ZNF169 promotes thyroid cancer progression via upregulating FBXW10.
Article in Cell division, 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
backgroundZinc finger protein 169 (ZNF169) plays a key role in cancer development. However, the specific role of ZNF169 in the tumorigenesis of thyroid carcinoma (THCA) remains poorly understood.
methodsThe expression of ZNF169 was measured using immunohistochemistry, RT-qPCR, and western blot. Cell proliferation was detected using CCK-8 assay and cell colony formation assays, while cell migration was determined by Transwell assay. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis and cell cycle distribution. The interaction of ZNF169 and its downstream gene was studied using luciferase assay and CHIP-PCR. Recovery assay in cells and animals were also performed to demonstrate the mechanism.
resultsZNF169 was highly expressed in THCA tissues and cells lines compared with matched adjacent non-cancerous thyroid tissues or normal thyroid epithelial cell. Moreover, thyroid cancer cell proliferation and migration were suppressed following ZNF169 knockdown, while were potentiated by ZNF169 overexpression. ZNF169 also regulate THCA cell apoptosis and cell cycle progression. Mechanically, ZNF169 enhanced the transcription activity and expression of F-box/WD repeat-containing protein 10 (FBXW10) via the binding to its promoter. There was a positive correlation between ZNF169 and FBXW10 in THCA patients. In addition, knockdown of FBXW10 suppressed the proliferation of THCA cells. Recovery assays in vitro and in vivo demonstrated that FBXW10 knockdown reversed the effects of ZNF169 overexpression on THCA cell proliferation and tumor growth.
conclusionsIn summary, ZNF169 promotes THCA progression via upregulation of FBXW10, which may provide a novel theoretical basis for the development of clinical therapies for THCA.
