Anticancer efficacy of hirsuteine against colorectal cancer by opposite modulation of wild-type and mutant p53.
Article in Discover oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThe present study aimed to explore the anticancer activity of hirsuteine (HST), an indole alkaloid from the traditional Chinese herbal medicine Uncaria rhynchophylla, against colorectal cancer (CRC) and the underlining mechanism.
methodsMTT, colony formation, flow cytometry and MDC staining were conducted to confirm the antiproliferative effect of HST on human CRC cells harboring different p53 status. Protein expressions were evaluated by the Western blot analysis. p53 protein half-life and the interaction between p53 and MDM2 were investigated using cycloheximide (CHX)-chase assay and Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), respectively. Transcriptional activity of p53 was examined by qRT-PCR and Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Xenograft tumor in nude mice was created to evaluate in vivo anticancer effect of HST against CRC.
resultsHST inhibited cell growth, arrested cell cycle and induced autophagy, showing efficient anticancer effects on CRC cells independent of p53 status. In HCT-8 cells, HST prolonged wtp53 half-life, and upregulated mRNA level of p21, suggesting that HST activated the p53 pathway through enhancement of wtp53 stability and transcriptional activity. Meanwhile in SW620 cells, HST induced MDM2-mediated proteasomal degradation of mutp53
conclusionThis study revealed the anticancer efficacy of HST against CRC via opposite modulation of wtp53 and mutp53
