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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsCancer cells are thought to possess immune evasion properties due to FasL overexpression in many types of human tumors. In the present study, we set out to investigate the role of MAPK-ERK pathway in 67-kDa laminin receptor induced FasL expression and FasL-mediated apoptosis in human cholangiocarcinoma cells.

methodsThe expression of FasL and its promoter activity in cultured cholangiocarcinoma cells were examined after treatment with laminin or transfection with plasmids containing siRNA targeted to 67-kDa laminin receptor. The effects of MAPK-ERK cascade inhibitor and c-Myc inhibition by siRNA on 67-kDa laminin receptor-induced FasL expression were determined. Apoptosis assay was performed to analyze the apoptosis of lymphocytes cocultured with cholangiocarcinoma cells treated with or without MAPK-ERK cascade inhibitor.

resultsOur results revealed that the specific MAPK-ERK cascade inhibitor, PD98059, significantly attenuated phosphorylation of c-Myc on Ser-62 and FasL upregulation in QBC-939 cells and these cells showed decreased cytotoxicity against Fas-sensitive Jurkat T cells. A luciferase reporter assay revealed that FasL promoter activity was significantly reduced in cells treated with PD98059 or transfected with c-Myc siRNA.

conclusionsBased on these results, we conclude that 67LR induces FasL expression and cytotoxicity against Fas-sensitive Jurkat T cells in human cholangiocarcinoma cells through the phosphorylation of c-Myc on Ser-62 and the subsequent activation of the FasL promoter through the ERK pathway.
