Apolipoprotein E2 Promotes the Migration and Invasion of Pancreatic Cancer Cells via Activation of the ERK1/2 Signaling Pathway.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundApolipoprotein E2 (ApoE2) is reported to be essential for cell metastasis and proliferation and has been considered a potential diagnostic marker in many cancers. However, the function of ApoE2 in the metastasis of pancreatic cancer, as well as the underlying mechanism, remain unclear. PURPOSE: In this study, we explored the effect of ApoE2 on the migration and invasion abilities of pancreatic cancer cells and explored the underlying molecular mechanism. METHODS AND
resultsWound healing and Matrigel Transwell assays were used to investigate the role of ApoE2 in cell migration and invasion. Western blotting analysis showed that ApoE2 was overexpressed in pancreatic cancer tissues. Additionally, the overexpression of ApoE2 promoted the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and enhanced the expression of MMP-2/9 in pancreatic cancer cells. Mechanistically, we found that inhibition of ERK1/2 signaling with PD98059 impaired the ApoE2-mediated promotion of cell migration, invasion and EMT.
conclusionThis study demonstrated that ApoE2/ERK1/2 signaling promoted the migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells. ApoE2 might be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of pancreatic cancer metastasis.
