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

HIF-1α overexpression is associated with radio-resistance of various cancers. A radioresistant human melanoma cell model MDA-MB-435R (435R) was established by us previously. Compared with the parental cells MDA-MB‑435 (435S), an elevated level of HIF-1α expression in 435R cells was demonstrated in our recent experiments. Therefore, in the current study, we sought to determine whether selective HIF-1α inhibitors could radiosensitize the 435R cells to X-ray, and to identify the potential mechanisms. Our data demonstrated that inhibition of HIF-1α with 2-methoxyestradiol (2-MeOE2) significantly enhanced radiosensitivity of 435R cells. 2-MeOE2 increased DNA damage and ratio of apoptosis cells induced by irradiation. Whereas, cell proliferation and the expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1) were decreased after 2-MeOE2 treatment. The change of expression of GLUT1, LDHA and the cellular ATP level and extracellular lactate production indicates that 2-MeOE2 suppressed glycolytic state of 435R cells. In addition, the radioresistance, glycolytic state and cell proliferation of 435R cells were also decreased after inhibiting pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1) with dichloroacetate (DCA). DCA could also increase DNA damage and ratio of apoptotic cells induced by irradiation. These results also suggest that inhibition of HIF-1α with 2-MeOE2 sensitizes radioresistant melanoma cells 435R to X-ray irradiation through targeting the glycolysis that is regulated by PDK1. Selective inhibitors of HIF-1α and glycolysis are potential drugs to enhance radio-sensitivity of melanoma cells.
