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 main pathogenic mechanism of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) is neuronal apoptosis induced by inflammatory mediators, in which microglial inflammation plays a crucial role. However, the exact pathogenic mechanism remains unclear. Previous studies have shown that the HIV-1 gp120 V3 loop can trigger inflammation in CHME-5 microglia. p62 is a post-translational modified multidomain protein that is involved in the regulation of autophagy and is closely related to neuroinflammation. In this study, we found that p62 knockout down-regulated the expression of MCP-1, IL-6 and COX-2, and improved the inflammation of HIV-1 gp120 V3 loop induced microglia, while overexpression of p62 up-regulated the expression of MCP-1, IL-6 and COX-2, and promoted the inflammation of microglia. In addition, protein kinase C (PKC) knockout down-regulated the expression of MCP-1, IL-6 and COX-2 and inhibited the activation of IKK/ NF-κ B pathway, while tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) knockout had no significant effect on the expression of MCP-1, IL-6 and COX-2. Co-immunoprecipitation showed that p62 was bound and interacted with PKC. Inhibition of IKK/ NF-κ B pathway can down-regulate the expression of MCP-1, IL-6 and COX-2, and improve the inflammatory response of microglia. Our research further found that inhibition of IKK/ NF-κ B can decrease the expression of Caspase-3 and reduce the apoptosis of neurons in the co-culture of CHME-5 microglia and primary mouse neurons. The results of this study suggest that HIV-1 gp120 V3 loop induced CHME-5 microglial inflammation may be activated by the direct binding of p62 and PKC through the IKK/ NF-κ B signaling pathway, and these findings provide an important reference for the prevention and treatment of HAND.
