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

The lncRNA tumor protein translationally controlled 1-antisense RNA 1 (TPT1-AS1) is known for its oncogenic role in various cancers, but its impact on the pathological progression of prostate cancer remains unclear. Our previous study demonstrated that the RE1-silencing transcription factor (REST) regulates neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) in prostate cancer (PCA) by derepressing specific long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), including TPT1-AS1. In this study, we revealed that TPT1-AS1 is overexpressed in LNCaP and C4-2B cells after IL-6 and enzalutamide treatment. By analyzing The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) prostate adenocarcinoma dataset, we detected upregulated TPT1-AS1 expression in neuroendocrine-associated PCA but not in prostate adenocarcinoma. Single-cell RNA sequencing data further confirmed the increased TPT1-AS1 levels in neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) cells. Surprisingly, functional experiments indicated that TPT1-AS1 overexpression had no stimulatory effect on NED in LNCaP cells and that TPT1-AS1 knockdown did not inhibit IL-6-induced NED. Transcriptomic analysis revealed the essential role of TPT1-AS1 in synaptogenesis and autophagy activation in neuroendocrine differentiated PCA cells induced by IL-6 and enzalutamide treatment. TPT1-AS1 was found to regulate the expression of autophagy-related genes that maintain neuroendocrine cell survival through autophagy activation. In conclusion, our data expand the current knowledge of REST-repressed lncRNAs in NED in PCA and highlight the contribution of TPT1-AS1 to protect neuroendocrine cells from cell death rather than inducing NED. Our study suggested that TPT1-AS1 plays a cytoprotective role in NEPC cells; thus, targeting TPT1-AS1 is a potential therapeutic strategy.
