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

Steroid refractory inflammation is an unmet medical need in the management of inflammatory diseases. Thus, mechanisms, improving steroid sensitivity and simultaneously decreasing inflammation have potential therapeutic utility. The FK506-binding protein 51 (FKBP51) is reported to influence steroid sensitivity in mental disorders. Moreover, biochemical data highlight a connection between FKBP51 and the IKK complex. The aim of this study was to elucidate whether FKBP51 inhibition had utility in modulating steroid resistant inflammation by increasing the sensitivity of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signalling and simultaneously inhibiting NFκB-driven inflammation. We have demonstrated that FKBP51 silencing in a bronchial epithelial cell line resulted in a 10-fold increased potency for dexamethasone towards IL1beta-induced IL6 and IL8, whilst FKBP51 over-expression of FKBP51 reduced significantly the prednisolone sensitivity in a murine HDM-driven pulmonary inflammation model. Immunoprecipitation experiments with anti-FKBP51 antibodies, confirmed the presence of FKBP51 in a complex comprising Hsp90, GR and members of the IKK family. FKBP51 silencing reduced NFκB (p50/p65) nucleus translocation, resulting in reduced ICAM expression, cytokine and chemokine secretion. In conclusion, we demonstrate that FKBP51 has the potential to control inflammation in steroid insensitive patients in a steroid-dependent and independent manner and thus may be worthy of further study as a drug target.
