WDR5-HOTTIP Histone Modifying Complex Regulates Neural Migration and Dendrite Polarity of Pyramidal Neurons via Reelin Signaling.
Article in Molecular neurobiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
WD-repeat domain 5 (WDR5), a core component of histone methyltransferase complexes, is associated with Kabuki syndrome and Kleefstra syndrome that feature intellectual disability and neurodevelopmental delay. Despite its critical status in gene regulation and neurological disorders, the role of WDR5 in neural development is unknown. Here we show that WDR5 is required for normal neuronal placement and dendrite polarization in the developing cerebral cortex. WDR5 knockdown led to defects in both entry into the bipolar transition of pyramidal neurons within the intermediate zone and radial migration into cortical layers. Moreover, WDR5 deficiency disrupted apical and basal polarity of cortical dendrites. Aberrant dendritic spines and synapses accompanied the dendrite polarity phenotype. WDR5 deficiency reduced expression of reelin signaling receptors, ApoER and VdldR, which were associated with abnormal H3K4 methylation and H4 acetylation on their promoter regions. Finally, an lncRNA, HOTTIP, was found to be a partner of WDR5 to regulate dendritic polarity and reelin signaling via histone modification. Our results demonstrate a novel role for WDR5 in neuronal development and provide mechanistic insights into the neuropathology associated with histone methyltransferase dysfunction.
