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

Murine double minute 2 (MDM2) is an E3-ubiquitin ligase critical for various biological functions. Previous data have revealed an indispensable role of MDM2 in kidney homeostasis. However, its role in glomerular mesangial cell (GMC) proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation during hyperglycemia condition remains unclear. In our present study, we found that MDM2 protein level was significantly upregulated in high glucose-treated GMCs, while knocking down MDM2 by siRNA could attenuate high glucose-induced ECM accumulation and GMCs proliferation. Unexpectedly, Nutlin-3a, a MDM2-p53 interaction blocker, had no benefit in protecting diabetic mice from renal impairment in vivo and in alleviating high glucose-induced ECM accumulation in vitro. Intriguingly, we found that Notch1 signaling activation was obviously attenuated by MDM2 depletion in GMCs with high glucose exposure. However, Numb, a substrate of MDM2 which suppresses Notch1 signaling, was found not to be involved in the MDM2 and Notch1 association. Moreover, our findings demonstrated that MDM2 interacted with Notch1 intracellular domain (NICD1) independent of Numb and regulated the ubiquitination status of NICD1. Collectively, our data propose a pivotal role of MDM2 in high glucose-induced GMC proliferation and ECM accumulation, via modulating the activation of Notch1 signaling pathway in an ubiquitination-dependent way.
