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

backgroundPatients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) harboring the DNA-methyltransferase 3 A (DNMT3A) R882 mutation (DR882MUT) usually have a high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. circKCNQ5 levels were aberrantly elevated in patients with AML according to the microarray platform. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect and mechanism of circKCNQ5 on DR882MUT AML cell proliferation.

methodsA DR882MUT cell line model was established. circKCNQ5 expression in AML cells expressing wild-type DNMT3A (DNMT3A-WT) or DR882MUT was analyzed using RT-qPCR. The proliferation of DNMT3A-WT and DR882MUT AML cells after transfection was measured using a CCK-8 assay. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein expression was assessed by western blotting. The regulatory mechanism of circKCNQ5 on HMGB1 expression was studied using RNA pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation assays.

resultscircKCNQ5 expression increased gradually in HS-5, DNMT3A-WT, and DR882MUT AML cells. circKCNQ5 overexpression facilitated the proliferation of DNMT3A-WT KG-1a and HL-60 cells, whereas circKCNQ5 silencing blocked DR882MUT KG-1a and HL-60 cell proliferation. CircKCNQ5 interacts with HMGB1 and enhanced HMGB1 protein levels by inhibiting HMGB1 ubiquitination. HMGB1 protein levels increased gradually in HS-5, DNMT3A-WT, and DR882MUT AML cells. Furthermore, circKCNQ5 overexpression elevated HMGB1 protein levels in DNMT3A-WT KG-1a and HL-60 cells, whereas circKCNQ5 silencing reduced HMGB1 protein levels in DR882MUT KG-1a and HL-60 cells. HMGB1 overexpression remarkably increased the proliferative ability of DR882MUT KG-1a and HL-60 cells and circKCNQ5 silencing.

conclusionsThese findings verified that circKCNQ5 promotes the proliferation of DR882MUT AML cells by increasing HMGB1 expression.
