Parkin Induces Ubiquitination and Large Extracellular Vesicle Release of HMGB1 to Activate Antitumor Immunity.
Article in Cancer research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Parkin (PRKN) is a mitochondria-associated E3 ubiquitin ligase that mediates mitophagy and organelle quality control. More recently, PRKN has been implicated in stimulating antitumor immunity and reprogramming the tumor immune microenvironment. In this study, we showed that PRKN ubiquitinates the alarmin molecule, high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) on Lys146 (K146) using predominantly K48 linkages. By molecular modeling, the in-between-ring domain of PRKN (Gln326-Leu358) made extensive contacts with the amino-terminus A-box of HMGB1 (Met1-Ser42), forming a mitochondria-associated PRKN-HMGB1 complex that juxtaposes K146 to ubiquitin active site residues Gly76 and Arg74. Instead of proteasomal degradation, PRKN ubiquitination of K146 enabled the loading of HMGB1 but not HMGB1 K146A mutant, onto autophagy- and mitochondria-derived large extracellular vesicles (LEV). In turn, released PRKN-HMGB1-LEV stimulated a potent IFN and cytokine response in recipient cells, expanding CD8+ T-cell subsets with effector (CD69+/KLRG1+), self-renewal (TCF1+/PD-1+), and cytotoxic (KLRG1+/GrzB+) properties. Conditional expression of PRKN induced HMGB1 release, activated intratumoral CD8+ T cells, and suppressed syngeneic tumor growth in vivo in a response that was abolished by HMGB1 silencing. These data identify that PRKN-LEV-regulated release of HMGB1 reprograms antitumor immunity via stimulation of IFN signaling and expansion of specialized CD8+ T-cell subsets. SIGNIFICANCE: Parkin ubiquitinates the alarmin molecule HMGB1 to enable its regulated release in large extracellular vesicles that activate interferon signaling, expand specialized CD8+ T-cell subsets, and promote antitumor immunity.
