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

backgroundSecreted phospholipase A₂-IIA (sPLA₂-IIA) is an inducible enzyme released under several inflammatory conditions. It has been shown that sPLA₂-IIA is released from rat brain astrocytes after inflammatory stimulus, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and nitric oxide (NO) have been implicated in regulation of this release. Here, brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVECs) were treated with LPS to uncover whether sPLA₂-IIA was released, whether nitric oxide regulated this release, and any related signal mechanisms.

methodsSupernatants were collected from primary cultures of BMVECs. The release of sPLA2-IIA, and the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), phospho-JAK3, phospho-STAT1, total JAK3 and STAT1, β-actin, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were analyzed by Western blot or ELISA. NO production was calculated by the Griess reaction. sPLA₂ enzyme activity was measured with a fluorometric assay. Specific inhibitors of NO (L-NAME and aminoguanidine, AG), JAK3 (WHI-P154,WHI), STAT1 (fludarabine, Flu), and STAT1 siRNA were used to determine the involvement of these molecules in the LPS-induced release of sPLA₂-IIA from BMVECs. Nuclear STAT1 activation was tested with the EMSA method. The monolayer permeability of BMVECs was measured with a diffusion assay using biotinylated BSA.

resultsTreatment of BMVECs with LPS increased the release of sPLA₂-IIA and nitrite into the cell culture medium up to 24 h. Pretreatment with an NO donor, sodium nitroprusside, decreased LPS-induced sPLA₂-IIA release and sPLA₂ enzyme activity, and enhanced the expression of iNOS and nitrite generation after LPS treatment. Pretreatment with L-NAME, AG, WHI-P154, or Flu notably reduced the expression of iNOS and nitrite, but increased sPLA₂-IIA protein levels and sPLA₂ enzyme activity. In addition, pretreatment of the cells with STAT1 siRNA inhibited the phosphorylation of STAT1, iNOS expression, and nitrite production, and enhanced the release of sPLA₂-IIA. Pretreatment with the specific inhibitors of NOS, JAK₂, and STAT3 decreased the permeability of BMVECs. In contrast, inhibition of sPLA₂-IIA release increased cell permeability. These results suggest that sPLA₂-IIA expression is regulated by the NO-JAK3-STAT1 pathway. Importantly, sPLA₂-IIA augmentation could protect the LPS-induced permeability of BMVECs.

conclusionOur results demonstrate the important action of sPLA₂-IIA in the permeability of microvascular endothelial cells during brain inflammatory events. The sPLA₂ and NO pathways can be potential targets for the management of brain MVEC injuries and related inflammation.
