Serine/threonine kinase 36 induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition promotes docetaxel resistance in prostate cancer.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
To investigate the role and potential mechanism of serine/threonine kinase 36 (STK36) in docetaxel resistance-prostate cancer (PCa). The expression of STK36 in PCa and the correlation with clinicopathological characteristics of PCa patients were analyzed using the data from different databases and tissue microarrays. To investigate the role of STK36 on cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, STK36 was overexpressed and silenced in DU-145 and PC-3 cell lines. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) was used to test cell proliferation. Cell invasion and migration were detected by cell wound scratch assay and trans well, respectively. The expression profile of STK36, E-Cadherin, and Vimentin was analyzed by Western blot. Cell apoptosis was detected by the TUNEL assay. STK36 expression was upregulated in PCa tissue compared with adjacent benign PCa tissue; it was higher in patients with advanced stages compared with lower stages and was significantly correlated with decreased overall survival. Up-regulation of STK36 significantly promoted the proliferation, invasion, and migration of DU-145 and PC-3 cells and compensated for the suppression caused by docetaxel treatment in vitro. A striking apoptosis inhibition could be observed when dealing with docetaxel, although the apoptosis of DU-145 and PC-3 cells was not affected by the STK36 exclusive overexpression. Besides, E-Cadherin expression was restrained while the expression levels of vimentin were all enhanced. The knockdown of STK36 reversed the above process. STK36 up-regulation could accelerate the biological behavior and docetaxel resistance of PCa by epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) activation. STK36 may be potentially used as a target in PCa resolvent with docetaxel.
