Role of protease inhibitor 9 in survival and replication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in mononuclear phagocytes from HIV-1-infected patients.

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
OBJECTIVE AND
designPredisposition to opportunistic infections by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is a concomitant of HIV-1 infection and occurrence of tuberculosis is independent of circulating CD4(+) T-cell count in HIV-1-infected patients. Infection of mononuclear phagocytes from healthy individuals by virulent MTB is associated with expression of the antiapoptotic molecule protease inhibitor 9 (PI-9), and PI-9 contributes to successful parasitism of macrophages by MTB. Here we studied the contribution of PI-9 to successful MTB infection of monocytes from HIV-1-infected patients.
methodsBlood monocytes obtained from HAART-treated HIV-1-infected patients (HIV+) and healthy controls were assessed for support of MTB H37Rv growth by assessment of MTB 16S ribosomal (r)RNA in cell lysates on day 1 and day 7 by real-time reverse transcription-PCR. PI-9 expression in monocyte cell lysates was assessed by ELISA and by reverse transcription-PCR. Inhibition of intracellular PI-9 was achieved by siRNA to PI-9 and compared to control constructs.
resultsMonocytes from HIV-infected patients supported higher MTB growth [MTB 16S rRNA (d7/d1)] as compared with monocytes from healthy controls. Both PI-9 protein and mRNA were significantly higher in monocytes from HIV-infected patients as compared with healthy controls. PI-9 protein levels prior to MTB infection correlated with MTB replication on day 7, and with plasma soluble CD14 levels. Silencing of PI-9 by transfection of monocytes from HIV-1-infected patients with PI-9-specific siRNA prior to infection improved intracellular containment of MTB.
conclusionIncreased intracellular PI-9 activity in mononuclear phagocytes from HIV-infected patients contributes to successful intracellular infection by virulent MTB.
