Underlying mechanisms of novel cuproptosis-related dihydrolipoamide branched-chain transacylase E2 (DBT) signature in sunitinib-resistant clear-cell renal cell carcinoma.

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
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the predominant form of malignant kidney cancer. Sunitinib, a primary treatment for advanced, inoperable, recurrent, or metastatic RCC, has shown effectiveness in some patients but is increasingly limited by drug resistance. Recently identified cuproptosis, a copper-ion-dependent form of programmed cell death, holds promise in combating cancer, particularly drug-resistant types. However, its effectiveness in treating drug resistant RCC remains to be determined. Exploring cuproptosis's regulatory mechanisms could enhance RCC treatment strategies. Our analysis of data from the GEO and TCGA databases showed that the cuproptosis-related gene DBT is markedly under expressed in RCC tissues, correlating with worse prognosis and disease progression. In our study, we investigated copper CRGs in ccRCC, noting substantial expression differences, particularly in advanced-stage tumors. We established a connection between CRG expression levels and patient survival, positioning CRGs as potential therapeutic targets for ccRCC. In drug resistant RCC cases, we found distinct expression patterns for DBT and GLS CRGs, linked to treatment resistance. Our experiments demonstrated that increasing DBT expression significantly reduces RCC cell growth and spread, underscoring its potential as a therapeutic target. This research sheds new light on the role of CRGs in ccRCC and their impact on drug resistance.
