PP2A B55α inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition via regulation of Slug expression in non-small cell lung cancer.
Article in Cancer letters, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
PP2A B55α, encoded by PPP2R2A, acts as a regulatory subunit of the serine/threonine phosphatase PP2A. Despite a frequent loss of heterozygosity of PPP2R2A in cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), research on PP2A B55α's functions remains limited and controversial. To investigate the biological roles of PP2A B55α, we conducted bulk RNA-sequencing to assess the impact of PPP2R2A knockdown using two shRNAs in a NSCLC cell line. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the RNA-sequencing data revealed significant enrichment of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway, with SNAI2 (the gene encoding Slug) emerging as one of the top candidates. Our findings demonstrate that PP2A B55α suppresses EMT, as PPP2R2A deficiency through knockdown or homozygous or hemizygous depletion promotes EMT and metastatic behavior in NSCLC cells, as evidenced by changes in EMT biomarkers, invasion and migration abilities, as well as metastasis in a tail vein assay. Mechanistically, PP2A B55α inhibits EMT by downregulating SNAI2 expression via the GSK3β-β-catenin pathway. Importantly, PPP2R2A deficiency also slows cell proliferation by disrupting DNA replication, particularly in PPP2R2A
