Long non-coding RNA TUG1 knockdown promotes autophagy and improves acute renal injury in ischemia-reperfusion-treated rats by binding to microRNA-29 to silence PTEN.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveLong noncoding RNA (lncRNA) taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) is increased under the condition of ischemia. This study intended to identify the mechanism of TUG1 in renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R).
methodsFirst, a rat model of acute renal injury induced by I/R was established, followed by the measurement of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatine (SCr), methylenedioxyphetamine (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the serum of rats. TUG1 was knocked down in I/R rats (ko-TUG1 group). Next, histological staining was used to evaluate the pathological damage and apoptosis of rat kidney. Western blot analysis was used to detect the levels of apoptosis- and autophagy-related proteins and transmission electron microscope was used to observe autophagosomes. Autophagy and apoptosis were evaluated after inhibition of the autophagy pathway using the inhibitor 3-MA. The targeting relation among TUG1, microRNA (miR)-29 and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) were validated. Lastly, the effects of TUG1 on biological behaviors of renal tubular cells were evaluated in vitro.
resultsIn vivo, the levels of BUN, SCr and MDA in the serum of I/R-treated rats were increased while SOD level and autophagosomes were reduced, tubule epithelial cells were necrotic, and TUG1 was upregulated in renal tissues of I/R-treated rats, which were all reversed in rats in the ko-TUG1 group. Autophagy inhibition (ko-TUG1 + 3-MA group) averted the protective effect of TUG1 knockdown on I/R-treated rats. TUG1 could competitively bind to miR-29 to promote PTEN expression. In vitro, silencing TUG1 (sh-TUG1 group) promoted viability and autophagy of renal tubular cells and inhibited apoptosis.
conclusionsLncRNA TUG can promote PTEN expression by competitively binding to miR-29 to promote autophagy and inhibited apoptosis, thus aggravating acute renal injury in I/R-treated rats.
