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

AXL is expressed in many types of cancer and promotes cancer cell survival, metastasis and drug resistance. Here, we focus on identifying modulators that regulate AXL at the mRNA level. We have previously observed that the AXL promoter activity is inversely correlated with the AXL expression levels, suggesting that post-transcriptional mechanisms exist that down-regulate the expression of AXL mRNA. Here we show that the RNA binding protein PTBP1 (polypyrimidine tract-binding protein) directly targets the 5'-UTR of AXL mRNA in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we also demonstrate that PTBP1, but not PTBP2, inhibits the expression of AXL mRNA and the RNA recognition motif 1 (RRM1) of PTBP1 is crucial for this interaction. To clarify how PTBP1 regulates AXL expression at the mRNA level, we found that, while the transcription rate of AXL was not significantly different, PTBP1 decreased the stability of AXL mRNA. In addition, over-expression of AXL may counteract the PTBP1-mediated apoptosis. Knock-down of PTBP1 expression could enhance tumor growth in animal models. Finally, PTBP1 was found to be negatively correlated with AXL expression in lung tumor tissues in Oncomine datasets and in tissue micro-array (TMA) analysis. In conclusion, we have identified a molecular mechanism of AXL expression regulation by PTBP1 through controlling the AXL mRNA stability. These findings may represent new thoughts alternative to current approaches that directly inhibit AXL signaling and may eventually help to develop novel therapeutics to avoid cancer metastasis and drug resistance.
