Combination Nanopreparations of a Novel Proapoptotic Drug - NCL-240, TRAIL and siRNA.
Article in Pharmaceutical research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
purposeTo develop a multifunctional nanoparticle system carrying a combination of pro-apoptotic drug, NCL-240, TRAIL [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand] and anti-survivin siRNA and to test the combination preparation for anti-cancer effects in different cancer cells.
methodsPolyethylene glycol-phosphoethanolamine (PEG-PE) - based polymeric micelles were prepared carrying NCL-240. These micelles were used in combination with TRAIL-conjugated micelles and anti-survivin siRNA-S-S-PE containing micelles. All the micelles were characterized for size, zeta potential, and drug encapsulation efficiency. Different cancer cells were used to study the cytotoxicity potential of the individual as well as the combination formulations. Other cell based assays included cellular association studies of transferrin-targeted NCL-240 micelles and study of cellular survivin protein downregulation by anti-survivin siRNA-S-S-PE containing micelles.
resultsNCL-240 micelles and the combination NCL-240/TRAIL micelles significantly increased cytotoxicity in the resistant strains of SKOV-3, MCF-7 and A549 as compared to free drugs or single drug formulations. The NCL-240/TRAIL micelles were also more effective in NCI/ADR-RES cancer cell spheroids. Anti-survivin siRNA micelles alone displayed a dose-dependent reduction in survivin protein levels in A2780 cells. Treatment with NCL-240/TRAIL after pre-incubation with anti-survivin siRNA inhibited cancer cell proliferation. Additionally, a single multifunctional system composed of NCL-240/TRAIL/siRNA PM also had significant cytotoxic effects in vitro in multiple cell lines.
conclusionThese results demonstrate the efficacy of a combination of small-molecule PI3K inhibitors, TRAIL, and siRNA delivered by micellar preparations in multiple cancer cell lines.
