Abstract
The innate immune stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway is known to activate type I interferons (IFN-I) and participate in generating antitumor immunity. We previously produced hDT806, a recombinant diphtheria immunotoxin, and demonstrated its efficacy against head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, it's unknown whether the tumor-intrinsic STING plays a role in the anti-HNSCC effects of hDT806. In this study, we investigated the innate immune modulation of hDT806 on HNSCC. hDT806 significantly upregulated the level of STING and the ratio of p-TBK1/TBK1 in the HNSCC cells. Moreover, intratumoral hDT806 treatment increased the expression of STING-IFN-I signaling proteins including IFNA1, IFNB, CXCL10 and MX1, a marker of IFN-I receptor activity, in the HNSCC xenografts. Overexpression of STING mimicked the hDT806-induced upregulation of the STING-IFN-I signaling and induced apoptosis in the HNSCC cells. In the mouse xenograft models of HNSCC with STING overexpression, we observed a significant suppression of tumor growth and reduced tumor weight with increased apoptosis compared to their control xenograft counterparts without STING overexpression. Collectively, our data revealed that hDT806 may act as a stimulator of tumor-intrinsic STING-IFN-I signaling to inhibit tumor growth in HNSCC.

Abstract
In the current study, we synthesized a new SiPc derivative conjugated with arginine at the axial positions, for a novel phthalocyanine-based photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications in cancer cells. Axially-di-arginine substituted new silicon(IV) phthalocyanine photosensitizer (PS-5a) has been thoroughly researched for its anti-cancer properties. Various spectroscopic techniques were used to characterize this conjugate, including 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, UV-vis, and MS spectral data. The in vitro PDT activities of the conjugate on cancer cells were tested through its cytotoxic, clonogenic, apoptotic effects on, and its capacity to induce DNA damage, and the disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential in cancer cell lines (liver; HuH-7, cervix; HeLa and breast; MCF7). Cancer cells exposed to the light illumination following uptake of the PS-5a as a photosensitizer revealed DNA breakage and collapsed mitochondrial membrane potential. The results of the present investigation demonstrate that PS-5a has a significant photo-cytotoxic effect on cancer cells. So, axially-di-arginine substituted silicon(IV) phthalocyanine could be an effective PDT agent for PDT treatment.

Abstract
Astilbe chinensis (A. chinensis) is a perennial herb that is used to treat chronic bronchitis and pain. The anticancer activity of 3β,6β‑dihydroxyurs‑12‑en‑27‑oic acid (ACT‑3), a major component isolated from A. chinensis, has not yet been investigated in detail. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitory and anticancer activities of ACT‑3 compared with suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) in MCF‑7 human breast cancer cells. The purity of ACT‑3 was determined using high‑performance liquid chromatography. In the present study, the effects of ACT‑3 on anticancer effects of MCF‑7 cells were determined by measuring the level of apoptotic cell death and cell cycle regulator using flow cytometry analysis and western blot analysis, respectively. The effects of ACT‑3 on HDAC enzyme activity were measured using assay kits. ACT‑3 and SAHA increased the levels of acetylated histone H3 and reduced the levels of HDAC1 and HDAC3 in MCF‑7 cells. ACT‑3 significantly decreased the cell viability in a concentration‑dependent manner and induced different morphological changes at high concentrations. ACT‑3 and SAHA significantly inhibited the colony formation in MCF‑7 cells. ACT‑3 inhibited total HDAC activity in a dose‑dependent manner. ACT‑3 significantly reduced the expression levels of cyclin D1 and cyclin‑dependent kinase 4, and upregulated the expression levels of p21WAF1 and p53. A significant increase in the G1 phase cell population was observed in MCF‑7 cells and ACT‑3 induced apoptosis by reducing the ratio of B‑cell lymphoma‑2 (Bcl‑2)/Bcl‑2‑associated X (Bax) and releasing cleaved caspase 9. Additionally, ACT‑3 significantly increased autophagic cell death by inhibiting the serine‑threonine kinase/mammalian target of the rapamycin pathway. Autophagy induction was confirmed via acridine orange staining. ACT‑3 significantly increased the pERK1/2 and p21 in MCF‑7 cells. Thus, the activated ERK pathway played an important role in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis via ERK‑dependent induction of p21 in MCF‑7 cells. These data indicated that ACT‑3 can be used as a promising anticancer agent to overcome the limitations and reduce the side effects of conventional anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Induced granulocytic differentiation of human leukemic cells under all-trans-retinoid acid (ATRA) treatment underlies differentiation therapy of acute myeloid leukemia. Knowing the regulation of this process it is possible to identify potential targets for antileukemic drugs and develop novel approaches to differentiation therapy. In this study, we have performed transcriptomic and proteomic profiling to reveal up- and down-regulated transcripts and proteins during time-course experiments. Using data on differentially expressed transcripts and proteins we have applied upstream regulator search and obtained transcriptome- and proteome-based regulatory networks of induced granulocytic differentiation that cover both up-regulated (HIC1, NFKBIA, and CASP9) and down-regulated (PARP1, VDR, and RXRA) elements. To verify the designed network we measured HIC1 and PARP1 protein abundance during granulocytic differentiation by selected reaction monitoring (SRM) using stable isotopically labeled peptide standards. We also revealed that transcription factor CEBPB and LYN kinase were involved in differentiation onset, and evaluated their protein levels by SRM technique. Obtained results indicate that the omics data reflect involvement of the DNA repair system and the MAPK kinase cascade as well as show the balance between the processes of the cell survival and apoptosis in a p53-independent manner. The differentially expressed transcripts and proteins, predicted transcriptional factors, and key molecules such as HIC1, CEBPB, LYN, and PARP1 may be considered as potential targets for differentiation therapy of acute myeloid leukemia.

Abstract
The application of cytostatic drugs or natural substances to inhibit cancer growth and progression is an important and evolving subject of cancer research. There has been a surge of interest in marine bioresources, particularly algae, as well as cyanobacteria and their bioactive ingredients. Dried biomass products of Arthrospira and Chlorella have been categorized as “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Of particular importance is an ingredient of Arthrospira: phycocyanin, a blue-red fluorescent, water-soluble and non-toxic biliprotein pigment. It is reported to be the main active ingredient of Arthrospira and was shown to have therapeutic properties, including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune-modulatory and anti-cancer activities. In the present review, in vitro and in vivo data on the effects of phycocyanin on various tumor cells and on cells from healthy tissues are summarized. The existing knowledge of underlying molecular mechanisms, and strategies to improve the efficiency of potential phycocyanin-based anti-cancer therapies are discussed.

Abstract
Gadolinium (Gd)-containing chelates have been established as diagnostics tools. However, extensive use in magnetic resonance imaging has led to increased Gd levels in industrialized parts of the world, adding to natural occurrence and causing environmental and health concerns. A vast amount of data shows that metal may accumulate in the human body and its deposition has been detected in organs such as brain and liver. Moreover, the disease nephrogenic systemic fibrosis has been linked to increased Gd3+ levels. Investigation of Gd3+ effects at the cellular and molecular levels mostly revolves around calcium-dependent proteins, since Gd3+ competes with calcium due to their similar size; other reports focus on interaction of Gd3+ with nucleic acids and carbohydrates. However, little is known about Gd3+ effects on membranes; yet some results suggest that Gd3+ interacts strongly with biologically-relevant lipids (e.g., brain membrane constituents) and causes serious structural changes including enhanced membrane rigidity and propensity for lipid fusion and aggregation at much lower concentrations than other ions, both toxic and essential. This review surveys the impact of the anthropogenic use of Gd emphasizing health risks and discussing debilitating effects of Gd3+ on cell membrane organization that may lead to deleterious health consequences.

Abstract
Exogenous and endogenous damage to the DNA is inevitable. Several DNA repair pathways including base excision, nucleotide excision, mismatch, homologous and non-homologous recombinations are conserved across all organisms to faithfully maintain the integrity of the genome. The base excision repair (BER) pathway functions to repair single-base DNA lesions and during the process creates the premutagenic apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites. In this review, we discuss the components of the BER pathway in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and delineate the different phenotypes caused by the deletion or the knockdown of the respective DNA repair gene, as well as the implications. To date, two DNA glycosylases have been identified in C. elegans, the monofunctional uracil DNA glycosylase-1 (UNG-1) and the bifunctional endonuclease III-1 (NTH-1) with associated AP lyase activity. In addition, the animal possesses two AP endonucleases belonging to the exonuclease-3 and endonuclease IV families and in C. elegans these enzymes are called EXO-3 and APN-1, respectively. In mammalian cells, the DNA polymerase, Pol beta, that is required to reinsert the correct bases for DNA repair synthesis is not found in the genome of C. elegans and the evidence indicates that this role could be substituted by DNA polymerase theta (POLQ), which is known to perform a function in the microhomology-mediated end-joining pathway in human cells. The phenotypes observed by the C. elegans mutant strains of the BER pathway raised many challenging questions including the possibility that the DNA glycosylases may have broader functional roles, as discuss in this review.

Poly(ADP-Ribose) Glycohydrolase (PARG) vs. Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase (PARP) - Function in Genome Maintenance and Relevance of Inhibitors for Anti-cancer Therapy. Front Mol Biosci 2020; 7:191.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the addition of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) subunits onto themselves and other acceptor proteins. PARPs are known to function in a large range of cellular processes including DNA repair, DNA replication, transcription and modulation of chromatin structure. Inhibition of PARP holds great potential for therapy, especially in cancer. Several PARP1/2/3 inhibitors (PARPi) have had success in treating ovarian, breast and prostate tumors harboring defects in the homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair pathway, especially BRCA1/2 mutated tumors. However, treatment is limited to specific sub-groups of patients and resistance can occur, limiting the use of PARPi. Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) reverses the action of PARP enzymes, hydrolysing the ribose-ribose bonds present in poly(ADP-ribose). Like PARPs, PARG is involved in DNA replication and repair and PARG depleted/inhibited cells show increased sensitivity to DNA damaging agents. They also display an accumulation of perturbed replication intermediates which can lead to synthetic lethality in certain contexts. In addition, PARG is thought to play an important role in preventing the accumulation of cytoplasmic PAR and therefore parthanatos, a caspase-independent PAR-mediated type of cell death. In contrast to PARP, the therapeutic potential of PARG has been largely ignored. However, several recent papers have demonstrated the exciting possibilities that inhibitors of this enzyme may have for cancer treatment, both as single agents and in combination with cytotoxic drugs and radiotherapy. This article discusses what is known about the functions of PARP and PARG and the potential future implications of pharmacological inhibition in anti-cancer therapy.

Abstract
PARP1 and p53 are key players in maintaining genomic stability, but their interplay is still not fully understood. We investigated the impact of PARP1 knockout on the DNA damage response after ionizing radiation (IR) by comparing a U2OS-based PARP1-knockout cell line, established by using the genome-editing system CRISPR/Cas9, with its wild-type counterpart. We intended to gain more insight into the impact of PARP1 on the transcriptional level under basal conditions, after low dose (1 Gy) and high dose (10 Gy) DNA damage induced by IR, aiming to reveal the potential connections between the involved pathways. In the absence of additionally induced DNA damage, lacking PARP1 led to an increased up-regulation of CDKN1A (p21), which caused a G1 arrest and slightly diminished cell proliferation. While a small but comparable transcriptional DNA damage response was observed upon 1 Gy IR in both cell lines, a pronounced transcriptional induction of p53 target genes was evident after treatment with 10 Gy IR exclusively in PARP1-proficient cells, suggesting that PARP1 facilitates the p53 signaling response after IR. Additionally, PARP1 appeared to be required for the ATM-dependent activation of PLK3, which in turn activates p53, leading to its transcriptional damage response. Our results support the involvement of PARP1 activation among the first steps in IR-induced DNA damage response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antitumor agents based on platinum have gained a well-established place in the treatment of several forms of cancer. Their efficiency is hampered by serious toxic effects against healthy tissues as well. Ototoxicity is a serious side effect leading to hearing impairment and represents an important issue affecting the patients' quality of life. The currently used platinum chemotherapeutics exert different toxicity towards cochlear cells. The aim of our study was to answer some questions regarding the differential uptake and cellular pharmacodynamics of Cisplatin (CDDP), Carboplatin (CBDCA) and Oxaliplatin (L-OHP) in the HEI-OC1 cochlear cell line. METHODS We studied the expression of copper transporters CTR1, ATP7A and ATP7B which are presumably involved in the uptake, cellular transport and efflux of platinum compounds by immunofluorescence microscopy and flow-cytometry. The cellular uptake of the compounds was evaluated through the determination of intracellular platinum concentration by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The effects of the treatment of HEI-OC1 cells with platinum compounds were also evaluated: cytotoxicity with the Cell Titer Blue viability test, formation of reactive oxygen species with 2',7' -dichlorofluorescein diacetate, genotoxicity with the comet assay and apoptosis with the cleaved PARP ELISA test. RESULTS CTR1, ATP7A and ATP7B were all expressed by HEI-OC1 cells. The treatment with the platinum compounds led to a modulation of their expression, manifested in a differential platinum uptake. Treatment with Cisplatin led to the highest intracellular concentration of platinum compared to Oxaliplatin and Carboplatin at the same dose. Treatment with CuSO4 reduced platinum uptake of all the compounds, significantly in the case of Cisplatin and Carboplatin. CDDP was the most cytotoxic against HEI-OC1 cells, with an IC50 = 65.79 μM, compared to 611.7 μM for L-OHP and 882.9 μM for CBDCA, at the same molar concentration. The production of ROS was the most intense after CDDP, followed by L-OHP and CBDCA. In the comet assay, at the 100 μM concentration, L-OHP and CBDCA induced DNA adducts while CDDP induced adducts as well as DNA strand breaks. CBDCA and L-OHP lead to a significant increase of cleaved PARP at 24h (p < 0.001), suggesting an important apoptotic process induced by these compounds at the used concentrations. CONCLUSIONS The results obtained in the current study suggest that the modulation of copper transporters locally may represent a new strategy against platinum drugs ototoxicity.

Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) is a critical genome defense pathway that deals with a broad range of non-voluminous DNA lesions induced by endogenous or exogenous genotoxic agents. BER is a complex process initiated by the excision of the damaged base, proceeds through a sequence of reactions that generate various DNA intermediates, and culminates with restoration of the original DNA structure. BER has been extensively studied in microbial and animal systems, but knowledge in plants has lagged behind until recently. Results obtained so far indicate that plants share many BER factors with other organisms, but also possess some unique features and combinations. Plant BER plays an important role in preserving genome integrity through removal of damaged bases. However, it performs additional important functions, such as the replacement of the naturally modified base 5-methylcytosine with cytosine in a plant-specific pathway for active DNA demethylation.

Abstract
There is a current interest in the development of biodosimetric methods for rapidly assessing radiation exposure in the wake of a large-scale radiological event. This work was initially focused on determining the exposure dose to an individual using biological indicators. Gene expression signatures show promise for biodosimetric application, but little is known about how these signatures might translate for the assessment of radiological injury in radiosensitive individuals, who comprise a significant proportion of the general population, and who would likely require treatment after exposure to lower doses. Using Parp1-/- mice as a model radiation-sensitive genotype, we have investigated the effect of this DNA repair deficiency on the gene expression response to radiation. Although Parp1 is known to play general roles in regulating transcription, the pattern of gene expression changes observed in Parp1-/- mice 24 h postirradiation to a LD50/30 was remarkably similar to that in wild-type mice after exposure to LD50/30. Similar levels of activation of both the p53 and NFκB radiation response pathways were indicated in both strains. In contrast, exposure of wild-type mice to a sublethal dose that was equal to the Parp1-/- LD50/30 resulted in a lower magnitude gene expression response. Thus, Parp1-/- mice displayed a heightened gene expression response to radiation, which was more similar to the wild-type response to an equitoxic dose than to an equal absorbed dose. Gene expression classifiers trained on the wild-type data correctly identified all wild-type samples as unexposed, exposed to a sublethal dose or exposed to an LD50/30. All unexposed samples from Parp1-/- mice were also correctly classified with the same gene set, and 80% of irradiated Parp1-/- samples were identified as exposed to an LD50/30. The results of this study suggest that, at least for some pathways that may influence radiosensitivity in humans, specific gene expression signatures have the potential to accurately detect the extent of radiological injury, rather than serving only as a surrogate of physical radiation dose.

Abstract
The fruit of the white mulberry tree (Morus alba L.) is a multiple fruit with a sweet flavor commonly consumed around the world. Chemical investigation of the fruits led to the isolation of two indole acetic acid derivatives (1 -2) including a new compound, which turned out to be an isolation artifact, 3S-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-1H-indole-3-acetic acid butyl ester (1), along with five known compounds (3 -7). Compounds 2 and 7 were newly identified from mulberry fruit. The new isolation artifact (1) exhibited cytotoxic effect on human cervical cancer Hela cells in a dose-dependent manner. Compound 1 activated caspase-8, caspase-9, and caspase-3, followed by cleavage of PARP, a substrate of caspase-3, in a dose-dependent manner. Simultaneous alterations in protein expression of mitochondrial factors Bax, BID and Bcl-2 were also observed. A comparison between compounds 1 and 2 led to a structure-activity relationship analysis of the cytotoxic effect. These results suggest that compound 1 could be beneficial in human cervical cancer treatment, and provide a theoretical basis for further application of compound 1.

Abstract
The genetic material of all organisms is susceptible to modification. In some instances, these changes are programmed, such as the formation of DNA double strand breaks during meiotic recombination to generate gamete variety or class switch recombination to create antibody diversity. However, in most cases, genomic damage is potentially harmful to the health of the organism, contributing to disease and aging by promoting deleterious cellular outcomes. A proportion of DNA modifications are caused by exogenous agents, both physical (namely ultraviolet sunlight and ionizing radiation) and chemical (such as benzopyrene, alkylating agents, platinum compounds and psoralens), which can produce numerous forms of DNA damage, including a range of "simple" and helix-distorting base lesions, abasic sites, crosslinks and various types of phosphodiester strand breaks. More significant in terms of frequency are endogenous mechanisms of modification, which include hydrolytic disintegration of DNA chemical bonds, attack by reactive oxygen species and other byproducts of normal cellular metabolism, or incomplete or necessary enzymatic reactions (such as topoisomerases or repair nucleases). Both exogenous and endogenous mechanisms are associated with a high risk of single strand breakage, either produced directly or generated as intermediates of DNA repair. This review will focus upon the creation, consequences and resolution of single strand breaks, with a particular focus on two major coordinating repair proteins: poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) and X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 1 (XRCC1).

Abstract
Colorectal cancer causes 0.5 million deaths each year. To combat this type of cancer the development of new specific drug candidates is urgently needed. In the present work seven novel thymoquinone-artemisinin hybrids with different linkers were synthesized and tested for their in vitro anticancer activity against a panel of various tumor cell lines. The thymoquinone-artesunic acid hybrid 7 a, in which both subunits are connected via an ester bond, was found to be the most active compound and selectively decreased the viability of colorectal cancer cells with an IC50 value of 2.4 μm (HCT116) and 2.8 μm (HT29). Remarkably, hybrid 7 a was up to 20-fold more active than its parent compounds (thymoquinone and artesunic acid), while not affecting nonmalignant colon epithelial HCEC cells (IC50 >100 μm). Moreover, the activity of hybrid 7 a was superior to that of various 1:1 mixtures of thymoquinone and artesunic acid. Furthermore, hybrid 7 a was even more potent against both colon cancer cell lines than the clinically used drug 5-fluorouracil. These results are another excellent proof of the hybridization concept and confirm that the type and length of the linker play a crucial role for the biological activity of a hybrid drug. Besides an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), elevated levels of the DNA-damage marker γ-H2AX were observed. Both effects seem to be involved in the molecular mechanism of action for hybrid 7 a in colorectal cancer cells.

Abstract
Mutations to the p53 gene are common in UV-exposed keratinocytes and contribute to apoptotic resistance in skin cancer. P53-dependent activity is modulated, in part, by a complex, self-limiting feedback loop imposed by miR-34a-mediated regulation of the lysine deacetylase, SIRT1. Expression of numerous microRNAs is dysregulated in squamous and basal cell carcinomas; however the contribution of specific microRNAs to the pathogenesis of skin cancer remains untested. Through use of RNAi, miRNA target site blocking oligonucleotides and small molecule inhibitors, this study explored the influence of p53 mutational status, SIRT1 activity and miR-34a levels on apoptotic sensitivity in primary (NHEK) and p53-mutated (HaCaT) keratinocyte cell lines. SIRT1 and p53 are overexpressed in p53-mutated keratinocytes, whilst miR-34a levels are 90% less in HaCaT cells. HaCaTs have impaired responses to p53/SIRT1/miR-34a axis manipulation which enhanced survival during exposure to the chemotherapeutic agent, camptothecin. Inhibition of SIRT1 activity in this cell line increased p53 acetylation and doubled camptothecin-induced cell death. Our results demonstrate that p53 mutations increase apoptotic resistance in keratinocytes by interfering with miR-34a-mediated regulation of SIRT1 expression. Thus, SIRT1 inhibitors may have a therapeutic potential for overcoming apoptotic resistance during skin cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Association studies of germline DNA repair single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and glioma risk have yielded inconclusive results. We therefore performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies investigating this association. METHODS We identified 27 eligible studies investigating 105 SNPs in 42 DNA repair genes. Of these, 10 SNPs in 7 genes were analyzed in at least 4 studies and were therefore included in our meta-analysis. The meta-analysis was performed for homozygote comparison, heterozygote comparison, and dominant and recessive models by applying a fixed- or random-effects model. The funnel and forest plots were created using RevMan software. RESULTS We found that SNPs rs3212986 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.35 (1.08-1.68), P = .008), rs13181 (OR = 1.18 (1.06-1.31), P = .002), and rs25487 (OR = 1.12 (1.03-1.22), P = .007) in DNA repair genes ERCC1, ERCC2 (XPD), and XRCC1 may increase the risk of glioma, while polymorphisms rs1136410 (OR = 0.78 (0.68-0.89), P = .0004) and rs12917 (OR = 0.84 (0.73-0.96), P = .01) in PARP1(ADPRT) and MGMT are associated with decreased susceptibility to glioma. No evidence of significant associations between ERCC2 rs1799793, OGG1 rs1052133, XRCC1 rs25489, XRCC1 rs1799782, or XRCC3 rs861539 and risk of glioma was observed. CONCLUSION This study provides evidence that DNA repair genes ERCC1, ERCC2, and XRCC1 might be low-penetrance glioma-risk genes, while MGMT and PARP1 polymorphisms may confer protection against glioma.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), an enzyme that is important to the regulation of nuclear function, is activated by DNA strand breakage. In massive DNA damage, PARP is overactivated, exhausting nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and leading to cell death. Recent studies have succeeded in reducing cellular damage in ischemia/reperfusion by inhibiting PARP. However, PARP plays an important part in the DNA repair system, and its inhibition may be hazardous in certain situations. We compared the short-time inhibition of PARP against continuous inhibition during ischemia/reperfusion using isolated rat hearts. The hearts were reperfused after 21 minutes of ischemia with a bolus injection of 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) (10 mg/kg) followed by continuous 3-AB infusion (50 μM) for the whole reperfusion period or for the first 6 minutes or without 3-AB. At the end of reperfusion, contractile function, high-energy phosphate content, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide content, and infarcted area were significantly preserved in the 3-AB 6-minute group. In the 3-AB continuous group, these advantages were not apparent. At the end of reperfusion, PARP cleavage had significantly proceeded in the 3-AB continuous group, indicating initiation of the apoptotic cascade. Thus, continuous PARP inhibition by 3-AB does not reduce reperfusion injury in the isolated rat heart, which may be because of acceleration of apoptosis.

Abstract
Apoptosis is one of the major mechanisms targeted in the development of therapies against various cancers, including prostate cancer. Resistance to chemotherapy poses a significant problem for the effective treatment of androgen-independent (hormone-refractory) prostate cancer. Although high concentrations of sodium selenite exert strong anticarcinogenic effects in several cell culture systems and animal models, the therapeutic potential of selenite in patients with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer is extremely limited by the genotoxicity of high-dose selenite. We examined the ability of nontoxic concentrations of selenite to promote apoptosis and inhibit proliferation in carmustine-sensitized androgen-independent human prostate cancer cells. Androgen-dependent LNCaP cells exhibited a significant decrease in cell viability when exposed to nontoxic concentrations of selenite, whereas androgen-independent PC-3 and DU145 cells showed a significant decrease in cell viability only at higher concentrations. Treatment of PC-3 cells with a combination of nontoxic selenite and carmustine resulted in greater increases in cytotoxicity, reactive oxygen species generation, growth inhibition, apoptosis, and DNA double-strand breaks, with concomitant decreases in DNA synthesis, glutathione, glutathione reductase, and antiapoptotic proteins. Combination treatment with carmustine and selenite triggered caspase-dependent apoptosis in PC-3 cells, which was not apparent when these cells were treated with selenite or carmustine alone. Genotoxicity in normal prostate epithelial cells was completely absent in the combination treatment of carmustine and selenite. In addition, carmustine decreased the induction of DNA double strand breaks by high-dose selenite in normal prostate epithelial cells. This is the first study to demonstrate that a nontoxic dose of selenite, in combination with carmustine, significantly induces apoptosis and growth inhibition in androgen-independent prostate cancer cells without causing undesirable genotoxicity in normal prostate epithelial cells, suggesting that this combination therapy may be a promising therapeutic approach in the treatment of patients with metastatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

Ribosomal protein S3 interacts with TRADD to induce apoptosis through caspase dependent JNK activation. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2012; 421:474-8.

Abstract
It has been reported that ribosomal protein S3 (rpS3) functions as a ribosomal protein, a DNA repair endonuclease, a proapoptotic protein, and an essential subunit of the native NF-κB complex. However, it is unknown how rpS3 induces apoptosis in response to extracellular stresses. We report here that rpS3 sensitizes genotoxic stress-induced apoptosis by activating JNK through a caspase dependent manner. This apoptotic effect was shown to result from the physical interaction between rpS3 and TRADD, as assessed by coimmunoprecipitation. Moreover, GFP-rpS3 colocalized with TRADD around the plasma membrane and in the cytoplasm during apoptosis. Thus, rpS3 appears to be recruited to the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) to induce apoptosis by interacting TRADD in response to extracellular stresses. Based on the findings of this study, we concluded that rpS3 is recruited to the DISC and plays a critical role in both genotoxic stress and cytokine induced apoptosis.

Abstract
Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is a disease of economic importance and a significant animal health and welfare issue. The alveolar macrophage (AlvMϕ) plays a vital role in the immune response to TB and recent studies provide insights into the interactions between Mϕ and Mycobacterium bovis. Here we reveal the early transcriptional response of bovine AlvMϕ to M. bovis infection. We demonstrate up-regulation of immune response genes, including chemokines, members of the NF-κB pathway which may be involved in their transcription and also pro- and anti-apoptotic genes. M. bovis may therefore induce multiple mechanisms to manipulate the host immune response. We compared the response of AlvMϕ to infection with live and heat-killed M. bovis to determine transcriptional differences dependent on the viable pathogen. Several chemokines up-regulated following live M. bovis infection were not up-regulated after heat-killed M. bovis stimulation; hence the Mϕ seems to differentiate between the two stimuli.

Abstract
UV exposure induces skin cancer, in part, by inducing immune suppression. Repairing DNA damage, neutralizing the activity of cis-urocanic acid, and reversing oxidative stress abrogate UV-induced immune suppression and skin cancer induction, suggesting that DNA, UCA, and lipid photo-oxidation serve as UV photoreceptors. What is not clear is whether signaling through each of these different photoreceptors activates independent pathways to induce biological effects or whether there is a common checkpoint where these pathways converge. Here, we show that agents known to reverse photocarcinogenesis and photoimmune suppression, such as platelet-activating factor (PAF) and serotonin (5-HT) receptor antagonists, regulate DNA repair. Pyrimidine dimer repair was accelerated in UV-irradiated mice injected with PAF and 5-HT receptor antagonists. Nucleotide excision repair (NER), as measured by unscheduled DNA synthesis, was accelerated by PAF and 5-HT receptor antagonists. Injecting PAF and 5-HT receptor antagonists into UV-irradiated Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A-deficient mice, which lack the enzymes responsible for NER, did not accelerate photoproduct repair. Similarly, UV-induced formation of 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine was reduced by PAF and 5-HT receptor antagonists. We conclude that PAF and 5-HT receptor antagonists accelerate DNA repair caused by UV radiation, which prevents immune suppression and interferes with photocarcinogenesis.

Abstract
The integrity of the genome in higher eukaryotes, as well as the modulation of its complex structure and functions, is exquisitely regulated. This genomic regulation occurs as a function of time in a very sophisticated and elaborate biological process called cell cycle progression, resulting in cell division, and is also controlled by a highly coordinated and intricate network of molecular signaling pathways, which in turn orchestrate very specific macromolecular interactions among nuclear proteins and DNA at the biochemical level. Among the latter, a prominent enzymatic cycle that is involved in maintaining the integrity of mammalian chromosomes is covalent protein-poly[adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosyl]ation. The importance of this posttranslational modification is illustrated by the close cooperation between two "guardian angels" of the genome, one constitutive and one inducible protein, namely poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and p53, and the integration of these pivotal signaling processes with genomic maintenance.

Abstract
Single-strand breaks are the commonest lesions arising in cells, and defects in their repair are implicated in neurodegenerative disease. One of the earliest events during single-strand break repair (SSBR) is the rapid synthesis of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), followed by its rapid degradation by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). While the synthesis of poly(ADP-ribose) is important for rapid rates of chromosomal SSBR, the relative importance of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) and PARP-2 and of the subsequent degradation of PAR by PARG is unclear. Here we have quantified SSBR rates in human A549 cells depleted of PARP-1, PARP-2, and PARG, both separately and in combination. We report that whereas PARP-1 is critical for rapid global rates of SSBR in human A549 cells, depletion of PARP-2 has only a minor impact, even in the presence of depleted levels of PARP-1. Moreover, we identify PARG as a novel and critical component of SSBR that accelerates this process in concert with PARP-1.

Abstract
This study evaluated the immunohistochemical expression of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and DNA fragmentation factor 45 (DFF45) in normal endometria (NE, n=13), non-atypical (NAH, n=22) and atypical hyperplasia (AH, n=14), endometrioid carcinoma (EC, n=34), serous carcinoma (SC, n=10), and clear cell carcinoma (CCC, n=2). With regard to quantity and intensity of positively stained cells, immunostaining was scored as negative, low, and strong. Nuclear PARP immunoreactivity was found in all cases. If present, DFF45 immunoreactivity was detected predominantly in the nucleus and to some extent in the cytoplasm. PARP immunoreactivity increased significantly from NE via NAH to AH (P=0.0004), and decreased from AH to endometrial carcinomas (P=0.0054). DFF45 immunoreactivity increased significantly from NE to NAH and to AH (P=0.0009). No significant differences were calculated between AH and endometrial carcinomas (P=0.7495). FIGO stages and tumor grades could not be characterized by PARP and DFF45 immunoexpression (P=1.000 and 0.7383, as well as P=0.3034 and 0.7533, respectively). Pearson correlation revealed significant associations of PARP and DFF45 immunoscores for all diagnostic categories of NE, NAH, AH, EC, and SC/CCC. Immunoexpression of PARP and DFF45 is apparently altered in endometrial carcinomas as compared with non-neoplastic endometrial tissues, indicating impaired mechanisms of apoptosis in the former.

Abstract
Actual fields of research in neurobiology are not only aimed at understanding the different aspects of brain aging but also at developing strategies useful to preserve brain compensatory capacity and to prevent the onset of neurodegenerative diseases. Consistent with this trend much attention has been addressed to zinc metabolism. In fact, zinc acts as a neuromodulator at excitatory synapses and has a considerable role in the stress response and in the functionality of zinc-dependent enzymes contributing to maintaining brain compensatory capacity. In particular, the mechanisms that modulate the free zinc pool are pivotal for safeguarding brain health and performance. Alterations in zinc homeostasis have been reported in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease as well as in transient forebrain ischemia, seizures and traumatic brain injury, but little is known regarding aged brain. There is much evidence that that age-related changes, frequently associated to a decline in brain functions and impaired cognitive performances, could be related to dysfunctions affecting the intracellular zinc ion availability. A general agreement emerges from studies of humans' and rodents' old brains about an increased expression of metallothionein (MT) isoforms I and II, but dyshomogenous results are reported for MT-III, and it is still uncertain whether these proteins maintain in aging the protective role, as it occurs in adult/young age. At the same time, there is considerable evidence that amyloid-beta deposition in Alzheimer's disease is induced by zinc, but the pathological significance and the causes of this phenomenon are still an open question. The scientific debate on the role of zinc and of some zinc-binding proteins in aging and neurodegenerative disorders, as well as on the beneficial effect of zinc supplementation in aged brain and neurodegeneration, is extensively discussed in this review.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is an immediate DNA damage-dependent posttranslational modification of histones and nuclear proteins that contributes to the survival of injured proliferating cells. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) now constitute a superfamily of 18 proteins, encoded by different genes and displaying a common conserved catalytic domain. PARP-1 (113kDa), the founding member, and PARP-2 (62kDa) are both involved in DNA-break sensing and signaling when single strand break repair (SSBR) or base excision repair (BER) pathways are engaged. The generation by homologous recombination of deficient mouse models have confirmed the caretaker function of PARP-1 and PARP-2 in mammalian cells under genotoxic stress. This review summarizes our present knowledge on their physiological role in the cellular response to DNA damage and on the genetic interactions between PARP-1, PARP-2, Atm that play an essential role during early embryogenesis.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosylation) is a post-translational modification of proteins playing a crucial role in DNA repair, replication, transcription and cell death. In this paper, the main features of this process have been reviewed, focusing on the best known poly(ADP-ribose) polymerizing enzyme, PARP-1, a DNA nick-sensor protein that uses beta-NAD+ to form polymers of ADP-ribose. The modulation of poly(ADP-ribosylation) during apoptosis and the possible effects of its inhibition on cell metabolism are discussed.

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
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) has become an important pharmacological target in the treatment of cancer due to its cellular role as a 'DNA-strand break sensor', which leads in part to resistance to some existing chemo- and radiological treatments. Inhibitors have now been developed which prevent PARP-1 from synthesizing poly(ADP-ribose) in response to DNA-breaks and potentiate the cytotoxicity of DNA damaging agents. However, with the recent discoveries of PARP-2, which has a similar DNA-damage dependent catalytic activity, and additional members containing the 'PARP catalytic' signature, the isoform selectivity and resultant pharmacological effects of existing inhibitors are brought into question. We present here the crystal structure of the catalytic fragment of murine PARP-2, at 2.8 A resolution, and compare this to the catalytic fragment of PARP-1, with an emphasis on providing a possible framework for rational drug design in order to develop future isoform-specific inhibitors.

Abstract
The human genome, comprising three billion base pairs coding for 30000-40000 genes, is constantly attacked by endogenous reactive metabolites, therapeutic drugs and a plethora of environmental mutagens that impact its integrity. Thus it is obvious that the stability of the genome must be under continuous surveillance. This is accomplished by DNA repair mechanisms, which have evolved to remove or to tolerate pre-cytotoxic, pre-mutagenic and pre-clastogenic DNA lesions in an error-free, or in some cases, error-prone way. Defects in DNA repair give rise to hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, accumulation of mutations in the genome and finally to the development of cancer and various metabolic disorders. The importance of DNA repair is illustrated by DNA repair deficiency and genomic instability syndromes, which are characterised by increased cancer incidence and multiple metabolic alterations. Up to 130 genes have been identified in humans that are associated with DNA repair. This review is aimed at updating our current knowledge of the various repair pathways by providing an overview of DNA-repair genes and the corresponding proteins, participating either directly in DNA repair, or in checkpoint control and signaling of DNA damage.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a key enzyme mediating the cellular response to DNA strand breaks. It plays a critical role in genomic stability and survival of proliferating cells in culture undergoing DNA damage. Intestinal epithelium is the most proliferative tissue in the mammalian body and its stem cells show extreme sensitivity to low-level genotoxic stress. We investigated the role of PARP-1 in the in vivo damage response of intestinal stem cells in crypts of PARP-1-/- and control mice following whole-body gamma-irradiation (1 Gy). In the PARP-1-/- mice there was a significant delay during the first 6 h in the transient p53 accumulation in stem cells whereas an increased number of cells were positive for p21(CIP1/WAF1). Either no or only marginal differences were noted in MDM2 expression, apoptosis, induction of or recovery from mitotic blockage, or inhibition of DNA synthesis. We further observed a dose-dependent reduction in crypt survival measured at 4 days post-irradiation in control mice, and this crypt-killing effect was significantly potentiated in PARP-1-/- mice. Our results thus establish that PARP-1 acts as a survival factor for intestinal stem cells in vivo and suggest a functional link with early p53 and p21(CIP1/WAF1) responses.

Abstract
Activation of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerases 1 and 2 (PARP-1 and PARP-2) is one of the earliest responses of mammalian cells to DNA damage by numerous genotoxic agents. We have analysed the influence of PARP inhibition, either achieved by over-expression of the DNA binding domain of PARP-1 or by treatment with 3,4-dihydro-5-[4-(1-piperidinyl)butoxyl]-1(2H)-isoquinolinone, on the repair of single-strand breaks (SSB), pyrimidine dimers and oxidative base modifications sensitive to Fpg protein (mostly 8-hydroxyguanine) in mammalian cells at very low, non-cytotoxic levels of DNA damage. The data show that the repair rates of all three types of DNA damage are significantly lower in PARP-inhibited cells. Importantly, the retardation of the repair of base modifications is not associated with accumulation of intermediates such as SSB or abasic sites. Moreover, the influence of the PARP inhibition is not observed in cells deficient in Cockayne syndrome B protein (Csb). The results indicate that PARP activation and Csb are both involved in a novel mechanism that accelerates the global repair of various types of DNA modifications.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and the p53 tumor suppressor protein are both involved in the cellular response to genotoxic stress. Upon binding to the site of DNA strand breakage, PARP-1 is activated, leading to rapid and transient poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of nuclear proteins using NAD+ as substrate. To investigate the role of PARP-1 in the p53 response to ionizing radiation in human cells, PARP-1 function was disrupted in wild-type p53 expressing MCF-7 and BJ/TERT cells using two strategies: chemical inhibition with 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline, and trans-dominant inhibition by overexpression of the PARP-1 DNA-binding domain. Although a number of proteins can catalyze poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in addition to PARP-1, we show that PARP-1 is the only detectable active species in BJ/TERT and MCF-7 cells. 1,5-Dihydroxyisoquinoline treatment prior to ionizing radiation delayed and attenuated the induction of two p53-responsive genes, p21 and mdm-2, and led to suppression of the p53-mediated G1-arrest response in MCF-7 and BJ/TERT cells. Trans-dominant inhibition of PARP-1 by overexpression of the PARP-1 DNA-binding domain in MCF-7 cells also led to a delay and attenuation in p21 induction and suppression of the p53-mediated G1 arrest response to ionizing radiation. Hence, inhibition of endogenous PARP-1 function suppresses the transactivation function of p53 in response to ionizing radiation. This study establishes PARP-1 as a critical regulator of the p53 response to DNA damage.

Abstract
Oxidative DNA base damage is mainly corrected by the base excision repair (BER) pathway, which can be divided into two subpathways depending on the length of the resynthetized patch, either one nucleotide for short patch BER or several nucleotides for long patch BER. The role of proteins in the course of BER processes has been investigated in vitro using purified enzymes and cell-free extracts. In this study, we have investigated the repair of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) in vivo using wild-type, polymerase beta(-/-) (Polbeta(-/-)), poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1(-/-) (PARP-1(-/-)), and Polbeta(-/-)PARP-1(-/-) 3T3 cell lines. We used non replicating plasmids containing a 8-oxoG:C base pair to study the repair of the lesion located in a transcribed sequence (TS) or in a non-transcribed sequence (NTS). The results show that 8-oxoG repair in TS is not significantly impaired in cells deficient in Polbeta or PARP-1 or both. Whereas 8-oxoG repair in NTS is normal in Polbeta-null cells, it is delayed in PARP-1-null cells and greatly impaired in cells deficient in both Polbeta and PARP-1. The removal of 8-oxoG and presumably the cleavage at the resulting apurinic/apyrimidinic site are not affected in the PARP-1(-/-)Polbeta(-/-) cell lines. However, 8-oxoG repair is incomplete, yielding plasmid molecules with a nick at the site of the lesion. Therefore, PARP-1(-/-)Polbeta(-/-) cell lines cannot perform 5'-dRP removal and/or DNA repair synthesis. Furthermore, the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation activity of PARP-1 is essential for 8-oxoG repair in a Polbeta(-/-) context, because expression of the catalytically inactive PARP-1 (E988K) mutant does not restore 8-oxoG repair, whereas an wild type PARP-1 does.

Following alkylating agent treatment, parp-2(-/-)-derived mouse embryonic fibroblasts exhibit increased post-replicative genomic instability, G(2)/M accumulation and chromosome mis-segregation accompanying kinetochore defects. Moreover, parp-1(-/-)parp-2(-/-) double mutant mice are not viable and die at the onset of gastrulation, demonstrating that the expression of both PARP-1 and PARP-2 and/or DNA-dependent poly(ADP-ribosyl) ation is essential during early embryogenesis. Interestingly, specific female embryonic lethality is observed in parp-1(+/-)parp-2(-/-) mutants at E9.5. Meta phase analyses of E8.5 embryonic fibroblasts highlight a specific instability of the X chromosome in those females, but not in males. Together, these results support the notion that PARP-1 and PARP-2 possess both overlapping and non-redundant functions in the maintenance of genomic stability.

Abstract
Given the presence of continuous endogenous and exogenous sources of stress, mammalian species have evolved complex systems of protection, detoxification and repair, in order to maintain homeostasis during development and until reproductive maturity for the sake of the species. However, since no system is perfect, complete prevention of damage is unlikely to occur. Accumulation of macromolecular damage, including damage to DNA and genomic instability, is considered a driving force for the ageing process and age-related diseases. One of the immediate eukaryotic cellular responses to DNA breakage is the covalent post-translational modification of nuclear proteins with poly(ADP-ribose) from NAD+ as precursor, mostly catalysed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is involved in DNA base-excision repair (BER), DNA-damage signalling and regulation of genomic stability. In recent years, many groups have become involved in PARP field, shedding light on new partners for PARP-1, new members of the PARP family and new physiological and pathophysiological properties for the founding member of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase super family. The present review focuses on PARP-1 and its role in the maintenance of genome stability and in mammalian longevity.

Abstract
The DNA damage dependence of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-2 (PARP-2) activity is suggestive of its implication in genome surveillance and protection. Here we show that the PARP-2 gene, mainly expressed in actively dividing tissues follows, but to a smaller extent, that of PARP-1 during mouse development. We found that PARP-2 and PARP-1 homo- and heterodimerize; the interacting interfaces, sites of reciprocal modification, have been mapped. PARP-2 was also found to interact with three other proteins involved in the base excision repair pathway: x-ray cross complementing factor 1 (XRCC1), DNA polymerase beta, and DNA ligase III, already known as partners of PARP-1. XRCC1 negatively regulates PARP-2 activity, as it does for PARP-1, while being a polymer acceptor for both PARP-1 and PARP-2. To gain insight into the physiological role of PARP-2 in response to genotoxic stress, we developed by gene disruption mice deficient in PARP-2. Following treatment by the alkylating agent N-nitroso-N-methylurea (MNU), PARP-2-deficient cells displayed an important delay in DNA strand breaks resealing, similar to that observed in PARP-1 deficient cells, thus confirming that PARP-2 is also an active player in base excision repair despite its low capacity to synthesize ADP-ribose polymers.

Abstract
Malignant melanoma is a tumor that responds poorly to a variety of apoptosis-inducing treatment modalities, such as chemotherapy. The expression of genes that regulate apoptotic cell death plays an important role in determining the sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic intervention. Bcl-x(L) is an antiapoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family and is universally expressed in human melanoma. To evaluate the Bcl-x(L) protein as a potential therapeutic target in melanoma, the influence of Bcl-x(L) expression levels on the chemoresistance of human melanoma cells was investigated. Overexpression of Bcl-x(L) in stably transfected human melanoma Mel Juso cells significantly reduced sensitivity to cisplatin-induced apoptosis (p < or = 0.05). In a parallel approach, reduction of Bcl-x(L) protein by specific AS oligonucleotide (ISIS 16009) treatment enhanced the chemosensitivity of Mel Juso cells by 62% compared to cells treated with MM control oligonucleotide (ISIS 16967) as well as chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. These data suggest that Bcl-x(L) is an important factor contributing to the chemoresistance of human melanoma. Reduction of Bcl-x(L) expression by AS oligonucleotides provides a rational and promising approach that may help to overcome chemoresistance in this malignancy.

Abstract
Death ligands not only induce apoptosis but can also trigger necrosis with distinct biochemical and morphological features. We recently showed that in L929 cells CD95 ligation induces apoptosis, whereas TNF elicits necrosis. Treatment with anti-CD95 resulted in typical apoptosis characterized by caspase activation and DNA fragmentation. These events were barely induced by TNF, although TNF triggered cell death to a similar extent as CD95. Surprisingly, whereas the caspase inhibitor zVAD prevented CD95-mediated apoptosis, it potentiated TNF-induced necrosis. Cotreatment with TNF and zVAD was characterized by ATP depletion and accelerated necrosis. To investigate the mechanisms underlying TNF-induced cell death and its potentiation by zVAD, we examined the role of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1 (PARP-1). TNF but not CD95 mediated PARP activation, whereas a PARP inhibitor suppressed TNF-induced necrosis and the sensitizing effect of zVAD. In addition, fibroblasts expressing a noncleavable PARP-1 mutant were more sensitive to TNF than wild-type cells. Our results indicate that TNF induces PARP activation leading to ATP depletion and subsequent necrosis. In contrast, in CD95-mediated apoptosis caspases cause PARP-1 cleavage and thereby maintain ATP levels. Because ATP is required for apoptosis, we suggest that PARP-1 cleavage functions as a molecular switch between apoptotic and necrotic modes of death receptor-induced cell death.

Abstract
The tumour suppressor protein p53 plays a key role in the cell's decision to arrest the cell cycle or undergo apoptosis following a genotoxic insult. p53 is stabilized and activated after DNA damage, however the cascade of events signalling from DNA lesions to p53 stabilization and activation is still controversial. Poly (ADP-ribosylation) of different nuclear acceptors by PARP-1 is an early event when a single strand DNA lesion is produced. We present here evidences that interplay between PARP-1 and p53 is dependent on the type of damage induced to DNA. Primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from parp-1 -/- mice exhibited decreased p53 accumulation and activation following gamma-irradiation compared to parp-1 proficient cells. On the other hand, treatment with the single alkylating agent 2'-methyl-2'-nitrose-urea (MNU), resulted in the rapid and sustained accumulation and activation of p53 in parp-1-deficient cells, while very little accumulation was observed in parp-1 +/+ cells. After IR, the turnover of the p53 inhibitory protein MDM-2 is perturbed and the level of phosphorylation of p53 at serine-15 is blunted in parp-1 -/- cells. PARP-1 is determinant in the cytotoxic response to alkylating agents but only partially contributes to radiation-induced cell killing, as determined by colony forming assay. Altogether, these results suggest that PARP-1 participates in the p53 response following irradiation, resides upstream of p53 and indirectly modulates the level of phosphorylation of key substrates in this pathway while treatment with MNU results in an enhanced p53-mediated response in parp-1-null cells.

Abstract
Cells that lack PARP-1 activity are limited in their ability to repair DNA single strand breaks and respond to DNA damage with a strong accumulation of p53 and enhanced rates of apoptotic cell death. We have generated combinatorial mutant mice that both lack p53 and PARP-1 activity due to the expression of a dominant negative PARP-1 allele targeted to T-cells by the lck promoter. Here we report that these double mutant mice develop T-cell lymphoma at a significantly reduced latency period compared to single p53 null mice that are already cancer prone. We demonstrate that the absence of p53 does not only protect T-cells from lck-PARP-DBD transgenic mice from apoptosis but also abrogates the DNA damage induced cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase. T-cells from double mutant mice continue to proliferate after the induction of DNA strand breaks, are limited in their DNA repair capacity and cannot be eliminated by apoptosis. These results indicate that PARP-1 and p53 cooperate in the suppression of tumorigenesis by maintaining genomic integrity after DNA damage through the activation of a G1/S cell cycle checkpoint the initiation of DNA repair and the induction of cell death.

Abstract
One of the immediate eukaryotic cellular responses to DNA breakage is the covalent post-translational modification of nuclear proteins with poly(ADP-ribose) from NAD+ as precursor, mostly catalysed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). Recently several other polypeptides have been shown to catalyse poly(ADP-ribose) formation. Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is involved in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological phenomena. Physiological functions include its participation in DNA-base excision repair, DNA-damage signalling, regulation of genomic stability, and regulation of transcription and proteasomal function, supporting the previously observed correlation of cellular poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation capacity with mammalian life. The pathophysiology effects are mediated through PARP-1 overactivity, which can cause cell suicide by NAD+ depletion. It is apparent that the latter effect underlies the pathogenesis of a wide range of disease states including type-1 diabetes, ischaemic infarcts in various organs, and septic or haemorrhagic shock. Therefore pharmacological modulation of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation may prove to be an exciting option for various highly prevalent, disabling and even lethal diseases.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)-1, a detector of single-strand breaks, plays a key role in the cellular response to DNA damage. PARP-1-deficient mice are hypersensitive to genotoxic agents and display genomic instability due to a DNA repair defect in the base excision repair pathway. A previous report suggested that PARP-1-deficient mice also had a severe telomeric dysfunction consisting of telomere shortening and increased end-to-end fusions (d'Adda di Fagagna, F., M.P. Hande, W.-M. Tong, P.M. Lansdorp, Z.-Q. Wang, and S.P. Jackson. 1999. NAT: Genet. 23:76-80). In contrast to that, and using a panoply of techniques, including quantitative telomeric (Q)-FISH, we did not find significant differences in telomere length between wild-type and PARP-1(-/)- littermate mice or PARP-1(-/)- primary cells. Similarly, there were no differences in the length of the G-strand overhang. Q-FISH and spectral karyotyping analyses of primary PARP-1(-/)- cells showed a frequency of 2 end-to-end fusions per 100 metaphases, much lower than that described previously (d'Adda di Fagagna et al., 1999). This low frequency of end-to-end fusions in PARP-1(-/)- primary cells is accordant with the absence of severe proliferative defects in PARP-1(-/)- mice. The results presented here indicate that PARP-1 does not play a major role in regulating telomere length or in telomeric end capping, and the chromosomal instability of PARP-1(-/)- primary cells can be explained by the repair defect associated to PARP-1 deficiency. Finally, no interaction between PARP-1 and the telomerase reverse transcriptase subunit, Tert, was found using the two-hybrid assay.

Abstract
PARP-1-deficient mice display a severe defect in the base excision repair pathway leading to radiosensitivity and genomic instability. They are protected against necrosis induced by massive oxidative stress in various inflammatory processes. Mice lacking p53 are highly predisposed to malignancy resulting from defective cell cycle checkpoints, resistance to DNA damage-induced apoptosis as well as from upregulation of the iNOS gene resulting in chronic oxidative stress. Here, we report the generation of doubly null mutant mice. We found that tumour-free survival of parp-1(-/-)p53(-/-) mice increased by 50% compared with that of parp- 1(+/+)p53(-/-) mice. Tumour formation in nude mice injected with oncogenic parp-1(-/-)p53(-/-) fibroblasts was significantly delayed compared with parp-1(+/+)p53(-/-) cells. Upon gamma-irradiation, a partial restoration of S-phase radiosensitivity was found in parp-1(-/-)p53(-/-) primary fibroblasts compared with parp-1(+/+)p53(-/-) cells. In addition, iNOS expression and nitrite release were dramatically reduced in the parp-1(-/-)p53(-/-) mice compared with parp-1(+/+)p53(-/-) mice. The abrogation of the oxydated status of p53(-/-) cells, due to the absence of parp-1, may be the cause of the delay in the onset of tumorigenesis in parp-1(-/-)p53(-/-) mice.
