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

During development, ventricular chamber maturation is a crucial step in the formation of a functionally competent postnatal heart. Defects in this process can lead to left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy and heart failure. However, molecular mechanisms underlying ventricular chamber development remain incompletely understood. Neddylation is a posttranslational modification that attaches ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 to protein targets via NEDD8-specific E1-E2-E3 enzymes. Here, we report that neddylation is temporally regulated in the heart and plays a key role in cardiac development. Cardiomyocyte-specific knockout of NAE1, a subunit of the E1 neddylation activating enzyme, significantly decreased neddylated proteins in the heart. Mice lacking NAE1 developed myocardial hypoplasia, ventricular noncompaction, and heart failure at late gestation, which led to perinatal lethality. NAE1 deletion resulted in dysregulation of cell cycle-regulatory genes and blockade of cardiomyocyte proliferation in vivo and in vitro, which was accompanied by the accumulation of the Hippo kinases Mst1 and LATS1/2 and the inactivation of the YAP pathway. Furthermore, reactivation of YAP signaling in NAE1-inactivated cardiomyocytes restored cell proliferation, and YAP-deficient hearts displayed a noncompaction phenotype, supporting an important role of Hippo-YAP signaling in NAE1-depleted hearts. Mechanistically, we found that neddylation regulates Mst1 and LATS2 degradation and that Cullin 7, a NEDD8 substrate, acts as the ubiquitin ligase of Mst1 to enable YAP signaling and cardiomyocyte proliferation. Together, these findings demonstrate a role for neddylation in heart development and, more specifically, in the maturation of ventricular chambers and also identify the NEDD8 substrate Cullin 7 as a regulator of Hippo-YAP signaling.
