Hcp2a of APEC affects mRNA splicing and protein quality control in DF-1 cells.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundBacteria deliver effector proteins into the host cell via a secretory system that can directly act on the target to cause disease. As an important pipeline structural protein of the type VI secretion system (T6SS) complex, Hcp acts together with other virulence factors in the target cell. There is growing evidence that T6SS plays a key role in the pathogenic mechanism of APEC. However, the regulatory function played by the effector protein Hcp during its interaction with host cells is not clear. Here, tandem mass tag (TMT) analysis was used to quantify the proteins affected by increased expression of Hcp2a in DF-1 cells.
resultsThe host response was significantly different between the overexpression and null groups at the protein level. A total of 195 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were detected in the overexpression group (upregulated, n = 144, downregulated, n = 51). Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed to predict the biological functions and pathways of differentially expressed proteins. The results showed that these DEPs were mainly enriched in RNA degradation, spliceosome, and mRNA surveillance pathways.
conclusionsThis study suggests that Hcp2a, the effector protein of APEC, plays an important role in regulating mRNA splicing and protein quality control in DF-1 cells. These findings provide useful clues to elucidate the pathogenic mechanism of effector protein Hcp2a on host target cells.
