Abstract
Leukemia is a malignant disease of the hematopoietic system, in which clonal leukemia cells accumulate and inhibit normal hematopoiesis in the bone marrow and other hematopoietic tissues as a result of uncontrolled proliferation and impaired apoptosis, among other mechanisms. In this study, the anti-leukemic effect of a compound (SGP-17-S) extracted from Chloranthus multistachys, a plant with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-tumor effects, was evaluated. The effect of SGP-17-S on the viability of leukemic cell was demonstrated by MTT assay, cell cycle, and apoptosis were assessed by flow cytometry using PI staining and Annexin V/PI double staining. Combinations of network pharmacology and cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) with western blot were used to validate agents that act on leukemia targets. The results showed that SGP-17-S inhibited the growth of leukemia cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. SGP-17-S blocked HEL cells in the G2 phase, induced apoptosis, decreased Bcl-2 and caspase-8 protein expression, and increased Bax and caspase-3 expression. In addition, CETSA revealed that PARP1 is an important target gene for the inhibition of HEL cell growth, and SGP-17-S exerted its action on leukemia cells by targeting PARP1. Therefore, this study might provide new solutions and ideas for the treatment of leukemia.

Abstract
PURPOSE We evaluated the properties and activity of AZD9574, a blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetrant selective inhibitor of PARP1, and assessed its efficacy and safety alone and in combination with temozolomide (TMZ) in preclinical models. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AZD9574 was interrogated in vitro for selectivity, PARylation inhibition, PARP-DNA trapping, the ability to cross the BBB, and the potential to inhibit cancer cell proliferation. In vivo efficacy was determined using subcutaneous as well as intracranial mouse xenograft models. Mouse, rat, and monkey were used to assess AZD9574 BBB penetration and rat models were used to evaluate potential hematotoxicity for AZD9574 monotherapy and the TMZ combination. RESULTS AZD9574 demonstrated PARP1-selectivity in fluorescence anisotropy, PARylation, and PARP-DNA trapping assays and in vivo experiments demonstrated BBB penetration. AZD9574 showed potent single agent efficacy in preclinical models with homologous recombination repair deficiency in vitro and in vivo. In an O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT)-methylated orthotopic glioma model, AZD9574 in combination with TMZ was superior in extending the survival of tumor-bearing mice compared with TMZ alone. CONCLUSIONS The combination of three key features-PARP1 selectivity, PARP1 trapping profile, and high central nervous system penetration in a single molecule-supports the development of AZD9574 as the best-in-class PARP inhibitor for the treatment of primary and secondary brain tumors. As documented by in vitro and in vivo studies, AZD9574 shows robust anticancer efficacy as a single agent as well as in combination with TMZ. AZD9574 is currently in a phase I trial (NCT05417594).

Abstract
Currently available PARP inhibitors are mainly used for the treatment of BRCA-mutated triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), with a narrow application range of approximately 15% of patients. Recent studies have shown that EZH2 inhibitors have an obvious effect on breast cancer xenograft models and can promote the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to PARP inhibitors. Here, a series of new dual-target PARP1/EZH2 inhibitors for wild-BRCA type TNBC were designed and synthesized. SAR studies helped us identify compound 12e, encoded KWLX-12e, with good inhibitory activity against PARP1 (IC50 = 6.89 nM) and EZH2 (IC50 = 27.34 nM). Meanwhile, KWLX-12e showed an optimal cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 cells (IC50 = 2.84 μM) and BT-549 cells (IC50 = 0.91 μM), with no toxicity on normal breast cell lines. KWLX-12e also exhibited good antitumor activity with the TGI value of 75.94%, more effective than Niraparib plus GSK126 (TGI = 57.24%). Mechanistic studies showed that KWLX-12e achieved synthetic lethality indirectly by inhibiting EZH2 to increase the sensitivity to PARP1, and induced cell death by regulating excessive autophagy. KWLX-12e is expected to be a potential candidate for the treatment of TNBC.

Abstract
Stanniocalcin-1 (STC1) is upregulated by inflammation and modulates oxidative stress-induced cell death. Herein, the function of STC1 in colitis and stress-induced parthanatos, a newly identified type of programmed necrotic cell death dependent on the activation of poly-ADP ribose polymerase-1 (PARP1) is investigated. Results show that STC1 expression is markedly increased in the inflamed colonic mucosa of Crohn's disease (CD) patients and chemically-induced mice colitis models. Evaluation of parthanatos severity and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression shows that intestinal-specific Stc1 knockout (Stc1INT-KO ) mice are resistant to dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis and exhibit lower disease severity. STC1-overexpressing cells show an increased degree of parthanatos and proinflammatory cytokine expression, whereas STC1-knockout cells show a decreased degree of parthanatos. Co-immunoprecipitation, mass spectrometry, and proteomic analyses indicate that STC1 interacts with PARP1, which activates the JNK pathway via PARP1-JNK interactions. Moreover, inhibition of PARP1 and JNK alleviates parthanatos and inflammatory injuries triggered by STC1 overexpression. Finally, following restoration of Stc1 and Parp1 expression by adeno-associated viruses, and overexpression of Stc1 and Parp1 aggravated DSS-induced colitis in Stc1INT-KO mice. In conclusion, STC1 mediates oxidative stress-associated parthanatos and aggravates inflammation via the STC1-PARP1-JNK interactions and subsequent JNK pathway activation in CD pathogenesis.

Abstract
The global burden of colorectal cancer (CRC) has rapidly increased in recent years. Dysregulated cholesterol homeostasis facilitated by extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling transforms the tumor microenvironment. Collagen I, a major with ECM component is highly expressed in colorectal tumors with infiltrative growth. Although oxysterol binding protein (OSBP)-related proteins accommodate tumorigenesis, OSBPL2, which is usually involved in deafness, is not associated with CRC progression. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the pathological function of OSBPL2 and identify the molecular link between ECM-Collagen I and OSBPL2 in CRC to facilitate the development of new treatments for CRC. OSBPL2 predicted a favorable prognosis in stage IV CRC and substantially repressed Collagen I-induced focal adhesion, migration, and invasion. The reduction of OSBPL2 activated ERK signaling through the VCAN/AREG/EREG axis during CRC growth, while relying on PARP1 via ZEB1 in CRC metastasis. OSBPL2 defect supported colorectal tumor growth and metastasis, which were suppressed by the ERK and PARP1 inhibitors SCH772984 and AG14361, respectively. Overall, our findings revealed that the Collagen I-induced loss of OSBPL2 aggravates CRC progression through VCAN-mediated ERK signaling and the PARP1/ZEB1 axis. This demonstrates that SCH772984 and AG14361 are reciprocally connective therapies for OSBPL2Low CRC, which could contribute to further development of targeted CRC treatment.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) is an enzyme that mainly degrades poly (ADP-ribose) (PAR) synthesized by poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family proteins. Although PARG is involved in many biological phenomena, including DNA repair, cell differentiation, and cell death, little is known about the relationship between osteoclast differentiation and PARG. It has also not been clarified whether PARG is a valuable target for therapeutic agents in the excessive activity of osteoclast-related bone diseases such as osteoporosis. In the present study, we examined the effects of PARG inhibitor PDD00017273 on osteoclast differentiation in RANKL-induced RAW264 cells. PDD00017273 induced the accumulation of intracellular PAR and suppressed the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cells. PDD00017273 also downregulated osteoclast differentiation marker genes such as Trap, cathepsin K (Ctsk), and dendrocyte expressed seven transmembrane protein (Dcstamp) and protein expression of nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1), a master regulator of osteoclast differentiation. Taken together, our findings suggest that dysfunction of PARG suppresses osteoclast differentiation via the PAR accumulation and partial inactivation of the NFATc1.

Abstract
Excessive activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) contributes to ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI). PARP inhibition has been shown to be beneficial in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in the early phase, but its role in the repair process remains unclear. The effects of JPI-289, a novel PARP inhibitor, during the healing phase after renal IRI were investigated. IRI was performed on 9-week-old male C57BL/6 mice. Saline or JPI-289 100 mg/kg was intraperitoneally administered once at 24 h or additionally at 48 h after IRI. Hypoxic HK-2 cells were treated with JPI-289. Renal function and fibrosis extent were comparable between groups. JPI-289 treatment caused more prominent tubular atrophy and proinflammatory intrarenal leukocyte phenotypes and cytokines/chemokines changes at 12 weeks after unilateral IRI. JPI-289 treatment enhanced gene expressions associated with collagen formation, toll-like receptors, and the immune system in proximal tubules and endothelial cells after IRI. JPI-289 treatment at 3 or 6 h after hypoxia facilitated proliferation of hypoxic HK-2 cells, whereas further treatment after 24 h suppressed proliferation. Delayed inhibition of PARP after renal IRI did not facilitate the repair process during the early healing phase but rather may aggravate renal tubular atrophy during the late healing phase in ischemic AKI.

Abstract
PARP1 is a multifaceted component of DNA repair and chromatin remodeling, making it an effective therapeutic target for cancer therapy. The recently reported proteolytic targeting chimera (PROTAC) could effectively degrade PARP1 through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, expanding the therapeutic application of PARP1 blocking. In this study, a series of nitrogen heterocyclic PROTACs were designed and synthesized through ternary complex simulation analysis based on our previous work. Our efforts have resulted in a potent PARP1 degrader D6 (DC50 = 25.23 nM) with high selectivity due to nitrogen heterocyclic linker generating multiple interactions with the PARP1-CRBN PPI surface, specifically. Moreover, D6 exhibited strong cytotoxicity to triple negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 (IC50 = 1.04 µM). And the proteomic results showed that the antitumor mechanism of D6 was found that intensifies DNA damage by intercepting the CDC25C-CDK1 axis to halt cell cycle transition in triple-negative breast cancer cells. Furthermore, in vivo study, D6 showed a promising PK property with moderate oral absorption activity. And D6 could effectively inhibit tumor growth (TGI rate = 71.4 % at 40 mg/kg) without other signs of toxicity in MDA-MB-321 tumor-bearing mice. In summary, we have identified an original scaffold and potent PARP1 PROTAC that provided a novel intervention strategy for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer.

Abstract
The antibiotic pyrazinamide (PZA) is a cornerstone of tuberculosis (TB) therapy that shortens treatment durations by several months despite being only weakly bactericidal. Intriguingly, PZA is also an anti-inflammatory molecule shown to specifically reduce inflammatory cytokine signaling and lesion activity in TB patients. However, the target and clinical importance of PZA's host-directed activity during TB therapy remain unclear. Here, we identify the host enzyme Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase 1 (PARP1), a pro-inflammatory master regulator strongly activated in TB, as a functionally relevant host target of PZA. We show that PZA inhibits PARP1 enzymatic activity in macrophages and in mice where it reverses TB-induced PARP1 activity in lungs to uninfected levels. Utilizing a PZA-resistant mutant, we demonstrate that PZA's immune-modulatory effects are PARP1-dependent but independent of its bactericidal activity. Importantly, PZA's bactericidal efficacy is impaired in PARP1-deficient mice, suggesting that immune modulation may be an integral component of PZA's antitubercular activity. In addition, adjunctive PARP1 inhibition dramatically reduces inflammation and lesion size in mice and may be a means to reduce lung damage and shorten TB treatment duration. Together, these findings provide insight into PZA's mechanism of action and the therapeutic potential of PARP1 inhibition in the treatment of TB.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibitors can selectively kill homologous recombination (HR) deficient cancer cells and elicit anticancer effect through a mechanism of synthetic lethality. In this study, we designed, synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated a series of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazine derivatives as a class of potent PARP1 inhibitors. Among them, compounds 17m, 19a, 19c, 19e, 19i and 19k not only displayed more potent inhibitory activities (IC50s < 4.1 nM) than 9 and 1 against PARP1, but also exhibited nanomolar range of antiproliferative effects against MDA-MB-436 (BRCA1-/-, IC50s < 1.9 nM) and Capan-1 (BRCA2-/-, IC50s < 21.6 nM) cells. Notably, 19k significantly inhibited proliferation of resistant Capan-1 cells (IC50s < 0.3 nM). Collectively, the newly discovered PARP1 inhibitors act as a useful pharmacological tool for investigating the mechanism of acquired resistance to PARP1 inhibitors, and may also represent promising therapeutic agents for the treatment of HR deficient cancers with the potential to overcome the acquired resistance.

Abstract
Depression is a serious mood disorder characterized by monoamines deficiency, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and cell death. Niacin (vitamin B3 or nicotinic acid, NA), a chief mediator of neuronal development and survival in the central nervous system, exerts neuroprotective effects in several experimental models. AIMS This study aimed to investigate the effect of NA in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mouse model of depression exploring its ability to regulate sirtuin1/poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1)/nod-likereceptor protein 3 (NLRP3) signaling. MAIN METHODS Mice were injected with LPS (500 µg/kg, i.p) every other day alone or concurrently with oral doses of either NA (40 mg/kg/day) or escitalopram (10 mg/kg/day) for 14 days. KEY FINDINGS Administration of NA resulted in significant attenuation of animals' despair reflected by decreased immobility time in forced swimming test. Moreover, NA induced monoamines upsurge in addition to sirtuin1 activation with subsequent down regulation of PARP-1 in the hippocampus. Further, it diminished nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) levels and inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome with consequent reduction of caspase-1, interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α levels, thus mitigating LPS-induced neuroinflammation. NA also reduced tumor suppressor protein (p53) while elevating brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels. LPS-induced decline in neuronal survival was reversed by NA administration with an obvious increase in the number of intact cells recorded in the histopathological micrographs. SIGNIFICANCE Accordingly, NA is deemed as a prosperous candidate for depression management via targeting SIRT1/PARP-1 pathway.

Abstract
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a vector-borne viral disease that causes acute encephalitis in children. Although vaccines have been developed against the JE virus (JEV), no effective antiviral therapy exists. Our study shows that inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), an NAD+-dependent (poly-ADP) ribosyl transferase, protects against JEV infection. Interestingly, PARP1 is critical for JEV pathogenesis in Neuro-2a cells and mice. Small molecular inhibitors of PARP1, olaparib, and 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) significantly reduce clinical signs and viral load in the serum and brains of mice and improve survival. PARP1 inhibition confers protection against JEV infection by inhibiting autophagy. Mechanistically, upon JEV infection, PARP1 PARylates AKT and negatively affects its phosphorylation. In addition, PARP1 transcriptionally upregulates PTEN, the PIP3 phosphatase, negatively regulating AKT. PARP1-mediated AKT inactivation promotes autophagy and JEV pathogenesis by increasing the FoxO activity. Thus, our findings demonstrate PARP1 as a potential mediator of JEV pathogenesis that can be effectively targeted for treating JE.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a particularly invasive subtype of breast cancer and usually has a poor prognosis due to the lack of effective therapeutic targets. Approximately 25% of TNBC patients carry a breast cancer susceptibility gene1/2 (BRCA1/2) mutation. Clinically, PARP1 inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of patients with BRCA1/2-mutated breast cancer through the mechanism of synthetic lethality. In this study, we identified compound 6 {systematic name: 2-[2-(4-Hydroxy-phenyl)-vinyl]-3H-quinazolin-4-one} as a novel PARP1 inhibitor from established virtual screening methods. Compound 6 exerted stronger PARP1 inhibitory activity and anti-cancer activity as compared to olaparib in BRCA1-mutated TNBC cells and TNBC patient-derived organoids. Unexpectedly, we found that compound 6 also significantly inhibited cell viability, proliferation, and induced cell apoptosis in BRCA wild-type TNBC cells. To further elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism, we found that tankyrase (TNKS), a vital promoter of homologous-recombination repair, was a potential target of compound 6 by cheminformatics analysis. Compound 6 not only decreased the expression of PAR, but also down-regulated the expression of TNKS, thus resulting in significant DNA single-strand and double-strand breaks in BRCA wild-type TNBC cells. In addition, we demonstrated that compound 6 enhanced the sensitivity of BRCA1-mutated and wild-type TNBC cells to chemotherapy including paclitaxel and cisplatin. Collectively, our study identified a novel PARP1 inhibitor, providing a therapeutic candidate for the treatment of TNBC.

Abstract
Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is found to be one of the life-threatening cancer. Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is overexpressed by those tumour cells, which become resistant to chemotherapies. Inhibition of PARP-1 has a considerable effect on treating TNBC. Prodigiosin is a valuable pharmaceutical compound that exhibits anticancer properties. The present study aims to virtually evaluate prodigiosin as a potent PARP-1 inhibitor using Molecular docking and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation studies. The PASS (Prediction of Activity Spectra for Substances) prediction tool evaluated the biological properties of prodigiosin. Then the drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic properties of prodigiosin were determined using Swiss-ADME software. It was suggested that prodigiosin obeyed Lipinski's rule of five and thus could act as a drug with good pharmacokinetic properties. Moreover, molecular docking was done with AutoDock 4.2 to identify the critical amino acids of the protein-ligand complex. It was indicated that prodigiosin has a docking score of -8.08 kcal/mol, which showed its effective interaction with crucial amino acid, His201A of PARP-1 protein. Further, MD simulation was performed using Gromacs software to validate the stability of the prodigiosin-PARP-1 complex. Prodigiosin was found to have good structural stability and affinity at the active site of PARP-1 protein. Additionally, PCA and MM-PBSA were calculated for the prodigiosin-PARP-1 complex, which revealed that prodigiosin has an excellent binding affinity towards PARP-1 protein. Prodigiosin can possibly be used as oral drug due to its PARP-1 inhibition through high binding affinity, structural stability, and receptor flexibility towards crucial amino acid residue His201A of PARP-1 protein. In-addition, in-vitro cytotoxicity, and apoptosis analysis of prodigiosin-treated TNBC cell line-MDA-MB-231 revealed that prodigiosin exhibited significant anticancer activity in 101.1 µg/mL concentration, when compared to commercially available synthetic drug cisplatin. Thus, prodigiosin could act as a potential candidate for treatment of TNBC than the commercially available synthetic drugs.

Abstract
The molecular toxicity of the uranyl ion (UO22+) in living cells is primarily determined by its high affinity to both native and potential metal-binding sites that commonly occur in the structure of biomolecules. Recent advances in computational and experimental research have shed light on the structural properties and functional impacts of uranyl binding to proteins, organic ligands, nucleic acids, and their complexes. In the present work, we report the results of the computational investigation of the uranyl-mediated loss of DNA-binding activity of PARP-1, a eukaryotic enzyme that participates in DNA repair, cell differentiation, and the induction of inflammation. The latest experimental studies have shown that the uranyl ion directly interacts with its DNA-binding subdomains, zinc fingers Zn1 and Zn2, and alters their tertiary structure. Here, we propose an atomistic mechanism underlying this process and compute the free energy change along the suggested pathway. Our Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics (QM/MM) simulations of the Zn2-UO22+ complex indicate that the uranyl ion replaces zinc in its native binding site. However, the resulting state is destroyed due to the spontaneous internal hydrolysis of the U-Cys162 coordination bond. Despite the enthalpy of hydrolysis being +2.8 kcal/mol, the overall reaction free energy change is -0.6 kcal/mol, which is attributed to the loss of domain's native tertiary structure originally maintained by a zinc ion. The subsequent reorganization of the binding site includes the association of the uranyl ion with the Glu190/Asp191 acidic cluster and significant perturbations in the domain's tertiary structure driven by a further decrease in the free energy by 6.8 kcal/mol. The disruption of the DNA-binding interface revealed in our study is consistent with previous experimental findings and explains the loss of PARP-like zinc fingers' affinity for nucleic acids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Burn injury induces multiple signaling pathways leading to a significant inflammatory storm that adversely affects multiple organs, including the heart. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor 1 (PARP1) inhibition, with specific agents such as N-(5,6-Dihydro-6-oxo-2-phenanthridinyl)-2-acetamide (PJ34), is effective in reducing oxidative stress and cytokine expression in the heart. We hypothesized that PARP1 inhibition would reduce inflammatory signaling and protect against burn injury-induced cardiac dysfunction. STUDY DESIGN Male Sprague-Dawley rats (8 weeks old, 300 to 350 g) were randomly assigned to sham injury (Sham), 60% total body surface area burn (24 hours post burn), or 60% total body surface area burn with intraperitoneal administration of PJ34 (20 mg/kg, 24 hours post burn + PJ34) and sacrificed 24 hours after injury. Cardiac function was determined using Vevo 2100 echocardiography. Genetic expression of 84 specific toll-like receptor-mediated signal transduction and innate immunity genes were examined using microarray to evaluate cardiac tissue. Qiagen GeneGlobe Data Analysis Center was used to analyze expression, and genetic clustering was performed using TreeView V2.0.8 software. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to validate identified differentially expressed genes. RESULTS Burn injury significantly altered multiple genes in the toll-like receptor signaling, interleukin-17 signaling, tumor necrosis factor signaling, and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways and led to significant cardiac dysfunction. PARP1 inhibition with PJ34 normalized these signaling pathways to sham levels as well as improved cardiac function to sham levels. CONCLUSIONS PARP1 inhibition normalizes multiple inflammatory pathways that are altered after burn injury and improves cardiac dysfunction. PARP1 pathway inhibition may provide a novel methodology to normalize multiple burn injury-induced inflammatory pathways in the heart.

Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) allow the delivery of cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents to tumors. Two ADC delivering topoisomerase I (TOP1) poisons (Enhertu and Trodelvy) have recently been FDA-approved for Her2- and Trop2-expressing solid tumors. In a recent study, a TOP1-anti B7-H4 ADC was described and shown to be synergistic with a novel PARP1-selective inhibitor. See related article by Kinneer et al., p. 1086.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the single most lethal gynecologic malignancy. Cannabis sativa is used to treat various medical conditions, and is cytotoxic to a variety of cancer types. We sought to examine the effectiveness of different combinations of cannabis compounds against OC. Cytotoxic activity was determined by XTT assay on HTB75 and HTB161 cell lines. Apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. Gene expression was determined by quantitative PCR and protein localization by confocal microscopy. The two most active fractions, F5 and F7, from a high Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabis strain extract, and their standard mix (SM), showed cytotoxic activity against OC cells and induced cell apoptosis. The most effective phytocannabinoid combination was THC+cannabichromene (CBC)+cannabigerol (CBG). These fractions acted in synergy with niraparib, a PARP inhibitor, and were ~50-fold more cytotoxic to OC cells than to normal keratinocytes. The F7 and/or niraparib treatments altered Wnt pathway-related gene expression, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype and β-catenin cellular localization. The niraparib+F7 treatment was also effective on an OC patient's cells. Given the fact that combinations of cannabis compounds and niraparib act in synergy and alter the Wnt signaling pathway, these phytocannabinoids should be examined as effective OC treatments in further pre-clinical studies and clinical trials.

Abstract
Cancer is imposing a global health burden because of the steady increase in new cases. Moreover, current anticancer therapeutics are associated with many drawbacks, mainly the emergence of resistance and the severe adverse effects. Therefore, there is a continuous need for developing new anticancer agents with novel mechanisms of action and lower side effects. Natural products have been a rich source of anticancer medication. Cycleanine, a natural product, was reported to exert an antiproliferative effect on ovarian cancer cells by causing apoptosis through activation of caspases 3/7 and cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase to form poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1). It is well-established that PARP1 is associated with carcinogenesis, and different PARP1 inhibitors are approved as anticancer drugs. In this study, the cytotoxic activity of cycleanine was computationally investigated to determine whether it is a PARP1 inhibitor or a caspase activator. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were utilized for this purpose. The results showed that cycleanine has a good binding affinity to PARP1; moreover, MD simulation showed that it forms a stable complex with the enzyme. Consequently, the results showed that cycleanine is a potential inhibitor of the PARP1 enzyme.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study compares the plasma and salivary Metrnl levels of patients newly diagnosed with type-2 diabetes who were treated with metformin for three months with those of a healthy volunteer group and immunohistochemically analyzes Metrnl in salivary glands. PATIENTS AND METHODS 30 healthy volunteers and 30 newly diagnosed type-2 diabetes patients were included in the study. The newly diagnosed diabetes patients were treated with metformin for three months, and the plasma and salivary metformin levels of both groups were measured at baseline and after the three months of metformin treatment in the patient group. Plasma HbA1c, low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and Triglyceride (TG) values of all groups were also measured at baseline following three months of metformin treatment. Biopsies were taken from the parotid and submandibular glands and immunohistochemical staining was performed to show Metrnl immunoreactivity. RESULTS Plasma Metrnl, HbA1c, LDL-C and TG levels were higher in the newly diagnosed diabetes group than in the other group, and salivary Metrnl levels were higher than in the control group after three months of metrformin treatment. An examination of the immunohistochemical staining of salivary gland biopsies under light microscope revealed Metrnl immunoreactivity in the intralobular and interlobular ducts of the parotid gland, while Metrnl immunoreactivity was observed in the acinar cells in the intralobular striated duct and interlobular ducts in the submandibular gland. CONCLUSIONS Plasma Metrnl, HbA1c, LDL-C and TG levels were higher in the newly diagnosed diabetes group than in the other group. Metrnl immunoreactivity was detected in the parotid and submandibular glands. The relationship between Metrnl and DM should be investigated in larger groups.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a blood malignancy that is characterized by remarkable expression of CD69 and Ki67 in CLL cells. Elevated levels of Cleaved-Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) and microRNA-155 (MiR-155) are related to poor prognosis of disease. Berberine as a natural isoquinoline alkaloid, has shown an anti-tumor potential in tumor cells. The objective of present study was to explore some aspects of molecular mechanisms of berberine effect in CLL cells. To analyze the expression of CD69 and Ki67 using flow cytometry, 16 peripheral blood samples and seven bone marrow aspirates were collected from CLL patients. Isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) were treated with 25 µM of berberine for 24 h. The level of miR-155 expression was subsequently evaluated by real-time PCR. Furthermore, western blot was used for assessment of cleaved PARP1. Our results demonstrated a significant reduction in CD69 and Ki67 expression on CD19+ cells when the cells were treated by berberine. Interestingly, the expression level of miR-155 was reduced after berberine treatment in compare to the control group. Furthermore, western blotting revealed an increased level of cleaved PARP1 in dose-dependently manner in CLL cells. The results confirmed the anti-tumor impact of berberine on CLL cells through reducing CD69, Ki67, and miR-155 expression and increasing cleaved PARP1 may be considered as an option for future clinical studies.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) accounts for approximately 4% of cancer deaths in women worldwide and is the deadliest gynecologic malignancy. High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most predominant ovarian cancer, in which BRCA1/2 gene mutation ranges from 3 to 27%. PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have shown promising results as a synthetically lethal therapeutic approach for BRCA mutant and recurrent OC in clinical use. However, emerging data indicate that BRCA-deficient cancers may be resistant to PARPi, and the mechanisms of this resistance remain elusive. We found that amplification of KRAS likely underlies PARPi resistance in BRCA2-deficient HGSOC. Our data suggest that PLK1 inhibition restores sensitivity to PARPi in HGSOC with KRAS amplification. The sequential combination of PLK1 inhibitor (PLK1i) and PARPi drastically reduces HGSOC cell survival and increases apoptosis. Furthermore, we were able to show that a sequential combination of PLK1i and PARPi enhanced the cellular apoptotic response to carboplatin-based chemotherapy in KRAS-amplified resistant HGSOC cells and 3D spheroids derived from recurrent ovarian cancer patients. Our results shed new light on the critical role of PLK1 in reversing PARPi resistance in KRAS-amplified HGSOC, and offer a new therapeutic strategy for this class of ovarian cancer patients where only limited options currently exist.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) has high therapeutic value as biomolecular target for research and development of small molecules with antineoplastic activity, since it is upregulated in many cancers, especially in ovarian and BRCA 1/2 mutated breast cancers. Decades of investigation of PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have led to the approval of several drug compounds, however clinical application of PARPi in cancer therapy is limited due to a number of factors, including low selectivity, weak affinity and undesired side effects. Thus, identification of novel drug-like chemical compounds with alternatives to the known PARPi chemical scaffolds, binding modes and interaction patterns with amino acid residues in the active site is of high therapeutic importance. In this study we applied a combination of ligand- and structure-based virtual screening approaches with the goal of identification of novel potential PARPi.

Abstract
In recent times, inhibition of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes by pharmacological drugs has attracted much attention as an anticancer therapy. As reported, PARP-16 has been discovered as a novel anticancer target for small cell lung cancer, and that the inhibition of both PARP-16 and PARP-1 by talazoparib can increase the overall effectiveness of talazoparib in the SCLC treatment. In this study, we employed computational approaches to investigate the differential inhibitory potency of Talazoparib on PARP-1 and PARP-16. Talazoparib has excellent PARP-1 and PARP-16 binding activities, as revealed by the ΔGbind (total binding energy). Pp16-tpb had binding energy of -34.85 kcal/mol, while pp1-tpb had a binding energy of -26.36 kcal/mol. The binding activity of Talazoparib on both PARP-1 and PARP-16 was significantly influenced by van der Waal and electrostatic interactions. Correspondingly, according to the findings of this study, binding residues with total binding energy greater than 1.00 kcal/mol contributed considerably to the Talazoparib's binding activities on PARP-1 and PARP-16. We believe the findings of this study will pave the way for developing dual targeting of PARP enzymes as a strategy for small-cell lung cancer treatment.

Abstract
A number of uracil amides cleave poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase and therefore novel thiouracil amide compounds were synthesized and screened for the loss of cell viability in a human-estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer cell line. The synthesized compounds exhibited moderate to significant efficacy against human breast cancer cells, where the compound 5e IC50 value was found to be 18 μM. Thouracil amide compounds 5a and 5e inhibited the catalytical activity of PARP1, enhanced cleavage of PARP1, enhanced phosphorylation of H2AX, and increased CASPASE 3/7 activity. Finally, in silico analysis demonstrated that compound 5e interacted with PARP1. Hence, specific thiouracil amides may serve as new drug-seeds for the development of PARP inhibitors for use in oncology.

Abstract
Reinvigorating the antitumor immune response using immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has revolutionized the treatment of several malignancies. However, extended use of ICIs has resulted in a cancer-specific response. In tumors considered to be less immunogenic, the response rates were low or null. To overcome resistance and improve the beneficial effects of ICIs, novel strategies focused on ICI-combined therapies have been tested. In particular, poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) are a class of agents with potential for ICI combined therapy. PARPi impairs single-strand break DNA repair; this mechanism involves synthetic lethality in tumor cells with deficient homologous recombination. More recently, novel evidence indicated that PAPRi has the potential to modulate the antitumor immune response by activating antigen-presenting cells, infiltrating effector lymphocytes, and upregulating programmed death ligand-1 in tumors. This review covers the current advances in the immune effects of PARPi, explores the potential rationale for combined therapy with ICIs, and discusses ongoing clinical trials.

Abstract
Transketolase (Tkt), an enzyme in pentose phosphate pathway, has been reported to regulate genome instability and cell survival in cancers. Yet, the role of Tkt after myocardial ischemic injury remains to be elucidated. Label-free proteomics revealed dramatic elevation of Tkt in murine hearts after myocardial infarction (MI). Lentivirus-mediated Tkt knockdown ameliorated cardiomyocyte apoptosis and preserved the systolic function after myocardial ischemic injury. In contrast, Tkt overexpression led to the opposite effects. Inducible conditional cardiomyocyte Tkt-knockout mice were generated, and cardiomyocyte-expressed Tkt was found to play an intrinsic role in the ischemic heart failure of these model mice. Furthermore, through luciferase assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation, Tkt was shown to be a direct target of transcription factor Krüppel-like factor 5 (Klf5). In cardiomyocytes under ischemic stress, Tkt redistributed into the nucleus. By binding with the full-length poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (Parp1), facilitating its cleavage, and activating apoptosis inducible factor (Aif) subsequently, nuclear Tkt demonstrated its non-metabolic functions. Overall, our study confirmed that elevated nuclear Tkt plays a noncanonical role in promoting cardiomyocyte apoptosis via the cleaved Parp1/Aif pathway, leading to the deterioration of cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the regulatory effect and mechanism of DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3a) in hydroquinone-induced hematopoietic stem cell toxicity. METHODS Cells (HSPC-1) were divided into 4 groups, that is A: normal HSPC-1; B: HQ-intervented HSPC-1; C: group B + pcDNA3 empty vector; D: group B + pcDNA3- DNMT3a. RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression levels of DNMT3a and PARP-1 mRNA and protein, respectively. Cell morphology was observe; Cell viability and apoptosis rate of HSPC-1 were detected by MTT and flow cytometry, respectively. RESULTS Compared with group A, the expression levels of DNMT3a mRNA and protein in HSPC-1 of group B were decreased, while PARP-1 mRNA and protein were increased (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the above indexes between group C and group B; compared with group B, the expression levels of DNMT3a mRNA and protein showed increased, while PARP-1 mRNA and protein were decreased significantly in cells of group D transfected with DNMT3a (P<0.05). Cells in each group were transfected with DNMT3a and cultured for 24 h, HSPC-1 in group A showed high density growth and mononuclear fusion growth, while the number of HSPC-1 in group B and C decreased and grew slowly. Compared with group B and C, the cell growth rate of group D was accelerated. The MTT analysis showed that cell viability of HSPC-1 in group B were lower than that of group A at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h (P<0.05); after transfected with DNMT3a, the cell viability of HSPC-1 in group D were higher than that of group B at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h (P<0.05). The apoptosis rate of cells in group B was significantly higher than that of group A (P<0.001), while the apoptosis rate in group D was lower than that of group B (P<0.001). CONCLUSION DNMT3a may be involved in the damage of hematopoietic stem cells induced by hydroquinone, which may be related to the regulation of PARP-1 activity by hydroquinone-inhibited DNMT3a.

Abstract
ADP ribosylation is a reversible posttranslational modification mediated by poly(ADP-ribose)transferases (e.g., PARP1) and (ADP-ribosyl)hydrolases (e.g., ARH3 and PARG), ensuring synthesis and removal of mono-ADP-ribose or poly-ADP-ribose chains on protein substrates. Dysregulation of ADP ribosylation signaling has been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Huntington's disease. Recessive ADPRHL2/ARH3 mutations are described to cause a stress-induced epileptic ataxia syndrome with developmental delay and axonal neuropathy (CONDSIAS). Here, we present two families with a neuropathy predominant disorder and homozygous mutations in ADPRHL2 We characterized a novel C26F mutation, demonstrating protein instability and reduced protein function. Characterization of the recurrent V335G mutant demonstrated mild loss of expression with retained enzymatic activity. Although the V335G mutation retains its mitochondrial localization, it has altered cytosolic/nuclear localization. This minimally affects basal ADP ribosylation but results in elevated nuclear ADP ribosylation during stress, demonstrating the vital role of ADP ribosylation reversal by ARH3 in DNA damage control.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effects of hesperidin (HSP) on oxidants/antioxidants status, inflammation, apoptotic, and autophagic activity in hepato-renal toxicity induced by chronic chlorpyrifos (CPF) exposure in rats. We used a total of 35 male albino rats in five groups of seven: control, HSP 100, CPF, CPF + HSP50, and CPF + HSP100. After rats were sacrificed, blood, liver, and kidney samples were collected. Serum levels of aspartate aminotransferases (ALT and AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), creatinine, and urea were tested. Then, contents of the superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione (GSH) were measured to detect the level of oxidative stress in rat liver and renal tissues. We measured inflammatory and autophagy markers of chlorpyrifos induced oxidative stress in the liver and kidney tissues including TNF-α, iNOS, IL-1 β, COX-2, NF-κB, MAPK14, and Beclin-1 using ELISA. Histopathological findings were also examined followed by immunohistochemical determination of 8-OHdG expression. Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) was used to examine Cas-3, Bax, Bcl-2, PARP-1, and VEGF, which are associated with apoptosis, autophagy, DNA, and endothelial damage, respectively. In addition, PARP-1 activity was supported by western blot and immunofluorescence, VEGF activity was supported by western blot methods. Treatment with HSP reduced the effect of CPF on ALT, AST, ALP, and total proteins, and increased its effect on tissue antioxidants. PARP/VEGF, apoptotic, pro-apoptotic, anti-apoptotic, and autophagic gene expressions were regulated, and Caspase-3 and Bax expressions were decreased; Bcl-2 expression increased in both the liver and kidney samples, and positivity of 8-OHdG and PARP-1 were reduced in the CPF plus HSP-treated group. Overall, the study demonstrates that HSP may reduce the effects of hepato-renal toxicity caused by CPF by regulating oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, and PARP/VEGF genes at biochemical, cellular, and molecular levels.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested that human RNA helicase, DDX3X, is important for DNA repair, but little is known about the nuclear activity of this protein. In vitro analysis of nuclear DDX3X interactions and localization with DNA damage pointed to a direct role for DDX3X in the DNA damage response. We aimed to investigate whether DDX3X plays a direct role in the DNA damage response in live cells. In order to track nuclear DDX3X, we generated a nuclear-export deficient DDX3X mutant construct and performed microirradiation in live cells. We found that DDX3X accumulates at sites of microirradiation shortly after DNA damage induction. We further found DDX3X recruitment to be mediated by its intrinsically disordered domains, similar to other RNA binding proteins that are recruited to sites of DNA damage. Inhibition of liquid-liquid phase separation also reduced DDX3X recruitment. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of PARP1 ablated DDX3X recruitment, which was restored upon transgenic expression of wild-type PARP1 but not catalytically inactive PARP1, suggesting that DDX3X recruitment is PARP1-dependent.

Abstract
Unlike widely perceived, resveratrol (RSV) decreased the average lifespan and extended only the replicative lifespan in yeast. Similarly, although not widely discussed, RSV is also known to evoke neurite degeneration, kidney toxicity, atherosclerosis, premature senescence, and genotoxicity through yet unknown mechanisms. Nevertheless, in vivo animal models of diseases and human clinical trials demonstrate inconsistent protective and beneficial effects. Therefore, the mechanism of action of RSV that elicits beneficial effects remains an enigma. In a previously published work, we demonstrated structural similarities between RSV and tyrosine amino acid. RSV acts as a tyrosine antagonist and competes with it to bind to human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (TyrRS). Interestingly, although both isomers of RSV bind to TyrRS, only the cis-isomer evokes a unique structural change at the active site to promote its interaction with poly-ADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1), a major determinant of cellular NAD+-dependent stress response. However, retention of trans-RSV in the active site of TyrRS mimics its tyrosine-bound conformation that inhibits the auto-poly-ADP-ribos(PAR)ylation of PARP1. Therefore, we proposed that cis-RSV-induced TyrRS-regulated auto-PARylation of PARP1 would contribute, at least in part, to the reported health benefits of RSV through the induction of protective stress response. This observation suggested that trans-RSV would inhibit TyrRS/PARP1-mediated protective stress response and would instead elicit an opposite effect compared to cis-RSV. Interestingly, most recent studies also confirmed the conversion of trans-RSV and its metabolites to cis-RSV in the physiological context. Therefore, the finding that cis-RSV and trans-RSV induce two distinct conformations of TyrRS with opposite effects on the auto-PARylation of PARP1 provides a potential molecular basis for the observed dichotomic effects of RSV under different experimental paradigms. However, the fact that natural RSV exists as a diastereomeric mixture of its cis and trans isomers and cis-RSV is also a physiologically relevant isoform has not yet gained much scientific attention.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 is a promising target for the treatment of cancer due to its involvement in base excision repair pathways for repairing DNA single-strand breaks. However, available PARP-1 inhibitors target a highly conserved PARPs catalytic domain, which causes toxicity due to the off-target activity. Therefore, the present study was hypothesized to identify selective inhibitors by targeting specific protein-protein interacting (PPI) PARP-1 BRCT domain. Moreover, PPI hotspot residues (Gly399, Lys400, Leu401, Lys441 & Lys442) and a druggable pocket was detected to screen small molecule inhibitors. Hence, two FDA approved drug molecules (levoleucovorin and balsalazide) were recognized to fit in the druggable pocket. Since they are already under investigation for anti-cancer activity, thus could be further explored in PARP-1 sensitive cancer cells to expand their selectivity and develop as effective anti-cancer agents. Besides, the study also provides detailed structural insight of PARP-1 and XRCC1 complex through their BRCT domains.

Abstract
The essential components of splicing are the splicing factors accumulated in nuclear speckles; thus, we studied how DNA damaging agents and A-type lamin depletion affect the properties of these regions, positive on the SC-35 protein. We observed that inhibitor of PARP (poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase), and more pronouncedly inhibitors of RNA polymerases, caused DNA damage and increased the SC-35 protein level. Interestingly, nuclear blebs, induced by PARP inhibitor and observed in A-type lamin-depleted or senescent cells, were positive on both the SC-35 protein and another component of the spliceosome, SRRM2. In the interphase cell nuclei, SC-35 interacted with the phosphorylated form of RNAP II, which was A-type lamin-dependent. In mitotic cells, especially in telophase, the SC-35 protein formed a well-visible ring in the cytoplasmic fraction and colocalized with β-catenin, associated with the plasma membrane. The antibody against the SRRM2 protein showed that nuclear speckles are already established in the cytoplasm of the late telophase and at the stage of early cytokinesis. In addition, we observed the occurrence of splicing factors in the nuclear blebs and micronuclei, which are also sites of both transcription and splicing. This conclusion supports the fact that splicing proceeds transcriptionally. According to our data, this process is A-type lamin-dependent. Lamin depletion also reduces the interaction between SC-35 and β-catenin in mitotic cells.

Abstract
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the most frequent head and neck malignant tumors and is majorly treated by radiotherapy. However, radiation resistance remains a serious obstacle to the successful treatment of NPC. The aim of this study was to discover the underlying mechanism of radioresistance and to elucidate novel genes that may play important roles in the regulation of NPC radiosensitivity. By using RNA-seq analysis of NPC cell line CNE2 and its radioresistant cell line CNE2R, lncRNA CASC19 was screened out as a candidate radioresistance marker. Both in vitro and in vivo data demonstrated that a high expression level of CASC19 was positively correlated with the radioresistance of NPC, and the radiosensitivity of NPC cells was considerably enhanced by knockdown of CASC19. The incidence of autophagy was enhanced in CNE2R in comparison with CNE2 and another NPC cell line HONE1, and silencing autophagy with LC3 siRNA (siLC3) sensitized NPC cells to irradiation. Furthermore, CASC19 siRNA (siCASC19) suppressed cellular autophagy by inhibiting the AMPK/mTOR pathway and promoted apoptosis through the PARP1 pathway. Our results revealed for the first time that lncRNA CASC19 contributed to the radioresistance of NPC by regulating autophagy. In significance, CASC19 might be a potential molecular biomarker and a new therapeutic target in NPC.

Abstract
Chromatin structure is dynamically reorganized at multiple levels in response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Yet, how the different steps of chromatin reorganization are coordinated in space and time to differentially regulate DNA repair pathways is insufficiently understood. Here, we identify the Chromodomain Helicase DNA Binding Protein 7 (CHD7), which is frequently mutated in CHARGE syndrome, as an integral component of the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) DSB repair pathway. Upon recruitment via PARP1-triggered chromatin remodeling, CHD7 stimulates further chromatin relaxation around DNA break sites and brings in HDAC1/2 for localized chromatin de-acetylation. This counteracts the CHD7-induced chromatin expansion, thereby ensuring temporally and spatially controlled 'chromatin breathing' upon DNA damage, which we demonstrate fosters efficient and accurate DSB repair by controlling Ku and LIG4/XRCC4 activities. Loss of CHD7-HDAC1/2-dependent cNHEJ reinforces 53BP1 assembly at the damaged chromatin and shifts DSB repair to mutagenic NHEJ, revealing a backup function of 53BP1 when cNHEJ fails.

Abstract
Binge drinking is a frequent pattern of ethanol consumption within Alcohol Use Disorders (AUDs). Binge-like ethanol exposure increases Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) expression and activity. PARP enzymes have been implicated in addiction and serve multiple roles in the cell, including gene expression regulation. In this study, we examined the effects of binge-like alcohol consumption in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of adult C57BL/6J male mice via a 4-day Drinking-in-the-Dark (DID) paradigm. The role of PARP in associated gene expression and behavioral changes was assessed by administering the PARP inhibitor ABT-888 on the last DID day. We then conducted an RNA-seq analysis of the PFC gene expression changes associated with DID-consumed ethanol or ABT-888 treatment. A separate cohort of mice was inoculated with an HSV-PARP1 vector in the PFC and subject to a DID experiment to verify whether overexpressed PARP1 increased ethanol drinking. We confirmed that alcohol increases Parp1 gene expression and PARP activity in the PFC. RNA-seq showed significantly altered expression of 41 genes by DID-consumed ethanol, and of 48 genes by ABT-888. These results were confirmed by qPCR in 7 of the 10 genes validated, 4 of which have been previously associated with addiction. ABT-888 reduced, and overexpression of PFC PARP1 increased DID ethanol consumption. In our model, alcohol binge drinking induced specific alterations in the PFC expression of genes potentially involved in addiction. Pharmacological PARP inhibition proved effective in reversing these changes and preventing further alcohol consumption. Our results suggest an involvement of ethanol-induced PARP1 in reinforcing binge-like addictive behavior.

Abstract
The neuroprotective effect of Kaempferol against cadmium chloride (CdCl2) -induced neurotoxicity is well reported. The silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) and poly (ADP-Ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) are two related cellular molecules that can negatively affect the activity of each other to promote or inhibit cell survival, respectively. It is still largely unknown if the neurotoxicity of CdCl2 or the neuroprotection of Kaempferol are mediated by modulating SIRT1 and/or PAPR1 activities. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that CdCl2-induced memory deficit and hippocampal damage are associated with downregulation/inhibition of SIRT1 and activation of PAPR1, an effect that can be reversed by co-treatment with Kaempferol. Rats (n = 12/group) were divided into 4 groups as control, control + Kaempferol (50 mg//kg), CdCl2 (0.5 mg/kg), and CdCl2 + Kaempferol. All treatments were administered orally for 30 days daily. As compared to control rats, CdCl2 reduced rat's final body weights (21.8%) and their food intake (30%), induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in their hippocampi, and impaired their short and long-term recognition memory functions. Besides, the hippocampi of CdCl2-treated rats had higher levels of TNF-α (197%), and IL-6 (190%) with a concomitant increase in nuclear activity and levels of NF-κB p65 (721% & 554%). Besides, they showed reduced nuclear activity (53%) and levels (74%) of SIRT1, higher nuclear activity and levels of PARP1 (292% & 138%), increased nuclear levels of p53 (870%), and higher acetylated levels of NF-κB p65 (513%), p53 (644%), PARP1 (696%), and FOXO-2 (149%). All these events were significantly reversed in the CdCl2 + Kaempferol-treated rats. Of note, Kaempferol also increased levels of MnSOD (73.5%), and GSH (40%), protein levels of Bcl-2 (350%), and nuclear activity (67%) and levels (46%) of SIRT1 in the hippocampi of the control rats. In conclusion, Kaempferol ameliorates CdCl2-induced memory deficits and hippocampal oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis by increasing SIRT1 activity and inhibiting PARP1 activity.

Abstract
Exposure to benzene is a common occupational hazard as well as a hematopoietic system intoxicant, but the entire picture of its molecular pathogenesis is still hazy. Its leukemogenic effect could be attributed to DNA damage, decreased repair capacity, altered methylation patterns, and defective apoptosis. Poly ADP-ribose polymerase1, DNA methyltransferase1, and CCCTC-binding factor (PARP1-DNMT1-CTCF) complex play an essential role in methylation maintenance and DNA damage repair response. This study aimed to assess the expression of PARP1, PAR glycohydrolases (PARG), DNMT1, CTCF, and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) in subjects occupationally exposed to benzene. A total of 200 subjects were enrolled in this study: 100 workers occupationally exposed to benzene (painters and decorators) and 100 unexposed office workers. Occupational exposure data were obtained. The biochemical and hematological evaluations were done. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to assess mRNA expression of PARP1, PARG, DNMT1, CTCF, and AIF. Both biochemical and hematological parameters were within normal limits; workplace benzene air concentration was significantly higher in exposed workers than the levels among controls (P < 0.001). Significant decrease in mRNA levels of PARP1, DNMT1, CTCF, and AIF was noticed among the exposed group (P = 0.01, P < 0.001, P = 0.004, P < 0.001, respectively) in comparison with the control group, while PARG showed non-significant difference (P = 0.16). There was a significant negative correlation between workplace benzene air concentration and expression levels of PARP1, DNMT1, and AIF. The reduced expression of PARP1, DNMT1, CTCF, and AIF observed in exposed workers may represent one of the first benzene-induced changes that might threaten erythropoiesis.

Abstract
With the development of modern industry, the problem of cadmium (Cd) pollution cannot be ignored and its toxicity has caused great personal injury to humans. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) protein is a research hotspot in recent years, the research we have published shows that 5 μM of Cd-treated NRK-52E cells activated PARP-1, but the specific effects of PARP-1 on DNA damage and cell cycle is unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to reveal the effect of Cd on DNA damage and cell cycle arrest in NRK-52E cells, in addition, to investigate the role of PARP-1 in mediating this effect. Western blotting, comet assay, QRT-PCR, immunofluorescence, and co-immunoprecipitation were used to detect DNA damage and cell cycle-associated protein expression. Flow cytometry was used to assess cell cycle distribution and the apoptosis rates. Results showed that after the increase in treatment time and Cd concentration, the degree of DNA damage was significantly increased, and a transition from G0/G1 to S phase arrest was observed. In addition, inhibition of PARP-1 expression exacerbated cell damage and cell cycle arrest when DNA damage was low, but attenuated cell damage and even cell cycle arrest when DNA damage was severe. These findings in this study indicate that Cd causes DNA damage in NRK-52E cells, leading to cell cycle arrest at different phases depending on the degree of DNA damage. Moreover, PARP-1 plays an important role in mediating this effect, when DNA damage is low, it functions in DNA repair, however, when DNA damage is severe, it aggravates cell damage and induces cell death.

Abstract
Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) are the most widely used pesticides in the world. The extensive use of them increases the potential human health risk, including the human inhalation toxicity risk. We studied the effect of the most famous GBH Roundup® (RDP) in the concentration range from 50 to 125 μg/mL on Mitochondria-Associated apoptosis and DNA damage in Human alveolar carcinoma cells (A549 cells). Alkaline comet assay, immunofluorescence assay and Flow Cytometric Analysis assay were employed to detect DNA damages and apoptosis of A549 cells. We found RDP caused concentration-dependent increases in DNA damages and proportion of apoptotic cells in A549 cells. RDP induced the DNA single-strand breaks and double-strand breaks; the collapse of mitochondrial membrane by increasing Bax/Bcl-2, resulting in the release of cytochrome c into cytosol and then activated caspase-9/-3, cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in human lung tissue cells. The results demonstrate that RDP can induce A549 cells cytotoxic effects in vitro at the concentration lower than the occupational exposures level of workers, which means RDP has a potential threat to human health.

Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a kind of persistent organic pollutant, can induce hepatotoxicity in mammals. However, PCB-induced hepatotoxicity in offspring and the underlying mechanisms have been rarely studied. In the present study, Wistar rats were administered with corn oil or PCB52 (1 mg/kg body weight/day, by gavage) from gestational day 7 to postnatal day 21. In the PCB52-treated group, birth body lengths and weights were significantly decreased compared with the control group, suggesting developmental toxicity. Cytoplasmic injury in hepatocytes was observed in PCB52-treated male offspring, while no pathologic change was observed in female offspring, suggesting sex-biased hepatotoxicity. Furthermore, using an RNA-Seq method, coincided with the sexual bias, 454 differential expression genes (DEGs) were screened out in liver tissues of PCB52-treated male offspring, while 10 DEGs were screened out in female offspring. By KEGG annotation analysis, 4 in 12 significant pathways in male offspring were metabolism-related. In the present study, together with cytoplasmic injury of hepatocytes, decreased metabolic enzymes both at RNA and protein levels might aggravate loss of clearance capacity of hepatocytes and induce hepatotoxicity. Moreover, over-expressed peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta and mitogen-activated protein kinase 9 might activate apoptosis, which was verified by the augments of cleaved poly ADP-ribose polymerase 1 and caspase 3 in PCB52-treated male offspring. Taken together, PCB52 had developmental toxicity and induced sex-biased hepatotoxicity. The hepatotoxicity in male offspring might be attributed to the aggravated loss of clearance capacity and activation of apoptosis.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer patients with homologous recombination deficiencies exhibit specific clinical behaviors, and improved responses to treatments, such as platinum-based chemotherapy and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, have been observed. Germline mutations in the BRCA 1/2 genes are the most well-known mechanisms of homologous recombination deficiency. However, other mechanisms, such as germline and somatic mutations in other homologous recombination genes and epigenetic modifications, have also been implicated in homologous recombination deficiency. The epidemiology and implications of these other mechanisms need to be better understood to improve the treatment strategies for these patients. Furthermore, an evaluation of various diagnostic tests to investigate homologous recombination deficiency is essential. Comprehension of the role of homologous recombination deficiency in ovarian cancer also allows the development of therapeutic combinations that can improve the efficacy of treatment. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology and management of homologous recombination deficiency in ovarian cancer patients.

Abstract
Ursolic acid (UA) has been recently used as a promising anti-tumor and cancer metastatic chemo-preventive agent due to its low toxicity and liver-protecting property. However, the low bioavailability and nonspecific tumor targeting restrict its further clinical application. To address the problem, a silica-based mesoporous nanosphere (MSN) controlled-release drug delivery system (denoted UA@M-CS-FA) was designed and successfully synthesized, and was functionalized with folic acid (FA) and pH-sensitive chitosan (CS) for the targeted delivery of UA to folate receptor (FR) positive tumor cells. UA@M-CS-FA were spherical with mean diameter below 150 nm, and showed about -20 mV potential. Meanwhile, UA@M-CS-FA exhibited a pH-sensitive release manner and high cellular uptake in FR over-expressing HeLa cancer cells. Also, in vitro cellular assays suggested that UA@M-CS-FA inhibited cancer cell growth, invasion and migration. Mechanistically, UA@M-CS-FA induced cancer cell apoptosis and inhibited migration via cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 stage, regulating the PARP/Bcl-2/MMP-9/CD44/PTEN/P53. Importantly, in vivo experiments further confirmed that UA@M-CS-FA significantly suppressed the tumor progression and lung metastasis in tumor-bearing nude mice. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that UA@M-CS-FA treatment regulated CD44, a biomarker of cancer metastasis. Overall, our data demonstrated that a CS and FA modified MSN controlled-release drug delivery system could help broaden the usage of UA and reflect the great application potential of the UA as an anticancer or cancer metastatic chemopreventive agent.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the mechanism of sunitinib-induced autophagy in renal cell carcinoma cells. METHODS MTS assay was applied to detect the cell viability alteration under the treatment of sunitinib (2, 8 μmol/L). The sunitinib-induced autophagy as well as cell apoptosis was measured and compared after knocking down autophagy-related protein Beclin1 and microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 fusion protein (LC3) by RNA interference. The transmission electron microscope was used to observe the formation of autophagosomes in ACHN cells. The fluorescence microscope was used to monitor distribution and aggregation of endogenous LC3-II. The expressions of protein such as LC3-II, the autophagic regulation molecules protein kinase B/ mammalian target of rapamycin (Akt/mTOR) and the symbol of apoptosis poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) were capable to be detected by immunoblotting assay. RESULTS Sunitinib was able to significantly trigger cell viability loss in the renal carcinoma cell ACHN, which was both in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner (P<0.05). After reducing the autophagy by knocking down Beclin1 and LC3, the number of cleavage of PARP was increased remarkably, whereas there was nearly not any cleavage in the mock group. By the transmission electron microscope, there were more autophagic vacuoles in ACHN cells after being administrated with sunitininb compared with the control. And the nuclear-to-cytosol translocation as well as aggregation of LC3-II was presented after sunitinib treatment by the fluorescence microscope, which was the proof of the enhanced autophagy. According to the immunoblotting, sunitinib was able to increase the accumulation of LC3-II . At the same time, the result of sunitinib combined with chloroquine, a drug which blocked the fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes, demonstrated that the increasing amount of LC3-II was due to the enhanced autophagy flux by sunitinib treatment in ACHN cells. However, phosphorylation of Akt as well as mTOR was decreased at the same time. The rapamycin (mTOR inhibitor) or knocking down Akt subunits could change the sunitinib-induced LC3 -II accumulation, whereas overexpression of Akt subunits decreased the autophagic flux, indicating that Akt/mTOR was the target of sunitinib in autophagy. CONCLUSION Sunitinib induced autophagy via suppressing Akt/mTOR pathway, and the autophagy was involved in apopotosis.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1/2 (PARP1/2) can catalyze the poly (ADP ribose) (PAR) substrate protein modification and play an important role in the regulation of DNA damage repair, cell death and transcriptional activity. The PARP inhibitor olaparib (AZD2281) can be used as a sensitizer of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the cancer treatment. Through establishment of biological fluorescent labeled 4T1 ectopic breast tumor model, we found that olaparib exhibited a poor effect on 4T1 breast cancer alone. However, in the combination with Taxol, olaparib significantly increased the anti-tumor effect of Taxol, and reduced the PAR levels of the tumor tissues. Importantly, olaparib did not amplify the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs. This study suggests that olaparib is a representative of the PARP inhibitor that can enhance Taxol’s antitumor effect in the 4T1 ectopic breast tumor model, which sets the foundation for future study of the mechanism of olaparib action.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brown macroalgae have attracted attention because they display a wide range of biological activities, including antitumoral properties. Inthis study we isolated isololiolide from Cystoseira tamariscifolia for the first time. PURPOSE To examine the therapeutical potential of isololiolide against tumor cell lines. METHODS/STUDY DESIGN The structure of the compound was established and confirmed by 1D and 2D NMR as well as HRMS spectral analysis. The in vitro cytotoxicity was analyzed by colorimetric 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay in tumoral as well as in non-tumoral cell lines. Cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis were assessed by flow cytometry. Alteration of expression levels in proteins important in the apoptotic cascade was analyzed by western blotting. RESULTS Isololiolidewas isolated for the first time from the brown macroalga C.tamariscifolia. Isololiolide exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against three human tumoral cell lines, namely hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells, whereas no cytotoxicity was found in non-malignant MRC-5 and HFF-1 human fibroblasts. Isololiolide completely disrupted the HepG2 normal cell cycle and induced significant apoptosis. Moreover, western blot analysis showed that isololiolide altered the expression of proteins that are important in the apoptotic cascade, increasing PARP cleavage and p53 expression while decreasing procaspase-3 and Bcl-2 levels. CONCLUSION Isololiolide isolated from C. tamariscifolia is able to exert a selective cytotoxic activity on hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells as well as induce apoptosis through the modulation of apoptosis-related proteins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore whether MG-132 could enhance the anti-tumor activity of obatoclax against esophageal cancer cell line CaES-17. METHODS MTT assay was used to determine the cytotoxicity of obatoclax and MG-132 in CaES-17 cells. The IC(50) of obatoclax and MG-132 were used to determine the molar ratio (1:2.4) of the two drugs for combined treatment of the cells. The concentrations of obatoclax and MG-132 ranged from 1/8 IC(50) to 4 IC(50) after serial dilution, and their combination index (CI) was calculated using CompuSyn software. The expression of ubiquitin and the cleavage of PARP, caspase-9, phospho-histone H3 and phospho-aurora A/B/C in the exposed cells were examined with Western blotting; the cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry with Annexin V staining, and the percentage of cells in each cell cycle phase was also determined by flow cytometry. RESULTS The CI of obatoclax and MG-132 was 0.296 for a 50% inhibition of Caes-17 cells and was 0.104 for a 95% inhibition. The cells treated with obatoclax or MG-132 alone showed increased expression of ubiquitin and cleavage of PARP and caspase-9. Compared with the cells treated with obatoclax or MG-132 alone, the cells with a combined treatment exhibited significantly increased expression of ubiquitin, cleavage of PARP and caspase-9, and expression of phospho-Histone H3 (P<0.05). The combined treatment of the cells also resulted in significantly increased expression of phospho-Aurora A/B/C compared with obatoclax treatment alone. The cells with the combined treatment showed significantly higher percentages of apoptotic cells and cells in sub-G(1) and G(2)/M phases compared with the cells treated with either of the drugs (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Obatoclax combined with MG-132 shows a significant synergistic anti-tumor effect against esophageal cancer CaES-17 cells by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.
