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

backgroundChinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the most predominantly utilized host for the production of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and other complex glycoproteins. A major challenge in the process of CHO cell culture is the occurrence of cell death following different stressful conditions, which hinders the production yield. Engineering genes involved in pathways related to cell death is a remarkable strategy to delay apoptosis, improve cell viability and enhance productivity. SIRT6 is a stress-responsive protein that regulates DNA repair, maintains genome integrity, and is critical for longevity and cell survival in organisms. METHODS AND

resultsIn this study, SIRT6 was stably overexpressed in CHO-K1 cells and the impact of its expression on apoptosis related gene expression profile, viability, apoptosis, and mAb productivity was investigated. While a significant increase was observed in Bcl-2 mRNA level, caspase-3 and Bax mRNA levels were decreased in the SIRT6 engineered cells compared to the parental CHO-K1 cells. Moreover, improved cell viability and decreased rate of apoptotic progression was observed in a SIRT6-derived clone in comparision to the CHO-K1 cells during 5 days of batch culture. anti-CD52 IgG1 mAb titers were improved up to 1.7- and 2.8-fold in SIRT6-derived clone during transient and stable expression, respectively.

conclusionsThis study indicates the positive effects of SIRT6 overexpression on cell viability and anti-CD52 IgG1 mAb expression in CHO-K1 cells. Further studies are needed to examine the potential of SIRT6-engineered host cells for the production of recombinant biotherapeutics in industrial settings.
