Abstract
AFAP1-AS1 plays a pro-tumor role in lung cancer. However, no investigation has focused on whether it is involved in the anticancer activity of metformin (Met) in the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to detect the expression of long non-coding (lnc)RNA AFAP1-AS1, the microRNA (miR)-3163, and secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) in LUAD tissues, or of A549 and H3122 cells. Cell Counting Kit-8, wound scratch, and cell invasion assays were performed to evaluate the effect of the overexpression of lncRNA AFAP1-AS1, miR-3163, and SPP1 on the malignant behaviors of A549 and H3122 cells. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) signaling pathway-related proteins were detected by Western blot analysis. Dual luciferase reporter or RIP assays were used to determine the interplay between AFAP1-AS1 and miR-3163, or of miR-3163 and SPP1. Met inhibits the malignant characteristics of A549 and H3122 cells in vitro. GEPIA database analysis showed that AFAP1-AS1 is a highly expressed lncRNA in LUAD tissues, which was validated by RT-qPCR. Overexpression of AFAP1-AS1 suppressed the met-mediated anti-tumor activity in A549 and H3122 cells, while AFAP1-AS1 silencing promoted it. Met inhibited AFAP1-AS1 expression, which resulted in reduced proliferation, migration, and invasion in A549 and H3122 cells. This led to AFAP1-AS1-mediated suppression of miR-3163 and, subsequently, the upregulation of SPP1. Met exerts its antitumor activities by regulating the AFAP1-AS1/miR-3163/SPP1/PI3K/Akt/mTOR axis. Our findings deepen our understanding of mechanisms underlying anti-tumor effect of Met in LUAD.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies suggest associations between diabetes mellitus and some cancers. The risk of a number of cancers appears to be increased in diabetes mellitus. On the other hand, some cancer and cancer therapies could lead to diabetes mellitus. Genetic factors, obesity, inflammation, oxidative stress, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, cancer therapies, insulin and some oral hypoglycemic drugs appear to play a role in the crosstalk between diabetes mellitus and cancers. This review summarized the associations between various types of diabetes and cancers and updated available evidence of underlying mechanisms between diabetes and cancers.

Abstract
The discovery of a large number of small pulmonary nodules and early diagnosis of lung cancer in the diabetic patients prompt us to re-examine the relationship between diabetes and the occurrence and development of lung cancer. The aim of this study was to explore the underlying metabolites changes in diabetes with NSCLC or benign nodule patients, and further to investigate the association of serum IGF-1 level and differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs). An untargeted metabolomics method was used to detect the changes of metabolism in diabetic patients with NSCLC on the platform of HR-MS. Serum level of IGF-1 was measured by ELISA. The patients were divided to three groups, DM, DLB (nodule), and DLC (cancer). we have identified numerous DEMs, which include amino acid, choline, and fatty acid derivatives. Further analysis of the involved metabolic pathways suggested that linoleate metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, histidine metabolism, putative anti-Inflammatory metabolites formation from EPA, and arachidonic acid metabolism were considered to be the most significant metabolic pathways between groups. Networks analysis suggested that a series of metabolites were associated with serum IGF-1among the three groups, which can be divided into 6 categories. Nine metabolites have been identified as the main DEMs among the DLC, DLB, and DM groups. In conclusion, metabolomics is a powerful and promising tool for the cancer risk evaluation in diabetic patients. Our results suggest that decreased IGF-1 level is associated with restrained amino acid metabolism in NSCLC with diabetes mellitus.

The Survival Benefit for Optimal Glycemic Control in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients With Preexisting Diabetes Mellitus. Front Oncol 2021; 11:745150.

Abstract
Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a frequent comorbidity in patients with cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the prognosis of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with DM and to assess whether an optimal glycemic control improves overall survival (OS). Methods A total of 1279 advanced NSCLC patients including 300 (23.5%) with preexisting DM were retrospectively reviewed. The continuous relationship between glycated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) level and OS was analyzed by restricted cubic spline (RCS) function. Optimal HbA1c cut-off point was determined using X-tile analysis. Survival was analyzed with the Kaplan–Meier method and compared among groups stratified by diabetes status and HbA1c. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was employed to identify prognostic factors for OS after adjusting for baseline characteristics. Results DM and non-DM patients had similar OS (median (95% CI): 22.85 (20.05-26.73) vs. 22.22 (20.35-24.76) months, P=0.950). The multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that DM status was not a prognostic factor for OS (HR: 0.952, 95% CI: 0.808-1.122, P=0.559). However, there existed a non-linear but generally positive relationship between the elevated HbA1c level and increased risk of overall mortality. HbA1c > 6.6% was a negative prognostic factor for OS (HR: 1.593, 95% CI: 1.113-2.280, P=0.011). The median OS (95% CI) for nondiabetic patients, DM patients with HbA1c ≤6.6% and those with HbA1c > 6.6% was 22.22 (20.01-24.43), 25.28 (21.79-28.77) and 15.45 (7.57-23.33) months, respectively. Well-controlled DM patients had a comparable crude OS (HR (95% CI): 0.90 (0.76-1.08), P=0.273] compared to nondiabetic patients while patients with HbA1c>6.6% had a worse crude OS than patients without DM (HR (95% CI): 1.70 (1.24-2.34), P=0.001]. The survival benefit of good HbA1c control was prominent in all subgroups. Conclusion Impaired glycemic level negatively affects survival for patients with advanced NSCLC while proper glycemic control with HbA1c ≤6.6% improves the OS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We investigated the influence of the preoperative haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) value on the prognosis and pathology of patients with lung adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of 400 lung adenocarcinoma patients who underwent lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection between 2009 and 2013 using a prospectively maintained database. We stratified 400 patients into 4 groups according to the preoperative HbA1c value as follows: HbA1c ≤ 5.9 (n = 296), 6.0 ≤ HbA1c ≤ 6.9 (n = 70), 7.0 ≤ HbA1c ≤ 7.9 (n = 21) and HbA1c ≥ 8.0 (n = 12). We compared the recurrence-free survival and overall survival (OS) among these 4 groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for recurrence. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 61.2 months. On comparing the recurrence-free survival and OS rates among these 4 groups, we found that these rates among patients in the HbA1c ≥ 8.0 group were significantly poorer compared with the other 3 groups (5-year recurrence-free survival: HbA1c ≤ 5.9, 70.4%; 6.0 ≤ HbA1c ≤ 6.9, 69.7%; 7.0 ≤ HbA1c ≤ 7.9, 70.7%; ≥8.0 HbA1c, 18.8%; P = 0.002; and 5-year OS: HbA1c ≤ 5.9, 88.7%; 6.0 ≤ HbA1c ≤ 6.9, 80.6%; 7.0 ≤ HbA1c ≤ 7.9, 90.2%; ≥8.0 HbA1c, 66.7%; P = 0.046). Patients in the HbA1c ≥ 8.0 group had significantly more tumours with vascular invasion (P = 0.041) and experienced distant metastasis significantly more often (P = 0.028) than those with other values. A multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative HbA1c ≥ 8.0 [hazard ratio (HR) 2.33; P = 0.026] and lymph node metastasis (HR 3.94; P < 0.001) were significant independent prognostic factors for recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Our results revealed that preoperative HbA1c ≥ 8.0 is associated to poor prognosis due to the occurrence of distant metastasis and we should carefully follow these patients after surgery.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common cancer type worldwide and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Diabetes is closely associated with the occurrence, development and prognosis of lung cancer. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate whether SNCG could affect the proliferation of lung cancer cells induced by high glucose. Lung cancer cells induced by high glucose simulated the pathologies of patients with lung cancer with diabetes in vitro. The proliferation of HBE cells and lung cancer cells after transfection and treatment of glucose was detected using Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. The mRNA expression levels of synuclein γ (SNCG), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) in HBE cells and lung cancer cells alone, or cells induced by high glucose were analyzed via reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q)PCR analysis. Moreover RT-qPCR analysis was used to determine the transfection efficiencies. The clone formation ability, migration and inflammation of lung cancer cells after high glucose induction and transfection were detected using clone formation, wound healing and ELISA assays. The protein expression levels of SNCG, IGF-1, IGF-1R, ERK 1/2, phosphorylated (p)-ERK1/2 and JNK in lung cancer cells after high glucose induction and transfection were determined using western blot analysis. The results suggested that high glucose significantly promoted the proliferation of A549, NCI-H1975 and SK-MES-1 cells at 24 and 48 h, as well as upregulated the expression levels of SNCG, IGF-1 and IGF-1R. Knockdown of SNCG suppressed the proliferation, clone formation ability and migration, but alleviated inflammation in A549 cells induced by high glucose. Knockdown of SNCG suppressed the expression levels of SNCG, IGF-1, IGF-1R, ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2, while it promoted JNK expression in A549 cells induced by high glucose. The effect of AXL1717 (an IGF-1R inhibitor) treatment on cells was consistent with that of SNCG knockdown. In conclusion, inhibition of SNCG suppresses proliferation of lung cancer cells induced by high glucose.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Studies showing that individuals with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and diabetes mellitus (DM) have reported poor outcomes after pulmonary resection with varying results. Therefore, we investigated the clinical impact of preoperative DM on postoperative morbidity and survival in individuals with resectable NSCLC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data of individuals who underwent pulmonary resection for NSCLC from 2000 to 2015 were extracted from the database of Kyoto University Hospital. The primary endpoint was the incidence of postoperative complications, and secondary endpoints were postoperative length of hospital stay and overall survival. The survival rate was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS A total of 2,219 patients were eligible for the study. The median age of participants was 67 years. Among them, 39.5% were women, and 259 (11.7%) presented with DM. The effect of DM on the incidence of postoperative complications and postoperative length of hospital stay was not significant. Although the 5-year survival rates were similar in both patients with and without DM (80.2% versus 79.4%; p = 0.158), those with DM who had a hemoglobin A1c level ≥ 8.0% had the worst survival. CONCLUSIONS In individuals with resectable NSCLC, preoperative DM does not influence the acute phase postoperative recovery. However, poorly controlled preoperative DM could lead to low postoperative survival rates.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was conducted to assess the relationship and prognostic significance between preoperative serum albumin to globulin ratio (AGR) and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) features of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Demographic parameters, laboratory values including AGR and other clinical variables were evaluated in 180 patients with NSCLC, and 72 of these patients had results of radiology parameters detected with HRCT [including emphysema, tumor disappearance rate (TDR), CT values and CT enhanced values of the tumor mass] were assessed for survival analyses. The 72 patients were divided into two groups: normal lung group and emphysema group. The discriminatory values for AGR between these two groups were assessed by Mann-Whitney U test The relationship between TDR and AGR in NSCLC patients was evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis. RESULTS In multivariate analysis, TDR (p = 0.033), AGR (p = 0.038), emphysema (p = 0.009), and N stage (P = 0.026) were independent predictors of overall survival (OS). AGR was higher in NSCLC patients without emphysema than NSCLC patients with emphysema (z = -2.979, P = 0.003). TDR demonstrated that there was a positive relationship with AGR (r = 0.307, p = 0.009). A nomogram with AGR, TDR, emphysema, and N stage was established to predict 5-year survival. CONCLUSIONS There is a relationship between CT features and AGR in NSCLC. The integrative nomogram combined with CT images, clinical and hematologic features improved survival prediction in NSCLC patients, which offers a non-invasive, comprehensive, and convenient evaluation for individualized management of NSCLC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cancer patients with comorbid diabetes have a 50% increased risk of all-cause mortality compared with cancer patients without diabetes. Less attention to diabetes management (glucose control, medication adherence, and diabetes self-management behaviors) during active cancer treatment is hypothesized as an explanation for worse outcomes among diabetic cancer patients. The objective of this systematic review is to determine and quantify how a cancer diagnosis impacts diabetes management. METHODS Quantitative and qualitative studies evaluating diabetes management among patients were identified by searching 4 databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Two independent reviewers extracted data and summarized results from eligible studies. Study quality was formally assessed. RESULTS Thirty-six studies met all inclusion criteria. We observed heterogeneity across studies in terms of study design, sample size, cancer site, type of diabetes management evaluated, and quality. Numerous articles discussed that overall, glucose control, medication adherence, and diabetes self-management behaviors declined following a cancer diagnosis. However, findings were inconsistent across studies. CONCLUSIONS Although the effects of a cancer diagnosis on diabetes management are mixed, when results across studies were synthesized together, diabetes management appeared to generally decline after a cancer diagnosis. Declines in diabetes management seem to be primarily due to shifts in the priority of care from diabetes management to cancer. A next critical step in this line of work is to identify patient and provider level predictors of better or worse diabetes management to design and test interventions aimed at improving effective diabetes management for cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a systemic disorder associated with inflammation and oxidative stress which may target many organs such as the kidney, retina, and the vascular system. The pathophysiology, mechanisms, and consequences of diabetes on these organs have been studied widely. However, no work has been done on the concept of the lung as a target organ for diabetes and its implications for lung diseases. AIM In this review, we aimed to investigate the effects of diabetes and hypoglycemic agent on lung diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, and lung cancer. We also reviewed the potential mechanisms by which these effects may affect lung disease patients. RESULTS Our results suggest that diabetes can affect the severity and clinical course of several lung diseases. CONCLUSIONS Although the diabetes-lung association is epidemiologically and clinically well-established, especially in asthma, the underlying mechanism and pathophysiology are not been fully understood. Several mechanisms have been suggested, mainly associated with the pro-inflammatory and proliferative properties of diabetes, but also in relation to micro- and macrovascular effects of diabetes on the pulmonary vasculature. Also, hypoglycemic drugs may influence lung diseases in different ways. For example, metformin was considered a potential therapeutic agent in lung diseases, while insulin was shown to exacerbate lung diseases; this suggests that their effects extend beyond their hypoglycemic properties.

[PMID: 31462928 PMCID: PMC6708148 DOI: 10.1186/s13040-019-0205-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2019] [Accepted: 08/14/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical outcomes of patients with resected T1-3N0-2M0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with the same tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage are diverse. Although other prognostic factors and prognostic prediction tools have been reported in many published studies, a convenient, accurate and specific prognostic prediction software for clinicians has not been developed. The purpose of our research was to develop this type of software that can analyze subdivided T and N staging and additional factors to predict prognostic risk and the corresponding mean and median survival time and 1-5-year survival rates of patients with resected T1-3N0-2M0 NSCLC. RESULTS Using a Cox proportional hazard regression model, we determined the independent prognostic factors and obtained a prognostic index (PI) eq. PI = ∑βixi.=0.379X1-0.403X2-0.267X51-0.167X61-0.298X62 + 0.460X71 + 0.617X72-0.344X81-0.105X91-0.243X92 + 0.305X101 + 0.508X102 + 0.754X103 + 0.143X111 + 0.170X112 + 0.434X113-0.327X122-0.247X123 + 0.517X133 + 0.340X134 + 0.457X143 + 0.419X144 + 0.407X145. Using the PI equation, we determined the PI value of every patient. According to the quantile of the PI value, patients were divided into three risk groups: low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups with significantly different survival rates. Meanwhile, we obtained the mean and median survival times and 1-5-year survival rates of the three groups. We developed the RNSCLC-PRSP software which is freely available on the web at http://www.rnsclcpps.com with all major browsers supported to determine the prognostic risk and associated survival of patients with resected T1-3N0-2 M0 non-small cell lung cancer. CONCLUSIONS After prognostic factor analysis, prognostic risk grouping and corresponding survival assessment, we developed a novel software program. It is practical and convenient for clinicians to evaluate the prognostic risk and corresponding survival of patients with resected T1-3N0-2M0 NSCLC. Additionally, it has guiding significance for clinicians to make decisions about complementary treatment for patients.
