Downregulation of p300 gene expression in airway mesenchyme of nitrofen-induced hypoplastic lungs.

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
purposeCongenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a relatively common developmental abnormality causing life-threatening respiratory distress at birth. The nitrofen model has been widely used to investigate the pathogenesis of hypoplastic lungs associated with CDH. Embryos lacking p300 and CBP genes are significantly smaller in lung formation. We hypothesized that pulmonary gene expression of p300 and CBP is downregulated during late gestation in the nitrofen-induced CDH model.
methodsTime-pregnant rats were treated with either nitrofen or vehicle on gestational day 9 (D9). Fetal lungs were harvested on D18 and D21 (n = 8 at each time point). Pulmonary gene expression of p300 and CBP was analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. Immunohistochemistry was performed to investigate expression and localization of pulmonary p300 and CBP proteins.
resultsRelative mRNA expression levels of p300 were significantly decreased in nitrofen-induced hypoplastic lungs on D18 compared to controls (3.00 ± 0.20 vs. 3.76 ± 0.14; p = 0.0039), while CBP levels were not altered. p300 immunoreactivity was markedly diminished in surrounding mesenchymal compartments and nuclei of proximal and distal airway cells, while CBP expression was not altered.
conclusionDownregulation of p300 gene expression during the early canalicular stage may disrupt epithelial-mesenchymal signaling interactions, contributing to the development of hypoplastic lungs in the nitrofen-induced CDH model.
