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

backgroundWe have shown recently that alpha(2)beta(1) integrin-mediated type I collagen adhesion promotes a more malignant phenotype in pancreatic cancer cell lines than other extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. MiaPaCa-2 cells, by contrast, do not express collagen-binding integrins, but are metastatic in our orthotopic mouse model and migrate maximally on laminin-1 (Ln-1). It has also been shown that CXCR4 and IL-8 expression correlates directly with metastasis in pancreatic cancer in vivo. We therefore examined the potential of the ECM to regulate CXCR4 and IL-8 expression in pancreatic cancer cells.

methodsWe cultured 8 pancreatic cancer cell lines on fibronectin (Fn), types I and IV collagen, Ln-1 and vitronectin (Vn), and examined cell lysates for CXCR4 by immunoblotting and media for IL-8 by ELISA. We also conducted cell migration assays with stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) as the chemoattractant to examine integrin-binding specificity and CXCR4 function.

resultsAll cell lines expressed CXCR4 protein. MiaPaCa-2 cell growth on Ln-1 increased significantly CXCR4 and IL-8 expression relative to other ECM proteins. Migration inhibition studies showed that both the alpha(6)beta(1) and alpha(3)beta(1) integrins mediate MiaPaCa-2 migration on Ln-1. Growth studies showed further that CXCR4 expression on Ln-1 was mediated by the alpha(6)beta(1) integrin whereas IL-8 expression was mediated by both the alpha(6)beta(1) and alpha(3)beta(1) integrins. The expression of functional CXCR4 was also shown in migration assays, where SDF-1 significantly increased pancreatic cancer cell chemotaxis on Ln-1.

conclusionsThese data indicate that integrin-mediated Ln-1 adhesion upregulates CXCR4 and IL-8 expression and may play a mechanistic role in pancreatic cancer metastases.
