PARP-1 Is Critical for Recruitment of Dendritic Cells to the Lung in a Mouse Model of Asthma but Dispensable for Their Differentiation and Function by Laura C. Echeverri Tirado, Mohamed A. Ghonim, Jeffrey Wang, Amir A. Al-Khami, Dorota Wyczechowska, Hanh H. Luu, Hogyoung Kim, Maria Dulfary Sanchez-Pino, José Yélamos, Lina M. Yassin, A. Hamid Boulares

“…PARP-1 expression and activity were also required for VCAM-1 in differentiated DCs. An assessment of CD11b+/CD11c+/MHCIIhigh DCs in spleens and lymph nodes of OVA-sensitized mice revealed that PARP-1 inhibition genetically or by olaparib exerted little to no effect on DC differentiation, percentage of CD80+/CD86+/CD40+-expressing cells, or their capacity to promote proliferation of ovalbumin-primed (OTII) CD4+ T cells. …”
