Mechanisms of abemaciclib, a CDK4/6 inhibitor, induced apoptotic cell death in prostate cancer cells in vitro.

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 therapeutic effects of abemaciclib (ABE), an inhibitor of cyclin- dependent kinases (CDK) 4/6, on the proliferation of two types of prostate cancer (PC) cells were revealed. In this study, in vitro cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of ABE on metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) androgen receptor (AR) negative PC-3 and AR mutant LNCaP PC cells were analyzed with WST-1, Annexin V, cell cycle, reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential, RT-PCR, western blot, and apoptosis protein array. ABE considerably inhibited the growth of PC cells in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.01) and caused significant apoptotic cell death through the suppression of CDK4/6-Cyclin D complex, ROS generation and depolarization of mitochondria membrane potential. However, PC-3 cells were more sensitive to ABE than LNCaP cells. Furthermore, the expression levels of several pro-apoptotic and cell cycle regulatory proteins were upregulated by ABE in especially PC-3 cells with the downregulation of apoptotic inhibitor proteins. Our results suggest that ABE inhibits PC cell growth and promotes apoptosis and thus ABE treatment may be a promising treatment strategy in especially mCRPC. Further preclinical and clinical studies should be performed to clarify the clinical use of ABE for the treatment of PC.
