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

backgroundThe mechanism of action of romidepsin and other histone deacetylase inhibitors is still not fully explained. Our goal was to gain a mechanistic understanding of the RAS-linked phenotype associated with romidepsin sensitivity.

methodsThe NCI60 dataset was screened for molecular clues to romidepsin sensitivity. Histone acetylation, DNA damage, ROS production, metabolic state (real-time measurement and metabolomics), and gene expression alterations (transcriptomics) were determined in KRAS-WT versus KRAS-mutant cell groups. The search for biomarkers in response to HDACi was implemented by supervised machine learning analysis on a 608-cell transcriptomic dataset and validated in a clinical dataset.

resultsRomidepsin treatment induced depletion in acetyl-CoA in all tested cell lines, which led to oxidative stress, metabolic stress, and increased death-particularly in KRAS-mutant cell lines. Romidepsin-induced stresses and death were rescued by acetyl-CoA replenishment. Two acetyl-CoA gene expression signatures associated with HDACi sensitivity were derived from machine learning analysis in the CCLE (Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia) cell panel. Signatures were then validated in the training cohort for seven HDACi, and in an independent 13-patient cohort treated with belinostat.

conclusionsOur study reveals the importance of acetyl-CoA metabolism in HDAC sensitivity, and it highlights acetyl-CoA generation pathways as potential targets to combine with HDACi.
