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

IL6 is a pleiotropic cytokine which has been implicated in ligand-independent activation of androgen receptor in prostate cancer cells. Here, we present the evidence that two cytoplasmic kinases Pim1 and Etk are involved in this process. We showed that Pim1 is expressed in all prostate cancer cell lines examined. Both the expression level and the kinase activity of Pim1 are regulated by IL6 in these cells. Furthermore, we showed that IL6 downstream tyrosine kinase Etk can induce tyrosine phosphorylation of Pim1 which is correlated with its kinase activity. Mutation of the conserved Tyrosine 218 in the activation loop results in reduced kinase activity of Pim1. Interestingly, Etk can also be activated by Pim1 when they are coexpressed in prostate cancer cells, suggesting a possible positive feedback loop between Etk and Pim1. It appears that both Pim1 and Etk are required for IL6-induced activation of androgen receptor-mediated transcription in prostate cancer cells because overexpression of the kinase-deficient form of either Pim1 or Etk dramatically blocks the IL6 effect. Coexpression of the two kinases together but neither one alone is sufficient to activate ARE-containing promoter. Taken together, our data suggest a synergism of Ser/Thr kinase Pim1 and tyrosine kinase Etk in IL6 signaling and provide new insights into ligand-independent activation of androgen receptor in prostate cancer cells.
