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

backgroundDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common lymphocytic malignancy, faces treatment challenges due to drug resistance. Glycolysis has been implicated in tumor resistance, whereas P300, an epigenetic regulator, is known to facilitate glycolysis and enhance cancer resistance. However, the underlying mechanisms linking these factors remain unreported.

methodsBioinformation analysis of P300 in DLBCL was conducted. P300 was overexpressed or silenced in the Doxorubicin (Dox)-sensitive or Dox-resistant DLBCL cell line, respectively. The cellular function assays were performed, and the expression of apoptosis-related and glycolysis-related proteins was detected to examine the role of P300 in the Dox resistance of DLBCL, which was further validated in vivo using xenograft models. Subsequently, rescue experiments were conducted. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and luciferase experiments were used to explore the underlying mechanism. ChIP was performed to measure histone lactylation levels at the Hexokinase 2 (HK2) promoter. A luciferase reporter assay was used to determine whether P300 activates hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and to investigate the relationship between HIF-1 and the HK2 promoter.

resultsP300 expression was associated with poor prognosis of DLBCL and P300-related DEGs are mainly enriched in glycolysis, apoptosis, and other related pathways. P300 expression was higher in SU-DHL-2/ADM cells than in SU-DHL-2 cells. P300 overexpression promoted the Dox resistance of the Dox-sensitive DLBCL cell line (SU-DHL-2), while P300 silencing attenuated the Dox resistance both in vitro and in vivo. Besides, we confirmed that P300 expression facilitated glycolysis, which was associated with the Dox resistance of DLBCL. Mechanistically, P300-facilitated glycolysis induced the accumulation of lactate, which contributed to the histone lactylation on the HK2 promoter (fragment of -200 to + 1) and stimulated its transcription by interacting with HIF-1, which further bound to the HK2 promoter.

conclusionDox resistance in DLBCL was mediated by P300-facilitated glycolysis.
