ABCC4 suppresses glioblastoma progression and recurrence by restraining cGMP-PKG signalling.
Article in British journal of cancer, 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
backgroundCyclic nucleotides are critical mediators of cellular signalling in glioblastoma. However, the clinical relevance and mechanisms of regulating cyclic nucleotides in glioblastoma progression and recurrence have yet to be thoroughly explored.
methodsIn silico, mRNA, and protein level analyses identified the primary regulator of cyclic nucleotides in recurrent human glioblastoma. Lentiviral and pharmacological manipulations examined the functional impact of cyclic nucleotide signalling in human glioma cell lines and primary glioblastoma cells. An orthotopic xenograft mice model coupled with aspirin hydrogels verified the in vivo outcome of targeting cyclic nucleotide signalling.
resultsElevated intracellular levels of cGMP, instead of cAMP, due to a lower substrate efflux from ATP-binding cassette sub-family C member 4 (ABCC4) is engaged in the recurrence of glioblastoma. ABCC4 gene expression is negatively associated with recurrence and overall survival outcomes in glioblastoma specimens. ABCC4 loss-of-function activates cGMP-PKG signalling, promoting malignancy in glioblastoma cells and xenografts. Hydrogels loaded with aspirin, inhibiting glioblastoma progression partly by upregulating ABCC4 expressions, augment the efficacy of standard-of-care therapies in orthotopic glioblastoma xenografts.
conclusionABCC4, repressing the cGMP-PKG signalling pathway, is a tumour suppressor in glioblastoma progression and recurrence. Aspirin hydrogels impede glioblastoma progression through ABCC4 restoration and constitute a viable translational approach.
