Curcumin Inhibits Cell Damage and Apoptosis Caused by Thapsigargin-Induced Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Involving the Recovery of Mitochondrial Function Mediated by Mitofusin-2.
Article in Neurotoxicity research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and mitochondrial dysfunction have been suggested to relate with the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, their cross-talk is needed to investigate further. Mitofusin-2 (Mfn2) is a member of mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM), which connects endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria. This study investigated the protective effect of curcumin on thapsigargin (TG)-induced ERS and cell apoptosis and the role of Mfn2 on mitochondrial dysfunction. The cell viability of SH-SY5Y cells was decreased and cell damage and apoptosis were increased in a concentration-dependent manner when cells were treated with TG. TG upregulated the protein levels of GRP78, pSer981-PERK, and pSer51-eIF2α. Curcumin attenuated TG-induced damage on cell viability and apoptosis and downregulated the protein levels of GRP78, pSer981-PERK, and pSer51-eIF2α. TG caused the increases in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and in the protein levels of pSer40-Nrf2 and hemoglobin oxygenase 1 (HO-1). Curcumin decreased the TG-induced intracellular ROS but did not alter the protein levels of pSer40-Nrf2 and HO-1. TG resulted in the upregulation on Mfn2 expression and mitochondrial spare respiratory capacity but the downregulation on mitochondrial basal respiration and ATP production. Curcumin attenuated the TG-induced Mfn2 expression and mitochondrial stress. When Mfn2 was silenced by shRNA interference, curcumin failed to recovery the TG-damaged mitochondrial function. In general, the TG-induced ERS trigged mitochondrial dysfunction and cell apoptosis. Curcumin attenuates TG-induced ERS and the cell damage and apoptosis. Mfn2 is required for curcumin's protection against the TG-induced damage on mitochondrial functions.
