Activation of nuclear receptor estrogen receptor α (ERα) exerts cardiovascular protective effects by modulating the expression of ERα target genes. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. PARP1 is a ubiquitous multifunctional nuclear enzyme. In this study, we examined the interplay between PARP1 and ERα, and identified PARP1 as an important regulator of ERα-dependent transcription. We showed that PARP1 could directly bind to ERα, and ERα could be poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated by PARP1. Poly(A ...[more]
