lncRNAs UC.145 and PRKG1-AS1 Determine the Functional Output of DKK1 in Regulating the Wnt Signaling Pathway in Gastric Cancer.
Article in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
DKK1 inhibits the canonical Wnt signaling pathway that is known to be involved in various cancers. However, whether DKK1 acts as an oncogene or tumor suppressor gene remains controversial. Furthermore, the DKK1-regulating mechanism in gastric cancer has not yet been defined. The aim of this study was to explore whether the ultraconserved region UC.145 regulates epigenetic changes in DKK1 expression in gastric cancer. Microarray analysis revealed that UC.145 exhibited the highest binding affinity to EZH2, a histone methyltransferase. The effects of UC.145 inactivation were assessed in gastric cancer cell lines using siRNA. The results indicated that UC.145 triggers DKK1 methylation via interaction with EZH2 and is involved in the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Additionally, interaction between UC.145 and another long non-coding RNA adjacent to DKK1, PRKG1-AS1, induced a synergistic effect on Wnt signaling. The regulation of these three genes was closely associated with patient overall survival. Inactivation of UC.145 induced apoptosis and inhibited the growth and migratory, invasive, and colony-forming abilities of gastric cancer cells. The study findings provide insights into Wnt signaling in gastric cancer and support UC.145 as a potential novel predictive biomarker for the disease.
