Decitabine shows potent anti-myeloma activity by depleting monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the myeloma microenvironment.

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
purposeMultiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable. The MM microenvironment supports MM cells' survival and immune escape. Because myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) is important in the MM microenvironment, and demethylating agent decitabine (DAC) can deplete MDSCs in vitro and in vivo, we hypothesized that DAC treatment could inhibit MM by depleting MDSCs in the MM microenvironment.
methodsIn this study, we used the mouse IL6 secreting, myeloma cell line MPC11 as a model. MDSCs were sorted using magnetic beads and cultured. A transwell coculture assay was used to mimic the microenvironment in vitro. And MPC11-bearing mice model was used to observe the efficacy of DAC treatment in vivo.
resultsIn vitro coculture assay indicated that MPC11 cells showed significantly lower proliferation rate, less IL6 production and more apoptosis when they were cocultured with bone marrow cells without MDSCs (nonMDSCs) or DAC-treated bone marrow cells (DAC BMs) than with MDSCs or PBS-treated bone marrow cells (CTR BM). Supplementation with M-MDSCs rescued the inhibitory effect of DAC BMs, while additional NOHA supplementation further antagonized the rescue effect of M-MDSCs. In MPC11-bearing mice, the combined treatment of DAC with anti-Gr1 antibody showed synergistic effect on inhibiting tumor growth and promoting T cell infiltration in the tumor tissue. M-MDSC reinfusion also antagonized the efficacy of DAC treatment.
conclusionsDAC treatment can inhibit myeloma cell proliferation and induce enhanced autologous T cell immune response by depleting M-MDSCs in the MM microenvironment. We believe that DAC treatment could improve the prognosis of MM in future.
