PARP-1 controls immunosuppressive function of regulatory T cells by destabilizing Foxp3.

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a nuclear enzyme and transcription factor that is involved in inflammatory response, but its role in T cell response remains largely unknown. We show here that PARP-1 regulates the suppressive function of CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs). Sp...
