RESUMO
The EphA family belongs to a large group of membrane receptor tyrosine kinases. Emerging evidence indicates that the EphA family participates in tumour occurrence and progression. Nonetheless, the expression patterns and prognostic values of the nine EphAs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have rarely been studied before. In the current study, we comprehensively analysed the expression and prognostic role of EphA family members by different means. The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis databases were used to investigate the expression of EphAs in NSCLC. The cBioPortal database was applied to analyse the prognostic values and genetic mutations of EphAs.We discovered that the expression of EphA10 was significantly higher in NSCLC tissues than in adjacent noncancerous tissues, and survival analyses showed that a higher level of EphA10 predicted poor prognosis. Further exploration into the role of EphA10 by ESTIMATE, CIBERSORT, and ssGSEA analysis found that it was also related to immune infiltration and higher expression of targets of ICI targets. In conclusion, this study revealed that among the EphA family members, EphA10 played an oncogenic role and was a promising biomarker for poor prognosis and better immunotherapy response in NSCLC.

BACKGROUND: The RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification has become an essential hotspot in epigenetic modulation. Serine-arginine protein kinase 1 (SRPK1) is associated with the pathogenesis of various cancers. However, the m6A modification of SRPK1 and its association with the mechanism of in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unclear. METHODS: Western blotting and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses were carried out to identify gene and protein expression. m6A epitranscriptomic microarray was utilized to the assess m6A profile. Loss and gain-of-function assays were carried out elucidate the impact of METTL3 and SRPK1 on LUAD glycolysis and tumorigenesis. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), m6A RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP), and RNA stability tests were employed to elucidate the SRPK1's METTL3-mediated m6A modification mechanism in LUAD. Metabolic quantification and co-immunoprecipitation assays were applied to investigate the molecular mechanism by which SRPK1 mediates LUAD metabolism. RESULTS: The epitranscriptomic microarray assay revealed that SRPK1 could be hypermethylated and upregulated in LUAD. The main transmethylase METTL3 was upregulated and induced the aberrant high m6A levels of SRPK1. Mechanistically, SRPK1's m6A sites were directly methylated by METTL3, which also stabilized SRPK1 in an IGF2BP2-dependent manner. Methylated SRPK1 subsequently promoted LUAD progression through enhancing glycolysis. Further metabolic quantification, co-immunoprecipitation and western blot assays revealed that SRPK1 interacts with hnRNPA1, an important modulator of PKM splicing, and thus facilitates glycolysis by upregulating PKM2 in LUAD. Nevertheless, METTL3 inhibitor STM2457 can reverse the above effects in vitro and in vivo by suppressing SRPK1 and glycolysis in LUAD. CONCLUSION: It was revealed that in LUAD, aberrantly expressed METTL3 upregulated SRPK1 levels via an m6A-IGF2BP2-dependent mechanism. METTL3-induced SRPK1 fostered LUAD cell proliferation by enhancing glycolysis, and the small-molecule inhibitor STM2457 of METTL3 could be an alternative novel therapeutic strategy for individuals with LUAD.

In this article, the novel adaptive neural networks (NNs) tracking control scheme is presented for nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE)-ordinary differential equation (ODE) coupled systems subject to deception attacks. Because of the special infinite-dimensional characteristics of PDE subsystem and the strong coupling of PDE-ODE systems, it is more difficult to achieve the tracking control for coupled systems than single ODE system under the circumstance of deception attacks, which result in the states and outputs of both PDE and ODE subsystems unavailable by injecting false information into sensors and actuators. For efficient design of the controllers to realize the tracking performance, a new coordinate transformation is developed under the backstepping method, and the PDE subsystem is transformed into a new form. In addition, the effect of the unknown control gains and the uncertain nonlinearities caused by attacks are alleviated by introducing the Nussbaum technology and NNs. The proposed tracking control scheme can guarantee that all signals in the coupled systems are bounded and the good tracking performance can be achieved, despite both sensors and actuators of the studied systems suffering from attacks. Finally, a simulation example is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
RESUMO
The construction of novel structured Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) by chemical etching has attracted the most attention to PBA derivatives with outstanding performance. In this work, the unprecedented PBA orthogonal frustums are first prepared from nanocubes through a selective chemical etching approach using trisodium citrate as an etchant. The citrate ions can chelate with nickel species from the edges/corners of NiCo-PBA nanocubes and then disintegrate NiCo-PBAs resulting in the generation of NiCo-PBA orthogonal frustums. The derived CoNi2S4/Co0.91S composites still inherit the original orthogonal frustum structure and possess outstanding supercapacitor performance. This study develops a popularized method to construct novel structured PBAs and brings inspiration for designing PBA-based electrodes with advanced electrochemical performance.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 80-85% of all lung cancer and is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Although various treatment strategies have been introduced, the 5-year survival rate of patients with NSCLC is only 20-30%. Thus, it remains necessary to study the pathogenesis of NSCLC and develop new therapeutic drugs. Notably, PYK2 has been implicated in the progression of many tumors, including NSCLC, but its detailed mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the mechanisms through which PYK2 promotes NSCLC progression. METHODS: The mRNA and protein levels of various molecules were measured using qRT-PCR, western blot (WB), and immunohistochemistry (IHC), respectively. We established stable PYK2 knockdown and overexpression cell lines, and CCK-8, EdU, and clonogenic assays; wound healing, transwell migration, and Matrigel invasion assays; and flow cytometry were employed to assess the phenotypes of tumor cells. Protein interactions were evaluated with co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP), immunofluorescence (IF)-based colocalization, and nucleocytoplasmic separation assays. RNA sequencing was performed to explore the transcriptional regulation mediated by PYK2. Secreted VGF levels were examined using ELISA. Dual-luciferase reporter system was used to detect transcriptional regulation site. PF4618433 (PYK2 inhibitor) and Stattic (STAT3 inhibitor) were used for rescue experiments. A public database was mined to analyze the effect of these molecules on NSCLC prognosis. To investigate the role of PYK2 in vivo, mouse xenograft models of lung carcinoma were established and examined. RESULTS: The protein level of PYK2 was higher in human NSCLC tumors than in the adjacent normal tissue, and higher PYK2 expression was associated with poorer prognosis. PYK2 knockdown inhibited the proliferation and motility of tumor cells and caused G1-S arrest and cyclinD1 downregulation in A549 and H460 cells. Meanwhile, PYK2 overexpression had the opposite effect in H1299 cells. The siRNA-induced inhibition of integrins alpha V and beta 1 led to the downregulation of p-PYK2(Tyr402). Activated PYK2 could bind to STAT3 and enhance its phosphorylation at Tyr705, regulating the nuclear accumulation of p-STAT3(Tyr705). This further promoted the expression of VGF, as confirmed by RNA sequencing in a PYK2-overexpressing H1299 cell line and validated by rescue experiments. Two sites in promoter region of VGF gene were confirmed as binding sites of STAT3 by Dual-luciferase assay. Data from the TGCA database showed that VGF was related to the poor prognosis of NSCLC. IHC revealed higher p-PYK2(Tyr402) and VGF expression in lung tumors than in adjacent normal tissues. Moreover, both proteins showed higher levels in advanced TNM stages than earlier ones. A positive linear correlation existed between the IHC score of p-PYK2(Tyr402) and VGF. Knockdown of VGF inhibited tumor progression and reversed the tumor promoting effect of PYK2 overexpression in NSCLC cells. Finally, the mouse model exhibited enhanced tumor growth when PYK2 was overexpressed, while the inhibitors PF4618433 and Stattic could attenuate this effect. CONCLUSIONS: The Integrin αVß1-PYK2-STAT3-VGF axis promotes NSCLC development, and the PYK2 inhibitor PF4618433 and STAT3 inhibitor Stattic can reverse the pro-tumorigenic effect of high PYK2 expression in mouse models. Our findings provide insights into NSCLC progression and could guide potential therapeutic strategies against NSCLC with high PYK2 expression levels.

A scalable, reusable, and broad-coverage unified material knowledge representation shows its importance and will bring great benefits to data sharing among materials communities. A knowledge graph (KG) for materials terminology, which is a formal collection of term entities and relationships, is conceptually important to achieve this goal. In this work, we propose a KG for materials terminology, named Materials Genome Engineering Database Knowledge Graph (MGED-KG), which is automatically constructed from text corpus via natural language processing. MGED-KG is the most comprehensive KG for materials terminology in both Chinese and English languages, consisting of 8,660 terms and their explanations. It encompasses 11 principal categories, such as Metals, Composites, Nanomaterials, each with two or three levels of subcategories, resulting in a total of 235 distinct category labels. For further application, a knowledge web system based on MGED-KG is developed and shows its great power in improving data sharing efficiency from the aspects of query expansion, term, and data recommendation.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer has been considered as a serious problem for the public health system. NSCLC is the main type of lung cancer, and finding improved treatments for NSCLC is a pressing concern. In this study, we have explored the efficacy of isotoosendanin (ITSN) for the treatment of NSCLC, and also explored the potential underlying mechanisms. METHODS: NSCLC cells were cultured, and colony formation, cell cycle as well as apoptosis assays have been conducted for investigating the biological functions of ITSN on NSCLC cells. Furthermore, target genes of ITSN have been predicted via PharmMapper and SuperPred database, subsequently validated using the drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) approach, a cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) as well as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis. Additionally, ubiquitination experiments have been conducted for the level of ubiquitination of the NSCLC cells. Finally, a nude mouse xenograft model has been established for evaluating the anti-tumor effects of ITSN in vivo. RESULTS: ITSN has shown anti-NSCLC activities both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, ITSN interacts with SHP-2 through enhancing its stability and decreases the level of ubiquitination. Notably, ITSN may regulate the behaviors of NSCLC cells via affecting the JAK/STAT3 signaling, and finally, the anti-tumor effects of ITSN was partially reversed by the application of SHP-2 inhibitor or siRNA of SHP-2. CONCLUSIONS: ITSN may exert its anti-tumor effects by directly targeting SHP-2, increasing its stability and minimizing its ubiquitination. These results imply that ITSN could be a revolutionary component for treating NSCLC.

The gearbox is a critical component of electromechanical systems. The occurrence of multiple faults can significantly impact system accuracy and service life. The vibration signal of the gearbox is an effective indicator of its operational status and fault information. However, gearboxes in real industrial settings often operate under variable working conditions, such as varying speeds and loads. It is a significant and challenging research area to complete the gearbox fault diagnosis procedure under varying operating conditions using vibration signals. This data article presents vibration datasets collected from a gearbox exhibiting various fault degrees of severity and fault types, operating under diverse speed and load conditions. These faults are manually implanted into the gears or bearings through precise machining processes, which include health, missing teeth, wear, pitting, root cracks, and broken teeth. Several kinds of actual compound faults are also encompassed. The development of these datasets facilitates testing the effectiveness and reliability of newly developed fault diagnosis methods.
RESUMO
A pinning-based self-regulation intermediate event-triggered (ET) funnel tracking control strategy is proposed for uncertain nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs). Based on the backstepping framework, a pinning control strategy is designed to achieve the tracking control objective, which only uses the communication weight between the agents without additional feedback parameters. Moreover, by designing a self-regulation triggered condition based on the tracking error, the intermediate triggered signal is calculated to replace the continuous signal in the controller, so as to achieve the goal of discontinuous update of the controller signal, and this mechanism does not need to add additional compensation function to the controller signal. At the same time, the funnel method is adopted to restrict the error of step n and avoid the possible negative impact caused by control signal. Furthermore, the nonlinear noncontinuous faults are compensated by the disturbance observer. Then, the Lyapunov stability theorem is used to prove that all signals of the closed-loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB). Finally, some simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
RESUMO
The corn starch nanoparticles were prepared by incorporating three kinds of polyphenols, including quercetin, proanthocyanidins and tannin acid. The physicochemical and digestive properties of corn starch nanoparticles were researched. The quercetin showed a higher complexation index than proanthocyanidins and tannin acid when they complexed with corn starch. The mean size of corn starch quercetin, proanthocyanidins and tannin acid were 168.5 nm, 179.1 nm and 188.6 nm, respectively. XRD results indicated that all the corn starch-polyphenols complex showed V-type crystalline structure, the crystallinity of corn starch-quercetin complex was 19.31 %, which showed more formation of amylose-quercetin single helical formed than the other two starch-polyphenol complexes. In vitro digestion revealed that polyphenols could resist digestion and quercetin increased the content of resistant starch from 23.32 % to 35.24 % and polyphenols can form complexes with starch through hydrophobic interactions or hydrogen bonding. This study indicated the hydrophobic polyphenols had a more significant effect on the digestibility of corn starch. And the cell toxicity assessments demonstrated that all nanoparticles were nontoxic and biocompatible.

Real-time safety assessment (RTSA) of dynamic systems holds substantial implications across diverse fields, including industrial and electronic applications. However, the complexity and rapid flow nature of data streams, coupled with the expensive label cost and pose significant challenges. To address these issues, a novel confusion-based learning framework, termed confusion-and-detection method plus (CADM + ), is proposed in this article. When drift occurs, the model is updated with uncertain samples, which may cause confusion between existing and new concepts, resulting in performance differences. The cosine similarity is used to measure the degree of such conceptual confusion in the model. Furthermore, the change of standard deviation within a fixed-size cosine similarity window is introduced as an indicator for drift detection. Theoretical demonstrations show the asymptotic increase of cosine similarity. In addition, the approximate independence of the change in standard deviation with the number of trained samples is indicated. Finally, the extreme value theory (EVT) is applied to determine the threshold of judging drifts. Several experiments are conducted to verify its effectiveness. Experimental results prove that the proposed framework is more suitable for RTSA tasks compared with state-of-the-art algorithms. The source code is available at https://github.com/THUFDD/CADM-plus.
RESUMO
Background: Acute lung injury (ALI)/severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious clinical syndrome characterized by a high mortality rate. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying ALI/ARDS remain incompletely understood. Considering the crucial role of immune infiltration and macrophage polarization in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS, this study aims to identify key genes associated with both ALI/ARDS and M1 macrophage polarization, employing a combination of bioinformatics and experimental approaches. The findings could potentially reveal novel biomarkers for the diagnosis and management of ALI/ARDS. Methods: Gene expression profiles relevant to ALI were retrieved from the GEO database to identify co-upregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs). GO and KEGG analyses facilitated functional annotation and pathway elucidation. PPI networks were constructed to identify hub genes, and differences in immune cell infiltration were subsequently examined. The expression of hub genes in M1 versus M2 macrophages was evaluated using macrophage polarization datasets. The diagnostic utility of CD274 (PD-L1) for ARDS was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis in a validation dataset. Experimental confirmation was conducted using two LPS-induced M1 macrophage models and an ALI mouse model. The role of CD274 (PD-L1) in M1 macrophage polarization and associated proinflammatory cytokine production was further investigated by siRNA-mediated silencing. Results: A total of 99 co-upregulated DEGs were identified in two ALI-linked datasets. Enrichment analysis revealed that these DEGs were mainly involved in immune-inflammatory pathways. The following top 10 hub genes were identified from the PPI network: IL-6, IL-1ß, CXCL10, CD274, CCL2, TLR2, CXCL1, CCL3, IFIT1, and IFIT3. Immune infiltration analysis revealed a significantly increased abundance of M1 and M2 macrophages in lung tissue from the ALI group compared to the control group. Subsequent analysis confirmed that CD274 (PD-L1), a key immunological checkpoint molecule, was highly expressed within M1 macrophages. ROC analysis validated CD274 (PD-L1) as a promising biomarker for the diagnosis of ARDS. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments supported the bioinformatics analysis and confirmed that the JAK-STAT3 pathway promotes CD274 (PD-L1) expression on M1 macrophages. Importantly, knockdown of CD274 (PD-L1) expression potentiated M1 macrophage polarization and enhanced proinflammatory cytokines production. Conclusion: This study demonstrates a significant correlation between CD274 (PD-L1) and M1 macrophages in ALI/ARDS. CD274 (PD-L1) functions as a negative regulator of M1 polarization and the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in macrophages. These findings suggest potential new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of ALI/ARDS.

Rab27A is a small GTPase-mediating exosome secretion, which participates in tumorigenesis of multiple cancer types. Understanding the biological role of Rab27A in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is of great importance for oncological research and clinical treatment. In this study, we investigate the function and internal mechanism of Rab27A in NSCLC. Results show that Rab27A is overexpressed in NSCLC, and regulates the tumor proliferation, migration, invasion, and cell motility in vitro and in vivo, and is negatively regulated by miR-124. Further research reveals that upregulated Rab27A can induce the production of IFNα in the medium by mediating exosome secretion. Then IFNα activates TYK2/STAT/HSPA5 signaling to promote NSCLC cell proliferation and metastasis. This process can be suppressed by TYK2 inhibitor Cerdulatinib. These results suggest that Rab27A is involved in the pathogenesis of NSCLC by regulating exosome secretion and downstream signaling, and inhibitors targeting this axis may become a promising strategy in future clinical practice.
RESUMO
Monitoring the temperature to determine the fire source locations is essential for controlling the spontaneous combustion in the goaf. Optical fiber sensors are employed to measure the temperature distribution in the goaf. However, due to changes in the geological conditions and the influence of the falling rocks in the goaf, only sensors on the upper side of the uncompacted goaf, due to inclination and coal pillar, may remain. Unilateral sensors are located on the upper side of the goaf, while fire occurs in the center. To investigate the issue with linear unilateral sensors, a two-dimensional inverse method has been developed to determine the location of fire sources by considering heat transfer after a fire inside the goaf. The equations were theoretically solved using Green's function method to obtain the internal temperature distribution of the physical model of the goaf. Sensitivity analysis identified the most crucial parameters in the process of spontaneous heating at different temperature. The fire source location can be determined using a loop method based on the model calculations. We considered a case to validate the model. Accurately identifying the fire source location in the goaf using the unilateral sensors has an essential theoretical and practical significance for fire prevention and fighting.

Construction of Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) with heterostructure is beneficial to preparing PBAs derivatives with superior electrochemical performance. In this work, the core-shell nanostructured nanocubes composed of nickel hexacyanocobalt PBA (NiCo-PBA)@cobalt carbonate hydroxide (CCH) are synthesized through an in-situ epitaxial growth strategy, and the formation mechanisms of coating are carefully validated and specifically discussed. Then, the precursors are successfully transformed into hierarchical CoNi2S4/Co9S8@Co4S3 via the gas-phase vulcanization method. Benefiting from the intriguing heterostructure and multicomponent sulfides, the CoNi2S4/Co9S8@Co4S3-80 electrode exhibits a high specific capacity of 799 ± 16C/g (specific capacitance of 1595 ± 31F/g) at 1 A/g, ultra-high capacity retention of 80 % at a high current density of 20 A/g. The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device delivers a high energy density of 43.3 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 899 W kg-1 and exhibits superior cycling stability with the capacity retention of 88 % after 5,000 cycles. Subsequently, the fabricated all-solid-state ASC device shows an excellent energy density of 36.4 Wh kg-1 with a power density of 824 W kg-1. This work proposing rational design of combining multicomponent sulfides and core-shell heterostructure based on PBA nanocubes opens up a novel route for developing asymmetric supercapacitor electrode materials with superior performance.
RESUMO
We report a zero-dimensional (0D) lead-free chiral perovskite (S-/R-MBA)4Bi2I10 with a high degree of circularly polarized light (CPL) emission. Our 0D lead-free chiral perovskite exhibits an average degree of circular polarization (DOCP) of 19.8% at 78 K under linearly polarized laser excitation, and the maximum DOCP can reach 25.8%, which is 40 times higher than the highest DOCP of 0.5% in all reported lead-free chiral perovskites to the best of our knowledge. The high DOCP of (S-/R-MBA)4Bi2I10 is attributed to the free exciton emission with a Huang-Rhys factor of 2.8. In contrast, all the lead-free chiral perovskites in prior reports are dominant by self-trapped exciton in which the spin relaxation reduces DOCP dramatically. Moreover, we realize the manipulation of the valley degree of freedom of monolayer WSe2 by using the spin injection of the 0D chiral lead-free perovskites. Our results provide a new perspective to develop lead-free chiral perovskite devices for CPL light source, spintronics, and valleytronics.
RESUMO
The design of real-time safety assessment (RTSA) approaches in nonstationary environments is meaningful to reduce the possibility of significant losses. However, several challenging problems are needed to be well considered. The performance of existing approaches will be negatively affected in the settings of imbalanced drifting streams. In this case, the model design with the incremental update should also be explored. Furthermore, the query strategy should also be well-designed. This article investigates a dynamic submodular-based learning strategy to address such issues. Specifically, an efficient incremental update procedure is designed with the structure of the broad learning system (BLS), which is beneficial to the detection of concept drift. Furthermore, a novel dynamic submodular-based annotation with an activation interval strategy is proposed to select valuable samples in imbalanced drifting streams. The lower bound of annotation value is also proven theoretically with a novel drift adaption mechanism. Numerous experiments are conducted with the realistic data of JiaoLong deep-sea manned submersible. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can achieve better assessment accuracy than typical existing approaches.
RESUMO
Chunk-level real-time safety assessment of dynamic systems is a critical component of industrial processes, which is essential to prevent hazards and reduce the risk of injury or damage to equipment and facilities, especially in nonstationary environments. In this context, multiple real and complex concept drifts are inevitable in industrial settings, making it crucial to understand their detection and adaptation processes. The incremental learning scheme should also be well considered. However, existing methods have certain limitations in dealing with such issues. In this article, a dynamic model interpretation-guided online active learning scheme, termed a dynamic model interpretation-guided learning scheme (DMI-LS), is proposed. Specifically, the model update strategy with chunk data is designed based on the implementation of the broad learning system. A novel query strategy is then investigated to consider the ranking preference difference, which relies on the interpretation generated by the explainable artificial intelligence method. Several experiments based on the JiaoLong deep-sea manned submersible data are conducted to verify the effects of the proposed DMI-LS. The results show that it outperforms the other advanced existing approaches with different settings in most scenarios.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests the critical roles of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification in tumorigenesis and tumor progression. However, the role of m6A in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still unclear. This study aimed to explore the role of the m6A demethylase fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) in the tumor metastasis of NSCLC. METHODS: A human m6A epitranscriptomic microarray analysis was used to identify downstream targets of FTO. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRTâPCR) and western blotting were employed to evaluate the expression levels of FTO and FAP in NSCLC cell lines and tissues. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function assays were conducted in vivo and in vitro to assess the effects of FTO and FAP on NSCLC metastasis. M6A-RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP), RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), luciferase reporter assays, and RNA stability assays were used to explore the mechanism of FTO action. Co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) assays were used to determine the mechanism of FAP in NSCLC metastasis. RESULTS: FTO was upregulated and predicted poor prognosis in patients with NSCLC. FTO promoted cell migration and invasion in NSCLC, and the FAK inhibitor defactinib (VS6063) suppressed NSCLC metastasis induced by overexpression of FTO. Mechanistically, FTO facilitated NSCLC metastasis by modifying the m6A level of FAP in a YTHDF2-dependent manner. Moreover, FTO-mediated metastasis formation depended on the interactions between FAP and integrin family members, which further activated the FAK signaling. CONCLUSION: Our current findings provided valuable insights into the role of FTO-mediated m6A demethylation modification in NSCLC metastasis. FTO was identified as a contributor to NSCLC metastasis through the activation of the FAP/integrin/FAK signaling, which may be a potential therapeutic target for NSCLC. Video Abstract.
