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

backgroundAbnormal expression of splicing factor 3A subunit 3 (SF3A3), a component of the spliceosome, has been confirmed to be related to the occurrence and development of various cancers. However, the expression and function of SF3A3 in bladder cancer (BC) remains unclear.

methodsThe SF3A3 mRNA and protein level were measured in clinical samples and cell lines by quantitative real-time PCR, Western blot and immunofluorescence staining. Evaluate the clinical correlation between SF3A3 expression and clinicopathological characteristics through statistical analysis in BC patients. The function of SF3A3 in BC cells was determined in vitro using MTT and colony analysis. Co-immunoprecipitation (CoIP) assay was used to detected E2F6 and KDM5C interaction. Luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) were used to examine the relationship between E2F6/KDM5C and SF3A3 expression.

resultsIn the present study, we demonstrated that expression of SF3A3 was elevated in BC tissue compared to the normal bladder tissue. Importantly, the upregulation of SF3A3 in patients was correlated with poor prognosis. Additionally, overexpression of SF3A3 promoted while depletion of SF3A3 reduced the growth of BC cells in vivo and in vitro. Data from the TCGA database and clinical samples revealed that hypomethylation of the DNA promoter leads to high expression of SF3A3 in BC tissue. We found that upregulation of lysine-specific demethylase 5C (KDM5C) promotes SF3A3 expression via hypomethylation of the DNA promoter. The transcription factor E2F6 interacts with KDM5C, recruits KDM5C to the SF3A3 promoter, and demethylates the GpC island of H3K4me2, leading to high SF3A3 expression and BC progression.

conclusionsThe results demonstrated that depletion of the KDM5C/SF3A3 prevents the growth of BC in vivo and in vitro. The E2F6/KDM5C/SF3A3 pathway may be a potential therapeutic target for BC treatment.
