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

Stress granules are membrane-less ribonucleoprotein organelles that assemble upon exposure to stress conditions, but rapidly disassemble upon removal of stress. However, chronic stress can lead to persistent stress granules, a feature of distinct age-related neurodegenerative disorders. Among them, Huntington's disease (HD), which is caused by mutant expansion of the polyglutamine (polyQ) repeats of huntingtin protein (HTT), leading to its aggregation. To identify modulators of mutant HTT aggregation, we define its interactome in striatal neurons differentiated from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (HD-iPSCs). We find that HTT interacts with G3BP1, a characteristic component of stress granules. Knockdown of G3BP1 increases mutant HTT protein levels and abolishes the ability of iPSCs as well as their differentiated neural counterparts to suppress mutant HTT aggregation. Moreover, loss of G3BP1 hastens polyQ-expanded aggregation and toxicity in the neurons of HD C. elegans models. Likewise, the assembly of G3BP1 into stress granules upon distinct stress conditions also reduces its interaction with HTT in human cells, promoting mutant HTT aggregation. Notably, enhancing the levels of G3BP1 is sufficient to induce proteasomal degradation of mutant HTT and prevent its aggregation, whereas the formation of stress granules blocks these ameliorative effects. In contrast, a mutant G3BP1 variant that cannot accumulate into granules retains its capacity to prevent mutant HTT aggregation even when the cells assemble stress granules. Thus, our findings indicate a direct role of G3BP1 and stress granule assembly in mutant HTT aggregation that may have implications for HD.
