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

Mice deficient in regulator of G-protein signaling-2 (RGS2) have severe hypertension, and RGS2 genetic variations occur in hypertensive humans. A potentially important negative feedback loop in blood pressure homeostasis is that angiotensin II (Ang II) increases vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) RGS2 expression. We reported that Group VIA phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)β) is required for this response (Xie, Z., Gong, M. C., Su, W., Turk, J., and Guo, Z. (2007) J. Biol. Chem. 282, 25278-25289), but the specific molecular causes and consequences of iPLA(2)β activation are not known. Here we demonstrate that both protein kinases C (PKC) and A (PKA) participate in Ang II-induced VSMC RGS2 mRNA up-regulation, and that actions of PKC and PKA precede and follow iPLA(2)β activation, respectively. Moreover, we identified a conserved cAMP-response element (CRE) in the murine RGS2 promoter that is critical for cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB) binding and RGS2 promoter activation. Forskolin-stimulated RGS2 mRNA up-regulation is inhibited by CREB sequestration or specific disruption of the CREB-RGS2 promoter interaction, and Ang II-induced CREB phosphorylation and nuclear localization are blocked by iPLA(2)β pharmacologic inhibition or genetic ablation. Ang II-induced intracellular cyclic AMP accumulation precedes CREB phosphorylation and is diminished by inhibiting iPLA(2), cyclooxygenase, or lipoxygenase. Moreover, three single nucleotide polymorphisms identified in hypertensive patients are located in the human RGS2 promoter CREB binding site. Point mutations corresponding to these single nucleotide polymorphisms interfere with stimulation of human RGS2 promoter activity by forskolin. Our studies thus delineate a negative feedback loop to attenuate Ang II signaling in VSMC with potential importance in blood pressure homeostasis and the pathogenesis of human essential hypertension.
