    Abstract

    Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) receptors (TβRs) are essential components for TGF-β signal transduction in T cells, yet the mechanisms by which the receptors are regulated remain poorly understood. We show here that Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) regulates TGF-β receptor I (TβRI) and II (TβRII) expression in CD4(+) T cells and subsequently affects Smad2/3-mediated TGF-β signal transduction. Inhibition of PARP-1 led to the upregulation of both TβRI and TβRII, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms were distinct. PARP-1 selectively bound to the promoter of TβRII, whereas the enzymatic activity of PARP-1 was responsible for the inhibition of TβRI expression. Importantly, inhibition of PARP-1 also enhanced expression of TβRs in human CD4(+) T cells. Thus, PARP-1 regulates TβR expression and TGF-β signaling in T cells.
