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

We showed previously that the signal transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is aberrantly activated and that inhibition of NF-kappaB induces cell death and inhibits tumorigenesis in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Thus, identification of specific kinases underlying the activation of NF-kappaB could provide targets for selective therapy. Inhibitor-kappaB (IkappaB) kinase (IKK) is known to activate NF-kappaB by inducing NH(2)-terminal phosphorylation and degradation of its endogenous inhibitor, IkappaB. Casein kinase 2 (CK2) was previously reported to be overexpressed in HNSCC cells and to be a COOH-terminal IKK, but its relationship to NF-kappaB activation in HNSCC cells is unknown. In this study, we examined the contribution of IKK and CK2 in the regulation of NF-kappaB in HNSCC in vitro. NF-kappaB activation was specifically inhibited by kinase-dead mutants of the IKK1 and IKK2 subunits or small interfering RNA targeting the beta subunit of CK2. CK2 and IKK kinase activity, as well as NF-kappaB transcriptional activity, was shown to be serum responsive, indicating that these kinases mediate aberrant activation of NF-kappaB in response to serum factor(s) in vitro. Recombinant CK2alpha was shown to phosphorylate recombinant IKK2 as well as to promote immunoprecipitated IKK complex from HNSCC to phosphorylate the NH(2)-terminal S32/S36 of IkappaBalpha. We conclude that the aberrant NF-kappaB activity in HNSCC cells in response to serum is partially through a novel mechanism involving CK2-mediated activation of IKK2, making these kinases candidates for selective therapy to target the NF-kappaB pathway in HNSCC.
