Knock-Down of HOXB8 Prohibits Proliferation and Migration of Colorectal Cancer Cells via Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
BACKGROUND There has been no research on the mechanism of HOXB8 action on colorectal cancer so far. This study was designed to investigate the mechanism of HOXB8 regulating colorectal cancer cell proliferation and invasion in vivo and in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS HOXB8 shRNA, HOXB8 overexpression, and negative control vector were designed and stably transfected into HCT116 cells. MTT assays were performed to detect cell proliferation. Western blot was utilized to detect HOXB8 expression level in HCT116 stable cells. The invasive and migration abilities were detected by Transwell assay and wound-healing assay. RESULTS HOXB8 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation. The invasiveness of HCT116 cells was significantly reduced following HOXB8 depletion compared with that in the shRNA control group, whereby the rates were reduced by 67% in HOXB8 knockdown group. The wound-healing rate of HOXB8 over-expression cells was significantly increased comparing with that of cells in the blank control group (P<0.05). HOXB8 knockdown promotes apoptosis of HCT116 cells. The expression of E-cadherin was restrained in the HOXB8 over-expression group and increased in the HOXB8 knockdown group. CONCLUSIONS Knock-down of HOXB8 prohibits the proliferation and migration of colorectal cancer cells via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and the downregulation of various factors, such as MMP2, c-Myc, CyclinD1,and vimentin. Our data suggested that HOXB8 has great potential to be developed as a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of human colorectal cancer.
