Hypoxia Affects Mitochondrial Stress and Facilitates Tumor Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer Through Slug SUMOylation.
Article in Current molecular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignant tumor. Slug has been found to display a key role in diversified cancers, but its relevant regulatory mechanisms in CRC development are not fully explored.
objectiveHence, exploring the function and regulatory mechanisms of Slug is critical for the treatment of CRC.
methodsProtein expressions of Slug, N-cadherin, E-cadherin, Snail, HIF-1α, SUMO- 1, Drp1, Opa1, Mfn1/2, PGC-1α, NRF1, and TFAM were measured through western blot. To evaluate the protein expression of Slug and SUMO-1, an immunofluorescence assay was used. Cell migration ability was tested through transwell assay. The SUMOylation of Slug was examined through CO-IP assay.
resultsSlug displayed higher expression and facilitated tumor metastasis in CRC. In addition, hypoxia treatment was discovered to upregulate HIF-1α, Slug, and SUMO-1 levels, as well as induce Slug SUMOylation. Slug SUMOylation markedly affected mitochondrial biosynthesis, fusion, and mitogen-related protein expression levels to trigger mitochondrial stress. Additionally, the induced mitochondrial stress by hypoxia could be rescued by Slug inhibition and TAK-981 treatment.
conclusionOur study expounded that hypoxia affects mitochondrial stress and facilitates tumor metastasis of CRC through Slug SUMOylation.
