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

TGF-β1 is a pleiotropic cytokine with potent anti-inflammation property. However, the mechanisms underlying TGF-β1 suppression of inflammation remain largely unexplored. In this study, we demonstrated that TGF-β1 inhibited TNF-α- or IL-1-induced RANTES expression in human kidney tubular epithelial cells (HKC-8). To delineate the mechanism by which TGF-β1 inhibits RANTES expression, we examined the potential signal pathway activated by TGF-β1 in suppressing NF-κB signaling. TGF-β1 affected neither TNF-α-induced IκBα phosphorylation and subsequent degradation, nor p65 NF-κB phosphorylation and its nuclear translocation. However, TGF-β1 could inhibit p65 and p50 binding to the κB site in human RANTES promoter as revealed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay and protein-DNA binding assay. We found that TGF-β1 induced glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) phosphorylation on Ser-9 in HKC-8 cells, leading to its inactivation. Knockdown of GSK-3β mimicked TGF-β1 and inhibited RANTES induction, whereas overexpression of GSK-3β abolished the inhibitory effect of TGF-β1 and completely restored RANTES expression. Furthermore, TGF-β1 induced the dephosphorylation and activation of β-catenin, a major downstream target of GSK-3β. Ectopic expression of constitutively active β-catenin mimicked the TGF-β1 effect and completely suppressed RANTES expression induced by TNF-α. Interestingly, TGF-β1 induced a physical interaction between β-catenin and p65 NF-κB, which prevented p65 binding to the κB site, sequestered its trans-activating activity, and repressed p65-mediated gene transcription. We conclude that TGF-β1 inhibition of proinflammatory RANTES expression is mediated by β-catenin-triggered blockade of NF-κB signaling.
