Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase-1 Regulates the Progression of Autoimmune Nephritis in Males by Inducing Necrotic Cell Death and Modulating Inflammation
19 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
Necrotic lesions and necrotic cell death characterize severe autoimmune nephritides, and contribute to local inflammation and to progression of the disease. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), a DNA repair enzyme, is involved in the induction of necrosis and is a key player in the acute and chronic inflammation. Therefore, we hypothesized that PARP-1 controls the severity of nephritis by mediating the...
