Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Exacerbate UVB-Induced Photodamage in HaCaT Cells and Mouse Skin via CCDC25/MAPK Pathway.
Article in Aging cell, 2026. 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
The pathogenesis of skin photodamage remains incompletely elucidated. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been implicated in exacerbating skin photodamage. However, their precise mechanism requires further investigation. We detected NETs via immunofluorescence in skin tissues from patients with Actinic Dermatosis. In vivo, an acute photodamage mouse model was established by using UVB irradiation. Mice were treated with GSK484 (PAD4 inhibitor) and subjected to RNA-sequencing to explore the mechanism by which NETs promote inflammation and apoptosis. NETs content, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were assessed. In vitro, immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) were treated with NETs. Subsequently, cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, inflammatory cytokine release, apoptosis, SOD production, and MDA levels were measured. 25-pass transmembrane protein (CCDC25) was knocked down to validate its role as a critical receptor for NETs in HaCaT cells. As a result, abundant NETs were present in the skin of Actinic Dermatosis patients. Injection of GSK484 significantly alleviated UVB-induced skin damage, inflammation, and cell apoptosis in the mouse model. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that peptidyl-arginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) deficiency inhibited UVB-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation. NETs treatment induced HaCaT cell apoptosis, suppressed cell viability, promoted inflammatory cytokine release, and disrupted redox homeostasis. NETs stimulation increased phospho-Jun-N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) activity. However, this activity was suppressed and cellular status was restored following CCDC25 knockdown. Collectively, NETs exacerbate skin photodamage by activating the p-JNK/JNK pathway via CCDC25, leading to HaCaT cell apoptosis, inhibition of cell viability, and the release of inflammatory cytokines.
