1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The hypothalamic hormone gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates the synthesis and release of the pituitary gonadotropins. GnRH acts through a plasma membrane receptor that is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family. These receptors interact with heterotrimeric G proteins to initiate downstream signaling. In this study, we have investigated which G proteins are involved in GnRH receptor-mediated signaling in L beta T2 pituitary gonadotrope cells. We have shown previously that GnRH activates ERK and induces the c-fos and LH beta genes in these cells. Signaling via the G(i) subfamily of G proteins was excluded, as neither ERK activation nor c-Fos and LH beta induction was impaired by treatment with pertussis toxin or a cell-permeable peptide that sequesters G beta gamma-subunits. GnRH signaling was partially mimicked by adenoviral expression of a constitutively active mutant of G alpha(q) (Q209L) and was blocked by a cell-permeable peptide that uncouples G alpha(q) from GPCRs. Furthermore, chronic activation of G alpha(q) signaling induced a state of GnRH resistance. A cell-permeable peptide that uncouples G alpha(s) from receptors was also able to inhibit ERK, c-Fos, and LH beta, indicating that both G(q/11) and G(s) proteins are involved in signaling. Consistent with this, GnRH caused GTP loading on G(s) and G(q/11) and increased intracellular cAMP. Artificial elevation of cAMP with forskolin activated ERK and caused a partial induction of c-Fos. Finally, treatment of G alpha(q) (Q209L)-infected cells with forskolin enhanced the induction of c-Fos showing that the two pathways are independent and additive. Taken together, these results indicate that the GnRH receptor activates both G(q) and G(s) signaling to regulate gene expression in L beta T2 cells.
