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

Tis11b/BRF1 belongs to the tristetraprolin family, the members of which are involved in AU-rich-dependent regulation of mRNA stability/degradation. Mouse inactivation of the Tis11b gene has revealed disorganization of the vascular network and up-regulation of the proangiogenic factor VEGF. However, the VEGF deregulation alone cannot explain the phenotype of Tis11b knockouts. Therefore we investigated the role of Tis11b in expression of Dll4, another angiogenic gene for which haploinsufficiency is lethal. In this paper, we show that Tis11b silencing in endothelial cells leads to up-regulation of Dll4 protein and mRNA expressions, indicating that Dll4 is a physiological target of Tis11b. Tis11b protein binds to endogenous Dll4 mRNA, and represses mRNA expression without affecting its stability. In the Dll4 mRNA 3' untranslated region, we identified one particular AUUUA motif embedded in a weak noncanonical polyadenylation (poly(A)) signal as the major Tis11b-binding site. Moreover, we observed that inhibition of Tis11b expression changes the ratio between mRNAs that are cleaved or read through at the poly(A) signal position, suggesting that Tis11b can interfere with mRNA cleavage and poly(A) efficiency. Last, we report that this Tis11b-mediated mechanism is used by endothelial cells under hypoxia for controlling Dll4 mRNA levels. This work constitutes the first description of a new function for Tis11b in mammalian cell mRNA 3'-end maturation.
