Hypoxia induces downregulation of the tumor-suppressive sST2 in colorectal cancer cells via the HIF-nuclear IL-33-GATA3 pathway.

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
As a decoy receptor, soluble ST2 (sST2) interferes with the function of the inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-33. Decreased sST2 expression in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells promotes tumor growth via IL-33-mediated bioprocesses in the tumor microenvironment. In this study, we discovered that hypoxia reduced sST2 expression in CRC cells and explored the associated molecular mechanisms, including the expression of key regulators of ST2 gene transcription in hypoxic CRC cells. In addition, the effect of the recovery of sST2 expression in hypoxic tumor regions on malignant progression was investigated using mouse CRC cells engineered to express sST2 in response to hypoxia. Our results indicated that hypoxia-dependent increases in nuclear IL-33 interfered with the transactivation activity of GATA3 for ST2 gene transcription. Most importantly, hypoxia-responsive sST2 restoration in hypoxic tumor regions corrected the inflammatory microenvironment and suppressed tumor growth and lung metastasis. These results indicate that strategies targeting sST2 in hypoxic tumor regions could be effective for treating malignant CRC.
