Knockdown of LETM1 inhibits proliferation and metastasis of human renal cell carcinoma cells.

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
The leucine zipper-EF-hand containing transmembrane protein 1 (LETM1) has been reported to serve an important role in a number of human malignancies and is correlated with poor prognosis. However, little is known about the role of LETM1 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In the present study, the expression levels of LETM1 were investigated in RCC cell lines (Caki-1, 786-O, OS-RC-2, A498 and ACHN) and the HK-2 normal human renal tubular epithelial cell line. Short interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to knock down the expression of LETM1 in 786-O and A498 cells. The results indicated that the constitutive expression of LETM1 was notably upregulated in RCC cell lines. Knockdown of LETM1 significantly decreased cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Mechanistically, it was revealed that the knockdown of LETM1 expression sharply downregulated the protein expression of β-Catenin, Cyclin D1 and c-Myc in 786-O and A498 cells. In conclusion, these results suggest that knockdown of LETM1 exhibits tumor suppressive effects, at least in part by controlling the downstream Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway. Therefore, LETM1 may act as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of RCC.
