BTG3-dependent VCP/p97 nuclear translocation is required for efficient repair of UV-induced DNA lesions.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Skin exposure to UV rays from sunlight results in the formation of mutagenic DNA photolesions that are repaired by the nucleotide excision repair (NER) machinery. The inefficient repair of photolesions can lead to stalled DNA replication and mispairing, thereby causing strand breaks and mutations. B-cell translocation gene 3 (BTG3) is expressed in the epidermis of the skin and is an antiproliferative gene upregulated in human keratinocytes after radiation injury. In this study, we found that BTG3 is required to promote the timely extraction of the lesion-binding protein XPC by the segregase VCP/p97, an essential step preceding the excision of photolesions. Mechanistically, we showed that BTG3-dependent CHK1 activation and phosphorylation of VCP/p97 at S775 are necessary for the nuclear translocation of VCP/p97 after UV irradiation. Thus, loss of BTG3 or inhibition of CHK1 results in cytoplasmic retention of VCP/p97 and accumulation of ubiquitinated XPC, leading to delayed removal of photolesions and inefficient NER, which was recapitulated in vivo in the skin of the Btg3 knockout mice showing increased photolesions and γH2AX and elevated mutations after UV. Our findings revealed that by influencing the cellular localization of VCP/p97, BTG3 is critical for the proper execution of NER to protect cells from UV-induced damage and skin carcinogenesis.
