Targeting CAMK2N1/CAMK2 inhibits invasion, migration and angiogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer by promoting autophagy and apoptosis via AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Gene 2024; 913:148375. [PMID: 38490509 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2024.148375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
Deregulation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CAMK2) inhibitor 1 (CAMK2N1) has been reported to be associated with the development of several malignancies. To date, there have been few studies on the role of CAMK2N1 in lung cancer. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between CAMK2N1 and the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methodological quality was assessed using the ARRIVE guidelines. CAMK2N1 was expressed at low levels in NSCLC tissues. Overexpression of CAMK2N1 in NSCLC cell lines resulted in changes such as proliferation inhibition, metastasis inhibition, autophagy increase, and apoptosis. Mechanistic studies revealed the regulatory role of CAMK2N1/CAMK2 in AKT/mTOR signaling. Upregulation of CAMK2N1 decreased the expression levels of phosphorylated calmodulin kinase 2 (p-CaMK2), phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), and phosphorylated-mTOR (p-mTOR). In contrast, CAMK2 overexpression increased p-AKT and p-mTOR levels. Inhibition of autophagy or activation of AKT signaling reduced CAMK2N1-mediated tumor suppression. The tumorigenic ability of CAMK2N1 overexpressing cells significantly diminished in nude mice. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the cancer suppressive function of CAMK2N1 in NSCLC and showed that CAMK2N1/CAMK2 exerted anti-cancer effects by inhibiting the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway to promote autophagy.

Abstract
Management of multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC) remains challenging, partly due to its increasing incidence, especially with the significant rise in cases of multiple lung nodules caused by low-dose computed tomography screening. Moreover, the indefinite pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, and treatment selection add to the complexity. In recent years, there have been continuous efforts to dissect the molecular characteristics of MPLC and explore new diagnostic approaches as well as treatment modalities, which will be reviewed here, with a focus on newly emerging evidence and future perspectives, hope to provide new insights into the management of MPLC and serve as inspiration for future research related to MPLC.

Abstract
The co-occurrence of distinct lung cancer types within the same lobe is an exceedingly rare phenomenon. Here, we present a unique case wherein primary invasive squamous cell carcinoma and invasive adenocarcinoma concurrently manifested in the identical lung lobe. Additionally, we provide a comprehensive overview of the diagnosis and treatment approaches for multiple primary lung cancers, along with highlighting existing challenges based on the most recent guidelines. Our case underscores the importance of sampling each lesion individually, conducting separate diagnostic procedures, and determining the histological subtype for effective treatment planning irrespective of their location or size.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Up to 15% of lung cancer patients have multiple suspicious nodules. While some of these nodules may represent metastatic lung cancer, others represent synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (SMPLC). The incidence of SMPLC ranges from 0.8% to 8.4% and appears to be increasing. Inconsistent identification of SMPLC can be detrimental for patients who are misdiagnosed as having intrapulmonary metastasis and not offered stage-based treatment. We sought to identify the contemporary incidence of SMPLC at a tertiary institution. METHODS From January 2018 to September 2019, patients who underwent lung cancer resection were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with SMPLC were identified using the modified Martini-Melamed criteria. RESULTS During the 21-month period, 227 patients underwent lung cancer resection. There were 47 patients (20.7%) who had 119 pathologically confirmed SMPLC. Most patients had ipsilateral tumors (n = 24, 51.1%) with at least 1 adenocarcinoma (n = 40, 85.1%). Considering histologic subtyping, 38 (80.9%) had histologically distinct tumors. Overall and cancer-specific survival at 4 years was 86% and 90%, respectively. Only patients with 3 or more SMPLC had poor 4-year overall (P = 0.002) and cancer-specific survival (P = 0.043) compared with those with 2 SMPLC. Patient demographics, histology, tumor location, and highest pathologic staging did not affect survival outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Using a strict inclusion criterion, the incidence of SMPLC is higher than previously reported. SMPLC patients have favorable survival outcomes, suggesting that they behave like primary lung cancer, not intrapulmonary metastasis. Awareness of SMPLC by thoracic surgeons is critical in optimizing outcomes in this patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Simultaneous bilateral thoracoscopic lung resection (SBTLR) has been shown to be a feasible and efficacious approach for a wide range of pulmonary conditions. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of different procedures on surgical outcomes in patients receiving SBTLR. METHODS Between 2012 and 2021, 207 patients with bilateral lung neoplasms who underwent SBTLR were retrospectively reviewed. Fifty-one patients received ipsilateral plus contralateral lobectomy or sublobectomy (lobar group), whilst 156 patients received bilateral sublobectomy (sublobar group). Propensity scores were calculated and matched. Perioperative and clinicopathologic outcomes were compared. RESULTS The lobar group had a greater mean age (64.5 vs. 60.0 years, p = 0.008), longer operative time (254 vs. 205 min, p < 0.001), and more blood loss (74 vs. 46 ml, p < 0.001). The sublobar group had fewer complications (6.4 vs. 19.6%, p = 0.006), shorter hospital stay (4.8 vs. 7.4 days, p < 0.001), and lower hospital costs (p = 0.03). Among 50 pairs of matched groups, significant differences were found only in operative time, hospital stay, and costs. Maximum tumor size and pathological features differed significantly before and after matching (all p < 0.05), with the lobar group consistently demonstrating a larger main tumor (median, 2.5 cm) and a higher percentage of primary lung cancer (84%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a longer operative time was the factor associated with more complications (OR: 1.01; 95% CI 1.00-1.02, p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS With regard to SBTLR, our data suggests that sublobectomy may reduce the prolonged recovery, hospital costs, and complications incurred by lobectomy, without compromising oncological outcomes.

Abstract
Background For multiple subsolid nodules (SSNs) observed at lung CT, current management focuses on removal of the dominant (≥6 mm) nodule and monitoring of remaining SSNs. Whether the presence of these synchronous SSNs is related to postoperative patient outcomes has not been well established. Purpose To evaluate the prognostic value of single versus multiple synchronous SSNs at preoperative CT in patients with resected subsolid lung adenocarcinoma nodules. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included patients who underwent lobectomy or sublobar resection for lung adenocarcinoma manifesting as an SSN and clinical stage IA from January 2010 to December 2017. The radiologic features of the resected SSN (dominant nodule) and synchronous SSNs were assessed on preoperative CT scans. The effects of synchronous SSNs on time to secondary intervention, time to recurrence (TTR), and overall survival (OS) were evaluated using Cox regression analysis. Results Of the 684 included patients (mean age, 60.9 years ± 9.5 [SD]; 389 female), 515 (75.3%) had a single SSN and 169 (24.7%) had multiple SSNs on preoperative CT scans. During follow-up (median, 71.8 months), 38 secondary interventions were performed, primarily due to growth of synchronous SSNs (21 of 38) or metachronous nodules (14 of 38). As the number of synchronous SSNs greater than or equal to 6 mm in size increased, the time to secondary intervention decreased (P < .001). No association was observed between synchronous SSNs and TTR (P = .53) or OS (P = .65), but these measures were associated with features of the resected nodule, specifically solid portion size for TTR (P = .01) and histologic subtype for TTR and OS (P < .001 for both). Conclusion In patients with subsolid lung adenocarcinoma, the presence of synchronous SSNs on preoperative CT scans was not associated with TTR or OS, but the presence of synchronous SSNs greater than or equal to 6 mm in size was associated with an increased likelihood of secondary intervention. © RSNA, 2023 Supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) play an important role in cancer development. Based on advancements in CSC research, we propose a monophyletic model of cancer. This model is based on the idea that CSCs are stem cells with disordered differentiation whose original purpose was to repair damaged tissues. Inflammatory responses and damage repair signals are crucial for the creation and maintenance of CSCs. Normal quiescent stem cells are activated by environmental stimulation, such as an inflammatory response, and undergo cell division and differentiation. In the initial stage of cancer development, stem cell differentiation leads to heteromorphism due to the accumulation of gene mutations, resulting in the development of metaplasia or precancerosis. In the second stage, accumulated mutations induce poor differentiation and lead to cancer development. The monophyletic model illustrates the evolution, biological behavior, and hallmarks of CSCs, proposes a concise understanding of the origin of cancer, and may encourage a novel therapeutic approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diagnosing and treating synchronous multiple primary lung cancers (sMPLC) are complex and challenging. This study aimed to report real-world data on the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of patients with early-stage sMPLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS A single-center cohort study was carried out and a large number of patients with early-stage sMPLC were included. A single- or two-stage surgery was performed to remove the primary and co-existing lesions. The "X" strategies, including ablation, SBRT, and EGFR-TKIs treatment, were applied to treat the high-risk residual lesions. Wide panel-genomic sequencing was performed to assess the genetic heterogeneity of the co-existing lesions. RESULTS A total of 465 early-stage sMPLC patients with 1198 resected lesions were included. Despite most patients being histologically different or harboring different genetic alternations, about 7.5% of the patients had the same histological type and driver gene mutation changes, comprehensive re-evaluation is thus needed. The "Surgery + X" strategy showed remarkable efficacy and safety in treating multiple lesions. Follow-up data revealed that the T2 stage (p = 0.014) and the solid presence of a primary lesion (p < 0.001) were significantly related to tumor recurrence. And a T2-stage primary tumor had a significantly higher rate of developing new lesions after the initial surgery (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In real-world practice, histopathological and radiological evaluation combined with genetic analyses could be a robust diagnostic approach for sMPLC. The "Surgery + X" treatment strategy showed remarkable efficacy, superiority, and safety in the clinical treatment of early-stage sMPLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-chromosomal structure maintenance protein condensin complex I subunit H (NCAPH) has been reported to play a regulatory role in a variety of cancers and is associated with tumor poor prognosis. This study aims to explore the potential role of NCAPH with a view to providing insights on pathologic mechanisms. METHODS The expression of NCAPH in different tumors was explored by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype Tissue Expression (GTEx). The prognostic value of NCAPH was retrieved through GEPIA and Kaplan-Meier Plotter databases. Tumor Immunity Estimation Resource (TIMER) and Single-Sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) to search for the association of NCAPH with tumor immune infiltration. The cBioPortal and PhosphoSite Plus databases showed NCAPH phosphorylation status in tumors. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed using bioinformatics. RESULTS Our findings revealed that NCAPH showed high expression levels in a wide range of tumor types, and was strongly correlated with the prognosis of patients. Moreover, a higher phosphorylation level at S59, S67, S76, S190, S222 and T38 site was discovered in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC). NCAPH overexpression was positively correlated with the infiltration level of CD8+T cells and myeloid dendritic infiltration in breast cancer and thymoma. CONCLUSIONS The up-regulation of NCAPH was significantly correlated with the poor prognosis and immune infiltration in pan-cancer, and NCAPH could be served as a potential immunotherapeutic target for cancers.

Abstract
In recent decades, multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC) has been increasingly prevalent in clinical practice. However, many details about MPLC have not been completely settled, such as understanding the driving force, clinical management, pathological mechanisms, and genomic architectures of this disease. From the perspective of diagnosis and treatment, distinguishing MPLC from lung cancer intrapulmonary metastasis (IPM) has been a clinical hotpot for years. Besides, compared to patients with single lung lesion, the treatment for MPLC patients is more individualized, and non-operative therapies, such as ablation and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), are prevailing. The emergence of next-generation sequencing has fueled a wave of research about the molecular features of MPLC and advanced the NCCN guidelines. In this review, we generalized the latest updates on MPLC from definition, etiology and epidemiology, clinical management, and genomic updates. We summarized the different perspectives and aimed to offer novel insights into the management of MPLC.

Predicting Tumor Mutation Burden and EGFR Mutation Using Clinical and Radiomic Features in Patients with Malignant Pulmonary Nodules. J Pers Med 2022; 13:jpm13010016. [PMID: 36675677 PMCID: PMC9865229 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13010016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Pulmonary nodules (PNs) shown as persistent or growing ground-glass opacities (GGOs) are usually lung adenocarcinomas or their preinvasive lesions. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) and somatic mutations are important determinants for the choice of strategy in patients with lung cancer during therapy. A total of 93 post-operative patients with 108 malignant PNs were enrolled for analysis (75 cases in the training cohort and 33 cases in the validation cohort). Radiomics features were extracted from preoperative non-contrast computed tomography (CT) images of the entire tumor. Using commercial next generation sequencing, we detected TMB status and somatic mutations of all FFPE samples. Here, 870 quantitative radiomics features were extracted from the segmentations of PNs, and pathological and clinical characteristics were collected from medical records. The LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) regression and stepwise logistic regressions were performed to establish the predictive model. For the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation, the AUCs of the clinical model and the integrative model validated by the validation set were 0.6726 (0.4755-0.8697) and 0.7421 (0.5698-0.9144). For the TMB status, the ROCs showed that AUCs of the clinical model and the integrative model validated by the validation set were 0.7808 (0.6231-0.9384) and 0.8462 (0.7132-0.9791). The quantitative radiomics signatures showed potential value in predicting the EGFR mutant and TMB status in GGOs. Moreover, the integrative model provided sufficient information for the selection of therapy and deserves further analysis.

Abstract
With the development of technologies, multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC) has been detected more frequently. Although large-scale genomics studies have made significant progress, the aberrant gene mutation in MPLC is largely unclear. In this study, 141 and 44 lesions from single and multiple primary lung adenocarcinoma (SP- and MP-LUAD) were analyzed. DNA and RNA were extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue and sequenced by using the next-generation sequencing-based YuanSu450TM gene panel. We systematically analyzed the clinical features and gene mutations of these lesions, and found that there were six genes differently mutated in MP-LUAD and SP-LUAD lesions, including RBM10, CDK4, ATRX, NTRK1, PREX2, SS18. Data from the cBioPortal database indicated that mutation of these genes was related to some clinical characteristics, such as TMB, tumor type, et al. Besides, heterogeneity analysis suggested that different lesions could be tracked back to monophyletic relationships. We compared the mutation landscape of MP-LUAD and SP-LUAD and identified six differentially mutated genes (RBM10, CDK4, ATRX, NTRK1, PREX2, SS18), and certain SNV loci in TP53 and EGFR which might play key roles in lineage decomposition in multifocal samples. These findings may provide insight into personalized prognosis prediction and new therapies for MP-LUAD patients.

[PMID: 36271786 PMCID: PMC9750809 DOI: 10.1111/1759-7714.14706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Revised: 10/08/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND An increasing number of patients are being diagnosed with synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (SMPLC) with the popularization of lung cancer screening programs. However, a strategy for accurate location and suitable surgery therapy is still lacking. The present study aimed to explore the accuracy and feasibility of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB)-guided thoracoscopic sublobectomy for stage IA SMPLC. METHODS Patients with SMPLC who underwent ENB-guided sublobectomy from January 2020 to June 2022 were enrolled in this study. The analysis of localization accuracy of ENB and surgical outcome was conducted. RESULTS Overall, 138 patients with 353 malignant nodules were enrolled. The tumor size was 0.7 cm (range from 0.5 to 1.1 cm). ENB localization was performed on 162 nodules, and a customized scoring system was developed to evaluate localization accuracy. The success rate of localization was 98.3% (178/181). Notably, localization accuracy was positively correlated with bronchial signs (p < 0.01) and negatively correlated with the distance from the nodule to the pleura (p = 0.02). All nodules were completely resected. Operation time, drainage volume on the third postoperative day, and catheter time were significantly correlated with the resected lesion numbers (p = 0.009, p = 0.004, and p = 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS ENB-guided uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic sublobectomy provides accurate preoperative localization and avoids unnecessary lung resection of patients with stage IA SMPLC. However, complete resection of multilocation nodules (more than four lesions) increases the risk of postoperative complications. A new combined treatment strategy for SMPLC should be explored.

Recent Advances in the Diagnosis and Management of Multiple Primary Lung Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14010242.

Abstract
With the wide application of computed tomography in lung cancer screening, the incidence of multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC) has been increasingly reported. Despite the established criteria, the differentiation between MPLC and intrapulmonary metastasis remains challenging. Although histologic features are helpful in some circumstances, a molecular analysis is often needed. The application of next-generation sequencing could aid in distinguishing MPLCs from intrapulmonary metastasis, decreasing ambiguity. For MPLC management, surgery with lobectomy is the main operation method. Limited resection does not appear to negatively affect survival, and it is a reasonable alternative. Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) has become a standard of care for patients refusing surgery or for those with medically inoperable early-stage lung cancer. However, the efficacy of SABR in MPLC management could only be found in retrospective series. Other local ablation techniques are an emerging alternative for the control of residual lesions. Furthermore, systemic therapies, such as targeted therapy for oncogene-addicted patients, and immunotherapy have shown promising results in MPLC management after resection. In this paper, the recent advances in the diagnosis and management of MPLC are reviewed.
