title: Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in asthma and other lung diseases.
abstract: Inhibition of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in oxidative stress-related pathologies has recently emerged as a very effective anti-inflammatory intervention in animal models of arthritis, colitis, diabetes and shock. Recent data from three laboratories also support the role of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) activation in asthma. Similarly to other inflammatory conditions, the protective effects of PARP inhibition and the PARP-1 knock out phenotype in asthma models have been attributed to inhibition of inflammatory signal transduction (mainly via NF-kappaB) and of oxidative stress-induced cell dysfunction and tissue injury. Here I discuss the complex role of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in the regulation of inflammatory cell migration, chemokine and cytokine production and expression of other inflammatory mediators (inducible nitric oxide synthase, matrix metalloproteinases) in asthma. The role of PARP-1 in other oxidative stress-related lung diseases such as asbestosis, silicosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome and ischemia-reperfusion injury is also reviewed.
