Accumulation of p53 via down-regulation of UBE2D family genes is a critical pathway for cadmium-induced renal toxicity.

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
Chronic cadmium (Cd) exposure can induce renal toxicity. In Cd renal toxicity, p53 is thought to be involved. Our previous studies showed that Cd down-regulated gene expression of the UBE2D (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2D) family members. Here, we aimed to define the association between UBE2D family members and p53-dependent apoptosis in human proximal tubular cells (HK-2 cells) treated with Cd. Cd increased intracellular p53 protein levels and decreased UBE2D2 and UBE2D4 gene expression via inhibition of YY1 and FOXF1 transcription factor activities. Double knockdown of UBE2D2 and UBE2D4 caused an increase in p53 protein levels, and knockdown of p53 attenuated not only Cd-induced apoptosis, but also Cd-induced apoptosis-related gene expression (BAX and PUMA). Additionally, the mice exposed to Cd for 6 months resulted in increased levels of p53 and induction of apoptosis in proximal tubular cells. These findings suggest that down-regulation of UBE2D family genes followed by accumulation of p53 in proximal tubular cells is an important mechanism for Cd-induced renal toxicity.
