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

backgroundAngiogenesis is one of the important factors related to tumorigenesis, invasion, and metastasis. Cancer-secreted exosomes are essential mediators of intercellular cross-talk and participate in angiogenesis and metastasis. Unveiling the mechanism of angiogenesis is an important way to develop anti-angiogenesis therapeutic strategies to against cancer progression.

methodsmiR-1825 expression and relationship with microvascular density were validated in colorectal cancer (CRC) by in situ hybridization (ISH) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Sequential differential centrifugation, transmission electron microscopy, and western blotting analysis were used to extract and characterize exosomes. The effort of exosomal miR-1825 on endothelial cells was examined by transwell assay, wound healing assay, tube formation assay, and aortic ring assay. The relationship of miR-1825, ING1 and the downstream pathway were analyzed by western blot, RT-PCR, Immunofluorescence, and dual-luciferase reporter system analysis.

resultsExosomal miR-1825 is associated with angiogenesis in CRC and is enriched in exosomes extracted from the serum of CRC patients. The CRC-secreted exosomal miR-1825 can be transferred into vascular endothelial cells, promoting endothelial cell migration and tube formation in vitro, and facilitating angiogenesis and tumor metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, exosomal miR-1825 regulates angiogenesis and tumor metastasis by suppressing inhibitor of growth family member 1 (ING1) and activating the TGF-β/Smad2/Smad3 signaling pathway in the recipient HUVECs.

conclusionsOur study demonstrated the CRC-secreted exosomal miR-1825 could be transferred to vascular endothelial cells, subsequently leads to the inhibition of ING1 and the activation of the TGF-β/Smad2/Smad3 signaling pathway, thereby promoting angiogenesis and liver metastasis in CRC. Exosomal miR-1825 is thus a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target for CRC patients.
