Long Non-Coding RNA HCP5 Affects Ferroptosis in Lung Adenocarcinoma through miR-17-5p/HOXA7 Axis.
Article in Current cancer drug targets, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundFerroptosis, a regulated cell death initiated by Fe-dependent lipoperoxidation, is closely linked to the development of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). LncRNA human leukocyte antigen complex P5 (HCP5) has been confirmed as oncogenic in LUAD, but its function in ferroptosis is unknown.
objectiveBased on the previous bioinformatics mining of the ceRNA (competitive endogenous RNA) network HCP5/miR-17-5p/ Homeobox A7 (HOXA7) related to ferroptosis in LUAD, in this study, we characterized the cell-based experiments to validate the binding between the HCP5/miR-17-5p/HOXA7 axis and ferroptosis.
methodsThe HCP5/miR-17-5p/HOXA7 linkage was identified by a two-luciferase reporter. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assay were employed for the detection of viability, invasion, and migration of A549 cells, respectively. ACSL4 and SLC7A11 were associated with ferroptosis, MMP 9, vimentin, and E-cadherin, which were associated with migration and invasion and were assessed by WB and qRT-PCR. Fe2+ and malondialdehyde (MDA) were analyzed using kits.
resultsOver-expression of HCP5 enhances the growth, invasion, and migration of A549 cells by adjusting miR-17-5P to increase the expression of HOXA7. In addition, the knockdown of HCP5 elevated miR-17-5p, which inhibited HOXA7 expression and suppressed ferroptosis and EMT in A549 cells.
conclusionHCP5/miR-17-5p/HOXA7 can affect ferroptosis as well as the biological behavior of A549 cells.
