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

CD81 is an integral membrane protein of the tetraspanin family and forms complexes with a variety of other cell surface membrane proteins. CD81 is involved in cell migration and B cell activation. However, the mechanism of the transcriptional regulation of the CD81 gene remains unclear. Here, we revealed that CD81 transcriptional activation was required for binding of the transcription factor Pax5 at the Pax5-binding sequence (-54)GCGGGAC(-48) located upstream of the transcriptional start site (TSS) of the CD81 gene. The reporter assay showed that the DNA sequence between - 130 and - 39 bp upstream of the TSS of the CD81 gene had promoter activity for CD81 transcription. The DNA sequence between - 130 and - 39 bp upstream of TSS of CD81 harbors two potential Pax5-binding sequences (-87)GCGTGAG(-81) and (-54)GCGGGAC(-48). Reporter, electrophoresis mobility shift, and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays disclosed that Pax5 bound to the (-54)GCGGGAC(-48) in the promoter region of the CD81 gene in order to activate CD81 transcription. Pax5 overexpression increased the expression level of CD81 protein, while the Pax5-knockdown by shRNA decreased CD81 expression. Moreover, we found that the expression level of CD81 was positively correlated with Pax5 expression in human tumor cell lines. Because CD81 was reported to be involved in cell migration, we evaluated the effects of Pax5 overexpression by wound healing and transwell assays. The data showed that overexpression of either Pax5 or CD81 promoted the epithelial cell migration. Thus, our findings provide insights into the transcriptional mechanism of the CD81 gene through transcription factor Pax5.
