PARP2 promotes inflammation in psoriasis by modulating estradiol biosynthesis in keratinocytes.

ABSTRACT: Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 2 (PARP2) alongside PARP1 are responsible for the bulk of cellular PARP activity, and they were first described as DNA repair factors. However, research in past decades implicated PARPs in biological functions as diverse as the regulation of cellular energetics, lipid homeostasis, cell death, and inflammation. PARP activation was described in Th2-mediated inflammatory processes, but studies focused on the role of PARP1, while we have little information on PARP2 in inflammatory regulation. In this study, we assessed the role of PARP2 in a Th17-mediated inflammatory skin condition, psoriasis. We found that PARP2 mRNA expression is increased in human psoriatic lesions. Therefore, we studied the functional consequence of decreased PARP2 expression in murine and cell
