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

Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer that exhibits either a favorable or an unfavorable phenotype. MYCN and MYC are oncoproteins that play crucial roles in determining the malignancy of unfavorable neuroblastoma. The Hsp90 superchaperone complex assists in the folding and function of a variety of oncogenic client proteins. Inhibition of Hsp90 by small molecule inhibitors leads to the destabilization of these oncogenic proteins and consequently suppresses tumor malignancy. Nonetheless, little is known about the effect of Hsp90 inhibition on the stability of MYCN and MYC proteins. In this study, we investigated the effect of Hsp90 inhibition on the phenotype of unfavorable neuroblastoma cells including its effect on MYCN and MYC expression. Two MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cell lines (IMR5 and CHP134) and two non-MYCN-amplified cell lines (SY5Y and SKNAS) were used to address the effect of Hsp90 inhibition on the malignant phenotype of neuroblastoma. It was found that Hsp90 inhibition in neuroblastoma cell lines resulted in significant growth suppression, a decrease in MYCN and MYC expression, and an increase in the expression of p53. In the TP53-mutated SKNAS cell line, Hsp90 inhibition enhanced the expression of the favorable neuroblastoma genes EFNB2, MIZ-1 and NTRK1 (TrkA). In addition, Hsp90 inhibition reduced HDAC6 expression and enhanced tubulin acetylation. Together our data suggest that Hsp90 inhibition suppresses the growth of neuroblastoma through multiple cellular pathways and that MYC/MYCN destabilization is among the important consequences of Hsp90 inhibition.
