Myc-mediated epigenetic silencing of ACAP3 promotes lung adenocarcinoma proliferation via regulating EGFR dynamics

Background Despite significant advances in diagnosis and therapy, the prognosis of late-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains poor, underscoring the urgent need for effective biomarkers to enable early detection. Epigenetic alterations, particularly DNA methylation, is essential for controlling gene expression, and...

Ultrasonication-assisted green synthesis, in silico EGFR-binding analysis, and cytotoxic evaluation of nitro-perimidines for non-small cell lung cancer

Abstract Three nitro-substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-perimidine derivatives (ortho, meta-, and para-nitrophenyl) were synthesised via a novel, additive-free ultrasonication-assisted method with high yields (up to 90%). Their structures were validated experimentally and supported by DFT calculations, which also provided insight into the reaction...

Prolonged survival in EGFR exon 20 insertion mutant lung adenocarcinoma: case report of sequential osimertinib and furmonertinib with research trend analysis

BackgroundEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion (ex20ins)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is characterized by limited sensitivi 1 Introduction Over the past two decades, the identification of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations has profoundly transformed the treatment...

Disrupting CDK9 activity suppresses triple-negative breast cancer and is enhanced by EGFR Inhibition

AbstractPurpose CDK9, in complex with cyclin T1 or T2, is essential for mRNA transcription by enabling paused RNA polymerase II to proceed into elongation. Increasing evidence highlights CDK9’s involvement in transcriptional addiction in cancer. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an...
