Novel rapid tissue lysis method to evaluate cancer proteins: correlation between elevated Bcl-X(L) expression and colorectal cancer cell proliferation.

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
aimWe optimized a rapid and efficient tissue lysis method using the MagNA Lyser (Roche, Germany). Using this novel method combined with immunoblot analysis, we investigated the correlation between abnormal Bcl-X(L) expression and clinicopathological characteristics in colorectal cancer.
methodsTissue samples from Sprague-Dawley rats were tested to determine optimal lysis conditions for use with MagNA Lyser. We next used the new method to extract tissue proteins from the tumor tissue of a colorectal cancer patient. The availability of extractable tissue proteins for proteomic study was demonstrated by two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis and subsequent matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. In addition, we prepared tissue lysates from paired tumor tissues and adjacent nontumor tissues of 50 colorectal carcinoma patients. Ensuing immunoblot analyses were performed to detect the level of Bcl-X(L) expression.
resultsThe optimal sample sizes processed were found to be around 200 mg, with oscillation frequency of 6500 r/min for 80 s. Test of the first human tissue lysate confirmed that the MagNA Lyser method was adequate for protein extraction and subsequent identification by current proteomic protocols. The method was also applicable to immunoblot analysis. Thirty of 50 (60%) colorectal patients exhibited higher level of Bcl-X(L) expression in their tumor tissues. Raised level of Bcl-X(L) expression correlated with patients' gender and tumor cell proliferation index (P = 0.037 and P<0.001, respectively), but was independent of clinicopathological characteristics and overall survival.
conclusionWe report a novel tissue lysis method applicable to proteomic and immunoblot analyses, which can facilitate the discovery and detection of cancer protein alterations.
