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

aimsCellular senescence and its secretory phenotype (senescence-associated secretory phenotype [SASP]) develop after long-term expansion of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Further investigation of this phenotype is required to improve the therapeutic efficacy of MSC-based cell therapies. In this study, we show that positive feedback between SASP and inherent senescence processes plays a crucial role in the senescence of umbilical cord blood-derived MSCs (UCB-MSCs).

resultsWe found that monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) was secreted as a dominant component of the SASP during expansion of UCB-MSCs and reinforced senescence via its cognate receptor chemokine (c-c motif) receptor 2 (CCR2) by activating the ROS-p38-MAPK-p53/p21 signaling cascade in both an autocrine and paracrine manner. The activated p53 in turn increased MCP-1 secretion, completing a feed-forward loop that triggered the senescence program in UCB-MSCs. Accordingly, knockdown of CCR2 in UCB-MSCs significantly improved their therapeutic ability to alleviate airway inflammation in an experimental allergic asthma model. Moreover, BMI1, a polycomb protein, repressed the expression of MCP-1 by binding to its regulatory elements. The reduction in BMI1 levels during UCB-MSC senescence altered the epigenetic status of MCP-1, including the loss of H2AK119Ub, and resulted in derepression of MCP-1. INNOVATION: Our results provide the first evidence supporting the existence of the SASP as a causative contributor to UCB-MSC senescence and reveal a so far unappreciated link between epigenetic regulation and SASP for maintaining a stable senescent phenotype.

conclusionSenescence of UCB-MSCs is orchestrated by MCP-1, which is secreted as a major component of the SASP and is epigenetically regulated by BMI1.
