GILT stabilizes cofilin to promote the metastasis of prostate cancer.
Article in Cell death discovery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Gamma-interferon-induced lysosomal thiol reductase (GILT), known for catalyzing disulfide bond reduction, is involved in various physiological processes. While the involvement of GILT in the development of various tumors has been demonstrated, the mechanisms underlying its regulation in prostate cancer (PCa) are not fully understood. In the present study, we confirmed that GILT was significantly upregulated in PCa and facilitated tumor metastasis. Mechanistically, GILT stabilized the cofilin protein by competitively binding to cofilin with Src family tyrosine kinase (SRC), inhibiting SRC-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of cofilin, thereby suppressing the ubiquitination pathway degradation of cofilin. GILT overexpression stabilized and increased the protein level of cofilin in PCa cells and promoted the metastasis of PCa cells by accelerating actin dynamics through cofilin-mediated actin severing. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism of GILT in PCa and provide a new potential target for the diagnosis and treatment of PCa patients.
