Expression of NHERF1 in colonic tumors induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine in rats is independent of plasma ovarian steroids.

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
In normal embryonic fibroblasts, the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger regulator factor 1 (NHERF1) stabilizes E-cadherin/β-catenin binding and the lack of NHERF1 expression promotes cell transformation thus acting as a tumor suppressor gene. We here tested the hypothesis that NHERF1 could act as a tumor suppressor gene in colon cancer as a mediator of estrogens' protective actions in colon carcinogenesis. We studied the expression and localization of NHERF1 and β-catenin by immunohistochemistry in colonic tumors induced by 1,2 dimethylhidrazine (DMH) in Sprague-Dawley rats. One group of the rats treated with the carcinogen was ovariectomized (OVX) in the middle of the tumor induction, simulating a human menopausal condition. We observed a protective role of estrogens in colon cancer, as non-ovariectomized rats (DMH) had a reduced tumor area compared with the ovariectomized group (DMH + OVX; mean ± SE) 28.98 ± 4.65 vs. 67.58 ± 8.69 (p < 0.00380). Despite the lack of plasma estrogen stimulation, we found abundant expression of NHERF1 in colon tumors from ovariectomized rats. NHERF1 was mainly localized in the cytoplasm of the adenocarcinoma cells and lost the apical localization previously reported in normal colon tissue. We also detected expression of NHERF1 by western blot in the SW48, CACO-2, and HT29 colon cancer cell lines. Non-estrogenic factors in plasma or the tumor microenvironment may regulate NHERF1 expression in transformed colon epithelial cells. Further studies are required to understand the regulation of NHERF1 expression in colon cancer tissue.
