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 kinase Cepsilon (PKCepsilon), a diacyglycerol- and phorbol ester-responsive serine-threonine kinase, has been implicated in mitogenic and survival control, and it is markedly overexpressed in human tumors, including in prostate cancer. Although prostate cancer cells undergo apoptosis in response to phorbol ester stimulation via PKCdelta-mediated release of death factors, the involvement of PKCepsilon in this response is not known. PKCepsilon depletion by RNAi or expression of a dominant negative kinase-dead PKCepsilon mutant potentiated the apoptotic response of PMA and sensitized LNCaP cells to the death receptor ligand TNFalpha. On the other hand, overexpression of PKCepsilon by adenoviral means protected LNCaP cells against apoptotic stimuli. Interestingly, PKCepsilon RNAi depletion significantly enhanced the release of TNFalpha in response to PMA and greatly potentiated JNK activation by this cytokine. Further mechanistic analysis revealed that PMA fails to promote phosphorylation of Bad in Ser(112) in PKCepsilon-depleted LNCaP cells, whereas PKCepsilon overexpression greatly enhanced Bad phosphorylation. This effect was independent of Akt, ERK, or p90Rsk, well established kinases for Ser(112) in Bad. Moreover, expression of a S112A-Bad mutant potentiated PMA-induced apoptosis. Finally, we found that upon activation PKCepsilon accumulated in mitochondrial fractions in LNCaP cells and that Bad was a substrate of PKCepsilon in vitro. Our results established that PKCepsilon modulates survival in prostate cancer cells via multiple pathways.
