PARP Goes Transcription

Abstract: PARP-1, an enzyme that catalyzes the attachment of ADP ribose units to target proteins, plays at least two important roles in transcription regulation. First, PARP-1 modifies histones and creates an anionic poly(ADPribose) matrix that binds histones, thereby promoting the decondensation of higher-order chromatin structures. Second, PARP-1 acts as a component of enhancer/promoter regulatory complexes. Recent studies have shown that both of these activities are critical for gene regulation in vivo.

“…We chose to study the effect of Atiprimod on the activation of caspase 3, the downstream 'executioner' caspase (Nicholson, 1999) manner, with the maximum effect achieved after 4 h. Furthermore, incubation of U266-B1 cells for 1 h with Atiprimod induced a dosedependent increase in caspase 3 cleavage ( Figure 6C, lower panel). Activated caspase 3 abrogates the effect of substrates that protect cellular integrity, such as the DNA-repair enzyme PARP (Nicholson, 1999;Kraus and Lis, 2003). When we exposed the cells to Atiprimod, we found a dose-dependent increase in cleaved PARP protein levels, with the maximum effect achieved at a concentration of 8 mM ( Figure 6C, lower panel).…”

“…Although originally characterized as a key factor in DNA repair pathways, a wealth of studies over the past decade have demonstrated a role for PARP-1 in the regulation of gene expression under basal, signal-activated, and stress-activated conditions [1][2][3]. Recent studies using a variety of experimental approaches have highlighted the role of PARP-1 in at least four distinct modes of transcriptional regulation (see below) and provided new insights about the cellular signaling systems that interface with PARP-1 in the nucleus.…”

“…A similar distribution pattern was observed for NF-κB p65 subunit, which is known to serve as a repressor of claudin-5 and to be PARP-dependent for its activity 32,33 ( Figure 6E). The above findings have led us to conclude that PARP is involved in opening transcriptional complexes 34 and induction of TJ protein transcription.…”

“…Anti-inflammatory effects of PARP have been documented in several in vivo and in vitro studies; 33,34,36 however, data on PARP inhibition in endothelial cells are just emerging. We selectively inhibited PARP in brain endothelium and showed that monocyte adhesion to TNFα-stimulated BMVEC and migration across BMVEC monolayers were attenuated by PARP inhibition (Figure 3).…”
