Lipopolysaccharide-induced NF-κB nuclear translocation is primarily dependent on MyD88, but TNFα expression requires TRIF and MyD88.

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

TLR4 signalling through the MyD88 and TRIF-dependent pathways initiates translocation of the transcription factor NF-κB into the nucleus. In cell population studies using mathematical modeling and functional analyses, Cheng et al. suggested that LPS-driven activation of MyD88, in the absence of TRIF, impairs NF-κB translocation. We tested the model proposed by Cheng et al. using real-time single cell analysis in macrophages expressing EGFP-tagged p65 and a TNFα promoter-driven mCherry. Following LPS stimulation, cells lacking TRIF show a pattern of NF-κB dynamics that is unaltered from wild-type cells, but activation of the TNFα promoter is impaired. In macrophages lacking MyD88, there is minimal NF-κB translocation to the nucleus in response to LPS stimulation, and there is no activation of the TNFα promoter. These findings confirm that signalling through MyD88 is the primary driver for LPS-dependent NF-κB translocation to the nucleus. The pattern of NF-κB dynamics in TRIF-deficient cells does not, however, directly reflect the kinetics of TNFα promoter activation, supporting the concept that TRIF-dependent signalling plays an important role in the transcription of this cytokine.
