Abstract
Some chemotherapy drugs modulate the formation of stress granules (SGs), which are RNA-containing cytoplasmic foci contributing to stress response pathways. How SGs mechanistically contribute to pro-survival or pro-apoptotic functions must be better defined. The chemotherapy drug lomustine promotes SG formation by activating the stress-sensing eIF2α kinase HRI (encoded by the EIF2AK1 gene). Here, we applied a DNA microarray-based transcriptome analysis to determine the genes modulated by lomustine-induced stress and suggest roles for SGs in this process. We found that the expression of the pro-apoptotic EGR1 gene was specifically regulated in cells upon lomustine treatment. The appearance of EGR1-encoding mRNA in SGs correlated with a decrease in EGR1 mRNA translation. Specifically, EGR1 mRNA was sequestered to SGs upon lomustine treatment, probably preventing its ribosome translation and consequently limiting the degree of apoptosis. Our data support the model where SGs can selectively sequester specific mRNAs in a stress-specific manner, modulate their availability for translation, and thus determine the fate of a stressed cell.

Abstract
Cancer is a heterogeneous disease with a high degree of diversity between and within tumors. Our limited knowledge of their biology results in ineffective treatment. However, personalized approach may represent a milestone in the field of anticancer therapy. It can increase specificity of treatment against tumor initiating cancer stem cells (CSCs) and cancer progenitor cells (CPCs) with minimal effect on normal cells and tissues. Cancerous cells carry multiple genetic and epigenetic aberrations which may disrupt pathways essential for cell survival. Discovery of synthetic lethality has led a new hope of creating effective and personalized antitumor treatment. Synthetic lethality occurs when simultaneous inactivation of two genes or their products causes cell death whereas individual inactivation of either gene is not lethal. The effectiveness of numerous anti-tumor therapies depends on induction of DNA damage therefore tumor cells expressing abnormalities in genes whose products are crucial for DNA repair pathways are promising targets for synthetic lethality. Here, we discuss mechanistic aspects of synthetic lethality in the context of deficiencies in DNA double strand break repair pathways. In addition, we review clinical trials utilizing synthetic lethality interactions and discuss the mechanisms of resistance.

Abstract
The concept of combining targeted agents for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a relatively new but potentially promising area of investigation. A number of targeted agents may have limited single-agent activity but could show significant promise when used in conjunction with other types of similar compounds. Combinations of targeted agents may effectively interrupt multiple pathways in either a linear or parallel fashion. There are currently numerous combination regimens under investigation at either the preclinical or clinical levels, including histone deacetylase (HDAC) and CDK inhibitors; HDAC and proteasome inhibitors; HDAC and NF-kappaB (IKKbeta) inhibitors; CHK1 and MEK1/2 inhibitors; and BCL-2 antagonists and CDK inhibitors. Although combinations of targeted agents will not displace conventional cytotoxic regimens in AML or related disorders in the foreseeable future, these combinations clearly warrant further attention.

Abstract
Single-base lesions in DNA are repaired predominantly by base excision repair (BER). DNA polymerase beta (pol beta) is the polymerase of choice in the preferred single-nucleotide BER pathway. The characteristic phenotype of mouse fibroblasts with a deletion of the pol beta gene is moderate hypersensitivity to monofunctional alkylating agents, e.g., methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). Increased sensitivity to MMS is also seen in the absence of pol beta partner proteins XRCC1 and PARP-1, and under conditions where BER efficiency is reduced by synthetic inhibitors. PARP activity plays a major role in protection against MMS-induced cytotoxicity, and cells treated with a combination of non-toxic concentrations of MMS and a PARP inhibitor undergo cell cycle arrest and die by a Chk1-dependent apoptotic pathway. Since BER-deficient cells and tumors are similarly hypersensitive to the clinically used chemotherapeutic methylating agent temozolomide, modulation of DNA damage-induced cell signaling pathways, as well as BER, are attractive targets for potentiating chemotherapy.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is activated following binding to DNA strand breaks and is cleaved in cells undergoing apoptosis. Work predominantly in murine systems has suggested that inhibitors of PARP might potentiate the effects of chemotherapeutic agents and be used as adjuncts to cancer therapy. Therefore, we studied the role of PARP in drug-induced apoptosis in HL-60, myeloid leukaemia cells and found that pre-treatment with 3-aminobenzamide (3AB) or 6(5H)-phenanthridinone, inhibitors of PARP, resulted in resistance to, rather than potentiation of apoptotic death induced by DNA-damaging agents, idarubicin, etoposide and fludarabine, as determined by flow cytometry, following propidium iodide staining. 3AB treated CEM/VLB100, mdr-expressing human lymphoblastic leukaemia cells were also found to be more resistant to idarubicin compared to cells treated with idarubicin alone, however, apoptosis was not reduced in parental CCRF-CEM cells under the same conditions. Similar results were obtained using agents with primary modes of action which do not involve DNA damage, vinblastine and a fas-ligating antibody (CH11). The precise role of PARP has yet to be defined but might involve effects on cell cycle progression. We conclude that PARP activation appears to be involved in apoptosis in certain leukaemic cell lines and that these effects are independent of lineage or p-glycoprotein. Constitutive failure to activate PARP might be responsible for conferring resistance to apoptosis.

Abstract
Inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) inhibit repair of damaged DNA and thus potentiate radiotherapy and chemotherapy of cancer. Treatment of 3-cyanothiophene with potassium nitrate and concentrated sulphuric acid gave 5-nitrothiophene-3-carboxamide. 4-Nitrothiophene-2-carboxamide and 5-nitrothiophene-2-carboxamide were formed similarly from 2-cyanothiophene. Reduction with tin(II) chloride gave the corresponding aminothiophenecarboxamide salts which were isolated via their N-Cbz derivatives. Lithiation of 3,4-dibromothiophene at -116 degrees C and quenching with alkyl chloroformates gave 4-bromothiophene-3-carboxylates, which were hydrolysed to 4-bromothiophene-3-carboxylic acid. Hurtley reactions with the enolates of pentane-2,4-dione and of 1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione, followed by acyl cleavage, led to 4-(2-oxopropyl)thiophene-3-carboxylic acid and 4-phenacylthiophene-3-carboxylic acid, respectively. Condensation with ammonia in acetic acid gave 6-methyl- and 6-phenylthieno[3,4-c]pyridin-4-ones, which were selectively nitrated at the 1- and 7-positions or were dinitrated. Ethyl 4-acetamido- and 4-benzamido-thiophene-3-carboxylates were cyclised to 2-methyl- and 2-phenyl-thieno[3,4-d][1,3]oxazin-4-ones, respectively. Ring-opening with ammonia and recyclisation led to 2-substituted thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones. The aminothiophenecarboxamides are analogues of 3-aminobenzamide, a selective inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP); the thienopyridinones and the thienopyrimidinones are analogues of isoquinolin-1-ones and quinazolin-4-ones, respectively, which inhibit this enzyme. In preliminary assays, several thienopyridinones and thienopyrimidinones showed potent inhibitory activity against PARP.

Abstract
Oxidative and nitrosative stress can trigger DNA strand breakage, which then activates the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase (PARS). This enzyme has also been termed poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) or poly(ADP-ribose) transferase (pADPRT). Rapid activation of the enzyme depletes the intracellular concentration of its substrate, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, thus slowing the rate of glycolysis, electron transport and subsequently ATP formation. This process can result in cell dysfunction and cell death. In this article, Csaba Szabó and Valina Dawson overview the impact of pharmacological inhibition or genetic inactivation of PARS on the course of oxidant-induced cell death in vitro, and in inflammation and reperfusion injury in vivo. A major trigger for DNA damage in pathophysiological conditions is peroxynitrite, a cytotoxic oxidant formed by the reaction between the free radicals nitric oxide and superoxide. The pharmacological inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase is a novel approach for the experimental therapy of various forms of inflammation and shock, stroke, myocardial and intestinal ischaemia-reperfusion, and diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) inhibit repair of damaged DNA and thus potentiate radiotherapy and chemotherapy of cancer. 3-Substituted benzamides and 5-substituted isoquinolin-1-ones have been synthesised and evaluated for inhibition of PARP. Reduction of 3-(bromoacetyl)benzamide, followed by treatment with base, gave RS-3-oxiranylbenzamide. Reduction of 3-(hydroxyacetyl)benzonitrile with bakers' yeast gave the R-diol which was converted to R-3-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)benzamide. Similar reduction of 3-(acetoxyacetyl)benzonitrile led towards the S-diol which was converted to its cyclic acetonide. E-2-(2,6-Dicyanophenyl)-N,N-dimethylethenamine was formed by condensation of 2,6-dicyanotoluene with dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMFDMA); cyclisation under acidic conditions afforded 5-cyanoisoquinolin-1-one. Heck coupling of 5-iodoisoquinolin-1-one with propenoic acid formed E-3-(1-oxoisoquinolin-5-yl)propenoic acid. 3-Oxiranylbenzamide, 5-bromoisoquinolin-1-one and 5-iodoisoquinolin-1-one were among the most potent inhibitors of PARP activity in a preliminary screen in vitro.

Abstract
Human cells have evolved several mechanisms for responding to damage created by ionizing radiation. Some of these responses involve the activation or suppression of the transcriptional machinery. Other responses involve the downregulation of enzymes, such as topoisomerase I, which appear to be necessary for DNA repair or apoptosis. Over the past five years, many studies have established links between DNA damage, activation of transcription factors that are coupled to DNA repair mechanisms, increased gene transcription and altered cell cycle regulation to allow for repair or cell death via apoptosis or necrosis. Together these factors determine whether a cell will survive with or without carcinogenic consequences. The immediate responses of human cells to ionizing radiation, in terms of sensing and responding to damage, are therefore, critical determinants of cell survival and carcinogenesis.

Abstract
The effects of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide (4-ANI), 6(5H)-phenanthridinone (PHD), 1,5-isoquinolinediol (IQD), 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) or 4-hydroxyquinazoline (4-HYA) on the cytotoxicity of cisplatin were investigated. The human ovarian tumor cell lines SK-OV-3 and OAW 42 and the rat ovarian tumor cell line O-342 as well as its cisplatin (DDP)-resistant subline O-342/DDP were used. Cytotoxicity was determined with the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. 1-Methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) plus its respective combinations with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors served as positive controls. In addition, the alkylating agents L-threitol-1,4-bismethanesulfonate (DHB) and 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (carmustine) as well as two other DNA-repair inhibitors caffeine and theophylline were included in the investigations. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin could not be increased by 4-ANI, PHD, IQD, 4-HYA or 3-AB in any cell line investigated, while it was increased by caffeine in lines O-342/DDP and SK-OV-3 as well as by theophylline in lines O-342/DDP, SK-OV-3 and OAW 42. The cytotoxicity of MNNG was increased by combination with 4-ANI, PHD, IQD, 4-HYA, 3-AB or theophylline for all lines except OAW42; in the latter line, only 4-ANI, PHD and IQD increased MNNG cytotoxicity. The cytotoxicity of DHB was increased by 4-ANI, PHD, 4-HYA, theophylline and caffeine in line O-342/DDP; by 4-HYA, theophylline and caffeine in line SK-OV-3; and by theophylline and caffeine in line OAW42. The cytotoxicity of carmustine was increased only by 3-AB in two lines (SK-OV-3 and OAW 42). Results are discussed with regard to different DNA-repair mechanisms.

Abstract
O6-benzylguanine (O6-BG) and 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) inhibit the DNA repair proteins O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) respectively. The effect of O6-BG and/or 3-AB on temozolomide and 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-nitrosourea (BCNU) cytotoxicity, was assessed in seven human tumour cell lines: six with an AGT activity of > 80 fmol mg-1 protein (Mer+) and one with an AGT activity of < 3 fmol mg-1 protein (Mer-). Three of the Mer+ cell lines (LS174T, DLD1 and HCT116) were considered to exhibit resistance to methylation by a mismatch repair deficiency (MMR-), each being known to exhibit microsatellite instability, and DLD1 and HCT116 having well-characterised defects in DNA mismatch binding. Potentiation was defined as the ratio between an IC50 achieved without and with a particular inhibitor treatment. Temozolomide or BCNU cytotoxicity was not potentiated by either inhibitor in the Mer- cell line. Preincubation with O6-BG (100 microM for 1 h) was found to potentiate the cytotoxicity of temozolomide by 1.35- to 1.57-old in Mer+/MMR+ cells, but had no significant effect in Mer+/MMR- cells. In comparison, O6-BG pretreatment enhanced BCNU cytotoxicity by 1.94- to 2.57-fold in all Mer+ cell lines. Post-incubation with 3-AB (2 mM, 48 h) potentiated temozolomide by 1.35- to 1.59-fold in Mer+/MMR+ cells, and when combined with O6-BG pretreatment produced an effect which was at least additive, enhancing cytotoxicity by 1.97- to 2.16-fold. 3-AB treatment also produced marked potentiation (2.20- to 3.12-fold) of temozolomide cytotoxicity in Mer+/MMR- cells. In contrast, 3-AB produced marginal potentiation of BCNU cytotoxicity in only three cell lines (1.19- to 1.35-fold), and did not enhance the cytotoxicity of BCNU with O6-BG treatment in any cell line. These data suggest that the combination of an AGT and PARP inhibitor may have a therapeutic role in potentiating temozolomide activity, but that the inhibition of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation has little effect on the cytotoxicity of BCNU.

Abstract
The crystal structures of the catalytic fragment of chicken poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase [NAD+ ADP-ribosyltransferase; NAD+:poly(adenosine-diphosphate-D-ribosyl)-acceptor ADP-D-ribosyltransferase, EC 2.4.2.30] with and without a nicotinamide-analogue inhibitor have been elucidated. Because this enzyme is involved in the regulation of DNA repair, its inhibitors are of interest for cancer therapy. The inhibitor shows the nicotinamide site and also suggests the adenosine site. The enzyme is structurally related to bacterial ADP-ribosylating toxins but contains an additional alpha-helical domain that is suggested to relay the activation signal issued on binding to damaged DNA.

Abstract
Activation of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase after oxidative damage is implicated in different responses of the cells, for example, cell recovery after sublethal damage or cell death after lethal damage. However, the extent and mechanism of involvement of the enzyme in these two processes appear to be different. Inhibitors of this polymerase, such as benzamides, which do not completely inhibit PARP have been shown to protect the cells from killing by massive oxidant damage, could neither reduce the cellular recovery after mild oxidant damage nor completely inhibit DNA repair in vitro. We report here that 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline, which was earlier shown to be a strong inhibitor of this polymerase in vitro, is also its potent inhibitor in vivo. Using sensitive techniques for measuring low levels of cellular poly(ADP-ribose) polymer, we show that this inhibitor can completely abolish oxidant-induced activation of the polymerase in C3H10T1/2 cells. We show that only a minor fraction of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity is sufficient in cellular recovery after sublethal oxidant damage. We also demonstrate that cells are unable to recover from oxidant damage in the complete absence of polymerase activity.

Abstract
Four poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PADPRP) inhibitors [3-aminobenzamide, benzamide, 3,4-dihydro-5-methoxyisoquinolin-1(2H)-one (PD 128763) and 8-hydroxy-2-methylquinazolin-4(3H)-one (NU1025)] were compared with respect to their effects on a number of biological end points. The following parameters were assessed: their ability to inhibit the enzyme in permeabilised L1210 cells; their ability to potentiate the cytotoxicity of temozolomide (including the cytotoxicity of the compounds per se); their ability to increase net levels of temozolomide-induced DNA strand breaks and inhibit temozolomide-induced NAD depletion. PD 128763 and NU1025 were equipotent as PADPRP inhibitors, and 40- and 50-fold more potent than benzamide and 3-aminobenzamide respectively. All the compounds acted in a concentration-dependent manner to potentiate the cytotoxicity and increase DNA strand break levels in cells treated with temozolomide. There was an excellent correlation between the potency of the compounds as PADPRP inhibitors and their effects on cell survival and DNA repair. Temozolomide treatment caused a decrease in cellular NAD levels, and this was abolished by the PADPRP inhibitors. In conclusion, the new generation of PADPRP inhibitors are at least 50-fold more effective than 3-aminobenzamide as chemopotentiators, and can be used at micromolar rather than millimolar concentrations in intact cells.

Abstract
To investigate the origin of DNA repair in rat pleural mesothelial cells (RPMC) exposed to asbestos fibers, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activity was measured in the asbestos-treated cells. As bleomycin has been shown to activate poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis in several cell systems, the response to bleomycin with regard to PARP assay was first investigated. Bleomycin produced a dose-dependent increase of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis in RPMC. Likewise both chrysotile and crocidolite fibers produced a concentration-dependent PARP activation indicating that the formation of DNA strand breaks is one type of damage produced by asbestos in RPMC. Enhancement of DNA repair, assessed by the measurement of [3H] methylthymidine incorporation in growth arrested cells, was not detectable in the presence of 3-methoxybenzamide (3-MBA), a PARP inhibitor, confirming a relation between PARP activation and DNA repair. The participation of DNA breakage in asbestos toxicity on RPMC was determined by the colorimetric 3-4(5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. There was no relationship between DNA breakage and cytotoxicity since the use of PARP inhibitors did not change cell viability. These results indicate that asbestos produce DNA damage that is repaired in RPMC.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) plays an important role in a number of cellular processes including DNA repair. Since poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation occurs in response to radiation- or drug-induced DNA damage, inhibitors of the enzyme may enhance the antitumour activity of radiotherapy or cytotoxic drug treatment. In this review the development of PARP inhibitors is discussed, and structure-activity relationships amongst inhibitors of the enzyme are presented. Studies to date regarding the in vitro and in vivo activity of PARP inhibitors, as resistance modifying agents in cancer therapy, are also overviewed.
