Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) plays a critical role in responding to DNA damage, by activating DNA repair pathways responsible for cellular survival. Inhibition of PARP is used to treat certain solid cancers, such as breast and ovarian cancers. However, its effectiveness with other solid cancers, such as esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), has not been clarified. We evaluated the effects of PARP inhibition on the survival of human esophageal cancer cells, with a special focus on the induction and repair of DNA double-strand breaks. The effects were monitored by colony formation assays and DNA damage responses, with immunofluorescence staining of γH2AX and RAD51. We found that PARP inhibition synergized with cisplatin, and the cells were highly sensitive, in a similar manner to the combination of cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Comparable increases in RAD51 foci formation were observed after each combined treatment with cisplatin and either 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) or 5-FU in three human esophageal cancer cell lines, TE11, TE14, and TE15. In addition, decreasing the amount of RAD51 by RNA interference rendered the TE11 cells even more hypersensitive to these treatments. Our findings suggested that the homologous recombinational repair pathway may be involved in the synergism between cisplatin and either 3-AB or 5-FU, and that 3-AB and 5-FU may similarly modify the cisplatin-induced DNA damage to types requiring the recruitment of RAD51 proteins for their repair. Understanding these mechanisms could be useful for improving the clinical outcome of ESCC patients who suffer from aggressive disease that presently lacks effective treatment options.

Abstract
Double-strand breaks (DSBs) in chromosomal DNA can induce both homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). Recently we showed that single-strand nicks induce HR with a significant reduction in toxicity and mutagenic effects associated with NHEJ. To further investigate the differences and similarities of DSB- and nick-induced repair, we used an integrated reporter system in human cells to measure HR and NHEJ produced by the homing endonuclease I-AniI and a designed 'nickase' variant that nicks the same target site, focusing on the PARP and HR repair pathways. PARP inhibitors, which block single-strand break repair, increased the rate of nick-induced HR up to 1.7-fold but did not affect DSB-induced HR or mutNHEJ. Additionally, expression of the PALB2 WD40 domain in trans acted as a dominant-negative inhibitor of both DSB- and nick-induced HR, sensitized cells to PARP inhibition, and revealed an alternative mutagenic repair pathway for nicks. Thus, while both DSB- and nick-induced HR use a common pathway, their substrates are differentially processed by cellular factors. These results also suggest that the synthetic lethality of PARP and BRCA may be due to repair of nicks through an error prone, NHEJ-like mechanism that is active when both PARP and HR pathways are blocked.

Abstract
Homologous Replacement is used to modify specific gene sequences of chromosomal DNA in a process referred to as “Small Fragment Homologous Replacement”, where DNA fragments replace genomic target resulting in specific sequence changes. To optimize the efficiency of this process, we developed a reporter based assay system where the replacement frequency is quantified by cytofluorimetric analysis following restoration of a stably integrated mutated eGFP gene in the genome of SV-40 immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF-SV-40). To obtain the highest correction frequency with this system, several parameters were considered: fragment synthesis and concentration, cell cycle phase and methylation status of both fragment and recipient genome. In addition, different drugs were employed to test their ability to improve technique efficiency. SFHR-mediated genomic modification resulted to be stably transmitted for several cell generations and confirmed at transcript and genomic levels. Modification efficiency was estimated in a range of 0.01–0.5%, further increasing when PARP-1 repair pathway was inhibited. In this study, for the first time SFHR efficiency issue was systematically approached and in part addressed, therefore opening new potential therapeutic ex-vivo applications.

Abstract
Activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase -1 (PARP-1) is an early DNA damage response event that, together with phosphorylation of p53, prompts various cellular functions important in the maintenance of the genome stability. In mammalian cells, DSB are repaired by nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) and by homologous recombination (HR). To investigate the role of PARP-1 in HR, CHO-K1 wild type and xrs-6 mutant cell line were transfected with pLrec plasmids which carry two nonfunctional copies of the beta-galactosidase (lacZ) gene in a tandem array. In result of HR they can give rise to a functional copy of beta-galactosidase. To test whether PARP-1 affects the frequency of spontaneous and induced recombination repair, we treated CHO-K1 and xrs6 clones carrying chromosomally integrated pLrec with the PARP-1 inhibitor 3-aminobenzamide (3AB). Our results show that the spontaneous homologous intrachromosomal recombination frequency between the two lacZ copies was almost two orders of magnitude higher in xrs6 cells than in CHO-K1 cells, but that it was not affected by 3AB treatment. Induction of DNA damage by irradiation or electroporation of restriction enzymes did not significantly increase the recombination frequency. Furthermore, in both the cell lines, the effect of PARP-1 inhibition on DSB repair was examined using the neutral comet assay. There was no effect of 3AB treatment on DSB rejoining after 10 Gy irradiation. The results presented support the conclusion that PARP-1 is not directly involved in HR.

Abstract
PARP-1 interacts with and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ates p53 and topoisomerase I, which both participate in DNA recombination. Previously, we showed that PARP-1 downregulates homology-directed double-strand break (DSB) repair. We also discovered that, despite the well-established role of p53 as a global suppressor of error-prone recombination, p53 enhances homologous recombination (HR) at the RARα breakpoint cluster region (bcr) comprising topoisomerase I recognition sites. Using an SV40-based assay and isogenic cell lines differing in the p53 and PARP-1 status we demonstrate that PARP-1 counteracts HR enhancement by p53, although DNA replication was largely unaffected. When the same DNA element was integrated in an episomal recombination plasmid, both p53 and PARP-1 exerted anti-recombinogenic rather than stimulatory activities. Strikingly, with DNA substrates integrated into cellular chromosomes, enhancement of HR by p53 and antagonistic PARP-1 action was seen, very similar to the HR of viral minichromosomes. siRNA-mediated knockdown revealed the essential role of topoisomerase I in this regulatory mechanism. However, after I-SceI-meganuclease-mediated cleavage of the chromosomally integrated substrate, no topoisomerase I-dependent effects by p53 and PARP-1 were observed. Our data further indicate that PARP-1, probably through topoisomerase I interactions rather than poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation, prevents p53 from stimulating spontaneous HR on chromosomes via topoisomerase I activity.

Abstract
Alteration of genomic information through homologous recombination (HR) is a powerful tool for reverse genetics in bacteria, yeast, and mice. The low frequency of HR is, however, a major obstacle to achieve efficient gene targeting. In this study, we have developed an assay system for investigating the frequency of gene targeting in cultured silkworm cells using a firefly luciferase gene as a reporter. The introduction of a DNA double-strand break (DSB) either in the chromosomal target locus or in the targeting construct drastically increased the frequency of gene targeting. Interestingly, the inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), a protein known to play an important role in overall suppression of the HR pathway, stimulated the targeting efficiency, whereas the overexpression of two silkworm RecA homologs, BmRad51 and BmDmc1, had no effect. The presently devised assay system may serve as a useful tool to improve the gene targeting efficiency in the silkworm (Bombyx mori).

Abstract
Accumulated evidence suggests that Parp-1 is involved in DNA repair processes, including base excision repair, single-strand and double-strand break repairs. To understand the precise role of Parp-1 in genomic stability in vivo, we carried out mutation analysis using Parp-1 knockout (Parp-1-/-) mice harboring two marker genes, gpt and red/gam genes. Spontaneous mutant frequencies of both genes in the bone marrows and livers did not differ significantly between Parp-1-/- and Parp-1+/+ mice (P>0.05). After treatment with an alkylating agent, N-nitrosobis(2-hydroxypropyl)amine (BHP), the mutant frequency of the red/gam genes in the liver in Parp-1-/- mice was 1.6-fold higher than that in Parp-1+/+ mice (P<0.05). Categorization of the mutations revealed that deletions larger than 1 kb or those accompanying 1-5 bp insertions at the deletion junctions, as well as rearrangements, were more frequently observed in Parp-1-/- than in Parp-1+/+ mice (P<0.05, respectively). In contrast, mutant frequencies of the gpt gene in the livers of Parp-1(-/-) and Parp-1(+/+) mice after BHP treatment were both elevated and there was no significant difference between the genotypes. These results indicate that Parp-1 is implicated in suppressing deletion mutations in vivo, especially those accompanying small insertions or rearrangements.

Abstract
PARP-1 is rapidly activated by DNA strand breaks, which finally leads to the modulation of multiple protein activities in DNA replication, DNA repair and checkpoint control. PARP-1 may be involved in homologous recombination, and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of p53 represents one possible mechanism that activates p53 as a recombination surveillance factor. Here, we examined the influence of PARP-1 on homology-directed double-strand break (DSB) repair by use of a fluorescence- and I-SceI- meganuclease-based assay with either episomal or chromosomally integrated DNA substrates. Surprisingly, the transient expression of both full-length PARP-1 and of a dominant negative mutant, retaining the DNA-binding but lacking the catalytic domain, down-regulated DSB repair in a dose-dependent manner. This effect was seen regardless of p53 status, however, with enhanced inhibition in the presence of wild-type p53. Taken together, our data reveal that PARP-1 overexpression counteracts DSB repair independently of its enzymatic activity and of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of p53 in particular, but synergizes with p53 in suppressing chromosomal rearrangements.

Abstract
Cells with non-functional poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1) show increased levels of sister chromatid exchange, suggesting a hyper recombination phenotype in these cells. To further investigate the involvement of PARP-1 in homologous recombination (HR) we investigated how PARP-1 affects nuclear HR sites (Rad51 foci) and HR repair of an endonuclease-induced DNA double-strand break (DSB). Several proteins involved in HR localise to Rad51 foci and HR-deficient cells fail to form Rad51 foci in response to DNA damage. Here, we show that PARP-1 mainly does not localise to Rad51 foci and that Rad51 foci form in PARP-1-/- cells, also in response to hydroxyurea. Furthermore, we show that homology directed repair following induction of a site-specific DSB is normal in PARP-1-inhibited cells. In contrast, inhibition or loss of PARP-1 increases spontaneous Rad51 foci formation, confirming a hyper recombination phenotype in these cells. Our data suggest that PARP-1 controls DNA damage recognised by HR and that it is not involved in executing HR as such.

Abstract
Gene targeting is a technique that allows the introduction of predefined alterations into chromosomal DNA. It involves a homologous recombination reaction between the targeted genomic sequence and an exogenous targeting vector. In theory, gene targeting constitutes the ideal method of gene therapy for single gene disorders. In practice, gene targeting remains extremely inefficient for at least two reasons: very low frequency of homologous recombination in mammalian cells and high proficiency of the mammalian cells to randomly integrate the targeting vector by illegitimate recombination. One known method to improve the efficiency of gene targeting is inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP). It has been shown that PARP inhibitors, such as 3-methoxybenzamide, could lower illegitimate recombination, thus increasing the ratio of gene targeting to random integration. However, the above inhibitors were reported to decrease the absolute frequency of gene targeting. Here we show that treatment of mouse Ltk cells with 1,5-isoquinolinediol, a recent generation PARP inhibitor, leads to an increase up to 8-fold in the absolute frequency of gene targeting in the correction of the mutation at the stable integrated HSV tk gene.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gene targeting would offer a number of advantages over current transposon-based strategies for insect transformation. These include freedom from both position effects associated with quasi-random integration and concerns over transgene instability mediated by endogenous transposases, independence from phylogenetic restrictions on transposon mobility and the ability to generate gene knockouts. RESULTS We describe here our initial investigations of gene targeting in the mosquito. The target site was a hygromycin resistance gene, stably maintained as part of an extrachromosomal array. Using a promoter-trap strategy to enrich for targeted events, a neomycin resistance gene was integrated into the target site. This resulted in knockout of hygromycin resistance concurrent with the expression of high levels of neomycin resistance from the resident promoter. PCR amplification of the targeted site generated a product that was specific to the targeted cell line and consistent with precise integration of the neomycin resistance gene into the 5' end of the hygromycin resistance gene. Sequencing of the PCR product and Southern analysis of cellular DNA subsequently confirmed this molecular structure. CONCLUSIONS These experiments provide the first demonstration of gene targeting in mosquito tissue and show that mosquito cells possess the necessary machinery to bring about precise integration of exogenous sequences through homologous recombination. Further development of these procedures and their extension to chromosomally located targets hold much promise for the exploitation of gene targeting in a wide range of medically and economically important insect species.

Abstract
Gene targeting in mammalian cells has proven invaluable in biotechnology, in studies of gene structure and function, and in understanding chromosome dynamics. It also offers a potential tool for gene-therapeutic applications. Two limitations constrain the current technology: the low rate of homologous recombination in mammalian cells and the high rate of random (nontargeted) integration of the vector DNA. Here we consider possible ways to overcome these limitations within the framework of our present understanding of recombination mechanisms and machinery. Several studies suggest that transient alteration of the levels of recombination proteins, by overexpression or interference with expression, may be able to increase homologous recombination or decrease random integration, and we present a list of candidate genes. We consider potentially beneficial modifications to the vector DNA and discuss the effects of methods of DNA delivery on targeting efficiency. Finally, we present work showing that gene-specific DNA damage can stimulate local homologous recombination, and we discuss recent results with two general methodologies--chimeric nucleases and triplex-forming oligonucleotides--for stimulating recombination in cells.
