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

backgroundBreast cancer is one of the most common malignancies occurred in female around the globe. Recent studies have revealed the crucial characters of miRNA and genes, as well as the essential roles of epigenetic regulation in breast cancer initiation and progression. In our previous study, miR-142-3p was identified as a tumor suppressor and led to G2/M arrest through targeting CDC25C. However, the specific mechanism is still uncertain.

methodsWe identified PAX5 as the upstream regulator of miR-142-5p/3p through ALGGEN website and verified by series of assays in vitro and in vivo. The expression of PAX5 in breast cancer was detected by qRT-PCR and western blot. Besides, bioinformatics analysis and BSP sequencing were performed to analyze the methylation of PAX5 promoter region. Finally, the binding sites of miR-142 on DNMT1 and ZEB1 were predicted by JASPAR, and proved by luciferase reporter assay, ChIP analysis and co-IP.

resultsPAX5 functioned as a tumor suppressor by positive regulation of miR-142-5p/3p both in vitro and in vivo. The expression of PAX5 was regulated by the methylation of its promoter region induced by DNMT1 and ZEB1. In addition, miR-142-5p/3p could regulate the expression of DNMT1 and ZEB1 through binding with their 3'UTR region, respectively.

conclusionIn summary, PAX5-miR-142-DNMT1/ZEB1 constructed a negative feedback loop to regulate the progression of breast cancer, which provided emerging strategies for breast cancer therapy.
