The SMAC mimetic AT-101 exhibits anti-tumor and anti-metastasis activity in lung adenocarcinoma cells by the IAPs/ caspase-dependent apoptosis and p65-NFƙB cross-talk.

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
objectivesThe Inhibitors of Apoptosis (IAPs) regulate initiator and effector phases of caspase mediated apoptosis. This study evaluates the effects of SMAC mimetic AT-101 in regulation of IAPs/caspases/NFƙB-p65 in an adenocarcinoma cell line. MATERIALS AND
methodsMTT assay was performed in the NCI-H522 cell line. Flow cytometry was used for detecting cell cycle, apoptosis, and NFƙB-p65 regulation. Effects of AT-101 on IAPs and caspases were determined by quantitative real time-PCR and western blotting. AutoDock-VINA was used for computational analysis.
resultsAT-101 reduced the cell proliferation of NCI-H522 with a GI50 value of 7 μM. The compound arrested adenocarcinoma cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle and increased early and late phase apoptosis while decreasing tumor-cell trans-migration. AT-101 treatment to NCI H522 at a concentration of 0.35 μM decreased XIAP, cIAP-1, and cIAP-2 mRNA levels to 4.39±0.66, 1.93±0.26, and 2.20±0.24 folds, respectively. Increased dose of AT-101 at 0.7 μM concentration further decreased XIAP, cIAP-1, and cIAP-2 mRNA levels to 2.44±0.67, 1.46±0.93, and 0.97±0.10 folds, respectively. Similar effects of a dose-dependent decrease in the protein expressions of XIAP, cIAP-1, and cIAP-2 were observed with AT-101 treatments, while a dose-responsive increase in the mRNA and protein expression levels of caspase 6 and caspase 7 was observed in the NCI-H522 cell line. The compound exhibited binding affinity (-6.1 kcal/mol) and inhibited NFƙB-p65 in these cells.
conclusionAT-101 had anti-tumor efficacy against lung adenocarcinoma cells which could be mediated through IAPs/caspase-dependent apoptosis and NFƙB-p65 cross talk. Results from this study suggests a signal cross talk between IAPs and NFkB and open new channels for further investigations in therapeutic intervention against lung cancer management.
