IKBKE phosphorylates and stabilizes Snail to promote breast cancer invasion and metastasis.

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
IKBKE, a non-canonical inflammatory kinase, is frequently amplified or activated, and plays predominantly oncogenic roles in human cancers, especially in breast cancer. However, the potential function and underlying mechanism of IKBKE contributing to breast cancer metastasis remain largely elusive. Here, we report that depletion of Ikbke markedly decreases polyoma virus middle T antigen (PyVMT)-induced mouse mammary tumorigenesis and subsequent lung metastasis. Biologically, ectopic expression of IKBKE accelerates, whereas depletion of IKBKE attenuates breast cancer invasiveness and migration in vitro and tumor metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, IKBKE tightly controls the stability of transcriptional factor Snail in different layers, in particular by directly phosphorylating Snail, which markedly blocks the E3 ligase β-TRCP1-mediated Snail degradation, resulting in breast cancer epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis. These findings together reveal a novel oncogenic function of IKBKE in promoting breast cancer metastasis by governing Snail abundance, and highlight the potential of targeting IKBKE for metastatic breast cancer therapies.
