Loss of RNF41 promotes bladder cancer metastasis through increasing NUDC stability to enhance tubulin polymerization.

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
Bladder cancer (BCa) is a representative of urological cancer with a high recurrence and metastasis is the leading cause of death from BCa. The underlying mechanism of BCa metastasis remains poorly defined. Here, we found RNF41 was significantly downregulated in BCa tissue and low level of RNF41 is associated with BCa progression and poor prognosis. RNF41 knockdown promoted cell migration and invasion in both in vitro and in tail vein lung metastasis model, while ectopic RNF41 expression exhibited the opposite effects. Mechanically, we revealed that RNF41 directly interacted with NUDC and ubiquitinates NUDC to promote its degradation. Clinically, RNF41 was significantly downregulated in metastatic BCa tissues and negatively associated with NUDC expression. Furthermore, we identified that RNF41 promoted BCa lung metastasis through NUDC regulated β-tubulin depolymerization. In summary, these findings support that RNF41 was a tumor suppressor in BCa metastasis and highlights that targeting RNF41-NUDC-β-tubulin axis could be a valuable strategy to ameliorate BCa progression and metastasis.
