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

backgroundDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is a severe end-stage kidney disease developed from diabetes mellitus. The involvement of circular RNA (circRNAs) in the regulation of DN pathogenesis has been implied, but the underlying mechanism of DN is still lacking. This study aimed to investigate the effect of hsa_circ_0003928 on the inflammation and apoptosis of high glucose (HG)-induced renal tubular cells.

methodsThe expression of hsa_circ_0003928, miR-151-3p and Anxa2 in blood samples from DN patients and healthy controls was detected by RT-qPCR. Human renal epithelial cells HK-2 were incubated with D-glucose (30 mmol/l) to establish DN model in vitro. RT-qPCR analysis confirmed the transfection effects and detected the expressions of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β. Western blotting analysis determined the protein expression of Anxa2, Bcl-2, Bax, cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-3. The production of ROS was detected by DCF-DA method and production of inflammatory cytokines was verified by ELISA assay. CCK-8 assay and TUNEL assay were performed to determine cell viability and apoptosis, respectively. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm the relationship between miR-151-3p and hsa_circ_0003928 or Anxa2.

resultsHsa_circ_0003928 and Anxa2 mRNA levels were increased, whereas miR-151-3p was decreased in both HG-induced HK-2 cells and patients with DN. Hsa_circ_0003928 knockdown could decrease cell viability loss and apoptosis, increase Bcl-2 expression, and decrease Bax and cleaved caspase-3 expression. Besides, hsa_circ_0003928 knockdown suppressed HG-induced overproduction of ROS, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β. However, the effects made by miR-151-3p inhibition were opposite to those made by hsa_circ_0003928 knockdown. Furthermore, the binding sites between miR-151-3p and hsa_circ_0003928 or Anxa2 were predicted and verified. Protein expression of Anxa2 was suppressed by hsa_circ_0003928 knockdown, which was rescued by miR-151-3p inhibition.

conclusionThese results demonstrated that hsa_circ_0003928 could act as a sponge of miR-151-3p and regulate HG-induced inflammation and apoptosis partly through regulating Anxa2.
