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

DNA demethylation catalysed by the ten-eleven translocation (TET) protein is an important step during extensive global epigenetic reprogramming in mammals. However, whether TET proteins play a key role in DNA demethylation during the development of bovine pre-implanted embryos is still unclear. In this study, we utilized dimethyloxallyl glycine (DMOG), a small-molecule inhibitor of the TET protein, to impede the enzymatic activity of TET and explore subsequent effects on bovine parthenogenetic embryo development. We first detected the expression of the TET family, consisting of TET1, TET2 and TET3, in bovine MII stage oocytes and found that TET3 is more highly expressed than TET1 and TET2. Treatment with 1 mM DMOG increased 5mC levels (30.4% vs 79.8% at the 8-cell stage for satellite I, 25.3% vs 40.6% at the 8-cell stage for α-satellite, 20.5% vs 73.5% at the blastocyst stage for satellite I and 16.6% vs 30.0% at the blastocyst stage for α-satellite) at every bovine parthenogenetic embryo developmental stage. At the same time, DNA methylation level of satellite DNA and pluripotency gene promoters increased significantly. Real-time PCR analysis results indicated that the transcription levels of NANOG and OCT-4 decreased in the DMOG-treated group. Furthermore, TET inhibition negatively affected blastocyst formation, resulting in a decline in the blastocyst rate (17.1 ± 1.3% vs 24.1 ± 0.6%); however, the percentage of apoptotic cells was significantly increased according to the results of a TUNEL assay. Additionally, expression levels of the apoptosis-related gene BAX were up-regulated, while the expression of BCL-2 was down-regulated. In conclusion, these results support that TET plays important roles in bovine parthenogenetic embryo development by influencing DNA methylation reprogramming, gene expression and apoptosis.
