Identification of genes in HepG2 cells that respond to DNA methylation and histone deacetylation inhibitor treatment.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Previous studies have demonstrated that epigenetics has an important role in the regulation of gene expression in cancer. Epigenetics is the study of reversible, heritable changes in gene function, which occur independently from changes in the DNA sequence. DNA methylation and histone deacetylation are the two most important epigenetic modifications. DNA methylation was one of the first discovered epigenetic modifications and it may lead to changes in chromatin structure, DNA conformation and DNA stability, thereby controlling gene expression. Sample data on the HepG2 cell line from the Gene Expression Omnibus database under GSE5230 accession number were obtained and GEOquery and the limma package were then used to analyze the data and identify differentially expressed genes using Gene Otology. This was conducted in order to investigate the effect on gene expression of inhibiting DNA methylation and histone deacetylation, and to explore the potential role of epigenetics in the development and treatment of hepatic carcinoma. It was found that inhibition of DNA methylation and histone deacetylation affected not only substance metabolism, but also the immune activity in HepG2 cells. Furthermore, common target sites for transcription factors were identified in the differentially expressed genes. It may be concluded that the inhibition of DNA methylation and histone deacetylation contributes to the treatment of hepatic carcinoma and may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of hepatic cancer.
