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

Leukotriene D4 (LTD4) is an important immune inflammatory mediator that is known to be elevated in the mucosa of chronically inflamed intestine and alter nutrient absorption. LTD4 inhibits Na-alanine cotransport in intestinal epithelial cells by decreasing the affinity of the cotransporter ASCT1. LTD4 is known to increase intracellular Ca(++) and cAMP concentrations. However, the intracellular signaling mechanism of LTD4-mediated ASCT1 inhibition is unknown. In the present study, pretreatment with calcium chelator BAPTA-AM or inhibition of Ca(++)-dependent protein kinase C (PKC), specifically PKCα, resulted in the reversal of LTD4-mediated inhibition of ASCT1, revealing the involvement of the Ca(++)-activated PKC pathway. PKCα is known to phosphorylate Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP), thus activating its downstream signaling pathway. Immunoblotting with anti-RKIP-Ser(153) antibody showed an increase in phosphorylation levels of RKIP in LTD4-treated cells. Downregulation of endogenous RKIP showed no decrease in ASCT1 activity by LTD4, thus confirming its involvement in ASCT1 regulation. Phosphorylation of RKIP by PKC is known to activate different signaling pathways, and in this study it was found to activate cAMP-activated protein kinase A (PKA) pathway. Although protein abundance of ASCT1 was not altered in any of the experimental conditions, there was an increase in the levels of phosphothreonine in ASCT1 protein, thus showing that phosphorylation changes were responsible for the altered affinity of ASCT1 by LTD4. In conclusion, LTD4 inhibits ASCT1 through PKC-mediated phosphorylation of RKIP, leading to the subsequent activation of PKA pathway, possibly through β2-andrenergic receptor activation.
