Overexpression of c-Ski promotes cell proliferation, invasion and migration of gastric cancer associated fibroblasts.

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 present study aimed to investigate the effects of c-Ski on cell proliferation, invasion and migration of gastric cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Expression of c-Ski in gastric cancer (GC) tissues was determined using immunohistochemistry. Both CAFs and non-cancerous gastric fibroblasts (NGFs) were isolated and cultured. c-Ski and Smad3 were over-expressed or knocked down using pcDNA3.0-c-Ski/Smad3 or siRNA, respectively. Cell viability, invasion and migration were measured and expression of c-Ski, α-SMA, and Smad3 in cells was determined using real time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting. Expression of c-Ski was significantly higher in both in GC tissues and cell lines, and was the highest in tissues of diffuse type. Both c-Ski and α-SMA were significantly over-expressed in CAFs compared with that in the NGFs. When c-Ski was over-expressed in NGFs, cell viability, cell invasion and migration were all enhanced and expression of Smad3 was downregulated. When c-Ski was inhibited, cell viability, cell invasion, and migration were all suppressed and expression of Smad3 was upregulated. Meanwhile, overexpression of Smad3 significantly reversed the effects of over-expressed c-Ski in NGFs, and knockdown of Smad3 dramatically reversed the effects of si-c-Ski in CAFs. Over-expressed c-Ski could enhance cell viability, promote cell invasion, and migration of GC CAFs, and the effects might be through regulation of Smad3 signaling. This study may give deeper insights for relationship between c-Ski and CAFs, as well as role of c-Ski in cancer development, and also provide some novel research targets for treatment of GC.
