1,5-Anhydroglucitol promotes pre-B acute lymphocytic leukemia progression by driving glycolysis and reactive oxygen species formation.

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
backgroundPrecursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pre-B ALL) is the most common hematological malignancy in children. Cellular metabolic reorganization is closely related to the progression and treatment of leukemia. We found that the level of 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), which is structurally similar to glucose, was elevated in children with pre-B ALL. However, the effect of 1,5-AG on pre-B ALL was unclear. Here, we aimed to reveal the roles and mechanisms of 1,5-AG in pre-B ALL progression.
methodsThe peripheral blood plasma level of children with initial diagnosis of pre-B ALL and that of healthy children was measured using untargeted metabolomic analysis. Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, RNA sequencing, siRNA transfection, real-time quantitative PCR, and western blot were performed using pre-B ALL cell lines Reh and HAL-01. Cell cycle, cell apoptosis, ROS levels, and the positivity rate of CD19 were assessed using flow cytometry. Oxygen consumption rates and extracellular acidification rate were measured using XFe24 Extracellular Flux Analyzer. The lactate and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate levels were measured using kits. The effect of 1,5-AG on pre-B ALL progression was verified using the In Vivo Imaging System in a xenotransplantation leukemia model.
resultsWe confirmed that 1,5-AG promoted the proliferation, viability, and intracellular glycolysis of pre-B ALL cells. Mechanistically, 1,5-AG promotes glycolysis while inhibiting mitochondrial respiration by upregulating pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4). Furthermore, high levels of intracellular glycolysis promote pre-B ALL progression by activating the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) pathway. Conversely, N-acetylcysteine or vitamin C, an antioxidant, effectively inhibited 1,5-AG-mediated progression of leukemia cells.
conclusionsOur study reveals a previously undiscovered role of 1,5-AG in pre-B ALL, which contributes to an in-depth understanding of anaerobic glycolysis in the progression of pre-B ALL and provides new targets for the clinical treatment of pre-B ALL.
