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

backgroundResistance to the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ) poses a formidable therapeutic challenge in multiple myeloma (MM). Our study aims to analyze the mechanism by which exosomes heat shock 70 kDa protein 9 (HSPA9) secreted by BTZ-resistant MM cells disseminate resistance to BTZ-sensitive MM cells.

methodsThe serum exosomes were identified by nanoparticle tracking analysis and transmission electron microscopy. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and public databases were performed to screen exosomes HSPA9. Cell counting kit-8, western blotting and colony formation assay were used to detected the role of HSPA9 protein in vitro. Co-immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence and protein truncation test experiments were used to determine the regulatory network of the HSPA9-USP1-TRIP13 complex. Optical imaging in vivo and xenograft mouse models were performed to investigate that exosomes HSPA9 promoted MM proliferation and BTZ resistance.

resultsWe demonstrated that HSPA9 was highly expressed in serum exosomes and BTZ-resistant MM patients. Knockdown of HSPA9 significantly suppressed tumorigenesis and reversed BTZ resistance in vitro. As a downstream molecular of HSPA9, thyroid hormone receptor-interacting protein 13 (TRIP13) was also highly expressed in BTZ-resistant MM patients. Mechanistically, the carboxyl-terminal peptide-binding domain of HSPA9, provides a platform for recruiting the deubiquitinating enzyme ubiquitin-specific peptidase 1 (USP1), which prevents TRIP13 protein degradation. The HSPA9-USP1-TRIP13 complex exhibits stability in the cytoplasm, and its inhibition remarkably enhances BTZ resistance in vito.

conclusionOur findings propose a pioneering molecular regulatory network in which MM-cell-derived exosomes HSPA9 transmitted BTZ resistance through the USP1/TRIP13 signaling pathway. This research highlights exosomes HSPA9 as a promising target to overcome MM BTZ resistance.
