PRDX6 Drives Breast Cancer Progression Through Mitochondrial Biosynthesis and Oxidative Phosphorylation.

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
backgroundPeroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) and plays a key role in antioxidant defense. Although PRDX6 is involved in various cancers, its role in breast cancer (BRCA) remains unclear.
methodsCell proliferation was assessed using CCK-8, EdU staining, and colony formation assays. Migration and invasion were evaluated via wound-healing and transwell assays. ROS levels and mitochondrial membrane potential were measured by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) activity was determined by ATP production and NAD
resultsAlthough PRDX6 was downregulated in BRCA overall, it showed elevated expression in aggressive subtypes and advanced-stage tumors, correlating with poor prognosis. Overexpression of PRDX6 enhanced BRCA cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. PRDX6 reduced ROS levels, upregulated mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) expression, and promoted mitochondrial complex subunit expression and OXPHOS. Inhibition of TFAM led to a decrease in the expression of some of the mitochondrial complex subunits, which reversed the pro-carcinogenic phenotype of the tumor. PRDX6 also promoted tumor growth in vivo.
conclusionPRDX6 maintains intracellular homeostasis by reducing ROS and promotes mitochondrial biogenesis and OXPHOS through TFAM-dependent and -independent pathways, driving BRCA progression.
