MicroRNA-27a-3p has been implicated to play crucial roles in human cancers. However, the biological role and underlying mechanisms of microRNA-27a-3p in regulating nonsmall lung cancer remain unclear. MicroRNA-27a-3p expression levels in non-small lung cancer cell lines were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, using a normal cell line as control. The effects of microRNA-27a-3p on cell proliferation and apoptosis were analyzed by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and flow cytometry assay. Luciferase activity reporter assay and Western blot were conducted to validate the potential targets of miR27a-3p after preliminary screening by TargetScan. Effect of microRNA-27a-3p or homeobox B8 on the overall survival of patients with non-small lung cancer was analyzed at Kaplan-Meier Plotter website. MicroRNA-27a-3p expression levels were significantly reduced in non-small lung cancer cell lines compared with normal cell line. Overexpression of microRNA-27a-3p inhibits non-small lung cancer cell proliferation but promotes cell apoptosis. Homeobox B8 was further validated as a functional target of microRNA-27a-3p. Collectively, our results indicated that microRNA-27a-3p acts as a tumor suppressor in non-small lung cancer via targeting homeobox B8.

Abstract Cytokines play an important role in activating the immune system against malignant cells. One of these cytokines, interleukin-4 (IL-4) has entered clinical phase I trials because of its immunoregulatory potency. In the present study we report that recombinant human (rh) IL- 4 has major direct antiproliferative effects on one human lung cancer cell line (CCL 185) in vitro as measured by a human tumor cloning assay (HTCA), tritiated thymidine uptake, and counting cell numbers and marginal activity in a second cell line (HTB 56) in the HTCA. This activity could be abolished by neutralizing antibody against rhIL-4. The biological response of the tumor cells to the cytokine is correlated with expression of receptors for human IL-4 on both the mRNA level and the protein level. The responsive cell line, CCL 185, secretes IL-6 after being incubated with rhIL-4. On the other hand, neutralizing antibodies against IL-6 showed no influence on the growth modulatory efficacy of rhIL-4 in this cell line. Furthermore, CCL 185 does not show detectable production of IL-1, tumor necrosis factor alpha or interferon gamma after incubation with rhIL-4. Thus, the response to rhIL-4 is not mediated through autocrine production of these cytokines triggered by rhIL-4. In a next series of experiments some of the cell lines were xenotransplanted to BALB/c nu/nu mice. Subsequently, the mice were treated for 12 days with two doses of 0.5 mg/m2 rhIL-4 or control vehicle subcutaneously per day. Treatment with rhIL-4 yielded a significant inhibition of tumor growth versus control in two of the non-small cell lung cancer cell lines being responsive in vitro (CCL 185, HTB 56). Histology of the tumors in both groups showed no marked infiltration of the tumors with murine hematopoietic and lymphocytic cells consistent with the species specificity of IL-4. In contrast, no tumor growth inhibition was found in the small cell lung cancer cell lines (HTB 119, HTB 120) being nonresponsive in vitro. We conclude that rhIL-4 has direct antiproliferative effects on the growth of some human non-small cell lung cancer cell lines in vitro and in vivo, which together with its regulatory effects on various effector cell populations makes this cytokine an interesting candidate for further investigation in experimental cancer treatment.

Little information is reported on the antitumor effects of isoquinoline alkaloids, particularly protopine, a major component of Fumaria agraria, on lung cancer. The purpose of our study is to determine the cytotoxic effect of protopine from an extraction by fractionation of the aerial part of Fumaria agraria on two lung cancer cell lines, NCI-H23 and NCI-H460. The basic fraction containing protopine (60.7%) has cytotoxicity to the two lung cancer cell lines studied here. The cell line NCI-H460 is more sensitive after 72 h of treatment by protopine with an IC50 of 08.5 ± 0.09 μMthan the cell line NCI-H23 (IC50 = 14.8 ± 0.03 μM).

AbstractLung cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in both men and women worldwide. The high mortality rate in lung cancer is in part due to late-stage diagnostics as well as spread of cancer-cells to organs and tissues by metastasis. Automated lung cancer detection and its sub-types classification from cell’s images play a crucial role toward an early-stage cancer prognosis and more individualized therapy. The rapid development of machine learning techniques, especially deep learning algorithms, has attracted much interest in its application to medical image problems. In this study, to develop a reliable Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system for accurately distinguishing between cancer and healthy cells, we grew popular Non-Small Lung Cancer lines in a microfluidic chip followed by staining with Phalloidin and images were obtained by using an IX-81 inverted Olympus fluorescence microscope. We designed and tested a deep learning image analysis workflow for classification of lung cancer cell-line images into six classes, including five different cancer cell-lines (P-C9, SK-LU-1, H-1975, A-427, and A-549) and normal cell-line (16-HBE). Our results demonstrate that ResNet18, a residual learning convolutional neural network, is an efficient and promising method for lung cancer cell-lines categorization with a classification accuracy of 98.37% and F1-score of 97.29%. Our proposed workflow is also able to successfully distinguish normal versus cancerous cell-lines with a remarkable average accuracy of 99.77% and F1-score of 99.87%. The proposed CAD system completely eliminates the need for extensive user intervention, enabling the processing of large amounts of image data with robust and highly accurate results.

Abstract Background: Lung cancer, mainly including lung adenocarcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma and small cell lung cancer, is the cancer with the highest incidence and cancer-related mortality in the world. Platinum-based chemotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of various lung cancer subtypes, but not all patients can benefit from it, so it is worth identifying lung cancer patients who are resistant or insensitive.Method: The drug response and sequencing data of 170 lung cancer cell lines were downloaded from the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) database, and support vector machines (SVMs) and beam search were used to select an optimal gene panel that can predict the sensitivity of cell lines to cisplatin. Then, we used the available cell line data to explore the potential mechanisms.Result: In this study, SVMs and beam search were used to screen a 9-gene panel related to lung cancer cell line resistance to cisplatin, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.873 ± 0.004. The natural logarithm of the half maximal inhibitory concentration (lnIC50) values of the panel-MT group were significantly higher than those of the panel-WT group, regardless of whether lung cancer subtype was considered. In addition, we found that the differentially expressed pathways between the two groups may explain the difference.Conclusion: In this study, we found that a panel including nine genes (PLXNC1, KIAA0649, SPTBN4, SLC14A2, F13A1, COL5A1, SCN2A, PLEC, and ALMS1) can accurately predict sensitivity to cisplatin, which may provide individualized treatment recommendations to improve the prognosis of patients with lung cancer.

Non-small cell lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. MicroRNAs have been characterized as critical regulators for cancer progression including non-small cell lung cancer. This work explored microRNA-744-5p expression in non-small cell lung cancer cell lines and normal cell line using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Connection of microRNA-744-5p and paired box 2 was analyzed with bioinformatic analysis, luciferase activity reporter assay, and Western blot. Effects of microRNA-744-5p or paired box 2 expression on non-small cell lung cancer cell behaviors were analyzed using a series of in vitro experiments. MicroRNA-744-5p was found to have decreased expression in non-small cell lung cancer cell lines compared with normal cell line. Paired box 2 was identified as a direct target for microRNA-744-5p in non-small cell lung cancer. Overexpression of microRNA-744-5p inhibits non-small cell lung cancer cell proliferation, colony formation, and cell invasion in vitro through targeting paired box 2. The present study provided novel insights into the biological functions of microRNA-744-5p in non-small cell lung cancer.

This study investigated the effects of lyophilized mare milk, human milk, and cow colostrum on both human lung cancer cell lines, called A549, and healthy lung cell lines, called MRC5. Mare milk, human milk, and cow colostrum varieties were applied to 6 replicates in both cell lines with lyophilized milk concentrations ranging from 50-3,200 ppm. The cell viability was monitored by optic microscopy and determined by the MTT test. ANOVA and Duncan's multiple range tests were used to analyze data. The results of this study indicated that the most effective milk type on reducing the A549 lung cancer cell line was human milk, followed by mare milk; however, cow colostrum showed little effect. It was observed that human milk and mare milk had anti-proliferative effects on lung cancer cell line at concentrations which were non-toxic to healthy lung cell line.
