Integrative microRNA and gene expression analysis identifies new epigenetically regulated microRNAs mediating taxane resistance in ovarian cancer.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Taxane is a family of front-line chemotherapeutic agents against ovarian cancer (OC). The therapeutic efficacy is frequently counteracted by the development of chemoresistance, leading to high rates of relapse in OC patients. The role(s) of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer chemoresistance had been supported by many evidences Epigenetic regulation by miRNAs has been reported to influence cancer development and response to therapeutics, however, their role in OC resistance to paclitaxel (PTX) is unclear. Here, we conducted miRNA profiling in the responsive and PTX-resistant OC cell lines before and after treatment with epigenetic modulators. We reveal 157 miRNAs to be downregulated in the PTX-resistant cells compared to parental controls. The expression of five miRNAs (miRNA-7-5p, -204-3p, -501-5p, -3652 and -4286) was restored after epigenetic modulation, which was further confirmed by qPCR. In silico analysis of the signaling pathways targeted by the selected miRNAs identified the PI3K-AKT pathway as the primary target. Subsequent cDNA array analysis confirmed multiple PI3K-AKT pathway members such as AKT2, PIK3R3, CDKN1A, CCND2 and FGF2 to be upregulated in PTX-resistant cells. STRING analysis showed the deregulated genes in PTX-resistant cells to be primarily involved in cell cycle progression and survival. Thus, high throughput miRNA and cDNA profiling coupled with pathway analysis and data mining provide evidence for epigenetically regulated miRNAs-induced modulation of signaling pathways in PTX resistant OC cells. It paves the way to more in-depth mechanistic studies and new therapeutic strategies to combat chemoresistance.
