Hypoxic tubular epithelial cells regulate the angiogenesis of HMEC-1 cells via mediation of Rab7/MMP-2 axis.

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
Renal hypoxia is associated with persisting peritubular capillary rarefaction in progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and this phenomenon mainly resulted from the dysregulated angiogenesis. Rab7 is known to be involved in renal hypoxia. However, the mechanism by which Rab7 regulates the renal hypoxia remains unclear. Protein expression was detected by western blot. Cell proliferation was detected by EdU staining. Cell migration was tested by transwell assay. Rab7 was upregulated in HK-2 cells under hypoxia conditions. Hypoxia significantly inhibited the viability and proliferation of human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1 cells), while this phenomenon was obviously reversed by Rab7 silencing. Consistently, Hypoxia significantly decreased the migration and tube length of HMECs, which was partially reversed by knockdown of Rab7. Moreover, hypoxia-induced inhibition of MMP2 activity was significantly rescued by knockdown of Rab7. Moreover, ARP100 (MMP-2 inhibitor) significantly reversed the effect of Rab7 shRNA on cell viability, migration and angiogenesis. Furthermore, knockdown of Rab7 significantly alleviated the fibrosis in tissues of mice. Knockdown of Rab7 significantly alleviated the renal hypoxia in chronic kidney disease through regulation of MMP-2. Thus, our study might shed new light on exploring the new strategies against CKD.
