Inhibitory effect and mechanism of mesenchymal stem cells on liver cancer cells.
Article in Tumour biology : the journal of the International Society for Oncodevelopmental Biology and Medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers.
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.
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
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with their capacity for self-renewal and differentiation into various cell types, are important seed cells for stem cell therapy. MSCs exhibit potent pathotropic migratory properties that make them attractive for use in tumor prevention and therapy. However, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms that link MSCs to the targeted tumor cells. This study investigated the inhibitory effect and mechanism of MSCs on human hepatoma HepG2 cells using co-culture and conditioned medium system and animal transplantation model. The HepG2 cells were co-cultured with MSCs or treated with conditional media derived from MSCs cultures in vitro. Results of methylthiazolyldiphenyl tetrazolium assay and flow cytometric assay showed that the proliferation and apoptosis of HepG2 cells decreased and increased, respectively. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that the expression levels of bcl-2, c-Myc, β-catenin, and survivin were downregulated. The results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot proved that MSCs secreted Dkk-1 to inhibit the expression of Wnt signaling pathway-related factors (bcl-2, c-Myc, β-catenin, and survivin) in tumor cells, consequently inhibiting the proliferation and promoting the apoptosis of HepG2 cells. Animal transplantation experiment showed that tumor growth was significantly inhibited when HepG2 cells were co-injected with MSCs into nude mice. These results suggested that MSCs inhibited the growth and promoted the apoptosis of HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. This study provided a new approach and experimental basis for cancer therapy. This study also proved that the Wnt signaling pathway may have a function in MSC-mediated tumor cell inhibition.
