Cyclosporine A Decreased Paclitaxel Resistance in Prostate Cancer Cells by Inhibiting MTDH Expression.

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
This study aims to investigate the effect and mechanism of cyclosporine A (CsA) on paclitaxel-resistant prostate cancer cells. Paclitaxel-resistant prostate cancer cell lines were established by gradual increment method. The proliferation of cells was tested using MTT and colony formation assay. Western blot was used to detect protein expression. Expression levels of gene mRNA were detected using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Xenografts in nude mice were used to validate the conclusion in vitro. The results showed that CsA could increase the sensitivity of prostate cancer cells to paclitaxel. Treatment of paclitaxel-resistant prostate cancer cell lines with CsA gradients decreased metadherin (MTDH) protein expression. RT-PCR showed that CsA could decrease the mRNA level of MTDH. Overexpression of MTDH in prostate cancer cells increases paclitaxel resistance in prostate cancer cells. Conversely, knockdown of MTDH reduced paclitaxel resistance in prostate cancer cells. Treating cells with CsA failed to reduce paclitaxel resistance in prostate cancer cells when MTDH was overexpressed. Xenografts in nude mice yielded consistent conclusions with the in vitro results. In conclusion, CsA can reduce the resistance of prostate cancer cells to paclitaxel. In vitro and in vivo experiments have shown that CsA can reduce paclitaxel resistance in prostate cancer cells by decreasing MTDH expression. In clinical practice, CsA can be used in combination with paclitaxel to improve the therapeutic effect on prostate cancer. MTDH may serve as a novel target for treating paclitaxel resistance in prostate cancer.
