MicroRNA-29b targeting of cell division cycle 7-related protein kinase (CDC7) regulated vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and migration.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
backgroundProliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are vital processes in vascular remodeling and pathology. This study aimed to explore the expression of miR-29b and cell division cycle 7-related protein kinase (CDC7) in patients with cerebral aneurysm (CA) and their effects on the proliferation and mobility of human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells (HUASMCs).
methodsRNA levels of miR-29b and CDC7 were evaluated in the CA tissues and adjacent normal cerebral arteries from 18 patients undergoing surgery for CA rupture. The targeting of CDC7 by miR-29b was verified with luciferase reporter assay. Both CDC7 and miR-29b overexpression and silencing vectors were introduced to validate their effects on the proliferation and mobility of HUASMCs.
resultsThe mRNA level of miR-29b was down-regulated (P<0.05), while the mRNA level of CDC7 was markedly elevated in CA patients (P<0.05). A Luciferase reporter assay showed CDC7 is a target gene of miR-29b, and miR-29b mimic down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of CDC7 (P<0.05). Furthermore, miR-29b mimic inhibited, while miR-29b inhibitor or CDC7 over-expression promoted the proliferation and mobility of HUASMCs (P<0.05).
conclusionsmiR-29-3p inhibits cell proliferation and mobility via directly targeting CDC7, which could be a potential therapeutic target for vascular dysfunction related diseases, including atherosclerosis and CA.
