Neointima abating and endothelium preserving - An adventitia-localized nanoformulation to inhibit the epigenetic writer DOT1L.
Article in Biomaterials, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Open vascular reconstructions such as bypass are common treatments for cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately, neointimal hyperplasia (IH) follows, leading to treatment failure for which there is no approved therapy. Here we combined the strengths of tailoring nanoplatforms for open vascular reconstructions and targeting new epigenetic mechanisms. We produced adhesive nanoparticles (ahNP) that could be pen-brushed and immobilized on the adventitia to sustainably release pinometostat, an inhibitor drug selective to the epigenetic writer DOT1L that catalyzes histone-3 lysine-79 dimethylation (H3K79me2). This treatment not only reduced IH by 76.8% in injured arteries mimicking open reconstructions in obese Zucker rats with human-like diseases but also avoided the shortcoming of endothelial impairment in IH management. In mechanistic studies, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) sequencing revealed co-enrichment of the histone mark H3K27ac(acetyl) and its reader BRD4 at the gene of aurora kinase B (AURKB), where H3K79me2 was also enriched as indicated by ChIP-qPCR. Accordingly, DOT1L co-immunoprecipitated with H3K27ac. Furthermore, the known IH driver BRD4 governed the expression of DOT1L which controlled AURKB's protein level, revealing a BRD4- > DOT1L- > AURKB axis. Consistently, AURKB-selective inhibition reduced IH. Thus, this study presents a prototype nanoformulation suited for open vascular reconstructions, and the new insights into chromatin modulators may aid future translational advances.
