Tolerance of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-specific phospholipase D overexpression by Chinese hamster ovary cell mutants with aberrant GPI biosynthesis.
Article in The Biochemical journal, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Mammalian glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) is capable of releasing GPI-anchored proteins by cleavage of the GPI moiety. A previous study indicated that overexpression of GPI-PLD in mouse RAW 264.7 monocytes/macrophages could be cytotoxic, since survivors of stable transfections had enzymic activity no higher than untransfected cells [Du and Low (2001) Infect. Immun. 69, 3214-3223]. We investigated this phenomenon by transfecting bovine GPI-PLD cDNA stably into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells using a bi-cistronic expression system. The surviving transfectants showed an unchanged cellular level of GPI-PLD, supporting the cytotoxicity hypothesis. However, when using a CHO mutant defective in the second step of GPI biosynthesis as host, the expression level of GPI-PLD in stable transfectants was increased by 2.5-fold compared with untransfected or empty-vector-transfected cells. To identify the mechanism, we studied another CHO cell mutant (G9PLAP.D5), which seems to be defective at a later stage in GPI biosynthesis. In sharp contrast with wild-type cells, GPI-PLD activity in G9PLAP.D5 transfected with bovine GPI-PLD cDNA was 100-fold higher than untransfected or empty-vector-transfected cells. This was accompanied by a significant release of alkaline phosphatase into the medium and a decrease in membrane-associated alkaline phosphatase. Taken together, our results indicate that overexpression of GPI-PLD is lethal to wild-type cells, possibly by catalysing the overproduction of GPI-derived toxic substances. We propose that cells with abnormal GPI biosynthesis/processing can escape the toxic effect of these substances.
