title: Role of poly (ADP-ribose)-polymerase and its signaling pathway with renin-angiotensin aldosterone system in renal diseases.
abstract: Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), a ubiquitous, chromatin-bound enzyme, plays a crucial role in many processes, including DNA repair, cell death, metabolism, and inflammatory responses, by activating DNA repair pathways responsible for cellular survival. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) genes encode renin, angiotensinogen, angiotensin-converting enzyme, angiotensin type-1 receptor and aldosterone synthase gene. RAAS is a hormone system which acts on multiple physiologic pathways primarily by regulating blood pressure, electrolyte and fluid homeostasis in mammals, but also by local autocrine and paracrine actions. The current status quo of scientific evidence shows that there might be a signaling pathway between PARP and RAAS. Herein, we review the role of PARP and its signaling pathways with RAAS in renal diseases.
