Changes in gene-expression profiles of colon carcinoma cells induced by wild type K-ras2.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
aimTo further elucidate the possible molecular biological activity of wild type K-ras2 gene by detecting changes in wild type K-ras2 gene-induced gene-expression profiles of colon carcinoma cells using cDNA microarray techniques.
methodsTotal RNA was isolated from peripheral blood of health volunteers. Reverse transcription of RNA and polymerase chain reaction were used to synthesize wild type K-ras2 cDNA. K-ras2 cDNA fragment was cloned into a T easy vector and sequenced. A eukaryotic expression vector pCI-neo-K-ras2 was constructed and transfected to Caco2 cell line using the liposome method. Finally, mRNA was isolated, reverse-transcribed to cDNA from pCI-neo-K-ras2 or pCI-neo blank vector-transfected Caco cells, and analyzed by cDNA microarray assay.
resultsRestriction enzyme analysis and DNA sequencing verified that the constructed expression vector was accurate. High-quality RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed to cDNA for microarray assay. Among the 135 genes, the expression was up-regulated in 24 and down-regulated in 121. All these differentially expressed genes were related to cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and signal transduction.
conclusionDifferentially expressed genes can be successfully screened from wild type K-ras2-transfected colon carcinoma cells using microarray techniques. The results of our study suggest that wild type K-ras2 is related to the negative regulation of cell proliferation, metabolism and transcriptional control, and provide new clues to the further elucidation of its possible biological activity.
