BACKGROUND:
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the predominant subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Damage-specific DNA binding protein 1 (DDB1), as a core protein of the CUL4-DDB1 ubiquitin ligase complex, is involved in the regulation of DNA damage repair, epigenetic modification, and cell cycle checkpoint activation. While the involvement of DDB1 in tumour progression through DNA repair and RNA transcriptional regulation has been reported, its expression and role in LUAD remain to be elucidated. This study aims to investigate the expression and role of DDB1 in LUAD.
METHODS:
The expression, clinicopathological features and prognosis of DDB1 in LUAD were analysed using databases such as UALCAN, Kaplan-Meier Plotter and GEPIA; The interaction network and enriched functional pathways were constructed by GeneMANIA and Metascape; the correlation between DDB1 and immune cells by combining with TISIDB infiltration was evaluated, and the clustering results of cell subtypes and the expression of DDB1 in different immune cell subpopulations were analysed by single-cell sequencing; finally, tissue microarrays were used to further verify the expression and prognostic value of DDB1 in LUAD.
RESULTS:
The mRNA and protein expression of DDB1 in LUAD tissues were significantly higher than those in normal tissues (P<0.01), and the high expression correlated with later clinical stage (P<0.001), lymph node metastasis (P<0.001) and poor prognosis (P<0.001). Functional enrichment showed that DDB1 was involved in DNA repair and RNA transcriptional regulation, and TISIDB evaluation revealed that DDB1 was negatively correlated with the expression level of immune cells, suggesting the potential regulation of the immune microenvironment. Single cell analysis showed that DDB1 was mainly expressed in T cells, alveolar macrophages and dendritic cells. Tissue microarrays confirmed that overall survival was shorter in the DDB1 high expression group (P<0.001), and Cox multifactorial analysis showed that DDB1 was an independent predictor of LUAD prognosis.
CONCLUSIONS
DDB1 is highly expressed in LUAD, which is associated with poor prognosis, and is closely related to tumor immune cell infiltration, and is involved in tumourigenesis and development through DNA repair and RNA transcriptional regulation. DDB1 can be used as a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target for LUAD.

Cultivating innovative medical talents is a key strategy for enhancing a hospital's core competitiveness.Taking Zhejiang Cancer Hospital as a case study,this paper constructs a lifelong training system for innovative medical talents based on the"Triple-Phase Cultivation Framework(three stages,four integrations,five mechanisms)".This system delineates the cultivation cycle in-to three stages aligned with talent development trajectories:the"30s Start-up Phase"(young talents under 35),the"40s Growth Phase"(core professionals under 45),and the"50s Breakthrough Phase"(academic leaders under 50).It implements a four-dimensional cultivation model integrating medicine with research,education,engineering/informatics,and industry.Furthermore,a com-prehensive guarantee mechanism is established,encompassing policies & systems,platform re-sources,project drivers,financial investment,and talent teams.Practice demonstrates that this system has significantly enhanced talent development effectiveness.Over the past five years,the hospital has established 2 academician workstations and recruited 10 academician teams.The annual number of postdoctoral researchers has surged from 4 in 2020 to 58 in 2024.A total of 71 innova-tive talents have been selected across three batches,with 69 recognitions in provincial/ministerial-level talent programs,placing the hospital among the leaders within hospitals directly under the Zhejiang Provincial Health Commission.Notably,the hospital achieved a"zero breakthrough"in in-dependently cultivating national-level talents,including recipients of the National Ten-Thousand Talent Program(Young Top Talents)and the Postdoctoral Innovative Talent Support Program.The"Triple-Phase Cultivation Framework"establishes a replicable paradigm for nurturing innovative medical talents through its full-career-cycle approach,multidisciplinary integration,and systematic support mechanisms,offering valuable insights for talent strategies in specialized cancer hospitals.
