APOBEC1 complementation factor facilitates cell migration by promoting nucleus translocation of SMAD3 in renal cell carcinoma cells.

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
Metastasis is inevitable in about 30% of patients with primary renal cell carcinoma after nephrectomy treatment. APOBEC1 complementation factor (A1CF), an RNA binding protein, participates in tumor progressions such as growth, apoptosis, differentiation, and invasion. Here, we explored biological functions of A1CF and provided a new insight into renal cell carcinoma metastasis. Wound healing assay was conducted to detect migration in A1CF overexpression and knockdown stable cell lines. Quantitative PCR and western blot assays were utilized to test transcriptional and translation levels of A1CF and SMAD3 in A1CF overexpression and knockdown renal carcinoma cells. Nuclear and cytoplasmic protein separation assays were conducted to evaluate the subcellular distribution of A1CF and SMAD3. Immunoprecipitation assay was conducted to detect the interaction between A1CF and SMAD3. Our study demonstrated A1CF overexpression facilitated cell migration in renal carcinoma cells. A1CF deficiency downregulated expression of SMAD3, Snail1, and N-cadherin. In addition, A1CF promoted nucleus translocation of SMAD3 and interacted with SMAD3. SMAD3 knockdown attenuated cell migration induced by A1CF overexpression. Our study suggested A1CF facilitated cell migration by promoting nucleus translocation of SMAD3 in renal cell carcinoma cells.
