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

backgroundCerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, the most common form of stroke, has high mortality and often brings persistent and serious brain dysfunction among survivors. Administration of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) has been suggested to alleviate the I/R brain injury, but the mechanism remains uncharacterized. Here, we aimed at investigating the mechanism of ASCs and their extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the repair of or protection from I/R injury.

methodsWe established the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/RP) neuron model. ASCs or ASC-derived EVs (ASC-EVs) were co-cultured with neurons. RT-qPCR and Western blot analyses determined microRNA (miRNA)-22-3p, BMP2, BMF, and KDM6B expression in neurons upon treatment with ASC-EVs. Bioinformatics analysis predicted the binding between miR-22-3p and KDM6B. Using gain- and loss-of-function methods, we tested the impact of these molecules on I/R injury in vivo and in vitro.

resultsTreatment with ASCs and ASC-derived EVs significantly alleviated the I/R brain injury in vivo, elevated neuron viability in vitro, and decreased apoptosis. Interestingly, miR-22-3p was upregulated in ASC-EVs, and treatment with EV-miR-22-3p inhibitor led to increased apoptosis and decreased neuronal. Of note, miR-22-3p bound to and inhibited KDM6B, as demonstrated by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and Western blot assay. Overexpression of KDM6B enhanced apoptosis of neurons in the OGD/RP model, and KDM6B bound to BMB2 and promoted its expression by binding to BMP2. Silencing of BMF reduced infarct volume and apoptosis in the stroke model.

conclusionResults support a conclusion that ASC-EV-derived miR-22-3p could alleviate brain ischemic injury by inhibiting KDM6B-mediated effects on the BMP2/BMF axis. These findings compelling indicate a novel treatment strategy for cerebral ischemic injury.
