Cyclin D1 overexpression enhances chemosensitivity to TPF chemotherapeutic agents via the caspase-3 pathway in oral cancer.

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.

Abstract
Induction chemotherapy has been previously demonstrated to downgrade locally advanced or aggressive cancers and increase the likelihood of primary lesion eradication. Based on our previous phase 3 trial on TPF (docetaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil) induction chemotherapy in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), in which short-term prognostic and predictive values of cyclin D1 expression were reported, the present study aimed to determine the long-term predictive value of cyclin D1 expression in the same patients with OSCC who were eligible to receive TPF induction chemotherapy. In addition, the present study investigated the potential association between cyclin D1 expression and chemosensitivity to TPF agents during OSCC cell intervention, and the underlying apoptotic mechanism of action. In total, 232 patients with locally advanced OSCC from our previous trial with a median follow-up of 5 years were included for survival analysis using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test in the present study, where cyclin D1 expression in their tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. Cyclin D1 knockdown, cytotoxicity assays assessing the efficacy of the TPF chemotherapeutic agents and measurements of caspase-3 and PARP activity in HB96, CAL27 and HN30 cell lines were performed. Patients with OSCC in the low cyclin D1 expression group exhibited significantly superior long-term clinical outcomes compared with those in patients in the high cyclin D1 expression group [overall survival (OS), P=0.001; disease-free survival, P=0.003; local recurrence-free survival, P=0.004; distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), P=0.001]. Furthermore, patients with stage clinical nodal stage 2 (cN2) OSCC in the high cyclin D1 expression group benefitted from TPF induction chemotherapy (OS, P=0.024; DMFS, P=0.024), whilst patients with cN2 OSCC in the low cyclin D1 expression group did not benefit from this chemotherapy. Overexpression of cyclin D1 expression was found to enhance chemosensitivity to TPF chemotherapeutic agents in OSCC by mediating caspase-3-dependent apoptosis. Based on these findings, TPF induction chemotherapy can benefit patients with cN2 OSCC and high cyclin D1 expression in terms of long-term survival from compared with standard treatment. In addition, OSCC cell lines overexpressing cyclin D1 are more sensitive to TPF chemotherapeutic agents in a caspase-3-dependent manner (clinical trial. no. NCT01542931; February 2012).
