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

backgroundMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widely used in regenerative medicine and cell-based transplantations. However, an in-depth comparison of the different MSC origins is lacking. This study aimed to compare the expression of adipose-derived (AMSCs), bone marrow-derived (BMSCs), and tonsil-derived (TMSCs) and evaluate whether TMSCs are good alternatives for AMSCs or BMSCs.

methodsWe analyzed the expression levels of 47,000 transcripts in AMSCs (n = 4), BMSCs (n = 4), and TMSCs (n = 4) using GeneChip. Microarray data were analyzed using the LIMMA package to compare the TMSCs, AMSCs, and BMSCs. Hub genes were analyzed using STRING and Cytoscape. To ascertain the functional roles of AURKA and AURKB, small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules specifically targeting AURKA and AURKB mRNA were synthesized and employed to induce knockdown of AURKA and AURKB in TMSC and AMSC. We analyzed the expression level of OCT4, SOX-2, and NANOG genes in TMSC and AMSCs by cell culture and real-time PCR.

resultsWe identified commonly increased 256 and decreased 160 genes in TMSCs from the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the TMSCs, AMSCs, and BMSCs. In the DEG-based protein-protein interaction and gene set enrichment analysis, hub genes (AURKA, AURKB, CDC20, and BUB1) highly expressed in TMSCs were enriched for development- and progression-related oocyte meiosis, the cell cycle, and ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. In vitro analysis demonstrated that cells with downregulated expression of AURKA and AURKB exhibited a significant reduction in proliferation compared to control cells. However, silencing of the genes did not affect the differentiation capacity in TMSCs and AMSCs.

conclusionOur study compared MSCs of different origins to better understand the similarities and differences among these cell types.
