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

Stem cells have high potential for cell therapy in regenerative medicine. We previously isolated stem cell types from human amniotic fluid, derived from prenatal amniocentesis. One type, characterized by a fast doubling time, was designated as fast human amniotic stem cells (fHASCs). These cells exhibited high differentiation potential and immunoregulatory properties. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid metabolite that influences stem-cell pluripotency, differentiation, mobility, and regulates immune functions. In this study, we investigated the influence of S1P on fHASC migration, proliferation, differentiation and immune regulatory functions. We found that fHASC stimulation with S1P potentiated their migratory and proliferative activity in vitro. Notably, short fHASC exposure to S1P enhanced their differentiation towards multiple lineages, including adipocytes, osteocytes and endothelial cells, an effect that was associated with downregulation of the main transcription factors involved in the maintenance of a stem-cell undifferentiated state. A specific crosstalk between S1P and tumor growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) has recently been demonstrated. We found that fHASC exposure to S1P in combination with TGF-β1 promoted the expression of the immune regulatory pathway of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1). In addition, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, co-cultured with fHASCs treated with S1P and TGF-β1, expanded regulatory T-cells, via a mechanism requiring IDO1. Overall, this study demonstrates that S1P potentiates several properties in fHASCs, an effect that may be critical for exploiting the therapeutic potential of fHASCs and might explain the specific effects of S1P on stem cells during pregnancy.
