ERK/MAPK Signalling Pathway Regulates MMP2 through ETS1 in Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Current molecular medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe c-ETS-1 (ETS1) expression is high in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) tissues; however, how it impacts ccRCC is currently unknown.
methodsThe online STRING web source was used to construct a protein network interacting with ETS1. The Cell Counting Kit-8 was used to detect the cell viability. A clonogenic assay, a wound-healing assay, and a Transwell assay were used to detect cell proliferation, invasion and migration abilities. Western blot was used to detect the expression of proteins.
resultsThe data showed the expression of ETS1 in ccRCC tissues to be significantly increased compared to adjacent tissues (p<0.05). The positive expression of ETS1 in ccRCC patients aged 20-100 was statistically significant compared to adjacent normal tissues (p<0.05). The grade of ETS1 positive expression (1-4) and lymph node metastasis (N1) in ccRCC were significantly higher than those in adjacent normal tissues (p<0.05). The tumour stage (stages 1-4) in ccRCC patients with positive ETS1 expression was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues (p<0.05). Knockdown of ETS1 and PERK inhibitors significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of ccRCC cells. Knockdown of ETS1 inhibited MMP-2 expression, and an extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) inhibitor inhibited both ETS1 and MMP-2 expression.
conclusionA high expression of ETS1 is associated with the progression of ccRCC. This study suggests that ETS1 promotes proliferation by increasing MMP2 expression in ccRCC, and combined knockdown of ETS1 and inhibition of ERK can significantly inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of ccRCC. ETS1 may be a therapeutic and prognostic target for renal cell carcinoma.
