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

introductionmiRNA-21 (miR-21) is highly expressed in glioblastoma, facilitating tumor growth by blocking the expression of apoptosis-related genes. Therefore, an antisense microRNA oligonucleotide (AMO) against miR-21 was suggested as a therapeutic nucleic acid for glioblastoma.

objectivesAMO21 co-micelles were developed with tumor-targeting T7 peptides as an AMO21 delivery system by intranasal administration.

methodsCholesterol-conjugated AMO21 (AMO21c) was mixed with cholesterol-conjugated T7 peptides (T7c) to produce tumor-targeted co-micelles. Physical characterization was performed by dynamic light scattering, gel retardation assay, scanning electron microscope and heparin competition assay. In vitro transfection efficiency to C6 glioblastoma cells was measured by flow cytometry. The AMO21c/T7c co-micelles were administered by intranasal instillation into the brain of intracranial glioblastoma rat models. Scrambled T7 (scrT7) and scrambled AMO21c (scrAMO21c) were used as a negative control. The therapeutic effects of the AMO21c/T7c co-micelles were evaluated by real time RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, TUNEL assay, and Nissl staining.

resultsThe formation of the AMO21c/T7c co-micelles was confirmed in gel retardation and heparin competition assays. The highest delivery efficiency in vitro was achieved at a 1:10 wt ratio of AMO21c/T7c. The AMO21c/T7c co-micelles had higher delivery efficiency into C6 glioblastoma cells than naked AMO21c or AMO21c/lipofectamine complexes. After intranasal administration into the intracranial glioblastoma models, the delivery efficiency of the co-micelles into the brain was also higher than those of naked AMO21c and AMO21c/scrambled T7c. Thanks to their enhanced delivery efficiency, the AMO21c/T7c co-micelles downregulated miR-21, inducing the production of the pro-apoptotic phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) proteins in the tumor tissues. The tumor size was reduced by the AMO21c/T7c co-micelles more effectively than naked AMO21c, AMO21c/lipofectamine, or scrAMO21c/T7c treatment.

conclusionThe results suggest that the co-micelles of AMO21c and T7c may be an efficient delivery system into a brain tumor through intranasal administration.
