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

backgroundmiR-342-3p, localized to 14q32, is a tumor suppressor miRNA implicated in carcinogenesis. Given the presence of a promotor-associated CpG island for its host gene, EVL, we hypothesized that intronic miR-342-3p is a tumor suppressor co-regulated with host gene by promoter DNA methylation in B cell lymphoma.

resultsBy bisulfite pyrosequencing-verified methylation-specific PCR (MSP), EVL/MIR342 methylation was detected in five (50%) lymphoma cell lines but not normal peripheral blood and tonsils. EVL/MIR342 methylation correlated with repression of both miR-342-3p and EVL in cell lines. In completely methylated SU-DHL-16 cells, 5-AzadC treatment resulted in promoter demethylation and re-expression of miR-342-3p and EVL. In 132 primary lymphoma samples, EVL/MIR342 was preferentially methylated in B cell lymphomas (N = 68; 68.7%) than T cell lymphoma (N = 8; 24.2%) by MSP (P < 0.0001). Moreover, EVL/MIR342 methylation was associated with lower miR-342-3p expression in 79 primary NHL (P = 0.0443). In SU-DHL-16 cells, the tumor suppressor function of miR-342-3p was demonstrated by the inhibition of cellular proliferation and increase of cell death upon over-expression of miR-342-3p. Mechanistically, overexpression of miR-342-3p resulted in a decrease of LC3-II, a biomarker of autophagy, which was pro-survival for SU-DHL-16. Pre-treatment with 3-methyladenine, an autophagy inhibitor, abrogated tumor suppression associated with miR-342-3p overexpression. By luciferase assay, MAP1LC3B, a precursor of LC3-II, was confirmed as a direct target of miR-342-3p. Finally, in SU-DHL-16 cells, overexpression of miR-342-3p downregulated the known target DNMT1, with promoter demethylation and re-expression of tumor suppressor E-cadherin.

conclusionsIntronic miR-342-3p is co-regulated with its host gene EVL by tumor-specific promoter DNA methylation in B cell lymphoma. The tumor suppressor function of miR-342-3p was mediated via inhibition of pro-survival autophagy by targeting MAP1LC3B and downregulation of DNMT1 with demethylation and re-expression of tumor suppressor genes.
