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

Regulation of mRNA decay is an important mechanism controlling gene expression. Steady state levels of mRNAs can be markedly altered by changes in the decay rate. The control of mRNA stability depends on sequences in the transcript itself and on RNA-binding proteins that dynamically bind to these sequences. A well characterized sequence motif, which has been shown to be present in many short-lived mRNAs, is the de-stabilizing adenylate/uridylate-rich element (ARE) located at the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of mRNAs. HuR is an RNA-binding protein, which binds to AREs and in doing so, increases the half-life and steady state levels of the corresponding mRNA. Using tissue microarray technology, we found that HuR is over-expressed in human gliomas. We also found that there is a change in HuR localization from being solely in the nucleus to being expressed at high levels in the cytosol. Moreover, a positive correlation was found between total HuR levels, cytosolic localization and tumor grade. We also studied the decay rate of several HuR target mRNAs and found that these mRNAs have a slower rate of decay in glioma cell lines than in astrocytes. Finally, we have been able to decrease both the stability and steady state level of these transcripts in glioma cells using an RNA decoy. More importantly, the decoy transfected cells and cells exposed to a HuR inhibitor have reduced cell growth. In addition, pharmacological inhibition of HuR also resulted in glioma cell growth inhibition. In conclusion, our data suggest that post-transcriptional control abnormalities mediated by HuR are necessary to sustain the rapid growth of this devastating type of cancer.
