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 RUNX1/EVI1 chimeric transcription factor produced by t(3;21) causes leukemic transformation in hematopoietic stem cell tumors, possibly through a differentiation block of malignant myeloid progenitors. A dominant negative effect over wild-type RUNX1 has been shown to constitute one of the underlying molecular mechanisms. We introduced RUNX1/EVI1 cDNA into LG-3 cells that differentiate along the myeloid lineage upon exposure to granulocyte colony stimulating factor, and confirmed that RUNX1/EVI1 suppressed the differentiation. To further investigate the molecular mechanisms of RUNX1/EVI1-mediated differentiation block, we analyzed RUNX1/EVI1's effect on the functions of CCAAT-enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha), a key transcriptional regulator that induces granulocytic differentiation. RUNX1/EVI1 was found to associate with C/EBPalpha. By using a reporter assay with the CEBPA promoter, we observed a dominant negative effect of RUNX1/EVI1 over C/EBPalpha-mediated transcriptional activation via the carboxyl terminal-binding protein (CtBP)-binding site in the EVI1 portion. In a gel-shift assay, RUNX1/EVI1 downregulated the DNA-binding activity of C/EBPalpha. Therefore, recruitment of histone deacetylase via CtBP and disruption of DNA binding could be likely scenarios for the RUNX1/EVI1-induced dominant repression on C/EBPalpha. Importantly, coexpression of C/EBPalpha restored the differentiation ability of the RUNX1/EVI1-expressing LG-3 cells. All of these data argue that inhibition of C/EBPalpha function may be causatively related to the leukemogenic potential of RUNX1/EVI1.
