C8-HSL Promotes Lung Cancer via PI3K/AKT/ERK
2026-09-12
A 2026 FASEB Journal study identifies the bacterial quorum-sensing molecule C8-HSL as a host–microbe signal that enhances lung cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Using H460 cells and an in vivo model, the authors connect these phenotypes to PI3K/AKT/ERK activation and define associated cell-cycle and invasion markers, while leaving important questions about clinical exposure and microbiome context unresolved.
