Menin represses malignant phenotypes of melanoma through regulating multiple pathways.

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.
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
Substantial genetic evidence suggests that chromosome 11q is involved in regulating initiation and progression of malignant melanomas. Mutations of the MEN1 gene, located in chromosome 11q13, predispose individuals to the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) familial syndrome. MEN1 patients develop primary malignant melanoma, suggesting a potential link between MEN1 syndrome and development of melanomas, but the precise molecular mechanism is poorly understood. Here we show that the MEN1 gene suppresses malignant phenotypes of melanoma cells through multiple signalling pathways. Ectopic expression of menin, the product of MEN1 gene, significantly inhibited melanoma cell proliferation and migration in vitro and in vivo. The inhibition was partly achieved through suppressing expression of growth factor pleiotrophin (PTN) and receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase (RPTP) β/ζ, accompanied with the reduced expression of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (pI3K) and decreased phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK1/2). Interestingly, reduced expression of menin was associated with hypermethylation of the CpG islands of the MEN1 promoter in melanoma cells. Taken together, these findings suggest a previously unappreciated function for menin in suppressing malignant phenotypes of melanomas and unravel a novel mechanism involving in regulating PTN signalling by menin in development and progression of melanomas.
