Abstract
Recent work has demonstrated the production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in the vasculature of aging animals. Oxidant induced cell injury triggers the activation of nuclear enzyme poly(ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP) leading to endothelial dysfunction in various pathophysiological conditions (reperfusion, shock, diabetes). Here we studied whether the loss of endothelial function in aging rats is dependent upon the PARP pathway within the vasculature. Young (3 months-old) and aging (22 months-old) Wistar rats were treated for 2 months with vehicle or the PARP inhibitor PJ34. In the vehicle-treated aging animals there was a significant loss of endothelial function, as measured by the relaxant responsiveness of vascular rings to acetylcholine. Treatment with PJ34, a potent PARP inhibitor, restored normal endothelial function. There was no impairment of the contractile function and endothelium-independent vasodilatation in aging rats. Furthermore, we found no deterioration in the myocardial contractile function in aging animals. Thus, intraendothelial PARP activation may contribute to endothelial dysfunction associated with aging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The activation of poly (ADP-ribose) synthetase plays an important role in the pathogenesis leading to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. The aim of this study was to determine if a novel potent inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) synthetase, PJ34, provides myocardial protection. METHODS Pigs were subjected to 60 minutes of regional ischemia followed by 180 minutes of reperfusion. Ten mg/kg of PJ34 (PJ34; n = 6) was administrated intravenously (treated group) from 15 to 5 minutes before reperfusion followed by 3 mg/kg/hour of PJ34 from 5 minutes before reperfusion to the end of 180 minutes reperfusion. Control pigs (n = 7) received vehicle only. Arterial and left ventricular pressure and coronary flow were monitored. RESULTS The PJ34 showed significant reduction on infarct size (37.5%+/-4.5% and 50.5%+/-4.8% of the area at risk) for PJ34 and control pigs groups, respectively, (p < 0.05). Significant reduction in postsystolic shortening, as well as improvement on segment shortening, and positive first derivative of pressure over time (+dP/dt) maximum were also observed in PJ34 versus control pigs (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that PJ34 provides cardioprotection by decreasing myocardial infarct size and enhancing postischemic regional and global functional recovery.

Abstract
Patients with diabetes exhibit a high incidence of diabetic cardiomyopathy and vascular complications, which underlie the development of retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy and increase the risk of hypertension, stroke, and myocardial infarction. There is emerging evidence that the activation of the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) importantly contributes to the development of endothelial dysfunction in a streptozotocin-induced model of diabetes. We investigated the role of PARP activation in the pathogenesis of cardiac dysfunction in streptozotocin-induced and genetic (nonobese diabetic) models of diabetes in rats and mice. Development of diabetes was accompanied by hyperglycemia, cardiac PARP activation, a selective loss of endothelium-dependent vasodilation in the thoracic aorta, and an early diastolic dysfunction of the heart. Treatment with a novel potent phenanthridinone-based PARP inhibitor, PJ34, starting 1 week after the onset of diabetes, restored normal vascular responsiveness and significantly improved cardiac dysfunction, despite the persistence of severe hyperglycemia. The beneficial effect of PARP inhibition persisted even after several weeks of discontinuation of the treatment. Thus, PARP activation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiovascular (cardiac as well as endothelial) dysfunction. PARP inhibitors may exert beneficial effects against the development of cardiovascular complications in diabetes.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) are defined as cell signaling enzymes that catalyze the transfer of ADP-ribose units from NAD(+)to a number of acceptor proteins. PARP-1, the best characterized member of the PARP family, that presently includes six members, is an abundant nuclear enzyme implicated in cellular responses to DNA injury provoked by genotoxic stress (oxygen radicals, ionizing radiations and monofunctional alkylating agents). Due to its involvement either in DNA repair or in cell death, PARP-1 is regarded as a double-edged regulator of cellular functions. In fact, when the DNA damage is moderate, PARP-1 participates in the DNA repair process. Conversely, in the case of massive DNA injury, elevated PARP-1 activation leads to rapid NAD(+)/ATP consumption and cell death by necrosis. Excessive PARP-1 activity has been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous clinical conditions such as stroke, myocardial infarction, shock, diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders. PARP-1 could therefore be considered as a potential target for the development of pharmacological strategies to enhance the antitumor efficacy of radio- and chemotherapy or to treat a number of clinical conditions characterized by oxidative or NO-induced stress and consequent PARP-1 activation. Moreover, the discovery of novel functions for the multiple members of the PARP family might lead in the future to additional clinical indications for PARP inhibitors.

Abstract
The present study assessed the role of PARP [poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase] activation in experimental pneumococcal meningitis. Mice with a targeted disruption of the PARP 1 gene were protected against meningitis-associated central nervous system complications including blood-brain barrier breaching and increase in intracranial pressure. This beneficial effect was paralleled by a significant reduction in meningeal inflammation, as evidenced by significantly lower cerebrospinal fluid leukocyte counts and interleukin-1beta, -6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha concentrations in the brain (compared with infected wild-type mice). The reduction in inflammation and central nervous system complications was associated with an improved clinical status of infected, PARP 1-deficient mice. A similar protective effect was achieved by PARP inhibition using 3-aminobenzamide, the pharmacologic efficacy of which was confirmed by a marked attenuation of meningitis-induced poly(ADP)ribose formation. When the rat brain-derived endothelial cell line GP8.3 was cocultured with macrophages, exposure to pneumococci induced endothelial cell death and was paralleled by PARP activation and a reduction in the oxidized form of cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide content. Treatment with 3-aminobenzamide significantly attenuated cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide depletion and pneumococci-induced cytotoxicity. Thus, PARP activation seems to play a crucial role in the development of meningitis-associated central nervous system complications and pneumococci-induced endothelial injury. Inhibitors of PARP activation could provide a potential therapy of acute bacterial meningitis.

Abstract
Excitotoxic brain lesions initially result in the primary destruction of brain parenchyma, after which microglial cells migrate towards the sites of injury. At these sites, the cells produce large quantities of oxygen radicals and cause secondary damage that accounts for most of the loss of brain function. Here we show that this microglial migration is strongly controlled in living brain tissue by expression of the integrin CD11a, regulated by the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) through the formation of a nuclear PARP-NF-kappaB-protein complex. Downregulation of PARP or CD11a by transfection with antisense DNA abrogated microglial migration almost completely and prevented neurons from secondary damage.

Abstract
This study investigates the effects of a novel, water-soluble inhibitor of the activity of poly (adenosine 5'-diphosphate ribose) polymerase, 5-aminoisoquinolinone [5-aminoisoquinolin-1(2H)-one], on (i) poly (adenosine 5'-diphosphate ribose) polymerase activity in rat cardiac myoblasts and (ii) the infarct size caused by regional myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion in the rat. Exposure of H9c2 cells to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, 1 mM) caused a significant increase in poly (adenosine 5'-diphosphate ribose) polymerase activity and an 80-90% reduction in mitochondrial respiration (cellular injury). Pretreatment of these cells with 5-aminoisoquinolinone (0.003-1 mM) caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of poly (adenosine 5'-diphosphate ribose) polymerase activity (IC50: approximately 4.5 microM, n=6-9) and cell injury (EC50: approximately 4.45 microM, n=9). In a rat model of myocardial infarction, left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion (25 min) and reperfusion (2 h) resulted in an infarct size of 50+/-3%. Administration (1 min before reperfusion) of 5-aminoisoquinolinone reduced myocardial infarct size in a dose-related fashion. Thus, 5-aminoisoquinolinone is a potent inhibitor of poly (adenosine 5'-diphosphate ribose) polymerase activity in cardiac myoblasts and reduces myocardial infarct size in vivo.

Abstract
During apoptosis, endonucleases cleave DNA into 50-300-kb fragments and subsequently into internucleosomal fragments. DNA fragmentation factor (DFF) is implicated in apoptotic DNA cleavage; this factor comprises DFF45 and DFF40 subunits, the former of which acts as a chaperone and inhibitor of the catalytic subunit and whose cleavage by caspase-3 results in DFF activation. Disruption of the DFF45 gene blocks internucleosomal DNA fragmentation and confers resistance to apoptosis in primary thymocytes. The role of DFF-mediated DNA fragmentation in apoptosis was investigated in primary fibroblasts from DFF45(-/-) and control (DFF45(+/+)) mice. DFF45 deficiency rendered fibroblasts resistant to apoptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF). TNF induced rapid cleavage of DNA into approximately 50-kb fragments in DFF45(+/+) fibroblasts but not in DFF45(-/-) cells, indicating that DFF mediates this initial step in DNA processing. The TNF-induced activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), which requires PARP binding to DNA strand breaks, and the consequent depletion of the PARP substrate NAD were markedly delayed in DFF45(-/-) cells, suggesting a role for DFF in PARP activation. The activation of caspase-3 and mitochondrial events important in apoptotic signaling, including the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c, induced by TNF were similarly delayed in DFF45(-/-) fibroblasts. DFF45(-/-) and DFF45(+/+) cells were equally sensitive to the DNA-damaging agent and PARP activator N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. Inhibition of PARP by 3-aminobenzamide partially protected DFF45(+/+) cells against TNF-induced death and inhibited the associated release of cytochrome c and activation of caspase-3. These results suggest that the generation of 50-kb DNA fragments by DFF, together with the activation of PARP, mitochondrial dysfunction, and caspase-3 activation, contributes to an amplification loop in the death process.

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
1. Recent studies demonstrated that inhibition or genetic inactivation of the enzyme poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is beneficial in myocardial reperfusion injury. PARP activation in the reperfused myocardium has been assumed, but not directly demonstrated. Furthermore, the issue whether pharmacological PARP inhibition affords long-term functional benefit in the reperfused myocardium has not been explored. These questions were addressed in the present study. 2. In a rat model of myocardial ischemia (1 h) and reperfusion (up to 24 h), there was a marked and significant activation of PARP in the ischemic borderzone, as determined by poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) immunohistochemistry. PAR localized to the nuclei of myocytes and infiltrating mononuclear cells. In the core of the infarction, necrotic tissues and diffuse PAR staining were observed. PARP activation remained markedly detectable 24 h after reperfusion. The PARP inhibitor 3-aminobenzamide (20 mg kg(-1) intraperitoneally 10 min before reperfusion, and every 2 h thereafter for 6 h) markedly reduced the activation of the enzyme in myocytes. 3. 3-aminobenzamide significantly protected against myocardial morphological and functional alterations at 24 h post-reperfusion. Notably, infarct size was reduced, circulating creatine kinase activity was attenuated, and myocardial contractility (dP dt(-1)) was restored by 3-aminobenzamide. 4. Our results demonstrate a significant and prolonged activation of PARP in the reperfused myocardium, localizing to the necrotic area and the ischaemic borderzone. Furthermore, the studies demonstrate that PARP inhibition affords long-term beneficial morphological and functional effects in the reperfused myocardium. These data strengthen the notion that pharmacological PARP inhibition is a viable novel experimental approach for protection against myocardial reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a nuclear enzyme, activated by DNA strand breaks to participate in DNA repair. Overactivation of PARP by cellular insults depletes its substrate NAD(+) and then ATP, leading to a major energy deficit and cell death. This mechanism appears to be prominent in vascular stroke and other neurodegenerative processes in which PARP gene deletion and PARP-inhibiting drugs provide major protection. Cell death associated with PARP-1 overactivation appears to be predominantly necrotic while apoptosis is associated with PARP-1 cleavage, which may conserve energy needed for the apoptotic process. Novel forms of PARP derived from distinct genes and lacking classic DNA-binding domains may have nonnuclear functions, perhaps linked to cellular energy dynamics.
