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

backgroundOral administration is the most common way to deliver drugs to the systemic circulation or target organs. Orally administered drugs are absorbed in the intestine and metabolized in the intestine and liver. In the early stages of drug development, it is important to predict first-pass metabolism accurately to select candidate drugs with high bioavailability. The Caco-2 cell line derived from colorectal cancer is widely used as an intestinal model to assess drug membrane permeability. However, because the expression of major drug-metabolizing enzymes, such as cytochrome P450 (CYP), is extremely low in Caco-2 cells, it is difficult to predict intestinal metabolism, which is a significant factor in predicting oral drug bioavailability. Previously, we constructed a mouse artificial chromosome vector carrying the CYP (CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4) and P450 oxidoreductase (POR) (4CYPs-MAC) genes and increased CYP expression and metabolic activity in HepG2 cells via transfer of this vector.

resultsIn the current study, to improve the Caco-2 cell assay model by taking metabolism into account, we attempted to increase CYP expression by transferring the 4CYPs-MAC into Caco-2 cells. The Caco-2 cells carrying the 4CYPs-MAC showed higher CYP mRNA expression and activity. In addition, high metabolic activity, availability for permeation test, and the potential to assess drug-drug interactions were confirmed.

conclusionsThe established Caco-2 cells with the 4CYPs-MAC are expected to enable more accurate prediction of the absorption and metabolism in the human intestine than parental Caco-2 cells. The mammalian artificial chromosome vector system would provide useful models for drug development.
