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

backgroundAdipose tissue derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (ASC) can be expanded using supernatant rich in growth factors (SRGF) as Good Manufacturing Practice compatible additive, instead of fetal bovine serum (FBS). After transendothelial migration, ASC can migrate to cancer masses where they can release active substances. Due to their homing and secretion properties ASC can be used as targeted drug delivery vehicles. Nevertheless, the fraction of ASC actually reaching the tumor target is limited. The impact of culture conditions on ASC homing potential on cancer cells is unknown.

methodsIn dynamic

resultsWhen compared to FBS ASC, not specific adhesion of SRGF ASC on collagen type I and fibronectin was lower (-33.9%±12.2% and -45.3%±16.9%), while on-target binding on HT1080 and T98G was enhanced (+147%±8% and 120.5%±5.2%). Adhesion of both FBS and SRGF ASC on Huh7 cells was negligible. As confirmed by citofluorimetry and by function-blocking antibody, SRGF mediated decrease of CD49a expression accounted for lower SRGF-ASC avidity for matrix proteins. Upon stimulation with calcium ionophore in static conditions, mobilization of intracellular calcium in SRGF ASC was greater than in FBS ASC. In dynamic conditions, upon adhesion on matrix proteins and HT1080 cells, SRGF ASC showed marked oscillatory calcium concentration changes.

conclusionsSRGF can enhance specific ASC binding capacity on selected cancer cells as HT1080 (fibrosarcoma) and T98G (glioblastoma) cells. Upon cell-cell adhesion, SRGF ASC activate intracellular responses potentially improving cell secretion functions. SRGF ASC could be considered as suitable drug delivery vehicle for cancer therapy.
