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

backgroundChaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 3 (CCT3) acts as an oncogene in cancers, whereas its role and underlying mechanisms in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) are poorly understood. This study investigated the clinical relevance and function of CCT3 in LUAD.

methodsClinical relevance of CCT3 in LUAD and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) was analyzed based on TCGA database. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect mRNA and protein expression, respectively. CCK8 and colony formation were performed to measure cell viability. PI and PI/Annexin V-FITC assay kit was used to determine cell cycle and cell death, respectively. Luciferase activity was performed to check whether CCT3 regulated slc7a11's transcription activity. Ferroptosis was determined by incubating the cells with ferroptosis and apoptosis inducer, their inhibitor and autophagy inhibitor, followed by cell viability examination.

resultsWe found that CCT3 was overexpressed in LUAD and LUSC tissues. Overexpression of CCT3 predicted the poor prognosis of LUAD patients. Loss-of-function and gain-of-function experiments demonstrated that CCT3 promoted the proliferation and colony formation of LUAD cells. In addition, CCT3 promoted cell cycle progression and suppressed slc7a11-mediated cell ferroptosis, but not apoptosis. We also found that CCT3 activated AKT. MK2206 significantly reduced the viability of CCT3 overexpressed LUAD cells, while had smaller inhibitory effect on the proliferation of control cells, suggesting that CCT3 dictates the sensitivity of LUAD cells to AKT inhibition.

conclusionOur study demonstrates that CCT3 contributes to the proliferation and growth of LUAD cells through inhibition of ferroptosis and activation of AKT.
