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

objectiveDNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) take on a relevant role in epigenetic control of cancer proliferation and cell survival. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the establishment and maintenance of DNA methylation in human cancer remain to be fully elucidated. This study was to investigate that how DNMT1 affected the biological characteristics of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells via modulating methylation of microRNA (miR)-152-3p and thymosin β 10 (TMSB10) expression.

methodsDNMT1, miR-152-3p, and TMSB10 expression, and the methylation of miR-152-3p in CRC tissues and cells were detected. SW-480 and HCT-116 CRC cells were transfected with DNMT1 or miR-152-3p-related sequences or plasmids to explore their characters in biological functions of CRC cells. The binding relationship between DNMT1 and miR-152-3p and the targeting relationship between miR-152-3p and TMSB10 were analyzed. The tumor growth was also detected in vivo.

resultsUpregulated DNMT1, TMSB10, reduced miR-152-3p, and methylated miR-152-3p were detected in CRC tissues and cells. Silenced DNMT1 or upregulated miR-152-3p reduced TMSB10 expression and suppressed CRC progression and tumor growth. Moreover, elevated DNMT1 could reverse the effect of miR-152-3p upregulation on CRC development and tumor growth. DNMT1 maintained methylation of miR-152-3p. TMSB10 was the direct target gene of miR-152-3p.

conclusionThe study highlights that silenced DNMT1 results in non-methylated miR-152-3p to depress TMSB10 expression, thereby inhibiting CRC development, which provides a new approach for CRC therapy.
