). In addition, sEVs in the mnLC group significantly promoted lung cancer cell proliferation, migration, and stemness compared to the BLN and healthy groups, inhibited the expression of E-cadherin and TEAD1 in lung cancer cells, and promoted the expression of N-cadherin and Vimentin (P< 0.05).CONCLUSIONsEVs-miR-412-3p could promote the biological process of EMT, and lead to the occurrence of malignant biological behavior in sub-centimeter lung nodules.

The early and accurate detection and discrimination of CAG from benign forms of gastritis (e.g. chronic superficial gastritis, CSG) is critical for optimal management of GC. However, accurate non-invasive methods for the diagnosis of CAG are currently lacking. Cytokines cause inflammation and drive cancer transformation in GC, but their utility as a diagnostic for CAG is poorly characterized.METHODSBlood samples were collected, and 40 cytokines were quantified using a multiplexed immunoassay from 247 patients undergoing screening via endoscopy. Patients were divided into discovery and validation sets. Each cytokine importance was ranked using the feature selection algorithm Boruta. The cytokines with the highest feature importance were selected for machine learning (ML), using the LightGBM algorithm.RESULTSFive serum cytokines (IL-10, TNF-α, Eotaxin, IP-10 and SDF-1a) that could discriminate between CAG and CSG patients were identified and used for predictive model construction. This model was robust and could identify CAG patients with high performance (AUC = 0.88, Accuracy = 0.78). This compared favorably to the conventional approach using the PGI/PGII ratio (AUC = 0.59).CONCLUSIONUsing state-of-the-art ML and a blood-based immunoassay, we developed an improved non-invasive screening method for the detection of precancerous GC lesions.FUNDINGSupported in part by grants from: Jiangsu Science and Technology Project (no.
