METTL13 inhibits progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma with repression on PI3K/AKT/mTOR/HIF-1α pathway and c-Myc expression.
Article in Journal of translational medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
backgroundClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common and aggressive type of renal malignancy. Methyltransferase like 13 (METTL13) functions as an oncogene in most of human cancers, but its function and mechanism in ccRCC remains unreported.
methodsqRT-PCR, western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to detect METTL13's expression in tissues. The effects of METTL13 on ccRCC cells' growth and metastasis were determined by both functional experiments and animal experiments. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to annotate METTL13's functions and co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) was used to determine the interaction between METTL13 and c-Myc.
resultsMETTL13 was underexpressed in ccRCC tissues compared to normal kidney tissues and its low expression predicted poor prognosis for ccRCC patients. The in vitro studies showed that knockdown and overexpression of METTL13 respectively led to increase and decrease in ccRCC cells' proliferation, viability, migratory ability and invasiveness as well as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The in vivo experiment demonstrated the inhibitory effect that METTL13 had on ccRCC cells' growth and metastasis. Bioinformatic analyses showed various biological functions and pathways METTL13 was involved in. In ccRCC cells, we observed that METTL13 could negatively regulate PI3K/AKT/mTOR/HIF-1α pathway and that it combined to c-Myc and inhibited c-Myc protein expression.
conclusionsIn general, our finding suggests that high expression of METTL13 is associated with favorable prognosis of ccRCC patients. Meanwhile, METTL13 can inhibit growth and metastasis of ccRCC cells with participation in multiple potential molecular mechanisms. Therefore, we suggest METTL13 can be a new diagnostic and therapeutic target for ccRCC in the future.
