This issue is especially acute in lung cancer, where the respiratory epithelium is intrinsically permissive to cell-state change. Genetic lesions, chromatin regulation, and metabolic adaptation are often framed as parallel determinants of lineage plasticity. Emerging evidence instead points to functional coupling across these layers. Oncogenic alterations can weaken lineage fidelity and open alternative trajectories, chromatin regulators can stabilise transitional states and enforce new transcriptional programmes, and metabolic rewiring can supply the biochemical conditions required for these states to emerge and persist. Microenvironmental cues further influence which trajectories are selected and maintained. Here, we discuss the genetic, epigenetic, and metabolic determinants of lineage plasticity in lung cancer, focusing on the points at which they intersect. We propose that plasticity is most usefully understood as a coupled regulatory state, arising from the interaction between oncogenic context, chromatin control, and metabolic support. Defining how these dependencies arise and become functionally coupled within high-plasticity transitional states should help identify points at which lineage switching can be intercepted before alternative lineage programmes are stabilised.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bst20250546","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,6]],"date-time":"2026-10-06T07:47:01Z","timestamp":1791272821000},"page":"1419-1430","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Genes, fuel, and fate in lung cancer"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0022-0305","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julia\u00a0S.","family":"Scott","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-5152-6785","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catrin","family":"Lutz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Division of Tumor Biology and Immunology, The Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7051-9321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefan","family":"Prekovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands"},{"name":"3Singapore Eye Research Institute, Singapore, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026100603465722400_B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"231","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-025-09985-x","article-title":"Critical role for a high-plasticity cell state in lung cancer","volume":"651","author":"Chan","year":"2026","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"2026100603465722400_B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"360","DOI":"10.1038\/s41571-020-0340-z","article-title":"Lineage plasticity in cancer: a shared pathway of therapeutic resistance","volume":"17","author":"Quintanal-Villalonga","year":"2020","journal-title":"Nat.
