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

The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) transports maternal immunoglobulin G (IgG) to the foetus or newborn and protects the IgG from degradation. FcRn is expressed in several porcine tissues and cell types and its expression levels are regulated by immune and inflammatory events. IPEC-J2 cells are porcine intestinal columnar epithelial cells that were isolated from neonatal piglet mid-jejunum. We hypothesized that transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) upregulated pFcRn expression in IPEC-J2 cells. To test this hypothesis, we treated IPEC-J2 cells with TGF-β1 and demonstrated that porcine FcRn (pFcRn) expression was significantly increased. SP600125, a specific mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor, reduced TGF-β1-induced pFcRn expression in IPEC-J2 cells. We performed luciferase reporter assays and showed that the c-JUN sensitive region of the pFcRn promoter gene was located between positions -1215 and -140. The c-JUN sequence, in combination with the pFcRn promoter, regulated luciferase reporter activity in response to TGF-β1 stimulation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation confirmed that there were three c-JUN binding sites in the pFcRn promoter. Furthermore, in addition to increased pFcRn expression, TGF-β1 also enhanced IgG transcytosis in IPEC-J2 cells. In summary, our data showed that the modulation of JNK/MAPK signaling by TGF-β1 was sufficient to upregulate pFcRn expression.
