The PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitor NVP-BEZ235 stimulates mutant p53 degradation to exert anti-tumor effects on triple-negative breast cancer cells.
Article in FEBS open bio, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 19 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
Nearly half of human cancers harbor p53 mutations, and mutant p53 (mutp53) promotes carcinogenesis, metastasis, tumor recurrence and chemoresistance. mutp53 is observed in 30% of breast carcinomas, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and thus mutp53 is a promising target for treatment of TNBC. In this study, we investigated the effect of a phosphatidylinositide 3 kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin dual inhibitor, NVP-BEZ235 (BEZ235), on two TNBC cell lines with mutp53: MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468. Cell growth, migration and colony-formation abilities were detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide, scratch assay, transwell and soft agar assay, revealing that BEZ235 can inhibit the growth, migration and colony-formation abilities of TNBC cells. In addition, BEZ235 caused degradation of mutp53 in these cells. We investigated the underlying mechanism by inhibiting proteasome function using MG132 and inhibiting autophagy using 3-methyladenine and shRNAs. We observed that BEZ235 may induce autophagy through repression of the Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway. The observed interplay between mutp53 and autophagy in TNBC cells was examined further by knockdown of ATG5 and ATG7, revealing that degradation of mutp53 induced by BEZ235 may be independent of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and autophagy mediated by ATG5 and ATG7. Moreover, we found evidence of positive feedback between mutp53 and autophagy in TNBC cells. In conclusion, BEZ235 may exert antitumor effects against TNBC cells by targeting mutp53, and this may have implications for the development of future therapies.
