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

Glucocorticoid steroid hormones play important roles in many neurophysiological processes such as responses to stress, behavioral adaption, and mood. One mechanism by which glucocorticoids exert functions in the brain is via the modulation of neurotransmission systems. Glucocorticoids are capable of inducing the activities of monoamine oxidases (MAOs), which degrade monoamine neurotransmitters including serotonin, norepinephrine, phenylethylamine, and dopamine. However, the molecular mechanisms for such induction are not yet fully understood. Here, we report that dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid hormone, stimulates MAO B (an isoform of MAOs) promoter and catalytic activities via both the fourth glucocorticoid response element (GRE) and simian virus 40 promoter factor 1 (Sp1) binding sites in MAO B promoter. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis demonstrated that glucocorticoid receptor binds to the fourth GRE in vitro and in vivo. Using Sp1-binding motifs as bait in a yeast one-hybrid system, we identified two novel transcriptional repressors of MAO B, E2F-associated phosphoprotein (EAPP) and R1 (RAM2/CDCA7L/JPO2), that down-regulate MAO B via MAO B core promoter, which contains Sp1 sites. EMSA suggested that EAPP and R1 competed with Sp1 for binding to the Sp1 site in vitro. Moreover, EAPP and R1 reduced Sp1-activated glucocorticoid activation of MAO B promoter. In response to dexamethasone, lower occupancy by EAPP and R1 and higher occupancy by Sp1 were shown at the natural MAO B core promoter. Together, this study uncovers for the first time the molecular mechanisms for glucocorticoid activation of MAO B gene and provides new insights into the hormonal regulation of MAO.
