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

Cells of hematopoietic origin express high levels of the immunoproteasome, a cytokine-inducible proteasome variant comprising the proteolytic subunits LMP2 (β1i), MECL-1 (β2i), and LMP7 (β5i). Targeting the immunoproteasome in pre-clinical models of autoimmune diseases with the epoxyketone inhibitor ONX 0914 has proven to be effective. ONX 0914 was previously described as a selective LMP7 inhibitor. Here, we show that PRN1126, developed as an exclusively LMP7-specific inhibitor, has limited effects on IL-6 secretion, experimental colitis, and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). We demonstrate that prolonged exposure of cells with ONX 0914 leads to inhibition of both LMP7 and LMP2. Co-inhibition of LMP7 and LMP2 with PRN1126 and LMP2 inhibitors LU-001i or ML604440 impairs MHC class I cell surface expression, IL-6 secretion, and differentiation of naïve T helper cells to T helper 17 cells, and strongly ameliorates disease in experimental colitis and EAE. Hence, co-inhibition of LMP2 and LMP7 appears to be synergistic and advantageous for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
