Fumonisin B1 Inhibits Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Associated-apoptosis After FoscanPDT Combined with C6-Pyridinium Ceramide or Fenretinide.
Article in Anticancer research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND/
aimCombining an anticancer agent fenretinide (HPR) or C6-pyridinium ceramide (LCL29) with Foscan-mediated photodynamic therapy (FoscanPDT) is expected to augment anticancer benefits of each substance. We showed that treatment with FoscanPDT+HPR enhanced accumulation of C16-dihydroceramide, and that fumonisin B1 (FB), an inhibitor of ceramide synthase, counteracted caspase-3 activation and colony-forming ability of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells. Because cancer cells appear to be more susceptible to increased levels of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress than normal cells, herein we tested the hypothesis that FoscanPDT combined with HPR or LCL29 induces FB-sensitive ER stress-associated apoptosis that affects cell survival. MATERIALS AND
methodsUsing an HNSCC cell line, we determined: cell survival by clonogenic assay, caspase-3 activity by spectrofluorometry, the expression of the ER markers BiP and CHOP by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western immunoblotting, and sphingolipid levels by mass spectrometry.
resultsSimilar to HPR+FoscanPDT, LCL29+FoscanPDT induced enhanced loss of clonogenicity and caspase-3 activation, that were both inhibited by FB. Our additional pharmacological evidence showed that the enhanced loss of clonogenicity after the combined treatments was singlet oxygen-, ER stress- and apoptosis-dependent. The combined treatments induced enhanced, FB-sensitive, up-regulation of BiP and CHOP, as well as enhanced accumulation of sphingolipids.
conclusionOur data suggest that enhanced clonogenic cell killing after the combined treatments is dependent on oxidative- and ER-stress, apoptosis, and FB-sensitive sphingolipid production, and should help develop more effective mechanism-based therapeutic strategies.
