ALG3 Promotes Peritoneal Metastasis of Ovarian Cancer through Increasing Interaction of α1,3-mannosylated uPAR and ADAM8.
Article in Cells, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Peritoneal metastasis is the main cause of poor prognoses and high mortality in ovarian cancer patients. Abnormal protein glycosylation modification is associated with cancer malignancy. Elevated α1,3-mannosyltransferase 3 (ALG3), which catalyzes the α1,3-mannosylation of glycoproteins, has been found in some malignant tumors. However, the pathological significance of ALG3 and its regulatory mechanism in ovarian cancer metastasis is unclear. The results showed that the level of ALG3/α1,3-mannosylation was higher in human ovarian cancer tissues compared with normal ovarian tissues, as measured by Lectin chip, Western blot and Lectin blot analyses, as well as ovarian tissue microarray analysis. ALG3 was also correlated with the poor prognosis of ovarian cancer patients, according to survival analysis. The downregulation of ALG3 decreased the proliferation, stemness and peritoneal metastasis of ovarian cancer cells. The increase in urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) α1,3-mannosylation catalyzed by ALG3 enhanced urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA)/uPAR activation and the interaction of uPAR with a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 8 (ADAM8), which promoted ovarian cancer peritoneal metastasis via the ADAM8/Ras/ERK pathway. Furthermore, decreased ALG3 suppressed ascites formation and the peritoneal metastasis of ovarian cancer cells in mice. This study highlights ALG3 as a potential diagnostic biomarker and prospective therapeutic target for ovarian cancer.
