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

backgroundCervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common gynecological tumors that threatens women's health and lives. Aberrant expression of PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) is closely related with a range of cancers and can serve as a tumor promoter or suppressor in proliferation, migration and invasion. In this study, the aim was not only to discover differential expression of piRNA in CC tissue (CC cells) and normal cervical tissue (normal cervical epithelium cells), but also to investigate the biological function and action mechanism of piRNA in CC.

methodsThe DESeq2 approach was used to estimate fold change in piRNA between CC tissue and normal cervical tissue. The relative expressions of piRNAs (piRNA-20657, piRNA-20497, piRNA-14633 and piRNA-13350) and RNA m6A methyltransferases/demethylases were detected using RT-qPCR. After intervention with piRNA-14633 and METTL14 expression, the viability of CaSki cells and SiHa cells was detected by CCK8. CC cell proliferation was detected by colony formation assay. Apoptosis rate and cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry. Transwell assay was performed to detect cell migration and invasion. EpiQuik m6A RNA Methylation Quantification Kit was used to evaluate m6A RNA methylation levels. Expression of methyltransferase-like protein 14 (METTL14), PIWIL-proteins and CYP1B1 were detected by RT-qPCR and western blot. The effect of piRNA-14633 on METTL14 was evaluated by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. The in vivo effects of piRNA-14633 on CC was assessed by nude mice experiments.

resultspiRNA-14633 showed high expression in CC tissues and cells, piRNA-14633 mimic (piRNA-14633 overexpression) promoted viability, proliferation, migration and invasion of CaSki cells and SiHa cells. Besides, piRNA-14633 mimic increased m6A RNA methylation levels and METTL14 mRNA stability. Results of dual luciferase reporter assays indicated that METTL14 was a directed target gene of piRNA-14633. Knockdown of METTL14 with siRNA attenuated proliferation, migration and invasion of CC cells. piRNA-14633 increased CYP1B1 expression, while silencing of METTL14 impaired its expression. The effect of piRNA overexpression on METTL14 expression has concentration-dependent characteristics. Results from in vivo experiment indicated that piRNA-14633 promoted cervical tumor growth.

conclusionpiRNA-14633 promotes proliferation, migration and invasion of CC cells by METTL14/CYP1B1 signaling axis, highlighting the important role of piRNA-14633 in CC.
