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

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers and its prognosis remains poor. ADAM family proteins like ADAM10, ADAM9 and ADAM17 function as α-secretase to cleavage cell surface proteins like Notch to facilitate oncogenesis in various tumors. The oncogenic roles of α-secretase in PDAC have been demonstrated but it remains unknown that whether and how α-secretase is regulated in PDAC. Here, we report that the expression of tetraspanin CD9 was increased and strongly associated with poor prognosis in PDAC. CD9 expression was positively associated with α-secretase activity in PDAC tissues and CD9 knock-down inhibited α-secretase activity in PDAC cell lines. Co-immunoprecipitation and GST pull down demonstrates that CD9 directly interacted with ADAM10, ADAM9 and ADAM17, respectively. Cell surface biotin labeling and immunostaining of tagged ADAM proteins show that CD9 promoted cell surface trafficking of ADAM family proteins. In addition, the antibody targeting extracellular domain of CD9 disrupted the interactions between CD9 and ADAM family proteins, reduced cell surface trafficking of ADAM proteins and inhibited α-secretase activity. Notch signaling was inhibited by CD9 knockdown or CD9 antibody in cell lines. Finally, CD9 antibody showed anti-tumor effects in cell proliferation MTT assay, transwell migration assay and colony formation assay. Our study reveals a novel CD9/ADAM/Notch signaling network in PDAC and it supports that targeting CD9-ADAM interaction with antibody may be a potential therapeutic intervention for PDAC.
