Proteomic Analysis Reveals Cadherin, Actin, and Focal Adhesion Molecule-Mediated Formation of Cervical Cancer Spheroids.

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
Cancer spheroids are spherical, three-dimensional (3D), in vitro assemblies of cancer cells, which are gaining importance as a useful model in cancer behavior studies. Designed to simulate key features of the in vivo tumor microenvironment, spheroids offer reliable insights for drug screening and testing applications. We observed contrasting phenotypes in 3D cervical cancer (CC) cultures. Thus, in this study, we compared the proteomes of 3D and traditional two-dimensional (2D) cultures of CC cell lines, HeLa, SiHa, and C33A. When cultured in in-house poly-(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-coated plates under conditions suitable for 3D spheroid formation, these CC cell lines yielded spheroids exhibiting different features. Proteomic analysis of cells cultured in 2D and 3D cultures revealed similar protein profiles but remarkable differences in the expression levels of some proteins. In SiHa and C33A cells, the upregulation of key proteins required for spheroid formation was insufficient for the formation of compact spheroids. In contrast, HeLa cells could form compact spheroids because they upregulated the proteins, including cadherin-binding, cytoskeleton, and adhesion proteins, necessary for spheroid formation during the remodeling process. Overall, this study unravels the mechanisms underlying the formation of spheroids in the commonly used CC cell lines.
