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

Trastuzumab is an antibody-based therapy drug targeting HER2-overexpressing tumors. While it has been proven to be very successful initially, most patients eventually develop resistance to trastuzumab. The mechanism of drug resistance is not well understood. Identifying pathways that mediate trastuzumab resistance will improve our understanding of the underlying mechanism and is crucial for the development of therapeutic strategies to overcome resistance.Here we report a quantitative proteomics profiling of a trastuzumab-sensitive (T-S) gastric cancer cell line NCI N87 and a trastuzumab-resistant NCI N87 (T-R) subline generated by low-dose, continuous trastuzumab treatment. By identifying proteins differentially expressed in these two cell lines, we show that multiple pathways including mTOR, Wnt, DNA damage response and metabolic pathways are significantly altered. We further confirm by western blotting that protein levels of multiple components of the mTOR pathway, including mTOR, AKT and RPS6KB1, are increased, whereas AKT1S1 is decreased, suggesting the activation of mTOR pathway. Importantly, treatment of AZD8055, an mTOR inhibitor, leads to the decreased phosphorylation levels of mTOR downstream molecules RPS6KB1 at Thr421/Ser424 and AKT at Ser473. Furthermore, AZD8055 also preferentially reduces viability, and inhibits migration and invasion abilities of the T-R cells. Together, our findings indicate that mTOR pathway is among multiple signaling pathways that mediate trastuzumab resistance in NCI N87 T-R cells, and that mTOR inhibitors may be used to treat trastuzumab resistant, HER2-positive gastric cancer tumors.
