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

A variety of mechanisms confer hypersensitivity of tumor cells to the macrolide rapamycin, the prototypic mTORC1 inhibitor. Several studies have shown that the status of the AKT kinase plays a critical role in determining hypersensitivity. Cancer cells in which AKT activity is elevated are exquisitely sensitive to mTORC1 inhibitors while cells in which the kinase is quiescent are relatively resistant. Our previous work has shown that a transcript-specific protein synthesis salvage pathway is operative in cells with quiescent AKT levels, maintaining the translation of crucial mRNAs involved in cell-cycle progression in the face of global eIF-4E-mediated translation inhibition. The activation of this salvage pathway is dependent on SAPK2/p38-mediated activation of IRES-dependent initiation of the cyclin D1 and c-MYC mRNAs, resulting in the maintenance of their protein expression levels. Here, we show that both genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of SAPK2/p38 in glioblastoma multiforme cells significantly reduces rapamycin-induced IRES-mediated translation initiation of cyclin D1 and c-MYC, resulting in increased G(1) arrest in vitro and inhibition of tumor growth in xenografts. Moreover, we observed that the AKT-dependent signaling alterations seen in vitro are also displayed in engrafted tumors cells and were able to show that combined inhibitor treatments markedly reduced the mRNA translational state of cyclin D1 and c-MYC transcripts in tumors isolated from mice. These data support the combined use of SAPK2/p38 and mTORC1 inhibitors to achieve a synergistic antitumor therapeutic response, particularly in rapamycin-resistant quiescent AKT-containing cells.
