Polarized Secretion of Extracellular Vesicles by Mammary Epithelia.

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
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are secreted by many cell types and are increasingly investigated for their role in human diseases including cancer. Here we focus on the secretion and potential physiological function of non-pathological EVs secreted by polarized normal mammary epithelial cells. Using a transwell system to allow formation of epithelial polarity and EV collection from the apical versus basolateral compartments, we found that impaired secretion of EVs by knockdown of RAB27A or RAB27B suppressed the establishment of mammary epithelial polarity, and that addition of apical but not basolateral EVs suppressed epithelial polarity in a dose-dependent manner. This suggests that apical EV secretion contributes to epithelial polarity, and a possible mechanism is through removal of certain intracellular molecules. In contrast, basolateral but not apical EVs promoted migration of mammary epithelial cells in a motility assay. The protein contents of apical and basolateral EVs from MCF10A and primary human mammary epithelial cells were determined by mass spectrometry proteomic analysis, identifying apical-EV-enriched and basolateral-EV-enriched proteins that may contribute to different physiological functions. Most of these proteins differentially secreted by normal mammary epithelial cells through polarized EV release no longer showed polarized secretion in MCF10A-derived transformed epithelial cells. Our results suggest an essential role of EV secretion in normal mammary epithelial polarization and distinct protein contents and functions in apical versus basolateral EVs secreted by polarized mammary epithelia.
