Estradiol promotes rapid degradation of HER3 in ER-positive breast cancer cell line MCF-7.
Article in Biochemistry and biophysics reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
HER3, a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase super family, is overexpressed in a number of cancers, and is associated with malignant phenotypes. Control of the protein stability of the membrane, as well as nuclear receptors, has been known to be an important process affecting tumor cells; however, their relationships have yet to be elucidated. In this study, we demonstrate that estradiol promotes rapid degradation of HER3 via the proteasome pathway in ER-positive breast cancer, MCF-7. ER prevented HER3 degradation, and knockdown of ER expression by si-RNA promoted rapid degradation of HER3. Breakdown of HER3 and ER were regulated by a ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-1 in the presence of estradiol stimulation. We speculate that estradiol quickly degrades ER, making HER3 accessible by Nedd4-1, and leads to the rapid degradation of HER3. In addition, knockdown of ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-1 enhances estradiol induced cell proliferation. These results indicate that HER3 and Nedd4-1 in ER-positive breast cancers might be an important therapeutic target.
