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

objectivesElimination of brain tumour initiating cells (BTICs) is important for the good prognosis of malignant brain tumour treatment. To develop a novel strategy targeting BTICs, we studied NR2E1(TLX) involved self-renewal mechanism of BTICs and explored the intervention means. MATERIALS AND

methodsNR2E1 and its interacting protein-LSD1 in BTICs were studied by gene interference combined with cell growth, tumour sphere formation, co-immunoprecipitation and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. NR2E1 interacting peptide of LSD1 was identified by Amide Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange and Mass Spectrometry (HDX-MS) and analysed by in vitro functional assays. The in vivo function of the peptide was examined with intracranial mouse model by transplanting patient-derived BTICs.

resultsWe found NR2E1 recruits LSD1, a lysine demethylase, to demethylate mono- and di-methylated histone 3 Lys4 (H3K4me/me2) at the Pten promoter and repress its expression, thereby promoting BTIC proliferation. Using Amide Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange and Mass Spectrometry (HDX-MS) method, we identified four LSD1 peptides that may interact with NR2E1. One of the peptides, LSD1-197-211 that locates at the LSD1 SWIRM domain, strongly inhibited BTIC proliferation by promoting Pten expression through interfering NR2E1 and LSD1 function. Furthermore, overexpression of this peptide in human BTICs can inhibit intracranial tumour formation.

conclusionPeptide LSD1-197-211 can repress BTICs by interfering the synergistic function of NR2E1 and LSD1 and may be a promising lead peptide for brain tumour therapy in future.
