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.

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

aimsThis study investigates the mechanisms underlying acquired resistance to FGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (FGFR-TKI) in gastric cancer (GC), focusing on the interplay between ferroptosis and lipid metabolism of tumor cells.

methodsWe constructed FGFR-TKI-resistant cell lines from GC cells. RNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to ferroptosis and assess lipid metabolism in resistant cells. GC microenvironment lipid profile was characterized by HPLC-MS/MS lipidomics. The effects of CHAC1 and cholesterol synthesis modulation on ferroptosis and FGFR-TKI resistance were assessed using in vitro and in vivo models.

resultsWe found that FGFR-TKI can induce ferroptosis in FGFR-TKI-sensitive cells, while resistant cells exhibit decreased sensitivity to ferroptosis due to reduced CHAC1 expression, a key glutathione-specific degrading enzyme. Overexpression of CHAC1 enhances FGFR-TKI cytotoxicity. Additionally, cholesterol accumulation in resistant cells, associated with diminished stearic acid (SA) uptake, confers FGFR-TKI-induced ferroptosis resistance. In vivo studies show that CHAC1 overexpression or cholesterol synthesis inhibition can reverse FGFR-TKI resistance, which is dependent on ferroptosis.

conclusionsDysregulated lipid homeostasis downregulated CHAC1-mediated ferroptosis, leading to FGFR-TKI resistance in gastric cancer. Overexpression of CHAC1 or inhibiting cholesterol synthesis presents promising therapeutic strategies to overcome FGFR-TKI resistance in GC.
