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

The orphan nuclear receptor Nurr1 is essential for the development and maintenance of midbrain dopaminergic neurons, the cells that degenerate during Parkinson's disease, by promoting the transcription of genes involved in dopaminergic neurotransmission. Since Nurr1 lacks a classical ligand-binding pocket, it is not clear which factors regulate its activity and how these factors are affected during disease pathogenesis. Since Wnt signaling via beta-catenin promotes the differentiation of Nurr1(+) dopaminergic precursors in vitro, we tested for functional interactions between these systems. We found that beta-catenin and Nurr1 functionally interact at multiple levels. In the absence of beta-catenin, Nurr1 is associated with Lef-1 in corepressor complexes. Beta-catenin binds Nurr1 and disrupts these corepressor complexes, leading to coactivator recruitment and induction of Wnt- and Nurr1-responsive genes. We then identified KCNIP4/calsenilin-like protein as being responsive to concurrent activation by Nurr1 and beta-catenin. Since KCNIP4 interacts with presenilins, the Alzheimer's disease-associated proteins that promote beta-catenin degradation, we tested the possibility that KCNIP4 induction regulates beta-catenin signaling. KCNIP4 induction limited beta-catenin activity in a presenilin-dependent manner, thereby serving as a negative feedback loop; furthermore, Nurr1 inhibition of beta-catenin activity was absent in PS1(-/-) cells or in the presence of small interfering RNAs specific to KCNIP4. These data describe regulatory convergence between Nurr1 and beta-catenin, providing a mechanism by which Nurr1 could be regulated by Wnt signaling.
