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

backgroundVitamin D receptor (VDR) plays a vital protective role in oral and colonic epithelial cells. Albeit we know that VDR expression is reduced in the mucosal epithelial layers of autoimmune diseases, the mechanism by which VDR is decreased remains elusive.

methodsVDR and zinc finger protein 36 (ZFP36) levels in human samples and cell lines were detected by real-time PCR, western blot and immunostaining. Luciferase report assay was used to test cis-elements in VDR gene promoter, real-time PCR was applied to measure mRNA decay and western blot was performed to evaluate protein degradation. RNA affinity chromatography assay was used to test protein-mRNA interaction. Co-immunoprecipitation was used to detect protein-protein interaction. The role of ZFP36 in AU-rich elements (AREs) in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of VDR mRNA was also measured by luciferase report assay.

resultsWe identify ZFP36 can bind with the AREs in the 3'UTR of VDR mRNA, leading to mRNA degradation in oral and colonic epithelial cells under inflammatory circumstance. Either ZFP36 protein or AREs of VDR mRNA mutation abolishes this protein-mRNA binding process. After the key amino acid's mutation, ZFP36 fails to decrease VDR mRNA expression. We also find that VDR physically binds with Y box-binding protein 1 (YBX-1) to block YBX-1's nuclear translocation and ameliorate cell death in the presence of inflammation.

conclusionThese findings provide insights into the cause of VDR decrease in oral and colonic epithelial cells under inflammatory condition and explain how VDR maintains cell viability in these cells. Video abstract.
