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

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the presence of Lewy bodies (LB) in neurons. α-Synuclein (αSyn) is a major component of LB and promote the PD pathogenesis via its accumulation by the impaired proteasomal or autophagic clearance. Numerous studies have revealed that the reduction of proteasome activity and autophagy is accelerated by cellular senescence. Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) contributes to PD progression and its most prevalent mutation, G2019S LRRK2, increases its activity. Our previous report has shown that the G2019S LRRK2 mutant promoted p53-induced p21 expression and neuronal cytotoxicity. The p53-p21 pathway plays a role in cellular senescence. We hypothesized that the loss of dopaminergic neurons by the stimulated p53-p21 pathway via the G2019S LRRK2 mutation might be associated with cellular senescence, thereby promoting the accumulation of αSyn. We confirmed that the ectopic expression of the phosphomimetic p53 mutant, p21, or G2019 in differentiated SH-SY5Y cells increased the following: 1) the expression of β-galactosidase, a marker of cellular senescence, and the activity of senescence-associated β-galactosidase, 2) endogenous αSyn protein level, but not its mRNA level, and 3) αSyn fibril accumulation in dSH-SY5Y via low proteasome and cathepsin D activities. Elevated oligomeric αSyn and the increase in β-galactosidase with induced p21 were observed in brain lysates of G2019S transgenic mice. Our results suggest that cellular senescence is promoted via the p53-p21 pathway due to the G2019S LRRK2 mutation. Eventually, decreased protein degradation by G2019S-mediated senescence could accelerate αSyn aggregate formation.
