Melittin suppresses growth and induces apoptosis of non-small-cell lung cancer cells via down-regulation of TGF-β-mediated ERK signal pathway

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (2), 2021
The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-cancer effect of melittin on growth, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. This study also explored the potential anti-cancer mechanism of melittin in NSCLC cells. The results demonstrated that melittin suppre...

Association of tumor mutation burden and epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor history with survival in patients with metastatic stage III/IV non-small-cell lung cancer: A retrospective study

Clinics; 76 (), 2021
OBJECTIVES: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. However, factors associated with the survival of patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received only hospice care are largely unclear. In this study, we aimed to determine the prognostic factors corre...

Biomarker testing for advanced lung cancer by next-generation sequencing; a valid method to achieve a comprehensive glimpse at mutational landscape

Appl. cancer res; 40 (), 2020
Background: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) based assay for finding an actionable driver in non-small-cell lung cancer is a less used modality in clinical practice. With a long list of actionable targets, limited tissue, arduous single-gene assays, the alternative of NGS for broad testing in one experim...

Real-world molecular testing and treatment patterns in brazilian patients with newly diagnosed locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC

Clinics; 75 (), 2020
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the molecular testing and treatment patterns in a retrospective cohort of newly diagnosed treatment-naïve patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: This is an observational retrospective cohort study conducted across 10 cancer cent...

Expression of long noncoding RNA NBAT1 is associated with the outcome of patients with non-small cell lung cancer

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Long noncoding RNA neuroblastoma-associated transcript 1 (NBAT1) has been reported to be involved in cancer progression. However, the clinical significance of NBAT1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still unclear. Our present research aimed to explore whether NBAT1 serves as a ...

Mutational profile by targeted next generation sequencing of non-small cell lung cancer in the Mexican population

Salud pública Méx; 61 (3), 2019
Abstract: Objective: Targeted next-generation sequencing (t-NGS) has revolutionized clinical diagnosis allowing multiplexed detection of genomic alterations. This study evaluated the profile of somatic mutations by t-NGS in Mexican patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and method...

Epigenetics in non-small cell lung carcinomas

Salud pública Méx; 61 (3), 2019
Abstract: Objective: To perform a systematic review of the main epigenetic aberrations involved in non-small cell lung carcinomas' (NSCLC) diagnosis, progression, and therapeutics. Materials and methods: We performed a systematic review of the scientific literature on lung cancer epigenetics, focusin...

Molecular profile of non-small cell lung cancer in northeastern Brazil

J. bras. pneumol; 45 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the histological subtypes and mutational profiles of non-small cell lung cancer in Brazil, looking for correlations among histological subtypes, expression of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), EGFR mutation status, and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Met...

TFAP2C increases cell proliferation by downregulating GADD45B and PMAIP1 in non-small cell lung cancer cells

Biol. Res; 52 (), 2019
BACKGROUND: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the leading causes of death in the world. NSCLC diagnosed at an early stage can be highly curable with a positive prognosis, but biomarker limitations make it difficult to diagnose lung cancer at an early stage. To identify biomarkers for lung canc...
