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 phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a heterotrimer comprising catalytic, scaffold, and regulatory (B) subunits. There are at least 21 B subunit family members. Thus PP2A is actually a family of enzymes defined by which B subunit is used. The B56 family member B56alpha is a phosphoprotein that regulates dephosphorylation of BCL2. The stress kinase PKR has been shown to phosphorylate B56alpha at serine 28 in vitro, but it has been unclear how PKR might regulate the BCL2 phosphatase. In the present study, PKR regulation of B56alpha in REH cells was examined, because these cells exhibit robust BCL2 phosphatase activity. PKR was found to be basally active in REH cells as would be predicted if the kinase supports B56alpha-mediated dephosphorylation of BCL2. Suppression of PKR promoted BCL2 phosphorylation with concomitant loss of B56alpha phosphorylation at serine 28 and inhibition of mitochondrial PP2A activity. PKR supports stress signaling in REH cells, as suppression of PKR promoted chemoresistance to etoposide. Suppression of PKR promoted B56alpha proteolysis, which could be blocked by a proteasome inhibitor. However, the mechanism by which PKR supports B56alpha protein does not involve PKR-mediated phosphorylation of the B subunit at serine 28 but may involve eIF2alpha activation of AKT. Phosphorylation of serine 28 by PKR promotes mitochondrial localization of B56alpha, because wild-type but not mutant S28A B56alpha promoted mitochondrial PP2A activity. Cells expressing wild-type B56alpha but not S28A B56alpha were sensitized to etoposide. These results suggest that PKR regulates B56alpha-mediated PP2A signaling in REH cells.
