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

background and purposeThe proteasome is a multi-subunit complex that proteolytically cleaves proteins. The replacement of the constitutive proteasome subunits β1, β2, and/or β5 with the IFNγ-inducible subunits LMP2, MECL1, and/or LMP7 results in the 'immunoproteasome'. The inducible subunits change the cleavage specificities of the proteasome, but it is unclear whether they have functions in addition to this. The purpose of the present study was to determine the role of the proteasome in general, as well as LMP7 and MECL1 specifically, with regard to cytokine production by activated primary splenocytes.

methodsA LMP7/MECL1-null mouse was engineered to determine the roles of these subunits in cytokine production. Isolated splenocytes from wild-type and LMP7/MECL1-/- mice were treated with lactacystin and activated with PMA and ionomycin and subsequently cytokine mRNA levels were quantified.

resultsThe present study demonstrates that LMP7/MECL1 regulates the expression of IFNγ, IL4, IL10, IL2Rβ, GATA3, and t-bet. In contrast, the regulation of IL2, IL13, TNFα, and IL2Rα by the proteasome appears to occur independently of LMP7/MECL1.

conclusionsCollectively, the present study demonstrates that LMP7 and MECL1 regulate cytokine expression, suggesting this system represents a novel mechanism for the regulation of cytokines and cytokine signaling.
