Activation of AMPK inhibits TGF-β1-induced airway smooth muscle cells proliferation and its potential mechanisms.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers.
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.
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
The aims of the present study were to examine signaling mechanisms underlying transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)-induced airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) proliferation and to determine the effect of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation on TGF-β1-induced ASMCs proliferation and its potential mechanisms. TGF-β1 reduced microRNA-206 (miR-206) level by activating Smad2/3, and this in turn up-regulated histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) and consequently increased cyclin D1 protein leading to ASMCs proliferation. Prior incubation of ASMCs with metformin induced AMPK activation and blocked TGF-β1-induced cell proliferation. Activation of AMPK slightly attenuated TGF-β1-induced miR-206 suppression, but dramatically suppressed TGF-β1-caused HDAC4 up-expression and significantly increased HDAC4 phosphorylation finally leading to reduction of up-regulated cyclin D1 protein expression. Our study suggests that activation of AMPK modulates miR-206/HDAC4/cyclin D1 signaling pathway, particularly targeting on HDAC4, to suppress ASMCs proliferation and therefore has a potential value in the prevention and treatment of asthma by alleviating airway remodeling.
