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

backgroundN-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of various tumors. However, the current regulatory mechanism of NAT10 in tumors is limited to its presence in tumor cells. Here, we aimed to reveal the role of NAT10 in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and investigate its effect on macrophage polarization in the tumor microenvironment (TME).

methodsThe correlation between NAT10 and ICC clinicopathology was analyzed using tissue microarray (TMA), while the effect of NAT10 on ICC proliferation was verified in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, the downstream target of NAT10, C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), was identified by Oxford Nanopore Technologies full-length transcriptome sequencing, RNA immunoprecipitation-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and coimmunoprecipitation experiments. It was confirmed by co-culture that ICC cells could polarize macrophages towards M2 type through the influence of NAT10 on CCL2 protein expression level. Through RNA-sequencing, molecular docking, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assays, it was confirmed that berberine (BBR) can specifically bind CCL2 to inhibit ICC development.

resultsHigh expression level of NAT10 was associated with poor clinicopathological manifestations of ICC. In vitro, the knockdown of NAT10 inhibited the proliferative activity of ICC cells and tumor growth in vivo, while its overexpression promoted ICC proliferation. Mechanically, by binding to CCL2 messenger RNA, NAT10 increased CCL2 protein expression level in ICC and their extracellular matrix, thereby promoting the proliferation of ICC cells and M2-type polarization of macrophages. BBR can target CCL2, inhibit ICC proliferation, and reduce M2-type polarization of macrophages.

conclusionsNAT10 promotes ICC proliferation and M2-type polarization of macrophages by up-regulating CCL2, whereas BBR inhibits ICC proliferation and M2-type polarization of macrophages by inhibiting CCL2.
