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

backgroundSteatotic livers tolerate ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) poorly, increasing the risk of organ dysfunction. Ferroptosis is considered the initiating factor of organ IRI. Heme oxygenase oxygen-1 (HO-1)-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) (HO-1/BMMSCs) can reduce hepatic IRI; however, the role of ferroptosis in IRI of steatotic grafts and the effect of HO-1/BMMSCs-derived exosomes (HM-exos) on ferroptosis remain unknown.

methodsA model of rat liver transplantation (LT) with a severe steatotic donor liver and a model of hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R) of steatotic hepatocytes were established. Exosomes were obtained by differential centrifugation, and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in liver after HM-exo treatment were detected using RNA sequencing. The expression of ferroptosis markers was analyzed. microRNA (miRNA) sequencing was used to analyze the miRNA profiles in HM-exos.

resultsWe verified the effect of a candidate miRNA on ferroptosis of H/R treated hepatocytes, and observed the effect of exosomes knockout of the candidate miRNA on hepatocytes ferroptosis. In vitro, HM-exo treatment reduced the IRI in steatotic grafts, and enrichment analysis of DEGs suggested that HM-exos were involved in the regulation of the ferroptosis pathway. In vitro, inhibition of ferroptosis by HM-exos reduced hepatocyte injury. HM-exos contained more abundant miR-124-3p, which reduced ferroptosis of H/R-treated cells by inhibiting prostate six transmembrane epithelial antigen 3 (STEAP3), while overexpression of Steap3 reversed the effect of mir-124-3p. In addition, HM-exos from cell knocked out for miR-124-3p showed a weakened inhibitory effect on ferroptosis. Similarly, HM-exo treatment increased the content of miR-124-3p in grafts, while decreasing the level of STEAP3 and reducing the degree of hepatic ferroptosis.

conclusionFerroptosis is involved in the IRI during LT with a severe steatotic donor liver. miR-124-3p in HM-exos downregulates Steap3 expression to inhibit ferroptosis, thereby attenuating graft IRI, which might be a promising strategy to treat IRI in steatotic grafts.
