Therapeutic effect of multiple functional minicircle vector encoding anti-CD25/IL-10/CXCR3 in allograft rejection model.
Article in The Korean journal of internal medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND/
aimsWe previously proposed minicircle vector technology as the potential platform for the development and production of new biologics. In this study, we have designed a novel target molecule for the treatment of allograft rejection and evaluated its feasibility as the therapeutic agent in this disease using the minicircle vector system.
methodsWe engineered vectors to carry cassette sequences for anti-CD25, interleukin-10 (IL-10), and C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) fusion protein, and then isolated minicircle vectors from the parent vectors. We verified the substantial production of anti-CD25/IL-10/CXCR3 fusion protein from minicircles and their duration in HEK293T cells and mice models. We also evaluated whether minicircle-derived anti-CD25/IL-10/CXCR3 has therapeutic effects in a skin allograft in mice model.
resultsWe confirmed the production of anti-CD25/IL-10/CXCR3 from minicircle by its significant availability in cells transfected with the minicircle and in its conditioned media. After a single injection of minicircle by hydrodynamic injection via mouse tail vein, luminescence or red fluorescence was maintained until 40 days in the liver tissue, suggesting the production of anti-CD25/IL-10/CXCR3 protein from minicircles via protein synthesis machinery in the liver. Mice treated with the minicircle encoding anti-CD25/IL-10/CXCR3 showed prolonged skin allograft survival times accompanied by improved immunologic regulation e.g., reduction of the lymphocyte population of Th1, Th2, and Th17 and an induction of regulatory T cells.
conclusionThese findings implied that self-generated anti-CD25/IL-10/CXCR3 protein drug by minicircle technology is functionally active and relevant for reducing allograft rejection. The minicircle vector system may be useful for developing new biological drugs, avoiding manufacturing or practical problems.
