A novel mechanism for macrophage pyroptosis in rheumatoid arthritis induced by Pol β deficiency.
Article in Cell death & disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic and inflammatory autoimmune disease. Macrophage pyroptosis, a proinflammatory form of cell death, is critically important in RA; however, the detailed mechanism underlying pyroptosis induction is not yet well understood. Here, we report that DNA polymerase β (Pol β), a key enzyme in base excision repair, plays a pivotal role in RA pathogenesis. Our data shows that Pol β expression is significantly decreased in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from active RA patients and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice, and Pol β deficiency increases the incidence of RA, macrophage infiltration, and bone destruction in CIA mouse models. In vitro, experiments showed that Pol β deficiency exacerbated macrophage pyroptosis induced by LPS plus ATP, while overexpression of Pol β inhibited macrophage pyroptosis. Further characterization revealed that Pol β knockout resulted in DNA damage accumulation and cytosolic dsDNA leakage, which activated the cGAS-STING-NF-κB signaling pathway and upregulated the expression of NLRP3, IL-1 β, and IL-18. In conclusion, our findings clarify the influence of Pol β on the development of RA and provide a detailed explanation for the STING-NF-κB pathway to induce macrophage pyroptosis.
