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

objectivesDOT1L, a histone methylase, is overexpression in renal cell cancer. However, the role and detailed molecular mechanism of DOT1L involved in renal cancer development remain unknown.

methodsThe inhibition of DOT1L was used by SGC0946 and short hairpin RNA silencing. Monodansylcadaverine staining and transmission electron microscope were performed to detect autophagy changes as a result of the inhibition of DOT1L. MitoTracker Red assay was used to analyze mitochondrial morphology. The autophagy markers and mitochondria-related proteins were analyzed by Western blot, qPCR, or immunofluorescence. ChIP assay was performed to demonstrate H3K79me2 is involved in the direct regulation of Farnesoid X receptor transcription.

resultsDOT1L inhibition increased autophagy activity and promoted mito chondria fusion in cell lines of renal cancer. Inhibition of DOT1L upregulated levels of LC3α/β, P62, MFN1, and MFN2, which contributed to autophagy activity or mitochondria fusion. DOT1L knockdown showed a similar the above process. DOT1L inhibition or silencing resulted in AMP-activated protein kinase activation and mammalian target of rapamycin inhibition. Mechanistically, the DOT1L inhibitor and its short hairpin RNAs decreased the expression of Farnesoid X receptor in a histone methylase-dependent manner.

conclusionWe revealed the essential role of Farnesoid X receptor in regulating DOT1L-induced autophagy and mitochondrial fission through the AMP-activated protein kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin pathway in cell lines of renal cancer, which may provide new insights into the pathogenesis of renal cell cancer.
