1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

MicroRNA-1 (miR-1) is a conserved microRNA that is highly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues. Moreover, miR-1 regulates genes and has critical roles in cell migration and invasion. Downregulation of miR-1 has been found in many pathologies of numerous organs, including the lungs. What exactly contributes to the downregulation of miR-1 is not fully understood, and in the present study, we investigated whether ROS regulate miR-1 and its role in cell migration and invasion. A549 cells were grown and maintained in DMEM:F12 (1:1) and supplemented with 10% FBS and 1000 U of Penicillin/Streptomycin and maintained as recommended by the manufacturer (ATCC). Cell migration and invasion, IHC, Western blot, qPCR, ROS, miR-1 transfection, and qPCR were used to determine miR-1 regulation and its role in cell migration. Exogenous miR-1 decreased the formation of ROS and inhibited cell migration and invasion, whereas inhibition of miR-1 increased ROS formation and stimulated cell migration and invasion. Inhibition of miR-1 induced the formation of actin filaments contractile structures, whereas exogenous miR-1 limited the formation of these structures. Hydrogen peroxide significantly decreased miR-1 level, whereas inhibition of Nox4 had no effect on miR-1 level. Alpha amanitin did not decrease miR-1 level, whereas inhibition of NF-кB temporally decreased miR-1 level. This study demonstrates that ROS suppress miR-1 and that miR-1 is posttranscriptionally regulated via MAPK. Endogenous Nox4-dependent ROS are not involved in miR-1 regulation, whereas exogenous ROS regulates miR-1. NF-κB plays a key role in miR-1 regulation in both redox and nonredox environments. Moreover, Mir-1 limits cell migration and invasion even in the presence of ROS. TSP-1 is a major regulator of TGFβ and its expression is upregulated by ROS. Our work indicates ROS is a major regulator of miR-1 and TSP-1 and could be a potential therapeutic target to limit ROS- and non-ROS-mediated processes in lung cells.
