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

backgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs, which participate in the regulation of cell differentiation. Previous studies have demonstrated that miR-9-5p plays a key role in cancer cell development, but the mechanisms by which miR-9-5p regulates adipogenesis remain poorly understood. The present study intended to investigate its significance in producing rabbits with high-quality meat by observing the regulatory effect of miR-9-5p in preadipocytes and finding the related targets.

methodsIn this study, a dual-luciferase reporter assay was employed to validate the targeting relationship between miR-9-5p and leptin gene. We also utilized quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR), western blot, oil red-O staining assay, and determination of triglyceride content to analyze the regulation of miR-9-5p and leptin gene during adipocyte differentiation.

resultsThe analysis demonstrated that during preadipocyte differentiation, miR-9-5p was up-regulated and the fat formation related biomarkers, i.e., fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4), CCAAT-enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα), and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ) were also up-regulated. Meanwhile, the oil red-O staining assay revealed that the accumulation of lipid droplets increased. We also explored the expression pattern and role of miR-9-5p in adipogenesis using white pre-adipocytes. The results showed that miR-9-5p was up-regulated during preadipocyte differentiation, and overexpression of miR-9-5p enhanced lipid accumulation. Furthermore, we found that the overexpression of miR-9-5p significantly up- regulated the expression of marker genes, PPARγ, C/EBPα and FABP4, and increased the protein levels of PPARγ and triglyceride content. The results suggest that miR-9-5p might be involved in the regulation of rabbit preadipocyte differentiation. We predicted that leptin is the target gene of miR-9-5p, by using bioinformatics tools and the conclusion was validated by a luciferase reporter assay. Finally, we verified that the knock-down of leptin by si-leptin promoted preadipocyte differentiation in rabbits.

conclusionThe results of the present study indicate that miR-9-5p regulates white preadipocyte differentiation in rabbits by targeting the leptin gene.
