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

Protein kinase C epsilon (PKC epsilon ) acts as an antiapoptotic protein and inhibits tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced apoptosis in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Members of the TNF receptor superfamily trigger apoptosis independent of the tumor suppressor protein p53, which primarily affects DNA damage-induced apoptosis. We have previously shown that PKC epsilon acts upstream of Akt to inhibit receptor-initiated cell death. Since Akt can regulate p53, we have examined the involvement of p53 in PKC epsilon-mediated TRAIL resistance. Overexpression of PKC epsilon in MCF-7 cells (MCF-7/PKC epsilon ) caused a decrease in p53 and an increase in human homolog of murine double minute 2 (Hdm2) and phospho-Hdm2. Depletion of p53 by siRNA attenuated, whereas depletion of Hdm2 enhanced TRAIL-mediated apoptosis. Knockdown of Akt decreased Hdm2 phosphorylation, increased p53 level and potentiated TRAIL-induced cell death. Depletion of epsilon from MCF-7 cells caused an increase in p53, whereas knockdown of p53 caused a decrease in Bid mRNA. Depletion of Akt from MCF-7/PKC epsilon cells resulted in an increase in p53 and Bid. These results suggest that PKC epsilon mediates TRAIL resistance by Akt-mediated phosphorylation of Hdm2 resulting in suppression of p53 expression and downregulation of Bid in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
