E2F1-autophagy-ALDH1A1 axis enhances self-renewal and drug resistance of lung cancer stem-like cells in a p53-dependent manner.
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a predominant subtype of non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma (NSCLC). It is typically asymptomatic and associated with high mortality rates. Despite recent advancements in screening technologies and therapeutic approaches, its pathogenesis still remains elusive. Therefore, it is imperative to explore new diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for LUAD management. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have high self-renewal capacity and incur therapeutic resistance, thus, considered as crucial elements in initiating and promoting tumor development. Contextual to this, the present study reveals the role of the transcriptional activator E2F1 in LUAD oncogenesis and its association with various biological characteristics of lung cancer stem cells (LCSCs). Whereby, it may also serve as a crucial factor in regulating autophagy. Autophagy can modulate stemness by either promoting or inhibiting CSCs characteristics. Pertinently, our study integrated bioinformatics, in-vitro and in-vivo experiments to elucidate that E2F1 can induce ALDH1A1 through autophagy, thus promoting self-renewal and drug resistance of LCSCs, as well as tumorigenicity. Mechanistically, "E2F1-autophagy-ALDH1A1" axis enhanced the self-renewal capacity and drug resistance of LCSCs in a p53-dependent manner, highlighting the potential of E2F1 as a promising marker for LUAD.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research is an esteemed peer-reviewed publication that focuses on cancer research, encompassing everything from fundamental discoveries to practical applications.
We welcome submissions that showcase groundbreaking advancements in the field of cancer research, especially those that bridge the gap between laboratory findings and clinical implementation. Our goal is to foster a deeper understanding of cancer, improve prevention and detection strategies, facilitate accurate diagnosis, and enhance treatment options.
We are particularly interested in manuscripts that shed light on the mechanisms behind the development and progression of cancer, including metastasis. Additionally, we encourage submissions that explore molecular alterations or biomarkers that can help predict the efficacy of different treatments or identify drug resistance. Translational research related to targeted therapies, personalized medicine, tumor immunotherapy, and innovative approaches applicable to clinical investigations are also of great interest to us.
We provide a platform for the dissemination of large-scale molecular characterizations of human tumors and encourage researchers to share their insights, discoveries, and methodologies with the wider scientific community.
By publishing high-quality research articles, reviews, and commentaries, the Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research strives to contribute to the continuous improvement of cancer care and make a meaningful impact on patients' lives.
