Astaxanthin mediated repair of tBHP-Induced cellular injury in chondrocytes.
Article in Redox report : communications in free radical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThis study investigates how astaxanthin (AST) counters tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP)-induced cellular damage in C28/I2 chondrocytes, focusing on the circ-HP1BP3/miR-139-5p/SOD1 signaling pathway and its use in sustained-release microspheres for osteoarthritis treatment.
methodsWe employed a variety of techniques including real-time quantitative PCR, Western blot, ELISA, and dual-luciferase reporter gene assays to explore AST's molecular effects. Additionally, the efficacy of AST-loaded sustained-release microspheres was evaluated in vitro and in a mouse model of osteoarthritis.
resultsAST significantly enhanced SOD1 expression, reducing apoptosis and inflammation in damaged cells. The AST-loaded microspheres showed promising in vitro drug release, improved cell viability, and reduced oxidative stress. In the osteoarthritis mouse model, they effectively decreased joint inflammation and increased the expression of chondrocyte markers.
conclusionAstaxanthin effectively mitigates oxidative stress and inflammation in chondrocytes via the circ-HP1BP3/miR-139-5p/SOD1 pathway. The development of AST-loaded microspheres offers a novel and promising approach for osteoarthritis therapy, potentially extending to osteoarthritis treatment.
