Adenovirus-mediated stem cell leukemia gene transfer induces rescue of interstitial cells of Cajal in ICC-loss mice.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
objectiveInteraction of c-Kit and its ligand stem cell factor (SCF) is necessary for appropriate development and survival of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the intestine. Blockade of c-Kit will cause ICC loss in vivo. Stem cell leukemia (SCL) gene acts as a positive regulator of upstream transcription of c-Kit expression. This study aimed to explore whether the restoration of c-Kit expression promoted by SCL gene transfer could rescue ICC in vivo. MATERIALS AND
methodsA modified ICC-loss mouse model was created by continual administration of anti-c-Kit antibody (ACK2) to obtain a steady status of ICC loss, and a recombinant adenovirus vector containing SCL gene (Ad-SCL) was designed to rescue ICC in these mice. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence labeling assays were performed to analyze the SCL and c-Kit expression in vitro and in vivo. The distribution and configuration of ICC were observed with immunohistochemistry and electromicroscope.
resultsWestern blot analysis and immunofluorescence labeling assays showed that SCL gene was successfully delivered to cultured HeLa and ICC cells in vitro. Moreover, significantly increased c-Kit expression could be detected in the colon of Ad-SCL-infected ICC-loss mice. Furthermore, rescue of the ICC network and ICC with typical ultrastructural features could be detected in Ad-SCL-infected ICC-loss mice at day 37.
conclusionsAd-SCL was able to enhance c-Kit expression, reactivate the c-Kit/SCF pathway, and rescue ICC in ICC-loss mice. Since loss and defects of ICC are associated with many human gut motility disorders, Ad-SCL may be of potential use in gene therapy of these patients.
