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

aimIn the penumbra after focal cerebral ischemia, an increase of protease Omi is linked to a decrease of Hs1-associated protein X-1 (Hax-1), a protein belonging to the Bcl-2 family. In this study we investigated the mechanisms underlying the regulation of Hax-1 by protease Omi in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.

methodsMouse neuroblastoma N2a cells were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R); cell viability was assessed with MTT assay. Mice underwent 2-h middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and reperfusion, and the infarct volume was determined with TTC staining. The expression of Omi and Hax-1 was detected using immunoblot and immunofluorescence assays. The mitochondrial membrane potential was measured using TMRM staining.

resultsIn the brains of MCAO mice, the protein level of Omi was significantly increased, while the protein level of Hax-1 was decreased. Similar changes were observed in OGD/R-treated N2a cells, but the mRNA level of Hax-1 was not changed. Furthermore, in OGD/R-treated N2a cells, knockdown of Omi significantly increased Hax-1 protein level. Immunofluorescence assay showed that Omi and Hax-1 were co-localized in mitochondria of N2a cells. OGD/R caused marked mitochondrial damage and apoptosis in N2a cells, while inhibition of Omi protease activity with UCF-101 (10 μmol/L) or overexpression of Hax-1 could restore the mitochondrial membrane potential and attenuate cell apoptosis. Moreover, pretreatment of MCAO mice with UCF-101 (7.15 mg/kg, ip) could restore Hax-1 expression, inhibit caspase activation, and significantly reduce the infarct volume.

conclusionProtease Omi impairs mitochondrial function by cleaving Hax-1, which induces apoptosis in OGD/R-treated N2a cells and causes I/R injury in MCAO mice.
