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

backgroundThe immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody can inhibit the progress of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) can promote tumor migration and the formation of immune-suppression microenvironment, which affects the therapeutic effect of ICI. Yin-yang-1 (YY1) is an important transcription factor regulating proliferation, migration and EMT of tumor cells. This work proposed a drug-development strategy that combined the regulation of YY1-mediated tumor progression with ICIs for the treatment of HCC.

methodsWe first studied the proteins that regulated YY1 expression by using pull-down, co-immunoprecipitation, and duo-link assay. The active compound regulating YY1 content was screened by virtual screening and cell-function assay. Isorhamnetin (ISO) and anti-PD-L1 antibody dual-functional mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSN-ISO@ProA-PD-L1 Ab) were prepared as an antitumor drug to play a synergistic anti-tumor role.

resultsYY1 can specifically bind with the deubiquitination enzyme USP7. USP7 can prevent YY1 from ubiquitin-dependent degradation and stabilize YY1 expression, which can promote the proliferation, migration and EMT of HCC cells. Isorhamnetin (ISO) were screened out, which can target USP7 and promote YY1 ubiquitin-dependent degradation. The cell experiments revealed that the HMSN-ISO@ProA-PD-L1 Ab nanoparticles can specifically target tumor cells and play a role in the controlled release of ISO. HMSN-ISO@ProA-PD-L1 Ab nanoparticles inhibited the growth of Hepa1-6 transplanted tumors and the effect was better than that of PD-L1 Ab treatment group and ISO treatment group. HMSN-ISO@ProA-PD-L1 Ab nanoparticles also exerted a promising effect on reducing MDSC content in the tumor microenvironment and promoting T-cell infiltration in tumors.

conclusionsThe isorhamnetin and anti-PD-L1 antibody dual-functional nanoparticles can improve tumor immune microenvironment and inhibit YY1-mediated tumor progression. This study demonstrated the possibility of HCC treatment strategies based on inhibiting USP7-mediated YY1 deubiquitination combined with anti-PD-L1 monoclonal Ab.
