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

Epigenetic regulators have been shown to influence breast cancer progression. However, the detailed mechanism by which TET2 plays the suppressive role in tumorigenesis remains not completely understood. We employed RT-qPCR and westernblot to examine genes expression. Next, the bisulphite sequencing PCR was used to determine the methylation level at CASP4 promoter in the cells. Phenotypically, we utilized growth curve analysis, colony formation in soft agar and xenograft tumor assay to assess tumorigenesis of MCF-7 cell. We found that TET2 knockout enhanced colony formation ability and in vivo tumor formation ability of MCF-7 cell, whereas TET2 depletion not affected the growth rate of MCF-7 cell in the culture. Mechanistically, TET2 loss led to a significant decrease in caspase-4 expression possibly via increasing DNA methylation of CASP4 promoter in MCF-7 cell. To validate, TET2 overexpression led to higher level of caspase-4 in MDA-MB-231 and 293T cells, which was dependent on TET2 enzymatic activity. Finally, we observed that caspase-4 could revert, at least partially, TET2 deletion-induced tumorigenesis of MCF-7. In summary, we reveal a novel mechanism that TET2 suppresses tumorigenesis of breast cancer cells through caspase-4. Our findings will facilitate development of new diagnostic markers or therapeutical therapies for breast cancer.
