PARP-2 modulation requires model-specific evaluation before clinical translation; leaves open differential therapeutic targeting in focal versus global ischemia.
Does PARP-2 deletion reduce brain injury after focal and global cerebral ischemia in mice?
PARP-2 acts as an executioner of cell death in focal cerebral ischemia but may be a necessary survival factor mitigating delayed cell death after global ischemia.
Kofler et al. (2005) studied this question.
