Abstract
The antitumor and antimetastatic activity of dopamine D2 receptor antagonists spiperone was studied in C57BL/6 mice in a model of combined pathology (emphysema and lung cancer). Emphysema was induced by administration of LPS and cigarette smoke extract. Lung cancer was induced by injection of Lewis lung carcinoma cells into the lung. It has been shown that under conditions of combined lung pathology, spiperone prevents inflammatory infiltration and emphysematous expansion of the lungs and reduces the size of the primary tumor node, the number of metastases, and the area of the lungs affected by metastases. Spiperone reduces the number of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in the lungs and blood of mice with combined pathology. CSCs isolated from the lungs and blood of mice with combined pathology treated with spiperone had a significantly lower potential to form a tumorosphere in vitro than CSCs from untreated mice with emphysema and lung carcinoma. Thus, blockade of dopamine D2 receptors is a promising approach for correcting combined lung pathology and can be used in the development of a method for treating lung cancer in patients with emphysema.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pneumonia and lung cancer are both major respiratory diseases, and observational studies have explored the association between their susceptibility. However, due to the presence of potential confounders and reverse causality, the comprehensive causal relationships between pneumonia and lung cancer require further exploration. METHODS Genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary-level data were obtained from the hitherto latest FinnGen database, COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative resource, and International Lung Cancer Consortium. We implemented a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) framework to evaluate the causal relationships between several specific types of pneumonia and lung cancer. The causal estimates were mainly calculated by inverse-variance weighted (IVW) approach. Additionally, sensitivity analyses were also conducted to validate the robustness of the causalty. RESULTS In the MR analyses, overall pneumonia demonstrated a suggestive but modest association with overall lung cancer risk (Odds ratio [OR]: 1.21, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01 - 1.44, P = 0.037). The correlations between specific pneumonia types and overall lung cancer were not as significant, including bacterial pneumonia (OR: 1.07, 95% CI: 0.91 - 1.26, P = 0.386), viral pneumonia (OR: 1.00, 95% CI: 0.95 - 1.06, P = 0.891), asthma-related pneumonia (OR: 1.18, 95% CI: 0.92 - 1.52, P = 0.181), and COVID-19 (OR: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.78 - 1.30, P = 0.952). Reversely, with lung cancer as the exposure, we observed that overall lung cancer had statistically crucial associations with bacterial pneumonia (OR: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.03 - 1.13, P = 0.001) and viral pneumonia (OR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.01 - 1.19, P = 0.037). Sensitivity analysis also confirmed the robustness of these findings. CONCLUSION This study has presented a systematic investigation into the causal relationships between pneumonia and lung cancer subtypes. Further prospective study is warranted to verify these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over the past 2 decades, population-based studies have shown an increased association between asthma and the risk of lung cancer. However, the causal links between these 2 conditions remain poorly understood. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search of various databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, up until May 04, 2023. Only articles published in English were included in our study. We performed a meta-analysis using random-effects models to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). Subgroup analyses were conducted based on study design, gender, and histologic types. We also conducted a 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) using the genome-wide association study pooled data (408,422 people) published by the UK Biobank to explore further the potential causal relationship between asthma and lung cancer. RESULTS Our meta-analysis reviewed 24 population-based cohort studies involving 1072,502 patients, revealing that asthma is significantly associated with an increased risk of lung cancer (OR = 1.29, 95% CI 1.19-1.38) in all individuals. Subgroup analysis showed a significantly higher risk of lung cancer in females with asthma (OR = 1.23, 95% CI 1.01-1.49). We found no significant association between asthma and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) (OR = 0.76, 95% CI 0.54-1.05), lung squamous carcinomas (LUSC) (OR = 1.09, 95% CI 0.79-1.50), or small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) (OR = 1.00, 95% CI 0.68-1.49). Interestingly, our MR analysis supported an increasing causality between asthma and lung cancer (OR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.17, P = .0008), specifically in those who ever smoker (OR = 1.09, 95% CI 1.01-1.16, P = .0173) and LUSC pathological type (OR = 1.15, 95% CI 1.05-1.26, P = .0038). CONCLUSION Through meta-analysis, our study confirms that patients with asthma have a higher risk of developing lung cancer. Our MR study further support an increasing causal relationship between asthma and the risk of lung cancer, particularly in smokers and LUSC. Future studies examining the link between asthma and the risk of developing lung cancer should consider the bias of controlled and uncontrolled asthma.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Although smoking-related lung cancers continue to account for the majority of diagnoses, smoking rates have been decreasing for several decades. Lung cancer in individuals who have never smoked (LCINS) is estimated to be the fifth most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide in 2023, preferentially occurring in women and Asian populations. As smoking rates continue to decline, understanding the aetiology and features of this disease, which necessitate unique diagnostic and treatment paradigms, will be imperative. New data have provided important insights into the molecular and genomic characteristics of LCINS, which are distinct from those of smoking-associated lung cancers and directly affect treatment decisions and outcomes. Herein, we review the emerging data regarding the aetiology and features of LCINS, particularly the genetic and environmental underpinnings of this disease as well as their implications for treatment. In addition, we outline the unique diagnostic and therapeutic paradigms of LCINS and discuss future directions in identifying individuals at high risk of this disease for potential screening efforts.

Abstract
Background: Cancer patients are more exposed to opportunistic infections, such as COVID-19, due to their poor health status. This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of cancer and non-cancer patients with COVID-19 that may lead to death, intubation, and ICU admission. Materials and Methods: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional study was conducted on confirmed COVID-19 adult patients with and without a history of cancer from March 2019 to March 2021. Demographic and clinical features, ICU admission, intubation, and discharge status have been extracted from patients' medical records. Chi-square, odds ratio, Mann-Whitney test, and logistic regression were used to analyze the data. Results: The death rate in 1332 cancer patients was 28% compared to the 91464 noncancer patients which was 9% with an odds ratio of 3.94 and p<0.001. ICU admission rates among the cancer group were 43%, while in the noncancer group, it was 17.9% (p<0.001). Moreover, intubation was done for 20.9% of cancer patients and 7.4% of non-cancer patients (p<0.001). However, no significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of length of stay in the hospital. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age, level of consciousness, SPO2, and autoimmune disorders were associated with mortality in cancer patients with COVID-19. Conclusion: This study showed that older age, loss of consciousness, low oxygen saturation, and suffering from autoimmune disorders were the predictors of death in cancer patients with COVID-19. These results can have important implications for the management and care of cancer patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
Lung cancer and asthma are both global health problems with significant economic consequences. Recent studies have demonstrated that asthma may be a risk factor for lung cancer. The present study aimed to explore the pathogenesis between these two diseases through a comprehensive analysis. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) screened in the asthma-related GSE165934 dataset were analyzed to find relevant inflammatory pathways. Overlapping genes regulated by inflammatory pathways and lung cancer-DEGs from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were obtained and subjected to survival and gene-wide mutation analyses, and nomogram construction to determine the hub gene. The hub gene was further analyzed through expression validation, immunoassays and functional experiments to investigate its role and mechanism in lung cancer. Functional enrichment analysis showed that 1,275 DEGs from GSE165934 were closely associated with the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, and 8 overlapping genes were identified from 12 genes regulated by the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and 3,134 TCGA-DEGs. After a series of bioinformatics analyses, it was found that triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM1) was the hub gene involved in the mechanism of asthma and lung cancer. TREM1 was also found to be a suppressor gene in lung cancer correlated with immune cells, immune checkpoint-related genes and tumor mutational burden score. Additionally, the results of Cell Counting Kit-8 and Transwell experiments demonstrated that overexpression of TREM1 could significantly inhibit the invasion, proliferation and migration of lung cancer cells. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting demonstrated that the overexpression of TREM1 could also significantly reduce the level of Toll-like receptor signaling pathway proteins. The present findings suggest that TREM1 is associated with the mechanism of asthma and lung cancer through its regulation of the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. Furthermore, TREM1 may serve as a potential treatment target and prognostic indicator for patients with lung cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disease and a risk factor for lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is a neuroendocrine tumor with a high degree of malignancy and an overall five-year survival rate of less than 7%. CASES PRESENTATION Herein, we report the case of an 68-year-old male presented to the respiratory department with cough, sputum, and dyspnea. He was diagnosed as community acquired pneumonia and treated with intravenous anti-infection. Previous pulmonary function was definitively diagnosed as COPD. About 7 months after discharge, the patient returned to the hospital for cough and dyspnea. After diagnosis of the tumor, cisplatin, etoposide and durvalumab were administered. Finally the patient died of respiratory failure approximately 9 months after his diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS For COPD patients with immunocompromised manifestations, it is necessary to be alert to complications and shorten the follow-up interval of chest CT. COPD may accelerate the formation and progression of SCLC.

Abstract
AIMS Chronic lung diseases are a major and increasing global health problem, commonly caused by cigarette smoke. We aimed to explore the antioxidant effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) against cigarette smoke in bronchial epithelial cells. METHODS AND RESULTS The antioxidant effects of 21 heat-killed (HK) LAB strains were tested in cigarette smoke-stimulated BEAS-2B cells and 3-D bronchospheres organoids. We showed that HK Lactiplantibacillus plantarum BGPKM22 possesses antioxidant activity against cigarette smoke, resistance to hydrogen peroxide, and free radical neutralizing activity. We demonstrated that HK BGPKM22 inhibited cigarette smoke-induced expression of the Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and Nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) genes. The cell-free supernatant (SN) of BGPKM22 fully confirmed the effects of HK BGPKM22. CONCLUSIONS For the first time, we revealed that HK and SN of Lactip. plantarum BGPKM22 possess antioxidant activity and modulate AhR and Nrf2 gene expression in bronchial epithelial cells exposed to cigarette smoke.

Prevalence of pre-existing lung diseases and their association with income level among patients with lung cancer: a nationwide population-based case-control study in South Korea. BMJ Open Respir Res 2023; 10:e001772. [PMID: 37940354 PMCID: PMC10632895 DOI: 10.1136/bmjresp-2023-001772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of pre-existing lung diseases in patients with lung cancer compared to people without lung cancer and examine the association between income levels and pre-existing lung diseases. METHODS Data on patients with lung cancer (case) and the general population without lung cancer (non-cancer controls) matched by age, sex and region were obtained from the Korea National Health Insurance Service-National Health Information Database (n=51 586). Insurance premiums were divided into quintiles and medicaid patients. Conditional logistic regression models were used to examine the association between pre-existing lung diseases and the risk of lung cancer. The relationship between income level and the prevalence of pre-existing lung disease among patients with lung cancer was analysed using logistic regression models. RESULTS The prevalence of asthma (17.3%), chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) (9.3%), pneumonia (9.1%) and pulmonary tuberculosis (1.6%) in patients with lung cancer were approximately 1.6-3.2 times higher compared with the general population without lung cancer. A significantly higher risk for lung cancer was observed in individuals with pre-existing lung diseases (asthma: OR=1.36, 95% CI 1.29 to 1.44; COPD: 2.11, 95% CI 1.94 to 2.31; pneumonia: 1.49, 95% CI 1.38 to 1.61; pulmonary tuberculosis: 2.16, 95% CI 1.75 to 2.66). Patients with lung cancer enrolled in medicaid exhibited higher odds of having pre-existing lung diseases compared with those in the top 20% income level (asthma: OR=1.75, 95% CI 1.56 to 1.96; COPD: 1.91, 95% CI 1.65 to 2.21; pneumonia: 1.73, 95% CI 1.50 to 2.01; pulmonary tuberculosis: 2.45, 95% CI 1.78 to 3.36). CONCLUSIONS Pre-existing lung diseases were substantially higher in patients with lung cancer than in the general population. The high prevalence odds of pre-existing lung diseases in medicaid patients suggests the health disparity arising from the lowest income group, underscoring a need for specialised lung cancer surveillance.

Microbial infections as potential risk factors for lung cancer: Investigating the role of human papillomavirus and chlamydia pneumoniae. AIMS Public Health 2023; 10:627-646. [PMID: 37842273 PMCID: PMC10567973 DOI: 10.3934/publichealth.2023044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide. Apart from tobacco smoke and dietary factors, microbial infections have been reported as the third leading cause of cancers globally. Deciphering the association between microbiome and lung cancer will provide potential biomarkers and novel insight in lung cancer progression. In this current study, we performed a meta-analysis to decipher the possible association between C. pneumoniae and human papillomavirus (HPV) and the risk of lung cancer. Methods Literature search was conducted in most English and Chinese databases. Data were analyzed using CMA v.3.0 and RevMan v.5.3 software (Cochrane-Mantel-Haenszel method) by random-effects (DerSimonian and Laird) model. Results The overall pooled estimates for HPV studies revealed that HPV infections in patients with lung cancer were significantly higher than those in the control group (OR = 2.33, 95% CI = 1.57-3.37, p < 0.001). Base on subgroup analysis, HPV infection rate was significantly higher in Asians (OR = 6.38, 95% CI = 2.33-17.46, p < 0.001), in tissues (OR = 5.04, 95% CI = 2.27-11.19, p < 0.001) and blood samples (OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 1.02-1.93, p = 0.04) of lung cancer patients but non-significantly lower in males (OR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.57-1.22, p =0.35) and among lung cancer patients at clinical stage I-II (OR = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.61-1.49, p = 0.82). The overall pooled estimates from C. pneumoniae studies revealed that C. pneumoniae infection is a risk factor among lung cancer patients who are IgA seropositive (OR = 1.88, 95% CI = 1.30-2.70, p < 0.001) and IgG seropositive (OR = 1.50, 95% CI = 1.10-2.04, p = 0.010). All seronegative IgA (OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.42-1.16, p = 0.16) and IgG (OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.42-105, p = 0.08) titers are not associative risk factors to lung cancer. Conclusions Immunoglobulin (IgA) and IgG seropositive titers of C. pneumoniae and lungs infected with HPV types 16 and 18 are potential risk factors associated with lung cancer.

[PMID: 37410540 PMCID: PMC10397566 DOI: 10.1002/cac2.12463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Most lung cancer risk prediction models were developed in European and North-American cohorts of smokers aged ≥ 55 years, while less is known about risk profiles in Asia, especially for never smokers or individuals aged < 50 years. Hence, we aimed to develop and validate a lung cancer risk estimate tool for ever and never smokers across a wide age range. METHODS Based on the China Kadoorie Biobank cohort, we first systematically selected the predictors and explored the nonlinear association of predictors with lung cancer risk using restricted cubic splines. Then, we separately developed risk prediction models to construct a lung cancer risk score (LCRS) in 159,715 ever smokers and 336,526 never smokers. The LCRS was further validated in an independent cohort over a median follow-up of 13.6 years, consisting of 14,153 never smokers and 5,890 ever smokers. RESULTS A total of 13 and 9 routinely available predictors were identified for ever and never smokers, respectively. Of these predictors, cigarettes per day and quit years showed nonlinear associations with lung cancer risk (Pnon-linear < 0.001). The curve of lung cancer incidence increased rapidly above 20 cigarettes per day and then was relatively flat until approximately 30 cigarettes per day. We also observed that lung cancer risk declined sharply within the first 5 years of quitting, and then continued to decrease but at a slower rate in the subsequent years. The 6-year area under the receiver operating curve for the ever and never smokers' models were respectively 0.778 and 0.733 in the derivation cohort, and 0.774 and 0.759 in the validation cohort. In the validation cohort, the 10-year cumulative incidence of lung cancer was 0.39% and 2.57% for ever smokers with low (< 166.2) and intermediate-high LCRS (≥ 166.2), respectively. Never smokers with a high LCRS (≥ 21.2) had a higher 10-year cumulative incidence rate than those with a low LCRS (< 21.2; 1.05% vs. 0.22%). An online risk evaluation tool (LCKEY; http://ccra.njmu.edu.cn/lckey/web) was developed to facilitate the use of LCRS. CONCLUSIONS The LCRS can be an effective risk assessment tool designed for ever and never smokers aged 30 to 80 years.

Abstract
CONTEXT Shortness of breath is a distressing symptom that occurs in 10% to 70% of oncology patients. Despite this broad range in its occurrence, little is known about inter-individual variability in shortness of breath and associated risk factors among patients receiving chemotherapy. OBJECTIVES Identify subgroups of patients with distinct shortness of breath profiles; evaluate for differences among these subgroups in demographic and clinical characteristics; evaluate for differences among symptom dimensions of shortness of breath, and evaluate for differences in quality of life outcomes. METHODS Outpatients (n=1338) completed questionnaires six times over two chemotherapy cycles. Occurrence of shortness of breath was assessed using the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale. Latent class analysis was used to identify subgroups of patients with distinct shortness of breath profiles. RESULTS Four distinct shortness of breath profiles were identified (None [70.5%], Decreasing [8.2%], Increasing [7.8%], High [13.5%]). Risk factors for membership in High class included: history of smoking, self-reported diagnosis of lung disease, having lung cancer, and receipt of a higher number of cancer treatments. Compared to the None class, High class reported poorer physical, psychological, and social functioning. CONCLUSIONS Almost 14% of patients with heterogeneous types of cancer receiving chemotherapy had persistently high occurrence rates of shortness of breath for almost two months. In addition, compared to the Decreasing and Increasing classes, the High class' episodes of shortness of breath were more frequent and more severe. Clinicians need to assess all oncology patients for shortness of breath and provide targeted interventions.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) serves as risk factor for the development of lung cancer and seems to have a prognostic impact after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim was to investigate the impact of COPD and postoperative mucostasis on the long-term survival after resected NSCLC. We retrospectively reviewed the data from 342 patients with curatively resected NSCLC. The prognostic long-term impact of COPD and postoperative mucostasis on overall survival (OS), recurrence free survival (RFS) and cancer specific survival (CSS) was calculated using univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses. We found that 52.3% suffered from COPD and 25.4% had postoperative mucostasis. COPD was significantly more common among smokers (59.9%) compared with non-smokers (21.3%), (p < 0.001). There was a significant relationship between COPD and postoperative mucostasis (p = 0.006) and between smoking and mucostasis (p = 0.023). Patients with postoperative mucostasis had a significantly worse OS (p < 0.001), RFS (p = 0.009) and CSS (p = 0.008). The present analysis demonstrated that postoperative mucostasis, but not COPD, was associated with both worse short- and long-term outcomes for OS, RFS and CSS in curatively resected NSCLC.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the primary causes of death with poor life expectancy after diagnosis. History of past respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), emphysema, and chronic bronchitis can increase the risk of lung cancer. Very few studies are available to simultaneously assess multiple respiratory diseases and lung cancer. The objective of this study was to investigate correlations between asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive lung disease with lung cancer in the US adult population. This was a cross-sectional study using data from a total of 23,523 adult participants from the National Health Examination and Nutrition Survey (NHANES) datasets for seven cycles ranging from 2003-2004 to 2015-2016. To analyze the data, specialized weighted complex survey logit regressions were conducted. Linear logit regression models using only main-effects were constructed first to assess the correlation between the selected demographic and lifestyle variables and asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and COPD. A second set of linear, main-effects logit regression models were constructed to examine the correlation between lung cancer and asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, COPD when corrected for the selected covariates. The study identified positive correlations between emphysema, chronic bronchitis, COPD, and lung cancer. No correlation between asthma and lung cancer was established. Of the covariates studied, race/ethnicity, marital status, highest educational level, age, family income to poverty ratio, and lifetime smoking were also found to be correlated with the presence of lung cancer. Correlations between the covariates gender, body mass index, alcohol consumption, and country of birth and lung cancer were not found. The study established statistically significant correlations between lung cancer and the lung diseases emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and COPD. The lack of association between asthma and lung cancer may arise from the timeline of diagnosis asthma or type of lung cancer. The study also established significant correlations between lung cancer and several of the covariates included in the analysis. It also established correlations between the covariates and the lung diseases asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and COPD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although genome-wide association studies have been conducted to investigate genetic variation of lung tumorigenesis, little is known about gene-gene (G × G) interactions that may influence the risk of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Leveraging a total of 445,221 European-descent participants from the International Lung Cancer Consortium OncoArray project, Transdisciplinary Research in Cancer of the Lung and UK Biobank, we performed a large-scale genome-wide G × G interaction study on European NSCLC risk by a series of analyses. First, we used BiForce to evaluate and rank more than 58 billion G × G interactions from 340,958 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Then, the top interactions were further tested by demographically adjusted logistic regression models. Finally, we used the selected interactions to build lung cancer screening models of NSCLC, separately, for never and ever smokers. RESULTS With the Bonferroni correction, we identified eight statistically significant pairs of SNPs, which predominantly appeared in the 6p21.32 and 5p15.33 regions (e.g., rs521828C6orf10 and rs204999PRRT1, ORinteraction = 1.17, p = 6.57 × 10-13; rs3135369BTNL2 and rs2858859HLA-DQA1, ORinteraction = 1.17, p = 2.43 × 10-13; rs2858859HLA-DQA1 and rs9275572HLA-DQA2, ORinteraction = 1.15, p = 2.84 × 10-13; rs2853668TERT and rs62329694CLPTM1L, ORinteraction = 0.73, p = 2.70 × 10-13). Notably, even with much genetic heterogeneity across ethnicities, three pairs of SNPs in the 6p21.32 region identified from the European-ancestry population remained significant among an Asian population from the Nanjing Medical University Global Screening Array project (rs521828C6orf10 and rs204999PRRT1, ORinteraction = 1.13, p = 0.008; rs3135369BTNL2 and rs2858859HLA-DQA1, ORinteraction = 1.11, p = 5.23 × 10-4; rs3135369BTNL2 and rs9271300HLA-DQA1, ORinteraction = 0.89, p = 0.006). The interaction-empowered polygenetic risk score that integrated classical polygenetic risk score and G × G information score was remarkable in lung cancer risk stratification. CONCLUSIONS Important G × G interactions were identified and enriched in the 5p15.33 and 6p21.32 regions, which may enhance lung cancer screening models.

Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2022; 31:1442-1449. [PMID: 35534234 PMCID: PMC9377735 DOI: 10.1158/1055-9965.epi-21-1365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 05/02/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between smoking, airflow limitation, and lung cancer occurrence is unclear. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between airflow limitation and lung cancer, and the effect modification by smoking status. METHODS We included participants with spirometry data from Lifelines, a population-based cohort study from the Northern Netherlands. Airflow limitation was defined as FEV1/FVC ratio < 0.7. The presence of pathology-confirmed primary lung cancer during a median follow-up of 9.5 years was collected. The Cox regression model was used and hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were reported. Adjusted confounders included age, sex, educational level, smoking, passive smoking, asthma status and asbestos exposure. The effect modification by smoking status was investigated by estimating the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) and the ratio of HRs with 95% CI. RESULTS Out of 98,630 participants, 14,200 (14.4%) had airflow limitation. In participants with and without airflow limitation, lung cancer incidence was 0.8% and 0.2%, respectively. The adjusted HR between airflow limitation and lung cancer risk was 1.7 (1.4-2.3). The association between airflow limitation and lung cancer differed by smoking status [former smokers: 2.1 (1.4-3.2), current smokers: 2.2 (1.5-3.2)] and never smokers [0.9 (0.4-2.1)]. The RERI and ratio of HRs was 2.1 (0.7-3.4) and 2.5 (1.0-6.5) for former smokers, and 4.6 (95% CI, 1.8-7.4) and 2.5 (95% CI, 1.0-6.3) for current smokers, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Airflow limitation increases lung cancer risk and this association is modified by smoking status. IMPACT Ever smokers with airflow limitation are an important target group for the prevention of lung cancer.

Abstract
Despite the increasing urgency of the problem of treating small cell lung cancer (SCLC), information on the causes of its development is fragmentary. There is no complete understanding of the features of antitumor immunity and the role of the microenvironment in the development of SCLC resistance. This impedes the development of new methods for the diagnosis and treatment of SCLC. Lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have common pathogenetic factors. COPD is a risk factor for lung cancer including SCLC. Therefore, the search for effective approaches to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of SCLC in patients with COPD is an urgent task. This review provides information on the etiology and pathogenesis of SCLC, analyses the effectiveness of current treatment options, and critically evaluates the potential of chimeric antigen receptor T cells therapy (CART therapy) in SCLC. Moreover, we discuss potential links between lung cancer and COPD and the role of endothelium in the development of COPD. Finally, we propose a new approach for increasing the efficacy of CART therapy in SCLC.

Abstract
We report the case of a 55-year-old male patient with concomitant pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma and reactivated tuberculosis, documented with multiple MSCT (multi-slice computed tomography) changes. The patient initially presented with productive cough, sluggishness, fatigue, voice hoarseness and tuberculosis changes in MSCT. Later, he was diagnosed with pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma, which was confirmed by sputum cytology and transthoracic biopsy. Therefore, clinicians should always evaluate the likelihood of simultaneous lung cancer in patients whose MSCT images suggest TB alterations in the lungs, and swiftly decide on the correct treatment and management approach.

Abstract
Previous lung diseases (PLD) are known risk factors for lung cancer. However, it remains unclear how the association varies by lung cancer subtype and socio-demographic characteristics. We conducted a systematic literature search in three electronic databases from the inception of each database up until 13 January 2021. A total of 73 studies (18 cohort and 55 case-control studies) consisting of 97,322 cases and 7,761,702 controls were included. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I 2 statistic. Based on the heterogeneity, either the fixed-effects or random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled summary estimate (PSE) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association between PLD and lung cancer risk. A history of asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and COPD was associated with higher lung cancer risk, with a history of COPD and emphysema having at least two-fold relative risk. A history of hay fever was associated with lower lung cancer risk (PSE= 0.66, 95% CI= 0.54-0.81), even among ever-smokers (PSE= 0.55, 95% CI= 0.41-0.73). Older individuals with a history of asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, COPD, or tuberculosis were associated with higher lung cancer risk. Individuals with a diagnosis of asthma, emphysema, or pneumonia within 1 to 10 years prior to lung cancer diagnosis were associated with higher lung cancer risk. Among ever-smokers, a history of COPD or emphysema have at least two-fold relative risk of lung cancer. PLD was associated with higher risk of lung cancer. Individuals with PLD should be closely monitored and prioritised for lung cancer screening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The etiology of lung cancer in never smokers is partly unknown. We aimed to assess the effect of fruits and vegetables consumption on lung cancer risk in never smokers. METHODS We pooled five multicenter case-control studies performed in Northwestern Spain. Cases and controls were all never smokers. All lung cancer cases had anatomopathological confirmed diagnoses. We performed a multivariate logistic regression to analyze the effect of different types of fruits and vegetables consumption on lung cancer risk. RESULTS A total of 438 cases and 781 controls were included. We observed that a consumption from one to six times per week shows a negative association with lung cancer risk for: kiwis (OR 0.67; 95%CI 0.46-0.95), oranges (OR 0.55; 95%CI 0.37-0.80), turnip tops (OR 0.48; 95%CI 0.34-0.66), "berza gallega" (OR 0.70; 95%CI 0.51-0.97) and broccoli (OR 0.55; 95%CI 0.35-0.83) compared to less than once a week consumption. On the other hand, we found an increased risk for lung cancer with a daily consumption of tomatoes, carrots and potatoes. CONCLUSIONS Oranges, kiwis, turnip tops, berza gallega and broccoli may play a protective role on lung cancer development in never smokers while tomatoes, carrots and potatoes might have some association with this disease.

Abstract
We highlight the ability of the tuberculosis (TB) causing bacterial pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), to induce key characteristics that are associated with established IARC classified Group 1 and Group 2A carcinogenic agents. There is sufficient evidence from epidemiological case-control, cohort and meta-analysis studies of increased lung cancer (LC) risk in pre-existing/active/old TB cases. Similar to carcinogens and other pathogenic infectious agents, exposure to aerosol-containing Mtb sprays in mice produce malignant transformation of cells that result in squamous cell carcinoma. Convincing, mechanistic data show several characteristics shared between TB and LC which include chronic inflammation, genomic instability and replicative immortality, just to name a few cancer hallmarks. These hallmarks of cancer may serve as precursors to malignant transformation. Together, these findings form the basis of our postulate that Mtb is a complete human pulmonary carcinogen. We also discuss how Mtb may act as both an initiating agent and promoter of tumor growth. Forthcoming experimental studies will not only serve as proof-of-concept but will also pivot our understanding of how to manage/treat TB cases as well as offer solutions to clinical conundrums of TB lesions masquerading as tumors. Clinical validation of our concept may also help pave the way for next generation personalized medicine for the management of pulmonary TB/cancer particularly for cases that are not responding well to conventional chemotherapy or TB drugs.

Abstract
Although the therapeutic effect of mycobacteria as antitumor agents has been known for decades, recent epidemiological and experimental studies have revealed that mycobacterium-related chronic inflammation may be a possible mechanism of cancer pathogenesis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non-tuberculous Mycobacterium avium complex infections have been implicated as potentially contributing to the etiology of lung cancer, whereas Mycobacterium ulcerans has been correlated with skin carcinogenesis. The risk of tumor development with chronic mycobacterial infections is thought to be a result of many host effector mechanisms acting at different stages of oncogenesis. In this paper, we focus on the nature of the relationship between mycobacteria and cancer, describing the clinical significance of mycobacteria-based cancer therapy as well as epidemiological evidence on the contribution of chronic mycobacterial infections to the increased lung cancer risk.

Abstract
The understanding of gut microbiota has emerged as a significant frontier in development of strategies to maintain normal human body's homeostasis and preventing the disease development over the last decade. The composition of the gut microbiota influences the clinical benefit of immune checkpoints in patients with advanced cancer, but the mechanisms underlying this relationship are unclear. Cancer is among the leading causes of mortality worldwide. So far, there is no universal treatment for cancer and despite significant advances, a lot of improvement on cancer therapy is required. Owing to its role in preserving the host's health and maintaining cellular integrity, the human gut microbiome has recently drawn a lot of interest as a target for cancer treatment. Dietary fiber is fermented by the gut microbiota to generate short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as acetate, butyrate, and propionate, which are physiologically active metabolites. SCFAs can modulate the pathophysiology of the tumor environment through various critical signaling pathways. In addition, SCFAs can bind to carcinogens and other toxic chemicals, thus facilitating their biotransformation and elimination through different excretory mechanisms. This review discusses the mechanisms of action of short-chain fatty acids in modulating hematopoiesis of various immune system cells and the resultant beneficial anti-cancer effects. It also provides future perspectives on cancer therapy.

Abstract
Background Although cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for lung cancer, the incidence rate of lung cancer among non-smokers is notable. The etiology and potential mechanism of non-smoker lung cancer are worthy of further research. This study was designed to explore the collective effects of environmental factors and the relationship between environmental exposure index (EEI) and lung cancer among non-smokers by evaluating the joint effects among lung disease history, environmental factors, and family history of lung cancer without smoking confounders. Methods A total of 767 never-smoked lung cancer cases and 767 sex- and age-matched controls were selected from the department of Thoracic Surgery and Respiratory Medicine of three hospitals in Fujian, China. We used two methods to develop the EEI according to 12 statistically significant environmental risk factors. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was applied to analyze the non-linear relationship between EEI and lung cancer in non-smokers. Combined effects, additive interaction, and multiplicative interaction were assessed among lung disease history, EEI, and family history of lung cancer to estimate susceptibility to develop lung cancer. Results Lung disease history, especially asthma, was significantly associated with an increased risk of lung cancer with an odds ratio (OR) for asthma history of 14.720 (95% CI: 1.877–115.449). Family history of lung cancer was related to susceptibility of lung cancer (OR = 3.347, 95% CI: 1.930–5.806). According to type of relatives and cancer, a parental or children’s history and a sibling’s history of lung cancer were significantly associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. The positive association between EEI and lung cancer was apparently stronger in those with lung disease history or family lung cancer history. Furthermore, there was a addictive interaction between EEI and lung disease history, and a possibly addictive interaction between EEI and family lung cancer history on development of lung cancer. Conclusions There were combined effects among lung disease history, environmental exposures, and family history of lung cancer toward susceptibility to lung cancer in Chinese non-smokers. Non-smokers who had a family history of lung cancer were at higher risk of lung cancer than non-smokers who had lung disease history. Non-smokers with family cancer history may obtain benefits from removal of environmental exposures and active treatment of lung disease.

Abstract
Early detection of lung cancer by screening has contributed to reduce lung cancer mortality. Identifying high risk subjects for lung cancer is necessary to maximize the benefits and minimize the harms followed by lung cancer screening. In the present study, individual lung cancer risk in Korea was presented using a risk prediction model. Participants who completed health examinations in 2009 based on the Korean National Health Insurance (KNHI) database (DB) were eligible for the present study. Risk scores were assigned based on the adjusted hazard ratio (HR), and the standardized points for each risk factor were calculated to be proportional to the b coefficients. Model discrimination was assessed using the concordance statistic (c-statistic), and calibration ability assessed by plotting the mean predicted probability against the mean observed probability of lung cancer. Among candidate predictors, age, sex, smoking intensity, body mass index (BMI), presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) were finally included. Our risk prediction model showed good discrimination (c-statistic, 0.810; 95% CI: 0.801-0.819). The relationship between model-predicted and actual lung cancer development correlated well in the calibration plot. When using easily accessible and modifiable risk factors, this model can help individuals make decisions regarding lung cancer screening or lifestyle modification, including smoking cessation.

Abstract
Epidemiologic studies often rely on questionnaire data, exposure measurement tools, and/or biomarkers to identify risk factors and the underlying carcinogenic processes. An emerging and promising complementary approach to investigate cancer etiology is the study of somatic "mutational signatures" that endogenous and exogenous processes imprint on the cellular genome. These signatures can be identified from a complex web of somatic mutations thanks to advances in DNA sequencing technology and analytical algorithms. This approach is at the core of the Sherlock-Lung study (2018-ongoing), a retrospective case-only study of over 2,000 lung cancers in never-smokers (LCINS), using different patterns of mutations observed within LCINS tumors to trace back possible exposures or endogenous processes. Whole genome and transcriptome sequencing, genome-wide methylation, microbiome, and other analyses are integrated with data from histological and radiological imaging, lifestyle, demographic characteristics, environmental and occupational exposures, and medical records to classify LCINS into subtypes that could reveal distinct risk factors. To date, we have received samples and data from 1,370 LCINS cases from 17 study sites worldwide and whole-genome sequencing has been completed on 1,257 samples. Here, we present the Sherlock-Lung study design and analytical strategy, also illustrating some empirical challenges and the potential for this approach in future epidemiologic studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer risk prediction models do not routinely incorporate imaging metrics available on low-dose CT (LDCT) imaging of the chest ordered for lung cancer screening. RESEARCH QUESTION What is the association between quantitative emphysema measured on LDCT imaging and lung cancer incidence and mortality, all-cause mortality, and airflow obstruction in individuals who currently or formerly smoked and are undergoing lung cancer screening? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS In 7,262 participants in the CT arm of the National Lung Screening Trial, percent low attenuation area (%LAA) was defined as the percentage of lung volume with voxels less than -950 Hounsfield units on the baseline examination. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, adjusting for competing risks where appropriate, were built to test for association between %LAA and lung cancer incidence, lung cancer mortality, and all-cause mortality with censoring at 6 years. In addition, multivariable logistic regression models were built to test the cross-sectional association between %LAA and airflow obstruction on spirometry, which was available in 2,700 participants. RESULTS The median %LAA was 0.8% (interquartile range, 0.2%-2.7%). Every 1% increase in %LAA was independently associated with higher hazards of lung cancer incidence (hazard ratio [HR], 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.03; P = .004), lung cancer mortality (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.00-1.05; P = .045), and all-cause mortality (HR, 1.01; 95% CI, 1.00-1.03; P = .042). Among participants with spirometry, 892 had airflow obstruction. The likelihood of airflow obstruction increased with every 1% increase in %LAA (odds ratio, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.06-1.09; P < .001). A %LAA cutoff of 1% had the best discriminative accuracy for airflow obstruction in participants aged > 65 years. INTERPRETATION Quantitative emphysema measured on LDCT imaging of the chest can be leveraged to improve lung cancer risk prediction and help diagnose COPD in individuals who currently or formerly smoked and are undergoing lung cancer screening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES As the US population ages, both cancer and multimorbidity become more common and pose challenges to the healthcare system. Limited studies have examined the association between multimorbidity and cancer prevalence in the US adult population. To help address this gap, we evaluated the associations between individual chronic conditions and all-site cancer, multimorbidity and all-site cancer, and multimorbidity and site-specific cancers. STUDY DESIGN This is a cross-sectional study. METHODS Data from 10,731 adults aged 20 years or older who participated in the 2013-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used in our study. Self-reported demographics, smoking status, sedentary behavior, body mass index, individual chronic conditions, multimorbidity status, cancer history, and cancer sites were assessed. RESULTS In our sample, the prevalence of having any type of cancer or multimorbidity was 9% (N = 861) and 38% (N = 4248), respectively. Respiratory conditions (multivariable-adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.3; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1-1.6) and arthritis (multivariable-adjusted OR: 1.5; 95% CI: 1.2-1.8) were observed to be statistically significantly associated with having all-site cancer after adjusting for potential confounders. Having multimorbidity was also statistically significantly associated with having all-site cancer (multivariable-adjusted OR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.2-1.7), cervical cancer (multivariable-adjusted OR: 2.6; 95% CI: 1.2-5.4), and bladder cancer (multivariable-adjusted OR: 2.8; 95% CI: 1.0-7.6). CONCLUSIONS Multimorbidity was associated with all-site cancer, cervical cancer, and bladder cancer. The present study provides new evidence of the potential relationships between multimorbidity and cancer. Future longitudinal studies are warranted to clarify the temporality and potential biological mechanisms of the associations between multimorbidity and cancer.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is the most common global cancer. An individual’s risk of developing LC is mediated by an array of factors, including family history of the disease. Considerable research into genetic risk factors for LC has taken place in recent years, with both low-penetrance and high-penetrance variants implicated in increasing or decreasing a person’s risk of the disease. LC is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide; poor survival is driven by late onset of non-specific symptoms, resulting in late-stage diagnoses. Evidence for the efficacy of screening in detecting cancer earlier, thereby reducing lung-cancer specific mortality, is now well established. To ensure the cost-effectiveness of a screening programme and to limit the potential harms to participants, a risk threshold for screening eligibility is required. Risk prediction models (RPMs), which provide an individual’s personal risk of LC over a particular period based on a large number of risk factors, may improve the selection of high-risk individuals for LC screening when compared with generalised eligibility criteria that only consider smoking history and age. No currently used RPM integrates genetic risk factors into its calculation of risk. This review provides an overview of the evidence for LC screening, screening related harms and the use of RPMs in screening cohort selection. It gives a synopsis of the known genetic risk factors for lung cancer and discusses the evidence for including them in RPMs, focusing in particular on the use of polygenic risk scores to increase the accuracy of targeted lung cancer screening.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lung cancer, one of the most prominent malignancies of today worldwide, affects mainly men; however, recently women have also been increasingly afflicted by the disease. Our aim was to retrospectively analyze a series of potential risk factors for the disease and their potential to affect both genders. METHODS Our retrospective study relied on anonymized data collected between 2017 and 2020 at a single hospital specialized on lung diseases. After receiving ethical clearance, data pertaining to risk factors as well as statistical aspects of the lot were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS We found 493 patients (398 men) aged between 31 and 90 years (median 67) who were found with lung tumors and selected a matched cohort of patients with other diseases. We found positive associations between the presence of smoking, COPD, or pollution and the occurrence of lung cancer. Almost all lung cancer patients presented different significant associated diseases. Family history also favored the appearance of lung cancer. CONCLUSION Several risk factors remain high in lung tumor patients, and rapid measures to diminish the impact of such factors are needed in order to decrease the overall incidence of this pathology.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the first cause of death from malignant disease. The distressing epidemiological data show the increasing female to male incidence ratio for this tumor. A high incidence of lung cancer in never smokers with importance of environmental agents makes a problem among women. Adenocarcinoma (ADC) is noted in women with increasing rate and ethnic background impacts female lung cancer with differences in the incidence of genetic aberrations. The conception of different hormonal status is taken into consideration as potential explanation of variant cancer biology and clinical manifestation in women and men. The impact of 17-β-estradiol, estrogen receptors, aromatase expression, pituitary sex hormones receptors in carcinogenesis with relation between estrogens and genetic aberrations are investigated. The response to newest therapies among female is also different than in men. This overview summarizes currently available evidence on the specificity of female lung cancer and presents the direction of necessary studies.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is still one of the most frequent cancers with a high related mortality. Their prognosis is directly proportional to the stage at the time of diagnosis. Seventy percent are currently diagnosed in advanced or locally advanced stage (higher than stage III), making a cure unlikely for the majority of patients. Developments in LC treatment are significant however they do not seem to be enough to reverse the current situation, at least, in a short period of time. Despite recent advances in treatment, primary prevention and early diagnosis appear to be the key to reduce the incidence and mortality of this disease. Many countries have developed LC screening programs based on the results of clinical trials published in recent years. The aim of this paper is to review the latest results of the NEderlands Leuvens Longkanker Screenings Onderzoek and compare them with the findings of the National Lung Screening Trial. We address the question whether it is necessary to continue discussing the evidence regarding LC screening. In both trials, there is a clear impact on LC mortality but, with a modest reduction in over all mortality. Undoubtedly, the benefit of screening can be expected to grow as low-dose computed tomographys are performed over longer periods of time.

Abstract
To investigate the effect of fermented black barley on cooking oil fume (COF)-induced lung injury, male ICR mice were randomized into five groups: normal control (NC), fermented black barley treatment (NF), COF exposure (O), COF + fermented black barley treatment (OF) and COF + Lactobacillus treatment (OL). The exposure of mice to COF was performed for 5 min per day and 4 days per week for a total of 9 weeks, and the mice in the OF, NF and OL groups were administered fermented black barley or Lactobacillus continuously for 9 weeks (1 mL/100 g). Our results showed that the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), total phenolic, and flavonoid contents significantly increased after fermentation (P < 0.01). In addition, fermented black barley significantly increased SOD activity in the lung tissue, decreased the wet pulmonary coefficient, inhibited the reduction of microbial diversity and richness, and upregulated genes involved in cilium assembly and the cilium axoneme. These findings support the notion that fermented black barley can ameliorate COF-induced lung injury in mice.

Abstract
Infection and inflammation serve an important role in tumor development. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a pivotal component of the innate and adaptive immune response during infection and inflammation. Programmed-death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is hypothesized as an important factor for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) immune escape. In the present study, the relationship between TLR4 and PD-L1, in addition to the associated molecular mechanism, were investigated. TLR4 and PD-L1 expression in lung cancer tissues were detected using immunohistochemistry, whilst overall patient survival was measured using the Kaplan-Meier method. The A549 cell line stimulated using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was applied as the in vitro inflammatory NSCLC model. Associated factors were investigated using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting. Lung cancer tissues exhibited increased PD-L1 and TLR4 levels compared with those of adjacent para-cancerous tissues, where there was a positive correlation between TLR4 and PD-L1 expression. In addition, increased expression of these two proteins was found to be linked with poorer prognoses. Following the stimulation of A549 cells with LPS, TLR4 and PD-L1 expression levels were revealed to be upregulated in a dose-dependent manner, where the ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways were found to be activated. Interestingly, in the presence of inhibitors of these two pathways aforementioned, upregulation of PD-L1 expression was only inhibited by the MEK inhibitor PD98059, which can inhibit ERK activity. These data suggested that the ERK signaling pathway is necessary for the TLR4/PD-L1 axis. In conclusion, data from the present study suggest that TLR4 and PD-L1 expression can serve as important prognostic factors for NSCLC, where TLR4 activation may induce PD-L1 expression through the ERK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background Various studies have investigated the association between pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and lung cancer However, how the relationship between TB and lung cancer may differ by age is not yet clear. This study investigated how risk for lung cancer after pulmonary TB may differ by age. Methods This study used the National Health Insurance Service–National Sample Cohort in South Korea. We compared 3,776 pulmonary TB patients with 18,880 controls matched for sex and age during the period from 2003 to 2013. We analyzed the incidence of lung cancer after diagnosis of active pulmonary TB. A multivariate Cox proportional hazard model was used to calculate the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of lung cancer after adjusting for sex, age, house income, and smoking status. Results Among 3,776 pulmonary TB patients, 86 had lung cancer diagnoses, whereas there were 108 lung cancer patients among 18,880 controls. The incidence rate ratio in the pulmonary TB group was 12.26 within 1 year and 3.33 at 1–3.9 years after TB infection, compared to the control group. There was increased risk for lung cancer in pulmonary TB patients compared to controls (HR, 4.18; 95% CI, 3.15–5.56). Compared to patients <50 years of age, the risks for lung cancer were HR 9.85, 7.1, 3.32, and 2.57 in patients aged 50–59, 60–69, and ≥70 years, respectively. Conclusions Pulmonary TB is a risk factor for lung cancer. Patients with pulmonary TB should be monitored for subsequent development of lung cancer, particularly in younger patients.

Tuberculosis infection and lung adenocarcinoma: Mendelian randomization and pathway analysis of genome-wide association study data from never-smoking Asian women. Genomics 2020; 112:1223-1232.

Abstract
We investigated whether genetic susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB) influences lung adenocarcinoma development among never-smokers using TB genome-wide association study (GWAS) results within the Female Lung Cancer Consortium in Asia. Pathway analysis with the adaptive rank truncated product method was used to assess the association between a TB-related gene-set and lung adenocarcinoma using GWAS data from 5512 lung adenocarcinoma cases and 6277 controls. The gene-set consisted of 31 genes containing known/suggestive associations with genetic variants from previous TB-GWAS. Subsequently, we followed-up with Mendelian Randomization to evaluate the association between TB and lung adenocarcinoma using three genome-wide significant variants from previous TB-GWAS in East Asians. The TB-related gene-set was associated with lung adenocarcinoma (p = 0.016). Additionally, the Mendelian Randomization showed an association between TB and lung adenocarcinoma (OR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.66, p = 0.027). Our findings support TB as a causal risk factor for lung cancer development among never-smoking Asian women.

Histopathological Type of Lung Cancer and Underlying Driver Mutations in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) versus Patients with Asthma and COPD Overlap: A Single-Center Retrospective Study. Turk Thorac J 2020; 21:75-79. [PMID: 32202995 DOI: 10.5152/turkthoracj.2019.18100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2018] [Accepted: 02/18/2019] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) increases the risk of lung cancer. The relationships between COPD and Asthma COPD Overlap (ACO), and between the histopathological types of lung cancer and driver mutations remain unclear and need further study. The aim of this retrospective study was to examine the relationships between the histopathological type, frequency of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) driver mutations, and anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase (ALK) rearrangements in the lung cancers of patients with COPD and ACO. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with pure COPD (n=198) or ACO (n=318) who were admitted to our hospital were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS Lung cancers were identified in 43 (21.7%) patients with pure COPD and 54 (17.0%) patients with ACO. The following lung cancers types were observed: patients with pure COPD had 19 (44.2%) adenocarcinomas, 13 (30.2%) squamous cell lung carcinomas (SCC), 8 (18.6%) small cell lung carcinomas (SCLC); patients with ACO had 23 (42.6%) adenocarcinomas, 23 (42.6%) SCC, 2 (3.70%) SCLC. SCLC was significantly more prevalent in patients with pure COPD (p<0.05) than in those with ACO. Differences between the numbers of other histological types of lung cancer and the numbers of driver mutations in the 2 groups of patients were not significant. CONCLUSION The differences in the rate of lung cancer and prevalence of EGFR driver mutations between the patients with pure COPD and those with ACO were not significant.

The potential for malignancy from atopic disorders and allergic inflammation: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Exp Allergy 2020; 50:147-159. [PMID: 31743536 PMCID: PMC6994341 DOI: 10.1111/cea.13537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2019] [Revised: 10/23/2019] [Accepted: 11/07/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE While chronic inflammation is a well-established risk factor for malignancy, studies evaluating the relationship between allergic inflammation and cancer have revealed conflicting results. Here, we aimed to assess the association between allergic inflammation in the lung (asthma), skin (eczema) or oesophagus (eosinophilic oesophagitis; EoE) and cancer at the organ site. DESIGN We conducted a systematic review of the literature to identify observational studies (case-control, cohort and cross-sectional) evaluating the association between asthma and lung cancer, eczema and skin cancer, or EoE and oesophageal cancer. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed to define pooled estimates of effects. DATA SOURCES PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SELECTION Included studies evaluated the incidence of cancer. RESULTS Thirty-two studies met the inclusion criteria, 27 in the lung, four in the skin and one in the oesophagus. Meta-analysis of the three studies with prospective data collection of asthma diagnosis revealed a positive association with incident lung cancer (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.09-1.44); however, this result was not consistently supported by the larger dataset of retrospective studies (OR 1.37, 95% CI 0.90-1.83). Overall, studies in the lung displayed significant heterogeneity (I2 98%, P < .0001), but no significant effect modification on the association between asthma and lung cancer was identified for the variables of sex, smoking or study design. Meta-analysis could not be applied to the four papers reviewed in the skin, but three suggested an association between eczema and non-melanoma skin cancer, while the remaining study failed to identify an association between melanoma and eczema. A single study meeting inclusion criteria showed no association between EoE and oesophageal malignancy. CONCLUSIONS The current data cannot exclude the possibility of an association between atopy and malignancy the lung, skin and oesophagus. The relationship between allergy and cancer should be explored further in prospective studies that any association identified between these conditions has the potential for significant public health implications.

Abstract
Objective: Although previous studies suggest that previous pulmonary tuberculosis was associated with increased risk of lung cancer. It remains controversial whether pulmonary tuberculosis is a risk factor for lung cancer. Our study was aimed to examine the association between pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer risk in Korean. Methods: The Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database was linked with the Korean National Cancer Incidence Database to examine the occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer. The linked databases were also merged with causes of death database of Statistics Korea. The Cox-proportional hazards model was used to estimates the hazard risk of lung cancer for Korean adults aged ≥40 years with pulmonary tuberculosis. Results: Of 20,252 total participants, 2,640 (13.0%) had old pulmonary tuberculosis (a medical history of pulmonary tuberculosis or radiologically inactive tuberculosis). After adjusting for all covariates, the hazard ratio of lung cancer among patients with old pulmonary tuberculosis was 3.24 (95% CI, 1.87‒5.62) compared to the control group. According to smoking status, the hazard ratios of lung cancer for never smokers, ex-smokers, and current smokers among participants with old pulmonary tuberculosis were 3.52 (95% CI, 1.17‒10.63), 2.16 (95% CI, 0.89‒5.24), and 3.71 (95% CI, 1.49‒9.22) compared to the control group, respectively. Conclusions: Korean adults with old pulmonary tuberculosis have a higher risk of lung cancer, compared to general population without pulmonary tuberculosis.

Abstract
Impaired lung function is often caused by cigarette smoking, making it challenging to disentangle its role in lung cancer susceptibility. Investigation of the shared genetic basis of these phenotypes in the UK Biobank and International Lung Cancer Consortium (29,266 cases, 56,450 controls) shows that lung cancer is genetically correlated with reduced forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1: rg = 0.098, p = 2.3 × 10-8) and the ratio of FEV1 to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC: rg = 0.137, p = 2.0 × 10-12). Mendelian randomization analyses demonstrate that reduced FEV1 increases squamous cell carcinoma risk (odds ratio (OR) = 1.51, 95% confidence intervals: 1.21-1.88), while reduced FEV1/FVC increases the risk of adenocarcinoma (OR = 1.17, 1.01-1.35) and lung cancer in never smokers (OR = 1.56, 1.05-2.30). These findings support a causal role of pulmonary impairment in lung cancer etiology. Integrative analyses reveal that pulmonary function instruments, including 73 novel variants, influence lung tissue gene expression and implicate immune-related pathways in mediating the observed effects on lung carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is induced by cigarette smoking and characterized by inflammation of airway tissue. Since smokers with COPD have a higher risk of developing lung cancer than those without, we hypothesized that they carry more mutations in affected tissue. We called somatic mutations in airway brush samples from medium-coverage whole genome sequencing data from healthy never and ex-smokers (n = 8), as well as from ex-smokers with variable degrees of COPD (n = 4). Owing to the limited concordance of resulting calls between the applied tools we built a consensus, a strategy that was validated with high accuracy for cancer data. However, consensus calls showed little promise of representing true positives due to low mappability of corresponding sequence reads and high overlap with positions harbouring known genetic polymorphisms. A targeted re-sequencing approach suggested that only few mutations would survive stringent verification testing and that our data did not allow the inference of any difference in the mutational load of bronchial brush samples between former smoking COPD cases and controls. High polyclonality in airway brush samples renders medium-depth sequencing insufficient to provide the resolution to detect somatic mutations. Deep sequencing data of airway biopsies are needed to tackle the question.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to describe chronic lung disease in HIV-infected never-smokers by looking at clinical, structural and functional abnormalities. METHODS This comparative cross-sectional study included 159 HIV-infected never-smoking patients [mean (± standard deviation) age 54.6 ± 9.1 years; 13.2% female; 98.1% with undetectable viral load] and 75 nonmatched never-smoking controls [mean (± standard deviation) age 52.6 ± 6.9 years; 46.7% female]. We examined calcium scoring computer tomography (CT) scans or chest CT scans, all with a lung-dedicated algorithm reconstruction, to assess emphysema and airway disease (respiratory bronchiolitis and/or bronchial wall thickening), tested pulmonary function using spirometry, lung volumes and the diffusion lung capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO), and assessed respiratory symptoms using the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Assessment Test (CAT). RESULTS Twenty-five (17.2%) of the HIV-infected patients versus two (2.7%) of the controls had a CAT score > 10. Only 5% of the HIV-infected patients showed FEV1% < 80%, and 25% had DLCO < 75% of the predicted value. Based on the CT scans, they had increased prevalences, compared with the controls, of airway disease (37% versus 7.9%, respectively) and emphysema (18% versus 4%, respectively), with more severe and more frequent centrilobular disease. After correction for age, sex and clinical factors, HIV infection was significantly associated with CAT > 10 [odds ratio (OR) 7.7], emphysema (OR 4), airway disease (OR 4.5) and DLCO < 75% of predicted (OR 4). CONCLUSIONS Although comparisons were limited by the different enrolment methods used for HIV-infected patients and controls, the results suggest that never-smoking HIV-infected patients may present with chronic lung damage characterized by CT evidence of airway disease. A minority of them showed respiratory symptoms, without significant functional abnormalities.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common cancer type worldwide, and investigating novel therapeutics methods for the treatment of chemoresistant lung cancer are of notable clinical significance. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting assays were performed to analyze the expression levels of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and microRNA-4328 (miR-4328), and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell migration assays were conducted to evaluate the proliferation and migration of A549 cells, respectively. Everolimus was observed to upregulate the expression of PTEN and inhibit the proliferation and migration of A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The knockdown of PTEN abolished the effects of everolimus on the proliferation and migration of A549 cells, and everolimus was demonstrated to upregulate PTEN, and inhibit the proliferation and migration of A549 cells via downregulating miR-4328. Collectively, the results of the present study indicate that everolimus inhibited the proliferation and migration of EGFR-resistant A549 lung cancer cells via regulating the miR-4328/PTEN signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the trends and the predictors of incident malignant cancer among patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. METHODS We identified a cohort of all patients with incident IBD in Quebec, Canada, from 1998 to 2015, using provincial administrative health-care databases [RAMQ and Med-Echo]. Annual incidence rates [IRs] of cancer were calculated using Poisson regression and were compared with those of the Quebec population using standardized incidence ratios [SIRs ]. Temporal trends in these rates were evaluated by fitting generalized linear models. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios [ORs] for predictors associated with cancer development. RESULTS The cohort included 35 985 patients with IBD, of which 2275 developed cancers over a mean follow-up of 8 years (IR 785.6 per 100 000 persons per year; 95% confidence interval [CI] 754.0-818.5). The rate of colorectal cancer decreased significantly from 1998 to 2015 [p < 0.05 for linear trend], but the incidence remained higher than expected, compared with the Quebec population [SIR 1.39; 95% CI 1.19-1.60]. Rates of extraintestinal cancers increased non-significantly over time [p = 0.11 for linear trend]. In the IBD cohort, chronic kidney disease [OR 1.29; 95% CI 1.17-1.43], respiratory diseases [OR 1.07; 95% CI 1.02-1.12], and diabetes mellitus [OR 1.06; 95% CI 1.01-1.11] were associated with an increase in the incidence of cancer. CONCLUSIONS The decreasing rates of colorectal cancer suggest improved management and care in IBD. Further studies are needed to explore the impact of comorbid conditions on the risk of cancer in IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some interstitial lung diseases are associated with lung cancer. However, it is unclear whether asymptomatic interstitial lung abnormalities convey an independent risk. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to assess whether interstitial lung abnormalities are associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. METHODS Data from all participants in the National Lung Cancer Trial were analyzed, except for subjects with preexisting interstitial lung disease or prevalent lung cancers. The primary analysis included those who underwent low-dose CT imaging; those undergoing chest radiography were included in a confirmatory analysis. Participants with evidence of reticular/reticulonodular opacities, honeycombing, fibrosis, or scarring were classified as having interstitial lung abnormalities. Lung cancer incidence and mortality in participants with and without interstitial lung abnormalities were compared by using Poisson and Cox regression, respectively. RESULTS Of the 25,041 participants undergoing low-dose CT imaging included in the primary analysis, 20.2% had interstitial lung abnormalities. Participants with interstitial lung abnormalities had a higher incidence of lung cancer (incidence rate ratio, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.30-1.99). Interstitial lung abnormalities were associated with higher lung cancer incidence on adjusted analyses (incidence rate ratio, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.07-1.65). Lung cancer-specific mortality was also greater in participants with interstitial lung abnormalities. Similar findings were obtained in the analysis of participants undergoing chest radiography. CONCLUSIONS Asymptomatic interstitial lung abnormalities are an independent risk factor for lung cancer that can be incorporated into risk score models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allergies and asthma, conditions commonly characterized by immunoglobulin E-mediated atopic reactions, may decrease cancer risk via increases in immunosurveillance, but may increase risk due to persistent immune stimulation. Associations between allergies and asthma and cancer risk remain unclear, and it is unknown whether associations vary by race/ethnicity. METHODS We evaluated these associations in the Southern Community Cohort Study. At baseline (2002-2009), 64,170 participants were queried on history of allergies and asthma; participants were followed through 2011, during which time 3,628 incident, invasive cancers were identified, including 667 lung cancers, 539 breast cancers, and 529 prostate cancers. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate multivariable-adjusted HRs and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS Neither allergies nor asthma was associated with risk of developing invasive cancer overall. Asthma was associated with increased lung cancer risk (HR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.00-1.57), with no variation by race/ethnicity (P interaction = 0.84). Conversely, history of allergies was associated with decreased lung cancer risk (HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.65-1.00), with an inverse association observed among non-Hispanic whites (HR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.45-0.94) but not non-Hispanic blacks (HR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.73-1.25; P interaction = 0.10). No statistically significant associations were observed for risk of breast or prostate cancers, overall or by race/ethnicity. CONCLUSIONS No associations were observed for risk of overall cancer, breast cancer, or prostate cancer. While asthma was associated with increased lung cancer risk, history of allergies was associated with decreased risk, an association driven by an inverse association among non-Hispanic whites. IMPACT Associations pertaining to lung cancer merit follow up in a large, diverse study.

Abstract
The present work aim to develop pH responsive nanosystem comprising lumefantrine with calcium phosphate nanoparticles loaded lipidic cubosomes for the effective treatment of lung cancer. FTIR results showed that, compatibility nature of selected excipients for the synthesis of LF-CaP-Cs. The XRD results showed developed LF-CaP-Cs were non crystalline in nature. The selected developed LF-CaP-Cs were in cubic phase with average particle size of 259.4 ± 19 nm with a charge of -2.28 ± 0.7 mV. The encapsulation efficiency for LF within LF-CaP-Cs was about 78.76 ± 0.5%. RP-HPLC analysis showed that LF release rate gets significantly enhanced with higher peak area at pH 4.0 compared to pH 5.0/pH 7.4. The in-vitro release of LF-CaP-Cs showed that LF release gets significantly increased at pH 4.0 (84.04 ± 0.4%) compared to pH 7.4 (48.32 ± 1.6%) at 12 h. Further, CAM assay showed the superior anti-angiogenesis potential of developed LF-CaP-Cs compared to LF-Cs/blank Cs. The cytotoxicity effect of LF-CaP-Cs (28 ± 1.8 μg/mL) was significantly higher than that of free LF (40 ± 0.9 μg/mL). The results of cellular uptake study proved the localization of LF at cellular level and AO/EB staining results revealed that the A549 cell undergoes apoptosis in A549 cells.

Abstract
Background Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer in developed countries but the etiology of lung cancer risk in never smokers (LCRINS) is largely unknown. We aim to assess the effects of alcohol consumption, in its different forms, on LCRINS. Methods We pooled six multi-center case-control studies developed in the northwest of Spain. Cases and controls groups were composed of never smokers. We selected incident cases with anatomopathologically confirmed lung cancer diagnoses. All participants were personally interviewed. We performed two groups of statistical models, applying unconditional logistic regression with generalized additive models. One considered the effect of alcohol type consumption and the other considered the quantity of each alcoholic beverage consumed. Results A total of 438 cases and 863 controls were included. Median age was 71 and 66, years, respectively. Adenocarcinoma was the predominant histological type, comprising 66% of all cases. We found that any type of wine consumption posed an OR of 2.20 OR 95%CI 1.12-4.35), and spirits consumption had an OR of 1.90 (95%CI 1.13-3.23). Beer consumption had an OR of 1.33 (95%CI 0.82-2.14). These results were similar when women were analyzed separately, but for men there was no apparent risk for any alcoholic beverage. The dose-response analysis for each alcoholic beverage revealed no clear pattern. Conclusions Wine and spirits consumption might increase the risk of LCRINSs, particularly in females. These results have to be taken with caution given the limitations of the present study.
