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

purposeCpG-ODN has been found to attenuate allergic airway inflammation in our previous study. Here, we aimed to further investigate whether CpG-ODN exerts such effect via regulating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and revealed the underlying mechanism.

methodsFive-week-old C57BL/6 mice were randomly grouped and treated with or without CpG-ODN or/and SP600125. Meantime, RAW264.7 cells were used to investigate the effect of CpG-ODN on OVA-induced ER stress in vitro. The cellularity of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was classified and counted after Wright-Giemsa staining. HE and PAS staining methods were applied to analyze airway inflammation. The protein levels of IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, p-JNK, JNK, CHOP, XBP1, ATF6α and GRP78 in lung tissues were detected by Western blotting. Correspondingly, the ER stress markers were detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescence in RAW264.7 cells.

resultsIn OVA-induced allergic airway inflammation, CpG-ODN significantly suppressed inflammatory cells infiltration, goblet cell hyperplasia and the protein expression of Th2 cytokines. Moreover, OVA exposure strongly increased the activation of ER stress with higher protein expressions of CHOP, XBP1, ATF6α and GRP78. However, these OVA-induced increase of ER stress markers were markedly suppressed by CpG-ODN treatment. In addition, exposure to OVA significantly increased the phosphorylation of JNK, which was significantly reduced by CpG-ODN treatment. Remarkably, single treatment of SP600125, an antagonist of JNK, functioned similarly as CpG-ODN in mitigating allergic airway inflammation and suppressing OVA-induced activation of ER stress; however, no significant synergistic effect was evidenced by combined treatment of SP600125 and CpG-ODN. Furthermore, in OVA-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, we also found that OVA stimulation increased the expressions of ER stress markers, and CpG-ODN significantly reduced their expression levels via suppressing the phosphorylation of JNK.

conclusionThese results indicated that CpG-ODN mitigates allergic airway inflammation via suppressing the activation of JNK-medicated ER stress.
