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

background and purposeHyperactivation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), commonly observed in cancer, is believed to promote cancer cell growth and survival. Appropriate mitochondrial function is an integral part of cellular function. How PI3K affects mitochondrial homeostasis is not fully understood. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Mitochondrial mass, membrane potential and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were quantified by three different fluorogenic probes. Gene expression at the levels of mRNA and protein were measured by quantitative RT-PCR and Western analysis. KEY

resultsUsing the PI3K inhibitors LY294002 and PI103, we found that suppressing PI3K activity altered mitochondrial function. Specifically, LY294002 and PI103 suppressed the mRNA expression levels of mitochondrial regulators nuclear respiratory factors 1 and 2 (NRF1 and NRF2). As NRF1 and NRF2 are under the transcriptional control of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivators-1α and -1β (PGC-1α and PGC-1β), we found that suppressing PI3K activity selectively reduced both the mRNA and protein levels of PGC-1β but not PGC-1α. Reducing PGC-1β expression also led to reduced mRNA expression levels of uncoupling protein 1, 2 (UCP1 and UCP2) and superoxide dismutase 2. Correspondingly, mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψ(m)) and ROS levels were increased. Finally, we partially blunted the LY294002-mediated growth suppression by using an antioxidant or over-expressing PGC-1β. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: PI3K regulates mitochondrial homeostasis in part through PGC-1β and blocking this pathway induces ROS to arrest cell growth at the G₁ phase.
