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

Elevated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is frequently observed in cancers, whereas sustained ER stress may trigger apoptosis. How cancer cells escape from ER stress-induced apoptosis remain unclear. Here, we found that a pseudogene-derived lncRNA, Golgin A2 pseudogene 10 (GOLGA2P10), was frequently upregulated in HCC tissues and significantly elevated in hepatoma cells treated with ER stress inducers, such as tunicamycin and thapsigargin. Higher GOLGA2P10 level was correlated with shorter recurrence-free survival of HCC patients. Upon ER stress, CHOP directly bound to the promoter of GOLGA2P10 and induced its transcription via the PERK/ATF4/CHOP pathway. Interestingly, the ER stress inducer-stimulated apoptosis was promoted by silencing GOLGA2P10 but was antagonized by overexpressing GOLGA2P10. Both gain- and loss-of-function analyses disclosed that GOLGA2P10 increased BCL-xL protein level, promoted BAD phosphorylation, and conferred tumor cells with resistance to ER stress-induced apoptosis. Moreover, BCL-xL overexpression or BAD knockdown abrogated the apoptosis-promoting effect of GOLGA2P10 silencing. Consistently, the Ser75Ala mutation in BAD, which caused phosphorylation-resistance, further enhanced the promoting effect of BAD in tunicamycin-induced apoptosis. These results suggest that ER stress induces GOLGA2P10 transcription through the PERK/ATF4/CHOP pathway, and upregulation of GOLGA2P10 protects tumor cells from the cytotoxic effect of persistent ER stress in tumor microenvironment by regulating Bcl-2 family members, which highlight GOLGA2P10 as a potential target for anticancer therapy.
