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

Microvascular ECs (MVECs) are an ideal model in angiogenesis research. The aim of this study was to determine vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/protein kinase D1 (PKD-1) signaling in expression of arteriogenic genes in human MVECs. To achieve this aim, we transduced specific SV40 large T antigen and telomerase into primary human dermal MVECs (HMVEC-D) to establish reversible HMVECs with extended lifespan (HMVECi-D). HMVECi-D was then exposed to VEGF/VEGF-inducer GS4012 or transduced with constitutively active protein kinase PKD-1 (PKD-CA). Quantitative RT-PCR was performed to detect arteriogenic gene expression. Furthermore, the angiogenic capacity in response to VEGF pathway was evaluated by Matrigel tube-formation and proliferation assays. We observed that VEGF/PKD-1 signaling axis significantly stimulated the expression of arteriogenic genes and promoted EC proliferation, along with downregulation of CD36 expression. Intriguingly, overexpression of PKD-CA also resulted in formation of tip cell morphology, accompanied by increased mRNA of delta-like ligand 4 (DLL4). In conclusion, we have successfully established and characterized HMVECi-D, and showed that VEGF/PKD-1 signaling axis increases angiogenic and arteriogenic gene expression. These studies suggest that the axis may regulate arteriolar differentiation through changing MVEC gene expression.
