A novel leukemic route of mutant NPM1 through nuclear import of the overexpressed long noncoding RNA LONA.
Article in Leukemia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
The most frequent genetic alteration in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the mutation of nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1). Yet, its downstream oncogenic routes are not fully understood. Here, we report the identification of one long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) overexpressed in NPM1-mutated AML patients (named LONA) whose intracellular localization inversely reflects that of NPM1. While NPM1 is nuclear and LONA cytoplasmic in wild-type NPM1 AML cells, LONA becomes nuclear as mutant NPM1 moves toward the cytoplasm. Gain or loss of function combined with a genome-wide RNA-seq search identified a set of LONA mRNA targets encoding proteins involved in myeloid cell differentiation (including THSB1, MAFB, and ASB2) and interaction with its microenvironment. Consistently, LONA overexpression in mutant NPM1 established cell lines and primary AML cells exerts an anti-myeloid differentiation effect, whilst it exerts an opposite pro-myeloid differentiation effect in a wild type NPM1 setting. In vivo, LONA overexpression acts as an oncogenic lncRNA reducing the survival of mice transplanted with AML cells and rendering AML tumors more resistant to AraC chemotherapy.These data indicate that mutation-dependent nuclear export of NPM1 leads to nuclear retention and consequent oncogenic functions of the overexpressed lncRNA LONA, thus uncovering a novel NPM1 mutation-dependent pathway in AML pathogenesis.
