High glucose microenvironment accelerates tumor growth via SREBP1-autophagy axis in pancreatic cancer.
Article in Journal of experimental & clinical cancer research : CR, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 63 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundDiabetes is recognized to be a risk factor of pancreatic cancer, but the mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1) is an important transcription factor involved in both lipid metabolism and tumor progression. However, the relationship between high glucose microenvironment, SREBP1 and pancreatic cancer remains to be explored.
methodsClinical data and surgical specimens were collected. Pancreatic cancer cell lines BxPc-3 and MiaPaCa-2 were cultured in specified medium. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and western blotting were performed to detect the expression of SREBP1. MTT and colony formation assays were applied to investigate cell proliferation. Immunofluorescence, mRFP-GFP adenoviral vector and transmission electron microscopy were performed to evaluate autophagy. We used streptozotocin (STZ) to establish a high glucose mouse model for the in vivo study.
resultsWe found that high blood glucose levels were associated with poor prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients. SREBP1 was overexpressed in both pancreatic cancer tissues and pancreatic cancer cell lines. High glucose microenvironment promoted tumor proliferation, suppressed apoptosis and inhibited autophagy level by enhancing SREBP1 expression. In addition, activation of autophagy accelerated SREBP1 expression and suppressed apoptosis. Moreover, high glucose promotes tumor growth in vivo by enhancing SREBP1 expression.
conclusionOur results indicate that SREBP1-autophagy axis plays a crucial role in tumor progression induced by high glucose microenvironment. SREBP1 may represent a novel target for pancreatic cancer prevention and treatment.
