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

Our recent studies showed that transglutaminase-1 (TGase-1) is uniquely expressed in mouse renal proximal tubular cells (RPTC) and mediates cell proliferation. In this study, we investigated the role of TGase-1 in cell survival and the survival signaling pathways regulated by TGase-1 in RPTC following oxidant injury. Exposure of RPTC to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) resulted in apoptosis and an increase in TGase activity. Inhibition of TGase activity with monodansylcadervine (MDC), a TGase inhibitor, or knockdown of TGase-1 with small interference (si)RNA enhanced apoptosis and decreased cell survival in H2O2-treated RPTC. Conversely, overexpression of TGase-1 rendered RPTC more resistant to H2O2 toxicity and MDC treatment blocked this response. Concurrent with RPTC apoptosis, phosphorylation of AKT, signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3), and glucogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta) were observed. Pretreatment of cells with MDC or TGase-1 siRNA inhibited phosphorylation of all these molecules. Inhibition of either the AKT or STAT3 pathway potentiated H2O2-induced cell death and increased GSK-3beta activity by dephosphorylation at serine 9. Furthermore, treatment with GSK-3beta inhibitors reduced H2O2-induced apoptosis and abolished the death-promoting effect of AKT and STAT3 inhibition. Therefore, we have identified TGase-1 as a novel survival factor in renal epithelial cells and it contributes to cell survival through activation of the AKT and STAT3 signaling pathways following oxidant injury.
