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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is extremely aggressive and lacks effective therapy. SAM and SH3 domain containing1 (SASH1) has been implicated in TNBC as a candidate tumor suppressor; however, the mechanisms of action of SASH1 in TNBC remain underexplored. Here, we show that SASH1 was significantly downregulated in TNBC patients samples compared with other subtypes of breast cancer. Ectopic SASH1 expression inhibited, while depletion of SASH1 enhanced, the invasive phenotype of TNBC cells, accompanied by deregulated expression of MMP2 and MMP9. The functional effects of SASH1 depletion were confirmed in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane and mouse xenograft models. Mechanistically, SASH1 knockdown downregulated the phosphorylation levels of the Hippo kinase LATS1 and its effector YAP (Yes associated protein), thereby upregulating YAP accumulation together with its downstream target CYR61. Consistently, forced SASH1 expression exhibited opposite effects. Pharmacological inhibition of YAP or knockdown of YAP reversed the enhanced cell invasion of TNBC cells following SASH1 depletion. Furthermore, SASH1-induced YAP signaling was LATS1-dependent, which in reverse enhanced phosphorylation of SASH1. The SASH1 S407A mutant (phosphorylation deficient) failed to rescue the altered YAP signaling by SASH1 knockdown. Notably, SASH1 depletion upregulated ARHGAP42 levels via YAP-TEAD and the YAP-ARHGAP42-actin axis contributed to SASH1-regulated TNBC cell invasion. Therefore, our findings uncover a new mechanism for the tumor-suppressive activity of SASH1 in TNBC, which may serve as a novel target for therapeutic intervention.
