CRYAB Promotes Colorectal Cancer Progression by Inhibiting Ferroptosis Through Blocking TRIM55-Mediated β-Catenin Ubiquitination and Degradation.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundα-Crystallin B (CRYAB) is a chaperone member of the HSPs family that protects proteins with which it interacts from degradation. This study aims to investigate the effect of CRYAB on the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) and its underlying mechanism.
methodsCRYAB expression was evaluated in CRC tissues. Cell growth was tested by CCK-8 kit. Lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) assays, lipid peroxidation assays, glutathione assays were used to assess the degree of cellular lipid peroxidation of CRC cells. The potential signal pathways of CRYAB were analyzed and verified by Western blot (WB) and immunoprecipitation (Co-IP).
resultsCRYAB expression was elevated in CRC tissues and exhibited sensitivity and specificity in predicting CRC. Functionally, knockdown of CRYAB induced ferroptosis in CRC cells. Mechanistically, CRYAB binding prevented from β-catenin interacting with TRIM55, leading to an increase in β-catenin protein stability, which desensitized CRC cells to ferroptosis and ultimately accelerated cancer progression.
conclusionsTargeting CRYAB might be a promising strategy to enhance ferroptosis and improve the efficacy of CRC therapy.
