BACKGROUND: Survivors of head and neck cancer (HNC) often develop second primary lung cancer (SPLC), due to a common risk factor, that is, smoking. Our multicenter experience has been reviewed to evaluate how the history of diagnosis of HNC affects the outcomes of patients undergoing pulmonary resection for SPLC. METHODS: A multicenter retrospective analysis of patients hospitalized between January 2012 and December 2018 has been performed. From a cohort of 4,521 patients undergoing therapeutic pulmonary resection for primary non-small cell lung cancer, 100 patients with previous history of HNC (HNC group) have been identified. They were compared with a control group consisting of 200 patients without HNC history from the same cohort pair-matched with operating facility, age, sex, and pathological stage of lung cancer. RESULTS: At the time of surgery for SPLC, the HNC group showed malnutrition with lower prognostic nutritional index (PNI) compared with the control group (p < 0.001). The HNC group were determined to have postoperative complications more frequently (p = 0.02). The 5-year overall survival rates in the HNC and control groups were 59.0% and 83.2%, respectively (p < 0.001). Statistically, HNC history, lower PNI, squamous cell lung cancer, and TNM stage were identified to be independently associated with poor survival. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with SPLC following primary HNC often present with malnutrition and are predisposed to have postoperative complications and poor survival after pulmonary resection.

Mechanisms underlying primary and acquired resistance to MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in managing non-small cell lung cancer remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the possible mechanisms acquired for crizotinib in MET-amplified lung carcinoma cell lines. Two MET-amplified lung cancer cell lines, EBC-1 and H1993, were established for acquired resistance to MET-TKI crizotinib and were functionally elucidated. Genomic and transcriptomic data were used to assess the factors contributing to the resistance mechanism, and the alterations hypothesized to confer resistance were validated. Multiple mechanisms underlie acquired resistance to crizotinib in MET-amplified lung cancer cell lines. In EBC-1-derived resistant cells, the overexpression of SERPINE1, the gene encoding plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), mediated the drug resistance mechanism. Crizotinib resistance was addressed by combination therapy with a PAI-1 inhibitor and PAI-1 knockdown. Another mechanism of resistance in different subline cells of EBC-1 was evaluated as epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition with the upregulation of antiapoptotic proteins. In H1993-derived resistant cells, MEK inhibitors could be a potential therapeutic strategy for overcoming resistance with downstream mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway activation. In this study, we revealed the different mechanisms of acquired resistance to the MET inhibitor crizotinib with potential therapeutic application in patients with MET-amplified lung carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Induction therapy followed by surgery is recommended as an alternative treatment strategy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients who achieve pathologic response after induction therapy have better outcomes than non-responders; therefore, therapeutic response must be evaluated. Recently, new approaches for monitoring therapeutic responses, which are based on 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), have been developed. In this study, we evaluated the predictive value of Positron Emission Tomography Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST), which uses standardized uptake values corrected for lean body mass (SUL) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG). METHODS: A total of 130 patients in the Setouchi Lung Cancer Group who underwent FDG-PET imaging before and after induction therapy prior to a planned surgical resection for NSCLC between 2007 and 2016 were studied retrospectively. The pathologic responses of the primary lung tumors and metastatic lymph nodes were compared with their responses based on evaluation using PERCIST. RESULTS: Postoperative pathologic studies revealed pathologic complete response (pCR) in 42 (32.3%) patients. PERCIST was significantly correlated with pathologic response (p < 0.001). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of PERCIST for predicting pCR were 16.7% (7/42), 88.6% (78/88), and 65.4% (85/130), respectively. Patients with pCR had significantly higher reduction rates in SULpeak for both primary lung tumors and metastatic lymph nodes and TLG for primary tumors than non-responders. In a multivariate Cox regression analysis, tumor site in upper lobes, reduction rate of TLG in primary tumor, and pathologic N0 were independent predictors of favorable recurrence-free survival (RFS). CONCLUSION: Our study suggested that PERCIST, especially the rate of TLG reduction rate, are useful to predict the pathological response and prognosis after induction therapy. Although improvement is necessary, PERCIST can be a promising method of the post-induction status in lung cancer. Further research is needed to confirm our findings.

PURPOSE: The current study was designed to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on general thoracic surgeries in Japan. METHODS: Changes in surgeries for lung cancer and metastatic lung tumors were evaluated based on National Clinical Database data regarding cancer screening. RESULTS: In 2021, surgeries for primary lung cancer increased by 3.4% compared to 2020, which, given the increase from 2014 to 2019, indicates an overall 11.1% decrease. In contrast, surgeries for metastatic lung tumors in 2021 decreased by 5.8% compared to 2020, which, given the increase from 2014 to 2020, indicates an overall 9.2% decrease. Half of the primary diseases for metastatic lung tumor were cases of colorectal cancer. Low anterior resection procedures in 2020 decreased by 5.5% compared to 2019. Lung and colon cancer screening examinees in 2021 were increased compared to 2020; however, they still showed respective decreases of 11% and 9.0% compared to 2019. CONCLUSIONS: Surgeries for primary lung cancer still decreased substantially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The continued stagnation of screening was responsible for this decrease. Surgeries for metastatic lung tumors decreased profoundly, and the decrease in screening for primary tumors was responsible for this reduction. Our findings emphasize the significance of maintaining cancer screening efforts, even during a pandemic.

INTRODUCTION: The association of changes in skeletal muscle mass and quality during the waiting time with outcomes of lung transplantation (LT) remains unclear. We aimed to examine the association of changes in skeletal muscle mass and quality during the waiting time, as well as preoperative skeletal muscle mass and quality, with outcomes of LT. METHODS: This study included individuals who underwent LT from brain-dead donors. Skeletal muscle mass (cm2 /m2 ) and quality (mean Hounsfield units [HU]) of the erector spinae muscle at the 12th thoracic level were evaluated using computed tomography. Preoperative skeletal muscle mass and quality, and their changes during the waiting time were calculated. We evaluated the associations among mechanical ventilation (MV) duration, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), hospital LOS, 6-minute walk distance at discharge, and 5-year survival after LT. RESULTS: This study included 98 patients. The median waiting time was 594.5 days (interquartile range [IQR], 355.0-913.0). The median changes in skeletal muscle mass and quality were -4.4% (IQR, -13.3-3.1) and -2.9% (IQR, -16.0-4.1), respectively. Severe low skeletal muscle mass at LT was associated with prolonged ICU LOS (B = 8.46, 95% confidence interval [CI]: .51-16.42) and hospital LOS (B = 36.00, 95% CI: 3.23-68.78). Pronounced decrease in skeletal muscle mass during the waiting time was associated with prolonged MV duration (B = 7.85, 95% CI: .89-14.81) and ICU LOS (B = 7.97, 95% CI: .83-15.10). CONCLUSION: Maintaining or increasing skeletal muscle mass during the waiting time would be beneficial to improve the short-term outcomes of LT.

The phase III IMPACT study (UMIN000044738) compared adjuvant gefitinib with cisplatin plus vinorelbine (cis/vin) in completely resected epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although the primary endpoint of disease-free survival (DFS) was not met, we searched for molecular predictors of adjuvant gefitinib efficacy. Of 234 patients enrolled in the IMPACT study, 202 patients were analyzed for 409 cancer-related gene mutations and tumor mutation burden using resected lung cancer specimens. Frequent somatic mutations included tumor protein p53 (TP53; 58.4%), CUB and Sushi multiple domains 3 (CSMD3; 11.8%), and NOTCH1 (9.9%). Multivariate analysis showed that NOTCH1 co-mutation was a significant poor prognostic factor for overall survival (OS) in the gefitinib group and cAMP response element binding protein (CREBBP) co-mutation for DFS and OS in the cis/vin group. In patients with NOTCH1 co-mutations, gefitinib group had a shorter OS than cis/vin group (Hazard ratio 5.49, 95% CI 1.07-28.00), with a significant interaction (P for interaction = 0.039). In patients with CREBBP co-mutations, the gefitinib group had a longer DFS than the cis/vin group, with a significant interaction (P for interaction = 0.058). In completely resected EGFR-mutated NSCLC, NOTCH1 and CREBBP mutations might predict poor outcome in patients treated with gefitinib and cis/vin, respectively.

Millions suffer from incurable lung diseases, and the donor lung shortage hampers organ transplants. Generating the whole organ in conjunction with the thymus is a significant milestone for organ transplantation because the thymus is the central organ to educate immune cells. Using lineage-tracing mice and human pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-derived lung-directed differentiation, we revealed that gastrulating Foxa2 lineage contributed to both lung mesenchyme and epithelium formation. Interestingly, Foxa2 lineage-derived cells in the lung mesenchyme progressively increased and occupied more than half of the mesenchyme niche, including endothelial cells, during lung development. Foxa2 promoter-driven, conditional Fgfr2 gene depletion caused the lung and thymus agenesis phenotype in mice. Wild-type donor mouse PSCs injected into their blastocysts rescued this phenotype by complementing the Fgfr2-defective niche in the lung epithelium and mesenchyme and thymic epithelium. Donor cell is shown to replace the entire lung epithelial and robust mesenchymal niche during lung development, efficiently complementing the nearly entire lung niche. Importantly, those mice survived until adulthood with normal lung function. These results suggest that our Foxa2 lineage-based model is unique for the progressive mobilization of donor cells into both epithelial and mesenchymal lung niches and thymus generation, which can provide critical insights into studying lung transplantation post-transplantation shortly.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

BACKGROUND: No proven treatment after the development of primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is currently available. Here we established a novel strategy of in vivo lung perfusion (IVLP) for the treatment of PGD. IVLP involves the application of an in vivo isolated perfusion circuit to an implanted lung. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of IVLP versus conventional post-lung transplant (LTx) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment using an experimental swine LTx PGD model. METHODS: After 1.5-h warm ischemia of the donor lungs, a left LTx was performed. Following the confirmation of PGD development, pigs were divided into three groups (n = 5 each): control (no intervention), ECMO, and IVLP. After 2 h of treatment, a 4-h functional assessment was conducted and samples obtained. RESULTS: Significantly better oxygenation were achieved in the IVLP group (p ≤ 0.001). Recovery was confirmed immediately and maintained during the following 4-h observation. The IVLP group also demonstrated better lung compliance than the control group (p = 0.045). A histological evaluation showed that the lung injury score and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay showed significantly fewer injuries and a better result in the wet-to-dry weight ratio in the IVLP group. CONCLUSIONS: A two-hour IVLP is technically feasible and allows for prompt recovery from PGD after LTx. The posttransplant short-duration IVLP strategy can complement or overcome the limitations of the current practice for donor assessment and PGD management.

Periostin secreted by cancer-associated fibroblasts promotes cancer progression and drug resistance in non-small cell lung cancer. Reviewed International journal

Journal of molecular medicine (Berlin, Germany) 2023.10

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are important components in the tumor microenvironment, and we sought to identify effective therapeutic targets in CAFs for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we established fibroblast cell lines from the cancerous and non-cancerous parts of surgical lung specimens from patients with NSCLC and evaluated the differences in behaviors towards NSCLC cells. RNA sequencing analysis was performed to investigate the differentially expressed genes between normal fibroblasts (NFs) and CAFs, and we identified that the expression of periostin (POSTN), which is known to be overexpressed in various solid tumors and promote cancer progression, was significantly higher in CAFs than in NFs. POSTN increased cell proliferation via NSCLC cells' ERK pathway activation and induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which improved migration in vitro. In addition, POSTN knockdown in CAFs suppressed these effects, and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the POSTN knockdown improved the sensitivity of EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells for osimertinib treatment. Collectively, our results showed that CAF-derived POSTN is involved in tumor growth, migration, EMT induction, and drug resistance in NSCLC. Targeting CAF-secreted POSTN could be a potential therapeutic strategy for NSCLC. KEY MESSAGES: • POSTN is significantly upregulated in CAFs compared to normal fibroblasts in NCSLC. • POSTN increases cell proliferation via activation of the NSCLC cells' ERK pathway. • POSTN induces EMT in NSCLC cells and improves the migration ability. • POSTN knockdown improves the sensitivity for osimertinib in EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells.

Mast cells are present in mucosal and connective tissues throughout the body. They synthesize and release a wide variety of bioactive molecules, such as histamine, proteases, and cytokines. In this study, we found that a population of connective tissue mast cells (CTMCs) stores and releases noradrenaline, originating from sympathetic nerves. Noradrenaline-storing cells, not neuronal fibers, were predominantly identified in the connective tissues of the skin, mammary gland, gastrointestinal tract, bronchus, thymus, and pancreas in wild-type mice but were absent in mast cell-deficient W-sash c-kit mutant KitW-sh/W-sh mice. In vitro studies using bone marrow-derived mast cells revealed that extracellular noradrenaline was taken up but not synthesized. Upon ionomycin stimulation, noradrenaline was released. Electron microscopy analyses further suggested that noradrenaline is stored in and released from the secretory granules of mast cells. Finally, we found that noradrenaline-storing CTMCs express organic cation transporter 3 (Oct3), which is also known as an extraneuronal monoamine transporter, SLC22A3. Our findings indicate that mast cells may play a role in regulating noradrenaline concentration by storing and releasing it in somatic tissues.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

The long-term survival after lung transplantation (LT) is favorable in Japan. However, long-term survivors after LT are subject to late complications, including chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), malignancy, infection, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) because of the need for lifelong immunosuppression. The rates of single cadaveric LT (CLT) and living-donor lobar LT (LDLLT) are higher than that of bilateral CLT in Japan. Here, we will describe the management of late complications and long-term outcome after LT in Japan. Attention should be paid to not only the phenotype of CLAD but also the difference in CLAD after CLT and after LDLLT as well as the timing of lung re-transplantation for advanced CLAD, especially after single CLT. Since post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder is the most common malignancy after LT, infection monitoring for infection-related malignancies and appropriate screening are keys to the early diagnosis and treatment of malignancy after LT. The long-term management of infection after LT is also important, especially with regard to community-acquired pathogens, Aspergillus, and cytomegalovirus. When providing long-term care after LT, physicians should be aware of CKD and the timing of renal replacement therapy in cases with severe CKD. The widespread use of computed tomography and dialysis in Japan are beneficial for long-term survivors of LT. The similar survival outcomes of single CLT and LDLLT, compared with bilateral CLT, might contribute to improved long-term survival in Japan. Pulmonologists are encouraged to become further involved in long-term management after LT in Japan.
