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

FOXP3 is the transcription factor ruling regulatory T cell function and maintenance of peripheral immune tolerance, and mutations in its coding gene causes IPEX autoimmune syndrome. FOXP3 is also a cell-cycle inhibitor and onco-suppressor in different cell types. In this work, we investigate the effect of ectopic FOXP3 expression on HSC differentiation and we challenged this approach as a possible HSC-based gene therapy for IPEX. FOXP3-expressing HSC showed reduced proliferation ability and increased maintenance of primitive markers in vitro in both liquid and OP9-ΔL1 co-cultures. When transplanted into immunodeficient mice, FOXP3-expressing HSC showed significantly enhanced engraftment ability. This was due to a pronounced increase in the frequency of repopulating cells, as assessed by extreme limiting dilution assay. Likely underlying the increased repopulating ability, FOXP3 expressing HSC showed significantly enhanced expression of genes controlling stemness features. However, peripheral T cells developed in the FOXP3-humanized mice were quantitatively reduced and hyporesponsive to cytokine and polyclonal stimulation. Our findings reveal unpredicted effects of FOXP3 in the biology of HSC and may provide new tools to manipulate primitive features in HSC for clinical applications. Moreover, they formally prove the need of preserving endogenous FOXP3 regulation for an HSC-based gene therapy approach for IPEX syndrome.
