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

backgroundTo date, 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy is very important for locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). However, chemotherapy resistance results in tumor recurrence and metastasis, which is a major obstacle for treatment of CRC.

methodsIn the current research, we establish 5-fluorouracil resistant cell lines and explore the potential targets associated with 5-fluorouracil resistance in CRC. Moreover, we perform clinical specimen research, in vitro and in vivo experiments and molecular mechanism research, to reveal the biological effects and the mechanism of DCLK1 promoting 5-fluorouracil resistance, and to clarify the potential clinical value of DCLK1 as a target of 5-fluorouracil resistance in CRC.

resultsWe discover that doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1), a cancer stem cell maker, is correlated with 5-fluorouracil resistance, and functionally promotes cancer stemness and 5-fluorouracil resistance in CRC. Mechanistically, we elucidate that DCLK1 interacts with cell cycle and apoptosis regulator 1 (CCAR1) through the C-terminal domain, and phosphorylates CCAR1 at the Ser343 site, which is essential for CCAR1 stabilisation. Moreover, we find that DCLK1 positively regulates β-catenin signalling via CCAR1, which is responsible for maintaining cancer stemness. Subsequently, we prove that blocking β-catenin inhibits DCLK1-mediated 5-fluorouracil resistance in CRC cells. Importantly, we demonstrate that DCLK1 inhibitor could block CCAR1/β-catenin pathway-mediated cancer stemness and consequently suppresses 5-fluorouracil resistant CRC cells in vitro and in vivo.

conclusionsCollectively, our findings reveal that DCLK1 promotes 5-fluorouracil resistance in CRC by CCAR1/β-catenin pathway-mediated cancer stemness, and suggest that targeting DCLK1 might be a promising method to eliminate cancer stem cells for overcoming 5-fluorouracil resistance in CRC.
