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

backgoundAlthough Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have a prominent ability to suppress the immune responses of T lymphocytes and propel tumor immune escape, a lack of profound systemic immunesuppression in tumor-bearing mice and tumor patients. The underlying mechanism of these remains unclear.

methodsFor this purpose, renal cancer-derived exosomes (RDEs) were first labeled with PKH67 and been observed the internalization by MDSCs. Flow cytometry analysis showed the proportion and activity change of MDSCs in spleen and bone marrow induced by RDEs. Further, western blot experiments were used to verify triggered mechanism of MDSCs by RDEs. Finally, proliferation and cytotoxicity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) co-cultured with MDSCs in vitro and a series of experiments in vivo were performed to demonstrate the specific inhibitory effect of RDEs-induced MDSCs.

resultsThis study suggested that RDEs crucially contributed to presenting antigenic information, activating and driving specific immunosuppressive effect to MDSCs. HSP70, which is highly expressed in RDEs, initiate this process in a toll like receptor 2 (TLR2)-dependent manner. Importantly, RDEs-induced MDSCs could exert an antigen-specific immunosuppression effect on CTL and specific promote renal tumors-growth and immune escape in consequence.

conclusionThe immunosuppression mediated by MDSCs which is induced by RDEs is antigen-specific. HSP70, which is highly expressed in RDEs, plays a pivotal role in this process. Targeted abrogating the function of MDSCs, or eliminating the expression of HSP70 in exosomes, or blocking the crosstalk between them provides a new direction and theoretical support for future immunotherapy.
