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

Two isoforms of heat shock protein (HSP) 90, alpha and beta, are abundantly expressed in the cytoplasm of cells, yet only HSP90alpha serves as a chaperone to potentiate epitope presentation in the context of MHC class I molecules. By contrast, the role of HSP90 isoforms in MHC class II presentation of exogenous and endogenous Ags remains less clear. Studies here using human B lymphoblasts demonstrate the importance of HSP90alpha and HSP90beta isoforms in selectively regulating class II presentation of the diabetes autoantigen glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD). Inactivation of HSP90 function using geldanamycin or radicicol inhibited MHC class II presentation of exogenous and endogenous GAD, but did not perturb the presentation of several other intra- and extracellular Ags. Treatment of human B cells with geldanamycin and radicicol did not alter cellular MHC class II expression, but did induce a stress response in these APCs. Yet, cell stress alone failed to perturb MHC class II presentation of GAD. HSP90 was found to associate with select Ags such as GAD in cells and ex vivo. Knockdown of HSP90alpha or HSP90beta expression using small interfering RNA decreased the abundance of each isoform, respectively, but did not affect MHC class II expression or induce a stress response. Notably, disruption of HSP90alpha or HSP90beta expression specifically inhibited class II presentation of the exogenous and endogenous GAD Ag. Precomplexing HSP90 with GAD Ag enhanced exogenous GAD Ag presentation. These results demonstrate a requirement for HSP90alpha and HSP90beta in regulating class II presentation of select Ags.
