Protective Effects of Relaxin 2 (RLXH2) against Hypoxia-Induced Oxidative Damage and Cell Death via Activation of The Nrf2/HO-1 Signalling Pathway in Gastric Cancer Cells.
Article in Cell journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveThis study aims to investigate the potential role of relaxin, a peptide hormone, in preventing cellular deterioration and death in gastric carcinoma cells under hypoxic conditions. It explores the effects of recombinant relaxin 2 (RLXH2) on growth, cell differentiation, invasive potential, and oxidative damage in these cells. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this experimental study, the NCI-N87 cell line was cultured under normal conditions and then subjected to hypoxia using cobalt chloride (CoCl
resultsThis study demonstrates, for the first time, that RLXH2 significantly reduces the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in gastric cancer cells under hypoxic conditions. RLXH2 also enhances the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and catalase (CAT), leading to a decrease in hypoxia-induced oxidative damage. RLXH2 promotes the translocation of Nrf2 to the nucleus, resulting in HO-1 expression.
conclusionOur findings suggest that RLXH2 plays a significant protective role against hypoxia-induced oxidative damage in gastric carcinoma cells through the Nrf2/HO-1 signalling pathway. This research contributes to a better understanding of the potential therapeutic applications of RLXH2 in gastric cancer treatment.
