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

Tumor metastasis represents the main causes of cancer-related death. Our recent study showed that chemokine CCL18 secreted from tumor-associated macrophages regulates breast tumor metastasis, but the underlying mechanisms remain less clear. Here, we show that ARF6 GTPase-activating protein ACAP4 regulates CCL18-elicited breast cancer cell migration via the acetyltransferase PCAF-mediated acetylation. CCL18 stimulation elicited breast cancer cell migration and invasion via PCAF-dependent acetylation. ACAP4 physically interacts with PCAF and is a cognate substrate of PCAF during CCL18 stimulation. The acetylation site of ACAP4 by PCAF was mapped to Lys311 by mass spectrometric analyses. Importantly, dynamic acetylation of ACAP4 is essential for CCL18-induced breast cancer cell migration and invasion, as overexpression of the persistent acetylation-mimicking or non-acetylatable ACAP4 mutant blocked CCL18-elicited cell migration and invasion. Mechanistically, the acetylation of ACAP4 at Lys311 reduced the lipid-binding activity of ACAP4 to ensure a robust and dynamic cycling of ARF6-ACAP4 complex with plasma membrane in response to CCL18 stimulation. Thus, these results present a previously undefined mechanism by which CCL18-elicited acetylation of the PH domain controls dynamic interaction between ACAP4 and plasma membrane during breast cancer cell migration and invasion.
