Expression and production of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) and PEDF receptor variants from mammalian and bacterial cells.
Article in Protein expression and purification, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Human SERPINF1 gene codes for pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), a secreted glycoprotein and member of the SERPIN superfamily. To obtain large amounts of recombinant PEDF proteins, we subcloned the coding sequence of human SERPINF1 mutated versions into the pCEP4 vector and generated stably transfected HEK.Ebna cells. The cells produced and secreted recombinant PEDF proteins into the culturing media. The recombinant PEDF proteins were purified by ion-exchange column chromatography and milligram amounts of highly purified protein were recovered. PEDF has affinity for PEDF-receptor (PEDF-R), a membrane-linked lipase encoded by the PNPLA2 gene. Recombinant PEDF-R truncated versions were obtained from Escherichia coli containing expression vectors with human PNPLA2 cDNAs with 3'end deletions and by induction with isopropyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside. The bacterially derived PEDF-R proteins in insoluble inclusion bodies were solubilized with urea and purified by cation-exchange column chromatography. C-terminally truncated PEDF-R versions containing the ligand binding region retained the ability to bind PEDF. The data demonstrate that mammalian-derived recombinant PEDF and bacterially derived recombinant PEDF-R can be produced and purified in large amounts for further use in structural and biological studies.
