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

Highly proliferative and metastatic tumors are constantly exposed to both intrinsic and extrinsic factors that induce adaptation to stressful conditions. Chronic adaptation to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ER stress is common to many different types of cancers, and poses a major challenge for acquired drug resistance. Here we report that LAMC2, an extracellular matrix protein upregulated in many types of cancers, is localized in the ER of lung, breast, and liver cancer cells. Under tunicamycin-induced ER stress, protein level of LAMC2 is upregulated. Transfection of cancer cells with LAMC2 resulted in the attenuation of ER stress phenotype, accompanied by elevation in mitochondrial membrane potential as well as reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and apoptosis. In addition, LAMC2 forms protein complexes with MYH9 and MYH10 to promote mitochondrial aggregation and increased ER-mitochondria interaction at the perinuclear region. Moreover, overexpression of LAMC2 counteracts the effects of ER stress and promotes tumor growth in vivo. Taken together, our results revealed that in complex with MYH9 and MYH10, LAMC2 is essential for promoting ER-mitochondria interaction to alleviate ER stress and allow cancer cells to adapt and proliferate under stressful conditions. This study provides new insights and highlights the promising potential of LAMC2 as a therapeutic target for cancer treatment.
