Kinome-level screening identifies inhibition of polo-like kinase-1 (PLK1) as a target for enhancing non-viral transgene expression.

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
Human cells contain hundreds of kinase enzymes that regulate several cellular processes, which likely include transgene delivery and expression. We identified several kinases that influence gene delivery and/or expression by performing a kinome-level screen in which, we identified small-molecule kinase inhibitors that significantly enhanced non-viral (polymer-mediated) transgene (luciferase) expression in cancer cells. The strongest enhancement was observed with several small-molecule inhibitors of Polo-like Kinase 1 (PLK 1) (e.g., HMN-214 and BI 2536), which enhanced luciferase expression up to 30-fold by arresting cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle and influencing intracellular trafficking of plasmid DNA. Knockdown of PLK 1 using an shRNA-expressing lentivirus further confirmed the enhancement of polymer-mediated transgene expression. In addition, pairwise and three-way combinations of PLK1 inhibitors with the histone deacetylase-1 (HDAC-1) inhibitor Entinostat and the JAK/STAT inhibitor AG-490 enhanced luciferase expression to levels significantly higher than individual drug treatments acting alone. These findings indicate that inhibition of specific intracellular kinases (e.g., PLK1) can significantly enhance non-viral transgene expression for applications in biotechnology and medicine.
