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

Three members of the IAP family (X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP), cellular inhibitor of apoptosis proteins-1/-2 (cIAP1 and cIAP2)) are potent suppressors of apoptosis. Recent studies have shown that cIAP1 and cIAP2, unlike XIAP, are not direct caspase inhibitors, but block apoptosis by functioning as E3 ligases for effector caspases and receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1). cIAP-mediated polyubiquitination of RIP1 allows it to bind to the pro-survival kinase transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) which prevents it from activating caspase-8-dependent death, a process reverted by the de-ubiquitinase CYLD. RIP1 is also a regulator of necrosis, a caspase-independent type of cell death. Here, we show that cells depleted of the IAPs by treatment with the IAP antagonist BV6 are greatly sensitized to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced necrosis, but not to necrotic death induced by anti-Fas, poly(I:C) oxidative stress. Specific targeting of the IAPs by RNAi revealed that repression of cIAP1 is responsible for the sensitization. Similarly, lowering TAK1 levels or inhibiting its kinase activity sensitized cells to TNF-induced necrosis, whereas repressing CYLD had the opposite effect. We show that this sensitization to death is accompanied by enhanced RIP1 kinase activity, increased recruitment of RIP1 to Fas-associated via death domain and RIP3 (which allows necrosome formation), and elevated RIP1 kinase-dependent accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In conclusion, our data indicate that cIAP1 and TAK1 protect cells from TNF-induced necrosis by preventing RIP1/RIP3-dependent ROS production.
