SP-8356 (A Verbenone Derivative) Inhibits Proliferation, Suppresses Cell Migration and Invasion and Decreases Tumor Growth of Osteosarcoma: Role of PGC-1α/TFAM and AMPK-Activation.
Article in Cell journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveOsteosarcoma (OS) is an uncommon sarcoma with osteoid formation in conjunction with malignant mesenchymal cells on histological examination. SP-8356 has been reported to exhibit anti-cancer properties in human cancers. However the impact of SP-8356 on OS is largely unknown. The metabolic pathways are coordinated by AMPactivated protein kinase (AMPK), which maintains a balance between the supply and demand of nutrients and energy. This study aimed to investigate effect of SP-8356 on proliferation and apoptosis of OS cells and tumor growth in mice. Furthermore, involvement of PGC-1α/TFAM and AMPK-activation was studied. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn the experimental study, Saos-2 and MG63 cells were cultured with SP-8356 for 24 hours and analysed for cellular proliferation using MTT assay. DNA fragmentation was studied using ELISA based kit. Furthermore, transwell chambers assay was used to determine cell migration and cell invasion. Targeted protein expression levels were assessed using western blotting. For in vivo studies, mice (5-6 weeks old) were implanted with either Saos-2 or MG63 cells on dorsal surface subcutaneously and they were administered with SP-8356 (10 mg/kg) for two weeks prior to bone tumor induction.
resultsWe found that SP-8356 exerted anti-proliferative effects on Saos-2 and MG63 cells. Furthermore, SP-8356 treatment significantly restricted migration and invasion of Saos-2 and MG63 cells. Compared to the control, SP-8356 significantly reduced apoptotic cell death, while it increased PGC-1α and TFAM expressions. Without affecting body weight, SP-8356 significantly reduced tumor development in mice, as compared to the control group.
conclusionSP-8356 was found to inhibit proliferation, suppressed cells migration and invasion and decreased OS tumor growth. Furthermore, SP-8356 was found to act through PGC-1α/TFAM and AMPK activations. SP-8356 can be therefore used as therapeutic agent for OS treatment.
