Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Purinergic Signaling Contributes to Host Microenvironment Plasticity and Metastasis in Triple Negative Breast Cancer.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
Metastasis accounts for over 90% of cancer-related deaths, yet the mechanisms guiding this process remain unclear. Secreted nucleoside diphosphate kinase A and B (NDPK) support breast cancer metastasis. Proteomic evidence confirms their presence in breast cancer-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). We investigated the role of EV-associated NDPK in modulating the host microenvironment in favor of pre-metastatic niche formation. We measured NDPK expression and activity in EVs isolated from triple-negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) and non-tumorigenic mammary epithelial (HME1) cells using flow cytometry, western blot, and ATP assay. We evaluated the effects of EV-associated NDPK on endothelial cell migration, vascular remodeling, and metastasis. We further assessed MDA-MB-231 EV-induced proteomic changes in support of pre-metastatic lung niche formation. NDPK-B expression and phosphotransferase activity were enriched in MDA-MB-231 EVs that promote vascular endothelial cell migration and disrupt monolayer integrity. MDA-MB-231 EV-treated mice demonstrate pulmonary vascular leakage and enhanced experimental lung metastasis, whereas treatment with an NDPK inhibitor or a P2Y1 purinoreceptor antagonist blunts these effects. We identified perturbations to the purinergic signaling pathway in experimental lungs, lending evidence to support a role for EV-associated NDPK-B in lung pre-metastatic niche formation and metastatic outgrowth. These studies prompt further evaluation of NDPK-mediated EV signaling using targeted genetic silencing approaches.
