Abstract
Glycyrrhizic acid (GA), a natural compound isolated from licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), has exhibited anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects in vitro. Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate (DPG), a dipotassium salt of GA, also has shown an anti-tumor effect on glioblastoma cell lines, U87MG and T98G. The study investigated the DPG effects in the melanoma cell line (SK-MEL-28). MTT assay demonstrated that the viability of the cells was significantly decreased in a time- and dose-dependent manner after DPG (IC50 = 36 mM; 24 h). DNA fragmentation suggested that DPG (IC50) induced cellular apoptosis, which was confirmed by a significant number of TUNEL-positive cells (p-value = 0.048) and by PARP-1 [0.55 vs. 1.02 arbitrary units (AUs), p-value = 0.001], BAX (1.91 vs. 1.05 AUs, p-value = 0.09), and BCL-2 (0.51 vs. 1.07 AUs, p-value = 0.0018) mRNA compared to control cells. The proliferation and wound-healing assays showed an anti-proliferative effect on DPG-IC50-treated cells, also indicating an inhibitory effect on cell migration (p-values < 0.001). Moreover, it was observed that DPG promoted a 100% reduction in melanospheres formation (p-value = 0.008). Our previous microRNAs (miRs) global analysis has revealed that DPG might increase miR-4443 and miR-3620 expression levels. Thus, qPCR showed that after DPG treatment, SK-MEL-28 cells presented significantly high miR-4443 (1.77 vs. 1.04 AUs, p-value = 0.02) and miR-3620 (2.30 vs. 1.00 AUs, p-value = 0.01) expression compared to control cells, which are predicted to target the NF-kB, CD209 and TNC genes, respectively. Both genes are responsible for cell attachment and migration, and qPCR revealed significantly decreased CD209 (1.01 vs. 0.54 AUs, p-value = 0.018) and TNC (1.00 vs. 0.31 AUs, p-value = 2.38 × 10−6) mRNA expression levels after DPG compared to untreated cells. Furthermore, the migration of SK-MEL-28 cells stimulated by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) was attenuated by adding DPG by wound-healing assay (48 h: p-value = 0.004; 72 h: p-value = 7.0 × 10−4). In addition, the MMP-9 expression level was inhibited by DPG in melanoma cells stimulated by TPA and compared to TPA-treated cells (3.56 vs. 0.99 AUs, p-value = 0.0016) after 24 h of treatment. Our results suggested that DPG has an apoptotic, anti-proliferative, and anti-migratory effect on SK-MEL-28 cells. DPG was also able to inhibit cancer stem-like cells that may cause cerebral tumor formation.

Exercise triggers CAPN1-mediated AIF truncation, inducing myocyte cell death in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. Sci Transl Med 2021; 13:13/581/eabf0891.

Abstract
Myocyte death occurs in many inherited and acquired cardiomyopathies, including arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), a genetic heart disease plagued by the prevalence of sudden cardiac death. Individuals with ACM and harboring pathogenic desmosomal variants, such as desmoglein-2 (DSG2), often show myocyte necrosis with progression to exercise-associated heart failure. Here, we showed that homozygous Dsg2 mutant mice (Dsg2 mut/mut), a model of ACM, die prematurely during swimming and display myocardial dysfunction and necrosis. We detected calcium (Ca2+) overload in Dsg2 mut/mut hearts, which induced calpain-1 (CAPN1) activation, association of CAPN1 with mitochondria, and CAPN1-induced cleavage of mitochondrial-bound apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF). Cleaved AIF translocated to the myocyte nucleus triggering large-scale DNA fragmentation and cell death, an effect potentiated by mitochondrial-driven AIF oxidation. Posttranslational oxidation of AIF cysteine residues was due, in part, to a depleted mitochondrial thioredoxin-2 redox system. Hearts from exercised Dsg2 mut/mut mice were depleted of calpastatin (CAST), an endogenous CAPN1 inhibitor, and overexpressing CAST in myocytes protected against Ca2+ overload-induced necrosis. When cardiomyocytes differentiated from Dsg2 mut/mut embryonic stem cells (ES-CMs) were challenged with β-adrenergic stimulation, CAPN1 inhibition attenuated CAPN1-induced AIF truncation. In addition, pretreatment of Dsg2 mut/mut ES-CMs with an AIF-mimetic peptide, mirroring the cyclophilin-A (PPIA) binding site of AIF, blocked PPIA-mediated AIF-nuclear translocation, and reduced both apoptosis and necrosis. Thus, preventing CAPN1-induced AIF-truncation or barring binding of AIF to the nuclear chaperone, PPIA, may avert myocyte death and, ultimately, disease progression to heart failure in ACM and likely other forms of cardiomyopathies.

Abstract
In addition to its central role in mediating oxidation reduction in fuel metabolism and bioenergetics, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) has emerged as a vital co-substrate for a number of proteins involved in diverse cellular processes, including sirtuins, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases and cyclic ADP-ribose synthetases. The connection with aging and age-associated diseases has led to a new wave of research in the cardiovascular field. Here, we review the basics of NAD+ homeostasis, the molecular physiology and new advances in ischemic-reperfusion injury, heart failure, and arrhythmias, all of which are associated with increased risks for sudden cardiac death. Finally, we summarize the progress of NAD+-boosting therapy in human cardiovascular diseases and the challenges for future studies.

Abstract
Poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is commonly known for its vital role in DNA damage response and repair. However, its enzymatic activity has been linked to a plethora of physiological and pathophysiological transactions ranging from cellular proliferation, survival and death. For instance, malignancies with BRCA1/2 mutations heavily rely on PARP activity for survival. Thus, the use of PARP inhibitors is a well-established intervention in these types of tumors. However, recent studies indicate that the therapeutic potential of attenuating PARP1 activity in recalcitrant tumors, especially where PARP1 is aberrantly overexpressed and hyperactivated, may extend its therapeutic utility in wider cancer types beyond BRCA-deficiency. Here, we discuss treatment strategies to expand the tumor-selective therapeutic application of PARP inhibitors and novel approaches with predictive biomarkers to perturb NAD+ levels and hyperPARylation that inactivate PARP in recalcitrant tumors. We also provide an overview of genetic alterations that transform non-BRCA mutant cancers to a state of "BRCAness" as potential biomarkers for synthetic lethality with PARP inhibitors. Finally, we discuss a paradigm shift for the use of novel PARP inhibitors outside of cancer treatment, where it has the potential to rescue normal cells from severe oxidative damage during ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by surgery and radiotherapy.

Abstract
A large body of evidence indicates that mitochondrial dysfunction has a major role in the pathogenesis of multiple cardiovascular disorders. Over the past 2 decades, extraordinary efforts have been focused on the development of agents that specifically target mitochondria for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Despite such an intensive wave of investigation, no drugs specifically conceived to modulate mitochondrial functions are currently available for the clinical management of cardiovascular disease. In this Review, we discuss the therapeutic potential of targeting mitochondria in patients with cardiovascular disease, examine the obstacles that have restrained the development of mitochondria-targeting agents thus far, and identify strategies that might empower the full clinical potential of this approach.

Abstract
Twelve regulated cell death programs have been described. We review in detail the basic biology of nine including death receptor-mediated apoptosis, death receptor-mediated necrosis (necroptosis), mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis, mitochondrial-mediated necrosis, autophagy-dependent cell death, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, parthanatos, and immunogenic cell death. This is followed by a dissection of the roles of these cell death programs in the major cardiac syndromes: myocardial infarction and heart failure. The most important conclusion relevant to heart disease is that regulated forms of cardiomyocyte death play important roles in both myocardial infarction with reperfusion (ischemia/reperfusion) and heart failure. While a role for apoptosis in ischemia/reperfusion cannot be excluded, regulated forms of necrosis, through both death receptor and mitochondrial pathways, are critical. Ferroptosis and parthanatos are also likely important in ischemia/reperfusion, although it is unclear if these entities are functioning as independent death programs or as amplification mechanisms for necrotic cell death. Pyroptosis may also contribute to ischemia/reperfusion injury, but potentially through effects in non-cardiomyocytes. Cardiomyocyte loss through apoptosis and necrosis is also an important component in the pathogenesis of heart failure and is mediated by both death receptor and mitochondrial signaling. Roles for immunogenic cell death in cardiac disease remain to be defined but merit study in this era of immune checkpoint cancer therapy. Biology-based approaches to inhibit cell death in the various cardiac syndromes are also discussed.

Abstract
Ageing is the main risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases. A central mechanism by which ageing promotes vascular pathologies is compromising endothelial health. The age-related attenuation of endothelium-dependent dilator responses (endothelial dysfunction) associated with impairment of angiogenic processes and the subsequent pathological remodelling of the microcirculation contribute to compromised tissue perfusion and exacerbate functional decline in older individuals. This Review focuses on cellular, molecular, and functional changes that occur in the endothelium during ageing. We explore the links between oxidative and nitrative stress and the conserved molecular pathways affecting endothelial dysfunction and impaired angiogenesis during ageing. We also speculate on how these pathological processes could be therapeutically targeted. An improved understanding of endothelial biology in older patients is crucial for all cardiologists because maintenance of a competently functioning endothelium is critical for adequate tissue perfusion and long-term cardiac health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Heart transplantation is the standard treatment in end-stage heart failure and at shortage of cardiac allografts is its major limiting factor. Striving to optimize the use of this limited resource, the aspect that long distance procurement may increase the available donor pool must be taken into consideration. As poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP)-activation has been identified as a key pathway of reperfusion injury, we assessed the hypothesis that its inhibition would allow an extension of cold preservation time and protect the graft against ischaemia/reperfusion injury. METHODS Hearts from donor rats were explanted, stored in a preservation solution (Custodiol) at 4 °C for 4 h or 8 h, and heterotopically transplanted. A vehicle or the PARP-inhibitor, INO-1001 (5 mg/kg), was administered during the reperfusion period. We evaluated post-transplant graft function with a Millar micromanometer at different left-ventricular volumes. Additionally, in organ bath experiments the effect of PARP-inhibition on endothelium-dependent and -independent vasorelaxation was evaluated after long-term cold ischaemic storage/warm reperfusion. RESULTS PARP-inhibition resulted in a better systolic functional recovery of grafts submitted to 4 h and 8 h ischaemia. Furthermore, INO-1001 decreased the left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure after 8 h of ischaemia. Coronary blood flow was significantly higher after PARP-inhibition in comparison to controls. Endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation was significantly better in the INO-1001-groups than in the vehicle-treated transplant groups. After 24-h hypothermic storage, treatment of aortic ring with INO-1001 during reoxygenation significantly improved endothelial dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS By inhibiting the PARP activation, INO-1001 can protect the graft and endothelium from the injury that is caused by prolonged cold myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion, thereby improving post-transplant graft function.

Abstract
The aim of this article is to describe the current and potential clinical translation of pharmacological inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) for the therapy of various diseases. The first section of the present review summarizes the available preclinical and clinical data with PARP inhibitors in various forms of cancer. In this context, the role of PARP in single-strand DNA break repair is relevant, leading to replication-associated lesions that cannot be repaired if homologous recombination repair (HRR) is defective, and the synthetic lethality of PARP inhibitors in HRR-defective cancer. HRR defects are classically associated with BRCA1 and 2 mutations associated with familial breast and ovarian cancer, but there may be many other causes of HRR defects. Thus, PARP inhibitors may be the drugs of choice for BRCA mutant breast and ovarian cancers, and extend beyond these tumors if appropriate biomarkers can be developed to identify HRR defects. Multiple lines of preclinical data demonstrate that PARP inhibition increases cytotoxicity and tumor growth delay in combination with temozolomide, topoisomerase inhibitors and ionizing radiation. Both single agent and combination clinical trials are underway. The final part of the first section of the present review summarizes the current status of the various PARP inhibitors that are in various stages of clinical development. The second section of the present review summarizes the role of PARP in selected non-oncologic indications. In a number of severe, acute diseases (such as stroke, neurotrauma, circulatory shock and acute myocardial infarction) the clinical translatability of PARP inhibition is supported by multiple lines of preclinical data, as well as observational data demonstrating PARP activation in human tissue samples. In these disease indications, PARP overactivation due to oxidative and nitrative stress drives cell necrosis and pro-inflammatory gene expression, which contributes to disease pathology. Accordingly, multiple lines of preclinical data indicate the efficacy of PARP inhibitors to preserve viable tissue and to down-regulate inflammatory responses. As the clinical trials with PARP inhibitors in various forms of cancer progress, it is hoped that a second line of clinical investigations, aimed at testing of PARP inhibitors for various non-oncologic indications, will be initiated, as well.

Abstract
The biological roles of poly(ADP-ribose) polymers (PAR) and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of proteins in the central nervous system are diverse. The homeostasis of PAR orchestrated by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) is crucial for cell physiology and pathology. Both enzymes are ubiquitously distributed in neurons and glia; however, they are segregated at the subcellular level. PARP-1 serves as a "nick sensor" for single- or double-stranded breaks in DNA and is involved in long and short patch base-excision repair, while PARG breaks down PAR. The stimulation of PARP-1 and PAR formation can activate proinflammatory transcription factors, including nuclear factor kappa B. However, hyperactivation of PARP-1 can result in depletion of NAD/ATP, and in PAR-dependent mitochondrial pore formation leading to release of apoptosis inducing factor and cell death. The role of PAR as a death signaling molecule in brain ischemia-reperfusion and inflammation as well as the effect of gender and aging is presented in this review. Modulating the PAR level through pharmacological or genetic intervention on PARP-1/PARG activity and gene expression should be a valuable way for neuroprotective strategy.

Abstract
Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) show complex symptoms associated with inflammation, pain and degeneration of the peripheral tissues including synovium. Although it is believed that excessive mechanical stress on synovium causes development of TMD, the molecular mechanism by which mechanical stress triggers TMD has still remained unclear. In order to examine the effect of mechanical stress on synoviocytes, rabbit synovial cells were cyclically stretched in vitro. The stretch efficiently increased the gene expressions of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and NF-kappaB responsive reporter gene constructs. The interruption of NF-kappaB activating pathway by inhibitors resulted in the abrogation of those expressions, indicating the pivotal role of NF-kappaB in the mechanical stretch-mediated COX-2 and iNOS expressions. In parallel, the stretch remarkably increased NO production and poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) synthesis, suggesting that excessive amounts of NO causes DNA injury and in turn activates PAR synthesis by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). The inhibition of PAR synthesis by a PARP inhibitor or a radical scavenger enhanced the mechanical stretch-induced gene expressions in a NF-kappaB-independent manner, implying an involvement of PARP in the gene expression. Taken together, these results demonstrate that mechanical stress on synovial cells not only induces gene expressions of COX-2 and iNOS but also affects PAR synthesis.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) are enzymes that modify target proteins by the addition and removal, respectively, of ADP-ribose polymers. Although a role for PARP-1 in gene regulation has been well established, the role of PARG is less clear. To investigate how PARP-1 and PARG coordinately regulate global patterns of gene expression, we used short hairpin RNAs to stably knock down PARP-1 or PARG in MCF-7 cells followed by expression microarray analyses. Correlation analyses showed that the majority of genes affected by the knockdown of one factor were similarly affected by the knockdown of the other factor. The most robustly regulated common genes were enriched for stress-response and metabolic functions. In chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, PARP-1 and PARG localized to the promoters of positively and negatively regulated target genes. The levels of chromatin-bound PARG at a given promoter generally correlated with the levels of PARP-1 across the subset of promoters tested. For about half of the genes tested, the binding of PARP-1 at the promoter was dependent on the binding of PARG. Experiments using stable re-expression of short hairpin RNA-resistant catalytic mutants showed that PARP-1 and PARG enzymatic activities are required for some, but not all, target genes. Collectively, our results indicate that PARP-1 and PARG, nuclear enzymes with opposing enzymatic activities, localize to target promoters and act in a similar, rather than antagonistic, manner to regulate gene expression.

Abstract
AIM Hyperhomocysteinemia (Hhcy) is an important and independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. Recent studies have shown that Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activation may be associated with Hhcy-induced endothelial dysfunction, which is an important mechanism for Hhcy to affect atherosclerotic progress. Thus, we investigated whether PARP inhibitors may attenuate atheroscle-rotic plaque development in an Hhcy-induced experimental animal model with atherosclerosis. METHODS Six-week-old homozygous apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) male mice fed a normal diet or high methionine diet randomly received intraperitoneal injections of 10 mg/kg 3-aminoben-zamide (3-AB, a PARP inhibitor) dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), or physiological saline every other day for 12 weeks. Atherosclerotic lesion sizes and PARP activity were measured. Related inflammatory factors in atherogenesis were investigated by real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot analysis. RESULTS Our data demonstrated that ApoE-/- mice fed a high methionine diet generated Hhcy, which subsequently increased the atherosclerotic lesion size significantly, promoted oxidative stress-associated DNA damage and PARP activation, then increased the expression of proinflammatory fac-tors within atherosclerotic plaques. Although PARP inhibition by 3-AB did not markedly inhibit plaque development in ApoE-/- mice with spontaneous hyperlipidemia by feeding a normal diet, it significantly reduced the atherosclerotic lesion size by 40% in Hhcy-induced atherosclerosis without affecting plasma homocysteine levels and lipid contents, effectively suppressed PARP activation, and inhibited nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-(kappa)B (NF-(kappa)B) and subsequent production of inflam-matory factors, such as vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and monocyte chemoattactant protein-1 (MCP-1). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that PARP inhibition attenuates atherosclerotic plaque development under hyperhomocysteinemic conditions, through the inhibition of PARP activation, nuclear NF-kappaB translocation and subsequent expression of inflammatory factors.

Abstract
One of the major conceptual advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of age-associated cardiovascular diseases has been the insight that age-related oxidative stress may promote vascular inflammation even in the absence of traditional risk factors associated with atherogenesis (e.g., hypertension or metabolic diseases). In the present review we summarize recent experimental data suggesting that mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species, innate immunity, the local TNF-alpha-converting enzyme (TACE)-TNF-alpha, and the renin-angiotensin system may underlie NF-kappaB induction and endothelial activation in aged arteries. The theme that emerges from this review is that multiple proinflammatory pathways converge on NF-kappaB in the aged arterial wall, and that the transcriptional activity of NF-kappaB is regulated by multiple nuclear factors during aging, including nuclear enzymes poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1) and SIRT-1. We also discuss the possibility that nucleophosmin (NPM or nuclear phosphoprotein B23), a known modulator of the cellular oxidative stress response, may also regulate NF-kappaB activity in endothelial cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To overview the emerging data in the literature showing the role of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in the pathogenesis of critical illness. RECENT FINDINGS PARP, an abundant nuclear enzyme involved in DNA repair and transcriptional regulation, is now recognized as a key regulator of cell survival and cell death in response to noxious stimuli in various forms of cardiovascular collapse. PARP becomes activated in response to oxidative DNA damage and depletes cellular energy pools, thus leading to cellular dysfunction in various tissues. The activation of PARP may also induce various cell death processes, and promotes an inflammatory response. In circulatory shock PARP plays a crucial role both in the development of early cardiovascular dysfunction and in the delayed systemic inflammatory response syndrome with associated multiple organ failure. Inhibition of PARP activity is protective in various models of circulatory shock. SUMMARY A solid body of literature supports the view that PARP is an important target for therapeutic intervention in critical illness.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that the reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are generated in cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, various forms of heart failure or cardiomyopathies, circulatory shock, cardiovascular aging, diabetic complications, myocardial hypertrophy, atherosclerosis, and vascular remodeling following injury. These reactive species induce oxidative DNA damage and consequent activation of the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1), the most abundant isoform of the PARP enzyme family. PARP overactivation, on the one hand, depletes its substrate, NAD+, slowing the rate of glycolysis, electron transport, and ATP formation, eventually leading to the functional impairment or death of the endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes. On the other hand, PARP activation modulates important inflammatory pathways, and PARP-1 activity can also be modulated by several endogenous factors such as various kinases, purines, vitamin D, thyroid hormones, polyamines, and estrogens, just to mention a few. Recent studies have demonstrated that pharmacological inhibition of PARP provides significant benefits in animal models of cardiovascular disorders, and novel PARP inhibitors have entered clinical development for various cardiovascular indications. Because PARP inhibitors can enhance the effect of anticancer drugs and decrease angiogenesis, their therapeutic potential is also being explored for cancer treatment. This review discusses the therapeutic effects of PARP inhibitors in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, various forms of heart failure, cardiomyopathies, circulatory shock, cardiovascular aging, diabetic cardiovascular complications, myocardial hypertrophy, atherosclerosis, vascular remodeling following injury, angiogenesis, and also summarizes our knowledge obtained from the use of PARP-1 knockout mice in the various preclinical models of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), the most abundant member of the PARP family, is a nuclear enzyme that catalyzes ADP-ribose transfer from NAD+ to specific acceptor proteins in response to DNA damage. Excessive PARP-1 activation is an important cause of infarction and contractile dysfunction in heart tissue during interruptions of blood flow. The mechanisms by which PARP-1 inhibition and disruption dramatically improve metabolic recovery and reduce oxidative stress during cardiac reperfusion have not been fully explored. We developed a mouse heart experimental protocol to test the hypothesis that mitochondrial respiratory complex I is a downstream mediator of beneficial effects of PARP-1 inhibition or disruption. Pharmacological inhibition of PARP-1 activity produced no deterioration of hemodynamic function in C57BL/6 mouse hearts. Hearts from PARP-1 knockout mice also exhibited normal baseline contractility. Prolonged ischemia-reperfusion produced a selective defect in complex I function distal to the NADH dehydrogenase component. PARP-1 inhibition and PARP-1 gene disruption conferred equivalent protection against mitochondrial complex I injury and were strongly associated with improvement in myocardial energetics, contractility, and tissue viability. Interestingly, ischemic preconditioning abolished cardioprotection stimulated by PARP-1 gene disruption. Treatment with the antioxidant N-(2-mercaptopropionyl)-glycine or xanthine oxidase inhibitor allopurinol restored the function of preconditioned PARP-1 knockout hearts. This investigation establishes a strong association between PARP-1 hyperactivity and mitochondrial complex I dysfunction in cardiac myocytes. Our findings advance understanding of metabolic regulation in myocardium and identify potential therapeutic targets for prevention and treatment of ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
Blocking poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of nuclear proteins protects the heart from ischemia-reperfusion injury. In addition, activation of Akt and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades also plays a pivotal role in the survival of cardiomyocytes during ischemia-reperfusion; however, the potential interplay between these pathways is yet to be elucidated. We therefore tested the hypothesis whether poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition can modulate Akt and MAPK signaling of ischemic-reperfused rat hearts. A novel PARP inhibitor, L-2286 [2-[(2-piperidin-1-yletil)thio]quinazolin-4(3H)-one] was administered during ischemia-reperfusion in Langendorff perfused rat hearts and in isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction. Thereafter, the cardiac energy metabolism, oxidative damage, and the phosphorylation state of Akt and MAPK cascades were monitored. L-2286 exerted significant protective effect against ischemia-reperfusion-induced myocardial injury in both experimental models. More importantly, L-2286 facilitated the ischemia-reperfusion-induced activation of Akt, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, and p38-MAPK in both isolated hearts and in vivo cardiac injury. By contrast, isoproterenol-induced rapid c-Jun N-termainal kinase activation was repressed by L-2286. Here, we provide evidence for the first time that PARP inhibition beneficially modulates the cardiac Akt and MAPK signaling in ex vivo and in vivo ischemia-reperfusion models. We therefore propose that this novel mechanism may contribute to the cardioprotective properties of PARP inhibitors.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) are involved in the regulation of many cellular functions. Three consequences of the activation of PARP1, which is the main isoform of the PARP family, are particularly important for drug development: first, its role in DNA repair; second, its capacity to deplete cellular energetic pools, which culminates in cell dysfunction and necrosis; and third, its capacity to promote the transcription of pro-inflammatory genes. Consequently, pharmacological inhibitors of PARP have the potential to enhance the cytotoxicity of certain DNA-damaging anticancer drugs, reduce parenchymal cell necrosis (for example, in stroke or myocardial infarction) and downregulate multiple simultaneous pathways of inflammation and tissue injury (for example, in circulatory shock, colitis or diabetic complications). The first ultrapotent novel PARP inhibitors have now entered human clinical trials. This article presents an overview of the principal pathophysiological pathways and mechanisms that are governed by PARP, followed by the main structures and therapeutic actions of various classes of novel PARP inhibitors.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is activated in response to DNA injury in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and has been implicated in intestinal barrier dysfunction during inflammatory bowel diseases. In this study we investigated whether PARP-1 may regulate the inflammatory response of experimental colitis at the level of signal transduction mechanisms. Mice genetically deficient of PARP-1 (PARP-1(-/-)) and wild-type littermates were subjected to rectal instillation of trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS). Signs of inflammation were monitored for 14 days. In wild-type mice, TNBS treatment resulted in colonic ulceration and marked apoptosis, which was associated with decreased colon content of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, whereas the proapoptotic Bax was unchanged. Elevated levels of plasma nitrate/nitrite, metabolites of nitric oxide (NO), were also found. These inflammatory events were associated with activation of c-Jun-NH(2) terminal kinase (JNK), phosphorylation of c-Jun and activation of the nuclear transcription factor activator protein-1 (AP-1) in the colon. In contrast, PARP-1(-/-) mice exhibited a significant reduction of colon damage and apoptosis, which was associated with increased colonic expression of Bcl-2 and lower levels of plasma nitrate/nitrite when compared to wild-type mice. Amelioration of colon damage was associated with a significant reduction of the activation of JNK and reduction of the DNA binding of AP-1. The data indicate that PARP-1 exerts a pathological role in colitis possibly by regulating the early stress-related transcriptional response through a positive modulation of the AP-1 and JNK pathways.

Abstract
The current study investigated the role of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in the development of diabetic retinopathy. Activity of PARP was increased in whole retina and in endothelial cells and pericytes of diabetic rats. Administration of PJ-34 (a potent PARP inhibitor) for 9 months to diabetic rats significantly inhibited the diabetes-induced death of retinal microvascular cells and the development of early lesions of diabetic retinopathy, including acellular capillaries and pericyte ghosts. To further investigate how PARP activation leads to cell death in diabetes, we investigated the possibility that PARP acts as a coactivator of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) in the retinal cells. In bovine retinal endothelial cells (BRECs), PARP interacted directly with both subunits of NF-kappaB (p50 and p65). More PARP was complexed to the p50 subunit in elevated glucose concentration (25 mmol/l) than at 5 mmol/l glucose. PJ-34 blocked the hyperglycemia-induced increase in NF-kappaB activation in BRECs. PJ-34 also inhibited diabetes-induced increase expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1, a product of NF-kappaB-dependent transcription in retina, and subsequent leukostasis. Inhibition of PARP or NF-kappaB inhibited the hyperglycemia (25 mmol/l glucose)-induced cell death in retinal endothelial cells. Thus, PARP activation plays an important role in the diabetes-induced death of retinal capillary cells, at least in part via its regulation of NF-kappaB.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), a nuclear enzyme activated in response to DNA strand breaks, has been implicated in cell dysfunction in myocardial reperfusion injury. PARP-1 has also been shown to participate in transcription and regulation of gene expression. In this study, we investigated the role of PARP-1 on the signal transduction pathway of activator protein-1 (AP-1) and heat shock factor-1 (HSF-1) in myocardial reperfusion injury. Mice genetically deficient of PARP-1 (PARP-1(-/-) mice) exhibited a significant reduction of myocardial damage after occlusion and reperfusion of the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery compared with their wild-type littermates. This cardioprotection was associated with a reduction of the phosphorylative activity of JNK and, subsequently, reduction of the DNA binding of the signal transduction factor AP-1. On the contrary, in PARP-1(-/-) mice, DNA binding of HSF-1 was enhanced and was associated with a significant increase of the cardioprotective heat shock protein (HSP)70 compared with wild-type mice. Microarray analysis revealed that expression of several AP-1-dependent genes of proinflammatory mediators and HSPs was altered in PARP-1(-/-) mice. The data indicate that PARP-1 may exert a pathological role in reperfusion injury by functioning as an enhancing factor of AP-1 activation and as a repressing factor of HSF-1 activation and HSP70 expression.
