Long noncoding RNA HOXC-AS3 remodels lipid metabolism and promotes the proliferation of transformed macrophages in the glioma stem cell microenvironment by regulating the hnRNPA1/CaM axis.

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
Metabolism remodelling of macrophages in the glioblastoma microenvironment contributes to immunotherapeutic resistance. However, glioma stem cell (GSC)-initiated lipid metabolism remodelling of transformed macrophages (tMΦs) and its effect on the glioblastoma microenvironment have not been fully elucidated. Total cholesterol (TC) levels and lipid metabolism enzyme expression in macrophages in the GSC microenvironment were evaluated and found that the TC levels of tMΦs were increased, and the expression of the lipid metabolism enzymes calmodulin (CaM), apolipoprotein E (ApoE), and liver X receptor (LXR) was upregulated. Knockdown of HOXC-AS3 led to a decrease in the proliferation, colony formation, invasiveness, and tumorigenicity of tMΦs. Downregulation of CaM resulted in a decline in TC levels. HOXC-AS3 overexpression led to increases in both CaM expression levels and TC levels in tMΦs. RNA pull down and mass spectrometry experiments were conducted and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNPA1) was screened as the HOXC-AS3 binding proteins related to lipid metabolism. RIP and RNA pull down assays verified that HOXC-AS3 can form a complex with hnRNPA1. Knockdown of hnRNPA1 downregulated CaM expression; however, downregulation of HOXC-AS3 did not affect hnRNPA1 expression.TMΦs underwent lipid metabolism remodelling induced by GSC via the HOXC-AS3/hnRNPA1/CaM pathway, which enhanced the protumor activities of tMΦs, and may serve as a potential metabolic intervening target to improve glioblastoma immunotherapy.
