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

p21-activated kinase 5 (PAK5) is a recently identified member of the group B PAK family. The PAK proteins are effectors of the small GTPase Cdc42 and Rac1 and are known to regulate cell motility and activate cell-survival signaling pathways. Especially, the mitochondrial localization of PAK5 is vital to its effects on apoptosis and cell survival. Previously, we demonstrated that PAK5 expression increased significantly during the malignant progression of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and that PAK5 promoted CRC metastasis by regulating CRC cell adhesion and migration. In the present study, we aim to investigate the role of PAK5 in camptothecin-induced apoptosis and its potential mechanism of action. Our results showed that overexpression of PAK5 inhibited camptothecin-induced apoptosis by inhibiting the activity of caspase-8 in CRC cells. Accordingly, knockdown of PAK5 in LoVo cells resulted in increased apoptosis. Mechanistically, we found that PAK5 directly phosphorylated Bad on serine 112 and indirectly led to phosphorylation of serine 136 via the Akt pathway. In conclusion, our study revealed previously unappreciated inhibitory role of PAK5 in camptothecin-induced apoptosis, thus suggesting PAK5 as a novel therapeutic target in CRC.
