CircUBXN7 Suppresses Cell Proliferation and Facilitates Cell Apoptosis in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Cell Injury by Sponging miR-622 and Regulating the IL6ST/JAK1/STAT3 Axis
[International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology] To elucidate the biological functions and mechanism of circular RNA in actual respiratory distress syndrome, scientists found that circUBXN7 was significantly increased in lipopolysaccharide-induced A549 and Beas-2B cell injury.

A Small Molecule Inhibitor of the UBE2F-CRL5 Axis Induces Apoptosis and Radiosensitization in Lung Cancer
[Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] To develop a small molecule available to selectively target neddylation E2 UBE2F for the treatment of lung cancer, researchers utilized a structure-based virtual screen and chemical optimizations to discover HA-9104.

Reprogramming of Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts by Apoptotic Cancer Cells Inhibits Lung Metastasis via Notch1-WISP-1 Signaling
[Cellular & Molecular Immunology] Researchers demonstrated that conditioned medium from lung cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) exposed to apoptotic cancer cells suppresses TGF-β1-induced migration and invasion of cancer cells and CAFs.

LCAT1 Is an Oncogenic LncRNA by Stabilizing the IGF2BP2-CDC6 Axis
[Cell Death & Disease] Investigators discovered LCAT1 physically interacted with and stabilized IGF2BP2, an m6A reader protein, by preventing its degradation via autolysosomes in lung cancer cells.

NT157 Exerts Antineoplastic Activity by Targeting JNK and AXL Signaling in Lung Cancer Cells
[Scientific Reports] Lung cancer was chosen to explore the NT157 multi-target effects as it was found associated with multiple activated oncogenic pathways relevant to the neoplastic phenotype targets of the drug.

HIV Immune Evasin Nef Enhances Allogeneic CAR T Cell Potency
[Nature] To devise a strategy to protect allogeneic CAR T cells from host immune cells, researchers turned to lymphotropic viruses that have evolved integrated mechanisms for the immune escape of virus-infected lymphocytes.
Shigella Infection Is Facilitated by Interaction of Human Enteric α-Defensin 5 with Colonic Epithelial Receptor P2Y11
[Nature Microbiology] Scientists showed that HD5 induced abundant filopodial extensions in epithelial cells that captured Shigella, a major human enteroinvasive pathogen that was able to exploit these filopodia for invasion, revealing a mechanism for HD5-augmented bacterial invasion.
A New Method for Detecting Mixed Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection and Reconstructing Constituent Strains Provides Insights into Transmission
[Genome Medicine] Scientists presented MixInfect2, a new tool to accurately detect mixed samples from Mycobacterium tuberculosis short-read whole genome sequence data.
