UPLC-Q-TOF/MS-Based Metabolomics Approach Reveals Osthole Intervention in Breast Cancer 4T1 Cells.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Osthole (OST) is a simple coumarin derivative with pharmacological effects in many types of cancer cells. However, its role and its mechanism of action in breast cancer 4T1 cells remain unclear. In this study, we explored the effects and potential mechanisms of action of OST in 4T1 cells. The MTT, PI, and Annexin V-FITC/PI methods were used to evaluate the effects of OST-treated and untreated 4T1 cells on viability, cell cycle, and apoptosis, respectively. UPLC-Q-TOF/MS combined with multivariate data analysis was used to screen potential biomarkers relevant to the therapeutic mechanisms of OST. Additionally, mTOR, SREBP1, and FASN protein levels were detected using western blotting in OST-treated and untreated 4T1 cells. OST inhibited 4T1 cell proliferation, blocked the cells from remaining in S-phase, and induced apoptosis. In 4T1 cells, OST mainly affected the phospholipid biosynthesis, methyl histidine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, and β-oxidation of very long chain fatty acid pathways, suggesting that metabolic changes related to lipid metabolism-mediated signaling systems were the most influential pathways, possibly via inhibition of mTOR/SREBP1/FASN signaling. Our findings reveal biomarkers with potential therapeutic effects in breast cancer and provide insight into the therapeutic and metabolic mechanisms of OST in 4T1 cells.
