A novel role of tumor suppressor ZMYND8 in inducing differentiation of breast cancer cells through its dual-histone binding function.
Article in Journal of biosciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Accumulating evidences indicate the involvement of epigenetic deregulations in cancer. While some epigenetic regulators with aberrant functions in cancer are targeted for improving therapeutic outcome in patients, reinstating the functions of tumor-suppressor-like epigenetic regulators might further potentiate anti-cancer therapies. Epigenetic reader zinc-finger MYND-type-containing 8 (ZMYND8) has been found to be endowed with multiple anti-cancer functions like inhibition of tumor cell migration and proliferation. Here, we report another novel tumor suppressor role of ZMYND8 as an inducer of differentiation in breast cancer cells, by upregulating differentiation genes. Interestingly, we also demonstrated that ZMYND8 mediates all its antitumor roles through a common dual-histone mark binding to H4K16Ac and H3K36Me2. We validated these findings by both biochemical and biophysical analyses. Furthermore, we also confirmed the differentiationinducing potential of ZMYND8 in vivo, using 4T1 murine breast cancer model in Balb/c mice. Differentiation therapy holds great promise in cancer therapy, since it is non-toxic and makes the cancer cells therapysensitive. In this scenario, we propose epigenetic reader ZMYND8 as a potential therapeutic candidate for differentiation therapy in breast cancer.
