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

Integrins play a major role in cell adhesion and migration. Previous work reported that a cleaved form of integrin alpha6 (alpha6p) was detected in invasive human prostate cancer tissue, absent in normal prostate tissue and was produced by urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator (uPA) in a plasmin-independent manner. Using site-directed mutagenesis we identified amino acid residues R594 and R595, located in the "stalk" region of integrin alpha6, as essential for cleavage. The cleavage site is located on the extracellular region of the protein between the beta-barrel domain and the thigh domain. Prostate cancer cells (PC3N) were stably transfected to overexpress the cleavable, wild-type (PC3N-alpha6-WT) or the non-cleavable form of integrin alpha6 (PC3N-alpha6-RR). The number of cells invading laminin 111- and laminin 332-coated filters by PC3N-alpha6-WT cells increased by threefold as compared to PC3N-alpha6-RR cells. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) reduced the invasion of PC3N-alpha6-WT cells by approximately 42% through laminin 332-coated filters and plasmin inhibitor aprotinin had no significant effect. Linear cell migration increased production of integrin alpha6p in the PC3N-alpha6-WT cells and not in the PC3N-alpha6-RR cells and 32% of the PC3N-alpha6-WT cells migrated on laminin 111 in the linear migration assay as compared to the 5% PC3N-alpha6-RR cells. These data taken together suggest that the uPA-mediated cell surface cleavage of the alpha6 integrin extracellular domain is involved in tumor cell invasion and migration on laminin.
