Biomarkers in the accurate subclassification of non-small-cell lung carcinoma for targeted therapy: issues and prospects

miR-325 Supresses Cell Proliferation and Migration in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer via Targeting DNA Ligase 1 (LIG1)

DNA ligase 1 (LIG1) plays a key role in DNA synthesis and DNA damage repair pathways. LIG1 has been shown to be up-regulated in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, its role and molecular regulatory mechanism in NSCLC cell proliferation are still not fully understand. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of LIG1 and post-transcripional regulators in NSCLC. Utilizing bioinformatic tools and qRT-PCR, our investigation substantiated the up-regulation of LIG1 within NSCLC cell lines and tumour tissues. Remarkably, individuals exhibiting elevated levels of LIG1 had diminished survival rates. Functionally, the depletion of LIG1 inhibited cell proliferation and migration, contrasting with the increased proliferation and migration upon LIG1 over-expression. Prediction from the TargetScanHuman database and results of dual luciferase reporter assays indicated that miR-325 could directly bind to and negatively regulate LIG1. Moreover, our findings demonstrated that the mimicry of miR-325 decreased cell viability, whereas its inhibition correspondingly increased viability, indicative of the tumour-suppressive role of miR-325 through the down-regulation of LIG1. Collectively, our findings show that LIG1 could promote tumour progression and knockdown of LIG1 could exert suppressive effects on NSCLC. As the post-transcriptional factor of LIG1, miR-325 could negatively regulate the expression of LIG1 to inhibit tumour progression in vitro. These findings suggest that LIG1 and miR-325 might be potential therapeutic targets for NSCLC treatment.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Medical System Based on Notch1 Signaling Pathway to Inhibit the Growth of Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma

With the gradual application of big data and other technologies to the medical field, more and more people tend to get online medical services. This article mainly studies the comprehensive diagnostic medical system based on Notch1 signaling pathway to inhibit the growth of small-cell lung carcinoma. In the experiment, we used the rapid thawing method to recover the cells and took the logarithmic growth phase cells for cell passage. We calculated the cell concentration and diluted the cells according to the experimental requirements. According to the standard curve, the corresponding sample protein concentration was calculated; at the same time, the Trizol method was used to extract the total RNA, the NanoDrop8000 spectrophotometer was used to determine the RNA concentration, and the RNA quality was detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. We used immunohistochemical staining to complete the staining of lung cancer cells. Finally, black box testing was used to test the functional modules of the system. Experimental data show that the accuracy rate of data obtained by the system reaches 98%, which greatly facilitates doctors and patients. The results show that the system has good ease of use and reliability and improves the diagnosis and treatment of hospital patients.
