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

Vascular endothelial cells respond to blood flow-induced shear stress. However, the mechanisms through which endothelial cells transduce mechanical signals to cellular responses remain poorly understood. In this report, using tensile-force assays, immunofluorescence and atomic force microscopy, we demonstrate that immunoglobulin and proline-rich receptor-1 (IGPR-1) responds to mechanical stimulation and increases the stiffness of endothelial cells. We observed that IGPR-1 is activated by shear stress and tensile force and that flow shear stress-mediated IGPR-1 activation modulates remodeling of endothelial cells. We found that under static conditions, IGPR-1 is present at the cell-cell contacts; however, under shear stress, it redistributes along the cell borders into the flow direction. IGPR-1 activation stimulated actin stress fiber assembly and cross-linking with vinculin. Moreover, we noted that IGPR-1 stabilizes cell-cell junctions of endothelial cells as determined by staining of cells with ZO1. Mechanistically, shear stress stimulated activation of AKT Ser/Thr kinase 1 (AKT1), leading to phosphorylation of IGPR-1 at Ser-220. Inhibition of this phosphorylation prevented shear stress-induced actin fiber assembly and endothelial cell remodeling. Our findings indicate that IGPR-1 is an important player in endothelial cell mechanosensing, insights that have important implications for the pathogenesis of common maladies, including ischemic heart diseases and inflammation.
