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

Aberrant expression of FOXN2, a member of the Forkhead box transcription factors, has been found in several types of cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms of FOXN2 deregulation in tumorigenesis remain largely unknown. Here, we find that FOXN2 binds to and is ubiquitinated by β-Trcp ubiquitin ligase and RSK2 kinase for degradation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the Ser365 and Ser369 sites in a conserved DSGYAS motif are critical for the degradation of FOXN2 by β-Trcp and RSK2. Moreover, gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies show that FOXN2 impairs cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo and enhances the radiosensitivity of lung cancer. Importantly, β-Trcp-mediated and RSK2-mediated degradation of FOXN2 promotes tumorigenesis and radioresistance in lung cancer cells. Collectively, our study reveals a novel post-translational modification of FOXN2 and suggests that FOXN2 may be a potential therapeutic and radiosensitization target for lung cancer.
