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

Background: Ferroptosis, a newly discovered mode of cell death, emerges as a new target for atherosclerosis (AS). Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the regulation of ferroptosis. In our previous study, lnc-MRGPRF-6:1 was highly expressed in patients with coronary atherosclerotic disease (CAD) and closely associated with macrophage-mediated inflammation in AS. In the present study, we aim to investigate the role of lnc-MRGPRF-6:1 in oxidized-low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced macrophage ferroptosis in AS. Methods: Firstly, ox-LDL-treated macrophages were used to simulate macrophage injury in AS. Then, ferroptosis-related biomarkers and mitochondrial morphology were detected and observed in ox-LDL-treated macrophages. Subsequently, we constructed lnc-MRGPRF-6:1 knockdown and overexpression of THP-1-derived macrophages and investigated the role of lnc-MRGPRF-6:1 in ox-LDL-induced ferroptosis. Then human monocytes were isolated successfully and were used to explore the role of lnc-MRGPRF-6:1 in macrophage ferroptosis. Likely, we constructed lnc-MRGPRF-6:1 knockdown and overexpression of human monocyte-derived macrophages and detected the expression levels of ferroptosis-related biomarkers. Then, transcriptome sequencing, literature searching, and following quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot were implemented to explore specific signaling pathway in the process. It was demonstrated that lnc-MRGPRF-6:1 may regulate ox-LDL-induced macrophage ferroptosis through glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Eventually, the correlation between lnc-MRGPRF-6:1 and GPX4 was measured in monocyte-derived macrophages of CAD patients and controls. Results: The ox-LDL-induced injury in macrophages was involved in ferroptosis. The knockdown of lnc-MRGPRF-6:1 could alleviate ox-LDL-induced ferroptosis in macrophages. Meanwhile, the overexpression of lnc-MRGPRF-6:1 could intensify ox-LDL-induced ferroptosis. Furthermore, the knockdown of lnc-MRGPRF-6:1 could alleviate the decrease of GPX4 induced by RAS-selective lethal compounds 3 (RSL-3). These indicated that lnc-MRGPRF-6:1 may suppress GPX4 to induce macrophage ferroptosis. Eventually, lnc-MRGPRF-6:1 was highly expressed in the monocyte-derived macrophages of CAD patients and was negatively correlated with the expression of GPX4. Conclusion: lnc-MRGPRF-6:1 can promote ox-LDL-induced macrophage ferroptosis through inhibiting GPX4.
