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

Androgen receptor variant 7 (AR-V7) plays a critical role in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) progression even under androgen-deprivation conditions. Clinical and experimental studies have established that AR-V7 expression is a critical driver of CRPC progression and resistance to first-line anti-androgen therapy including enzalutamide. Understanding the mechanisms regulating AR-V7 generation and its contribution to drug resistance is critical for developing newer approaches to target CRPC. In this study, we have investigated the role of the RNA-binding protein YTHDC1, a m6A reader, in regulating AR-V7 splicing. Our findings reveal that YTHDC1 is overexpressed in CRPC and modulating its expression directly affects AR-V7 levels, rendering the cells sensitive to enzalutamide treatment. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that YTHDC1 binds to the AR-V7 pre-mRNA and facilitates the recruitment of phosphorylated SRSF1, a splice factor that promotes AR-V7 splicing. Additionally, we also demonstrate that it modulates the levels of CLK1, a known SRSF1 kinase supporting its role in regulating AR-V7 splicing. Furthermore, our experiments also reveal that YTHDC1 regulates the expression of other oncogenic transcripts, including Bcl-2, Cyclin D1, Nova1, and VEGF-A, highlighting its broader role in cancer progression. Overall, our study supports that targeting YTHDC1 could be a novel therapeutic approach to overcome AR-V7-mediated treatment resistance in CRPC patients.
