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

Proteasomal stress and the accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins are key features of numerous neurodegenerative disorders. Previously we demonstrated that stabilization of p53 and activation of its target gene, puma (p53-upregulated mediator of apoptosis), mediated proteasome inhibitor-induced apoptosis in cancer cells. Here we demonstrated that Puma also contributed to proteasome inhibitor-induced apoptosis in mouse neocortical neurons. Although protection afforded by puma gene deletion was incomplete, we found little evidence indicating contributions from other proapoptotic BH3-only proteins. Attenuation of bax expression did not further reduce Puma-independent apoptosis, suggesting that pathways other than the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway were activated. Real-time imaging experiments in wild-type and puma-deficient neurons using a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based caspase sensor confirmed the involvement of a second cell death pathway characterized by caspase activation prior to mitochondrial permeabilization and, more prominently, a third, caspase-independent and Puma-independent pathway characterized by rapid cell shrinkage and nuclear condensation. This pathway involved lysosomal permeabilization in the absence of autophagy activation and was sensitive to cathepsin but not autophagy inhibition. Our data demonstrate that proteasomal stress activates distinct cell death pathways in neurons, leading to both caspase-dependent and caspase-independent apoptosis, and demonstrate independent roles for Puma and lysosomal permeabilization in this model.
