Abstract
DNA strand breaks activate Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) 1 and 2, which use NAD+ as the substrate to covalently conjugate ADP-ribose on themselves and other proteins (e.g., Histone) to promote chromatin relaxation and recruit additional DNA repair factors. Enzymatic inhibitors of PARP1 and PARP2 (PARPi) are promising cancer therapy agents that selectively target BRCA1- or BRCA2- deficient cancers. As immediate early responders to DNA strand breaks with robust activities, PARP1 and PARP2 normally form transient foci (<10 minutes) at the micro-irradiation-induced DNA lesions. In addition to enzymatic inhibition, PARPi also extend the presence of PARP1 and PARP2 at DNA lesions, including at replication forks, where they may post a physical block for subsequent repair and DNA replication. The dynamic nature of PARP1 and PARP2 foci made live cell imaging a unique platform to detect subtle changes and the functional interaction among PARP1, PARP2, and their regulators. Recent imaging studies have provided new understandings of the biological consequence of PARP inhibition and uncovered functional interactions between PARP1 and PARP2 and new regulators (e.g., histone poly(ADP-ribosylation) factor). Here, we review recent advances in dissecting the temporal and spatial Regulation of PARP1 and PARP2 at DNA lesions and discuss their physiological implications on both cancer and normal cells.

Abstract
DNA repair is directly performed by hundreds of core factors and indirectly regulated by thousands of others. We massively expanded a CRISPR inhibition and Cas9-editing screening system to discover factors indirectly modulating homology-directed repair (HDR) in the context of ∼18,000 individual gene knockdowns. We focused on CCAR1, a poorly understood gene that we found the depletion of reduced both HDR and interstrand crosslink repair, phenocopying the loss of the Fanconi anemia pathway. CCAR1 loss abrogated FANCA protein without substantial reduction in the level of its mRNA or that of other FA genes. We instead found that CCAR1 prevents inclusion of a poison exon in FANCA. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the CCAR1 splicing modulatory activity is not limited to FANCA, and it instead regulates widespread changes in alternative splicing that would damage coding sequences in mouse and human cells. CCAR1 therefore has an unanticipated function as a splicing fidelity factor.

Abstract
The drug floxuridine (5-fluorodeoxyuridine, FUdR) is an active metabolite of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU). It converts to 5-fluorodeoxyuridine monophosphate (FdUMP) and 5-fluorodeoxyuridine triphosphate (FdUTP), which on incorporation into the genome inhibits DNA replication. Additionally, it inhibits thymidylate synthase, causing dTMP shortage while increasing dUMP availability, which induces uracil incorporation into the genome. However, the mechanisms underlying cellular tolerance to FUdR are yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, we explored the mechanisms underlying cellular resistance to FUdR by screening for FUdR hypersensitive mutants from a collection of DT40 mutants deficient in each genomic maintenance system. We identified REV3, which is involved in translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), to be a critical factor in FUdR tolerance. Replication using a FUdR-damaged template was attenuated in REV3-/- cells, indicating that the TLS function of REV3 is required to maintain replication on the FUdR-damaged template. Notably, FUdR-exposed REV3-/- cells exhibited defective cell cycle arrest in the early S phase, suggesting that REV3 is involved in intra-S checkpoint activation. Furthermore, REV3-/- cells showed defects in Chk1 phosphorylation, which is required for checkpoint activation, but the survival of FUdR-exposed REV3-/- cells was further reduced by the inhibition of Chk1 or ATR. These data indicate that REV3 mediates DNA checkpoint activation at least through Chk1 phosphorylation, but this signal acts in parallel with ATR-Chk1 DNA damage checkpoint pathway. Collectively, we reveal a previously unappreciated role of REV3 in FUdR tolerance.

Abstract
Temozolomide (TMZ) is a methylating agent used as the first-line drug in the chemotherapy of glioblastomas. However, cancer cells eventually acquire resistance, necessitating the development of TMZ-potentiating therapy agents. TMZ induces several DNA base adducts, including O 6 -meG, 3-meA, and 7-meG. TMZ cytotoxicity stems from the ability of these adducts to directly (3-meA) or indirectly (O 6 -meG) impair DNA replication. Although TMZ toxicity is generally attributed to O 6 -meG, other alkylated bases can be similarly important depending on the status of various DNA repair pathways of the treated cells. In this mini-review we emphasize the necessity to distinguish TMZ-sensitive glioblastomas, which do not express methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) and are killed by the futile cycle of mismatch repair (MMR) of the O 6 -meG/T pairs, vs. TMZ-resistant MGMT-positive or MMR-negative glioblastomas, which are selected in the course of the treatment and are killed only at higher TMZ doses by the replication-blocking 3-meA. These two types of cells can be TMZ-sensitized by inhibiting different DNA repair pathways. However, in both cases, the toxic intermediates appear to be ssDNA gaps, a vulnerability also seen in BRCA-deficient cancers. PARP inhibitors (PARPi), which were initially developed to treat BRCA1/2-deficient cancers by synthetic lethality, were re-purposed in clinical trials to potentiate the effects of TMZ. We discuss how the recent advances in our understanding of the genetic determinants of TMZ toxicity might lead to new approaches for the treatment of glioblastomas by inhibiting PARP1 and other enzymes involved in the repair of alkylation damage (e.g., APE1).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Macrophage-mediated cleaning up of dead cells is a crucial determinant in reducing coronary artery inflammation and maintaining vascular homeostasis. However, this process also leads to programmed death of macrophages. So far, the role of macrophage death in the progression of atherosclerosis remains controversial. Also, the underlying mechanism by which transcriptional regulation and reprogramming triggered by macrophage death pathways lead to changes in vascular inflammation and remodeling are still largely unknown. TRIM25-mediated RIG-I signaling plays a key role in regulation of macrophages fate, however the role of TRIM25 in macrophage death-mediated atherosclerotic progression remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the relationship between TRIM25 and macrophage death in atherosclerosis. METHODS A total of 34 blood samples of patients with coronary stent implantation, including chronic total occlusion (CTO) leisions (n = 14) or with more than 50% stenosis of a coronary artery but without CTO leisions (n = 20), were collected, and the serum level of TRIM25 was detected by ELISA. Apoe-/- mice with or without TRIM25 gene deletion were fed with the high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks and the plaque areas, necrotic core size, aortic fibrosis and inflammation were investigated. TRIM25 wild-type and deficient macrophages were isolated, cultured and stimulated with ox-LDL, RNA-seq, real-time PCR, western blot and FACS experiments were used to screen and validate signaling pathways caused by TRIM25 deletion. RESULTS Downregulation of TRIM25 was observed in circulating blood of CTO patients and also in HFD-induced mouse aortas. After HFD for 12 weeks, TRIM25-/-ApoeE-/- mice developed smaller atherosclerotic plaques, less inflammation, lower collagen content and aortic fibrosis compared with TRIM25+/+ApoeE-/- mice. By RNA-seq and KEGG enrichment analysis, we revealed that deletion of TRIM25 mainly affected pyroptosis and necroptosis pathways in ox-LDL-induced macrophages, and the expressions of PARP1 and RIPK3, were significantly decreased in TRIM25 deficient macrophages. Overexpression of TRIM25 promoted M1 polarization and necroptosis of macrophages, while inhibition of PARP1 reversed this process. Further, we observed that XRCC1, a repairer of DNA damage, was significantly upregulated in TRIM25 deficient macrophages, inhibiting PARP1 activity and PARP1-mediated pro-inflammatory change, M1 polarization and necroptosis of macrophages. By contrast, TRIM25 overexpression mediated ubiquitination of XRCC1, and the inhibition of XRCC1 released PARP1, and activated macrophage M1 polarization and necroptosis, which accelerated aortic inflammation and atherosclerotic plaque progression. CONCLUSIONS Our study has uncovered a crucial role of the TRIM25-XRCC1Ub-PARP1-RIPK3 axis in regulating macrophage death during atherosclerosis, and we highlight the potential therapeutic significance of macrophage reprogramming regulation in preventing the development of atherosclerosis.

Histone ADP-ribosylation promotes resistance to PARP inhibitors by facilitating PARP1 release from DNA lesions. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2024; 121:e2322689121.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) has emerged as a central target for cancer therapies due to the ability of PARP inhibitors to specifically kill tumors deficient for DNA repair by homologous recombination. Upon DNA damage, PARP1 quickly binds to DNA breaks and triggers ADP-ribosylation signaling. ADP-ribosylation is important for the recruitment of various factors to sites of damage, as well as for the timely dissociation of PARP1 from DNA breaks. Indeed, PARP1 becomes trapped at DNA breaks in the presence of PARP inhibitors, a mechanism underlying the cytotoxitiy of these inhibitors. Therefore, any cellular process influencing trapping is thought to impact PARP inhibitor efficiency, potentially leading to acquired resistance in patients treated with these drugs. There are numerous ADP-ribosylation targets after DNA damage, including PARP1 itself as well as histones. While recent findings reported that the automodification of PARP1 promotes its release from the DNA lesions, the potential impact of other ADP-ribosylated proteins on this process remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that histone ADP-ribosylation is also crucial for the timely dissipation of PARP1 from the lesions, thus contributing to cellular resistance to PARP inhibitors. Considering the crosstalk between ADP-ribosylation and other histone marks, our findings open interesting perspectives for the development of more efficient PARP inhibitor-driven cancer therapies.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPis) not only suppress PARP1 catalytic activity but also prolong its association to damaged chromatin. Here, through live-cell imaging, we quantify the alterations in PARP1 dynamics and activity elicited by seven PARPis over a wide range of concentrations to deliver a unified mechanism of PARPi-induced PARP1 chromatin retention. We find that gross PARP1 retention at DNA damage sites is jointly governed by catalytic inhibition and allosteric trapping, albeit in a strictly independent manner-catalytic inhibition causes multiple unproductive binding-dissociation cycles of PARP1, while allosteric trapping prolongs the lesion-bound state of PARP1 to greatly increase overall retention. Importantly, stronger PARP1 retention produces greater temporal shifts in downstream DNA repair events and superior cytotoxicity, highlighting PARP1 retention, a complex but precisely quantifiable characteristic of PARPis, as a valuable biomarker for PARPi efficacy. Our approach can be promptly repurposed for interrogating the properties of DNA-repair-targeting compounds beyond PARPis.

Abstract
The tumour-suppressive roles of BRCA1 and 2 have been attributed to three seemingly distinct functions - homologous recombination, replication fork protection, and single-stranded (ss)DNA gap suppression - and their relative importance is under debate. In this review, we examine the origin and resolution of ssDNA gaps and discuss the recent advances in understanding the role of BRCA1/2 in gap suppression. There are ample data showing that gap accumulation in BRCA1/2-deficient cells is linked to genomic instability and chemosensitivity. However, it remains unclear whether there is a causative role and the function of BRCA1/2 in gap suppression cannot unambiguously be dissected from their other functions. We therefore conclude that the three functions of BRCA1 and 2 are closely intertwined and not mutually exclusive.

Abstract
Poly-ADP-ribose polymerases 1 and 2 (PARP1 and PARP2) are crucial sensors of DNA-strand breaks and emerging cancer therapy targets. Once activated by DNA breaks, PARP1 and PARP2 generate poly-ADP-ribose (PAR) chains on themselves and other substrates to promote DNA single-strand break repair (SSBR). PARP1 can be activated by diverse DNA lesions, whereas PARP2 specifically recognizes 5' phosphorylated nicks. They can be activated independently and provide mutual backup in the absence of the other. However, whether PARP1 and PARP2 have synergistic functions in DNA damage response remains elusive. Here, we show that PARP1 and the PAR chains generated by PARP1 recruit PARP2 to the vicinity of DNA damage sites through the scaffold protein XRCC1. Using quantitative live-cell imaging, we found that loss of XRCC1 markedly reduces irradiation-induced PARP2 foci in PARP1-proficient cells. The central BRCT domain (BRCT1) of XRCC1 binds to the PAR chain, while the C-terminal BRCT domain (BRCT2) of XRCC1 interacts with the catalytic domain of PARP2, facilitating its localization near the breaks. Together, these findings unveil a new function of XRCC1 in augmenting PARP2 recruitment in response to PARP1 activation and explain why PARP1, but not PARP2, is aggregated and hyperactivated in XRCC1-deficient cells.

Abstract
The S-phase checkpoint involving CHK1 is essential for fork stability in response to fork stalling. PARP1 acts as a sensor of replication stress and is required for CHK1 activation. However, it is unclear how the activity of PARP1 is regulated. Here, we found that UFMylation is required for the efficient activation of CHK1 by UFMylating PARP1 at K548 during replication stress. Inactivation of UFL1, the E3 enzyme essential for UFMylation, delayed CHK1 activation and inhibits nascent DNA degradation during replication blockage as seen in PARP1-deficient cells. An in vitro study indicated that PARP1 is UFMylated at K548, which enhances its catalytic activity. Correspondingly, a PARP1 UFMylation-deficient mutant (K548R) and pathogenic mutant (F553L) compromised CHK1 activation, the restart of stalled replication forks following replication blockage, and chromosome stability. Defective PARP1 UFMylation also resulted in excessive nascent DNA degradation at stalled replication forks. Finally, we observed that PARP1 UFMylation-deficient knock-in mice exhibited increased sensitivity to replication stress caused by anticancer treatments. Thus, we demonstrate that PARP1 UFMylation promotes CHK1 activation and replication fork stability during replication stress, thus safeguarding genome integrity.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose)ylation or PARylation by PAR polymerase 1 (PARP1) and dePARylation by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) are equally important for the dynamic regulation of DNA damage response. PARG, the most active dePARylation enzyme, is recruited to sites of DNA damage via pADPr-dependent and PCNA-dependent mechanisms. Targeting dePARylation is considered an alternative strategy to overcome PARP inhibitor resistance. However, precisely how dePARylation functions in normal unperturbed cells remains elusive. To address this challenge, we conducted multiple CRISPR screens and revealed that dePARylation of S phase pADPr by PARG is essential for cell viability. Loss of dePARylation activity initially induced S-phase-specific pADPr signaling, which resulted from unligated Okazaki fragments and eventually led to uncontrolled pADPr accumulation and PARP1/2-dependent cytotoxicity. Moreover, we demonstrated that proteins involved in Okazaki fragment ligation and/or base excision repair regulate pADPr signaling and cell death induced by PARG inhibition. In addition, we determined that PARG expression is critical for cellular sensitivity to PARG inhibition. Additionally, we revealed that PARG is essential for cell survival by suppressing pADPr. Collectively, our data not only identify an essential role for PARG in normal proliferating cells but also provide a potential biomarker for the further development of PARG inhibitors in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Born as an endosymbiont, the bacteria engulfed by the proto-eukaryotic cell more than 1.45 billion years ago progressively evolved as an important organelle with multiple interactions with the host cell. In particular, strong connections between mitochondria and the chromosome ends, the telomeres, led to propose a new theory of ageing in which dysfunctional telomeres and mitochondria are the main actors of a vicious circle reducing cell fitness and promoting cellular ageing. We review the evidences that oxidative stress and dysfunctional mitochondria damage telomeres and further discuss the interrelationship between telomere biology and mitochondria through the lens of telomerase which shuttles between the nucleus and mitochondria. Finally, we elaborate on the possible role of the mitochondrial genome on the inheritance of human telomere length through the expression of mitochondrial gene variants.

Abstract
The effectiveness of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) in creating single-stranded DNA gaps and inducing sensitivity requires the FANCJ DNA helicase. Yet, how FANCJ relates to PARP1 inhibition or trapping, which contribute to PARPi toxicity, remains unclear. Here, we find PARPi effectiveness hinges on S-phase PARP1 activity, which is reduced in FANCJ deficient cells as G-quadruplexes sequester PARP1 and MSH2. Additionally, loss of the FANCJ-MLH1 interaction diminishes PARP1 activity; however, depleting MSH2 reinstates PARPi sensitivity and gaps. Indicating sequestered and trapped PARP1 are distinct, FANCJ loss increases PARPi resistance in cells susceptible to PARP1 trapping. However, with BRCA1 deficiency, the loss of FANCJ mirrors PARP1 loss or inhibition, with the detrimental commonality being loss of S-phase PARP1 activity. These insights underline the crucial role of PARP1 activity during DNA replication in BRCA1 deficient cells and emphasize the importance of understanding drug mechanisms for enhancing therapeutic response.

Abstract
DNA damage repair (DDR) genes are known to be closely associated with the progression of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here we report a unique cluster of "deletion-up" genes in HCC, which are accordantly overexpressed in HCC patients and predict the unfavorable prognosis. Binding motif analysis and further validation with ChIP-qPCR unveil that the AP-2α directly modulate the transcription of critical DNA repair genes including TOP2A, NUDT1, POLD1, and PARP1, which facilitates the sanitation of oxidized DNA lesions. Structural analysis and the following validation identify LEI110 as a potent AP-2α inhibitor. Together, we demonstrate that LEI110 stabilizes AP-2α and sensitizes HCC cells toward DNA-damaging reagents. Altogether, we identify AP-2α as a crucial transcription modulator in HCC and propose small-molecule inhibitors targeting AP-2α are a promising novel class of anticancer agents. Our study provides insights into the concept of macroscopic inhibition of DNA damage repair-related genes in cancer treatment.

Abstract
PARP1&2 enzymatic inhibitors (PARPi) are promising cancer treatments. But recently, their use has been hindered by unexplained severe anemia and treatment-related leukemia. In addition to enzymatic inhibition, PARPi also trap PARP1&2 at DNA lesions. Here, we report that unlike Parp2 -/- mice, which develop normally, mice expressing catalytically-inactive Parp2 (E534A, Parp2 EA/EA ) succumb to Tp53- and Chk2 -dependent erythropoietic failure in utero , mirroring Lig1 -/- mice. While DNA damage mainly activates PARP1, we demonstrate that DNA replication activates PARP2 robustly. PARP2 is selectively recruited and activated by 5'-phosphorylated nicks (5'p-nicks) between Okazaki fragments, typically resolved by Lig1. Inactive PARP2, but not its active form or absence, impedes Lig1- and Lig3-mediated ligation, causing dose-dependent replication fork collapse, particularly harmful to erythroblasts with ultra-fast forks. This PARylation-dependent structural function of PARP2 at 5'p-nicks explains the detrimental effects of PARP2 inhibition on erythropoiesis, revealing the mechanism behind the PARPi-induced anemia and leukemia, especially those with TP53/CHK2 loss. Significance This work shows that the hematological toxicities associated with PARP inhibitors stem not from impaired PARP1 or PARP2 enzymatic activity but rather from the presence of inactive PARP2 protein. Mechanistically, these toxicities reflect a unique role of PARP2 at 5'-phosphorylated DNA nicks during DNA replication in erythroblasts.

Abstract
Endometrial carcinoma's (EC) etiology is complex and involves DNA repair gene polymorphisms like XRCC1-Arg399Gln and hOGG1-Ser326Cys, but their association with the disease is unclear. Following PRISMA, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, collecting data from four databases. The studies needed to be population-based case-control studies examining the association between the named polymorphisms and EC. Quality was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Pooled odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated, and subgroup analyses were conducted based on ethnicity. Seven studies were included. Both polymorphisms were found to significantly increase EC risk, particularly in Caucasians. XRCC1-Arg399Gln showed a dominant model OR of 1.14 (95% CI: 1.01-1.29) and a homozygous model OR of 1.59 (95% CI: 1.12-2.25). The heterozygote model OR for hOGG1-Ser326Cys was 1.29 (95% CI: 1.02-1.63), and the allele OR was 1.31 (95% CI: 1.07-1.60). XRCC1-Arg399Gln and hOGG1-Ser326Cys may increase EC risk, primarily in Caucasian women, emphasizing the role of DNA repair in disease susceptibility. More extensive studies are needed to validate these findings in diverse ethnicities and investigate other DNA repair gene polymorphisms.

Abstract
Alterations in DNA damage response (DDR) and related genes are present in up to 25% of advanced prostate cancers (PCa). Most frequently altered genes are involved in the homologous recombination repair, the Fanconi anemia, and the mismatch repair pathways, and their deficiencies lead to a highly heterogeneous spectrum of DDR-deficient phenotypes. More than half of these alterations concern non- BRCA DDR genes. From a therapeutic perspective, poly-ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors have demonstrated robust clinical efficacy in tumors with BRCA2 and BRCA1 alterations. Mismatch repair-deficient PCa, and a subset of CDK12-deficient PCa, are vulnerable to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Emerging data point to the efficacy of ATR inhibitors in PCa with ATM deficiencies. Still, therapeutic implications are insufficiently clarified for most of the non- BRCA DDR alterations, and no successful targeted treatment options have been established.

Abstract
AP endonuclease-1/Redox factor-1 (APE1/Ref-1 or Ref-1) is a multifunctional protein that is overexpressed in most aggressive cancers and impacts various cancer cell signaling pathways. Ref-1's redox activity plays a significant role in activating transcription factors (TFs) such as NFκB, HIF1α, STAT3 and AP-1, which are crucial contributors to the development of tumors and metastatic growth. Therefore, development of potent, selective inhibitors to target Ref-1 redox function is an appealing approach for therapeutic intervention. A first-generation compound, APX3330 successfully completed phase I clinical trial in adults with progressing solid tumors with favorable response rate, pharmacokinetics (PK), and minimal toxicity. These positive results prompted us to develop more potent analogs of APX3330 to effectively target Ref-1 in solid tumors. In this study, we present structure-activity relationship (SAR) identification and validation of lead compounds that exhibit a greater potency and a similar or better safety profile to APX3330. In order to triage and characterize the most potent and on-target second-generation Ref-1 redox inhibitors, we assayed for PK, mouse and human S9 fraction metabolic stability, in silico ADMET properties, ligand-based WaterLOGSY NMR measurements, pharmacodynamic markers, cell viability in multiple cancer cell types, and two distinct 3-dimensional (3D) cell killing assays (Tumor-Microenvironment on a Chip and 3D spheroid). To characterize the effects of Ref-1 inhibition in vivo, global proteomics was used following treatment with the top four analogs. This study identified and characterized more potent inhibitors of Ref-1 redox function (that outperformed APX3330 by 5-10-fold) with PK studies demonstrating efficacious doses for translation to clinic.

Abstract
Cells are constantly exposed to various sources of DNA damage that pose a threat to their genomic integrity. One of the most common types of DNA breaks are single-strand breaks (SSBs). Mutations in the repair proteins that are important for repairing SSBs have been reported in several neurological disorders. While several tools have been utilised to investigate SSBs in cells, it was only through recent advances in genomics that we are now beginning to understand the architecture of the non-random distribution of SSBs and their impact on key cellular processes such as transcription and epigenetic remodelling. Here, we discuss our current understanding of the genome-wide distribution of SSBs, their link to neurological disorders and summarise recent technologies to investigate SSBs at the genomic level.

Abstract
The blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus, is the largest animal known to have ever existed, making it an important case study in longevity and resistance to cancer. To further this and other blue whale-related research, we report a reference-quality, long-read-based genome assembly of this fascinating species. We assembled the genome from PacBio long reads and utilized Illumina/10×, optical maps, and Hi-C data for scaffolding, polishing, and manual curation. We also provided long read RNA-seq data to facilitate the annotation of the assembly by NCBI and Ensembl. Additionally, we annotated both haplotypes using TOGA and measured the genome size by flow cytometry. We then compared the blue whale genome with other cetaceans and artiodactyls, including vaquita (Phocoena sinus), the world's smallest cetacean, to investigate blue whale's unique biological traits. We found a dramatic amplification of several genes in the blue whale genome resulting from a recent burst in segmental duplications, though the possible connection between this amplification and giant body size requires further study. We also discovered sites in the insulin-like growth factor-1 gene correlated with body size in cetaceans. Finally, using our assembly to examine the heterozygosity and historical demography of Pacific and Atlantic blue whale populations, we found that the genomes of both populations are highly heterozygous and that their genetic isolation dates to the last interglacial period. Taken together, these results indicate how a high-quality, annotated blue whale genome will serve as an important resource for biology, evolution, and conservation research.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose)ylation or PARylation by PAR polymerase 1 (PARP1) and dePARylation by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) are equally important for the dynamic regulation of DNA damage response. PARG, the most active dePARylation enzyme, is recruited to sites of DNA damage via pADPr-dependent and PCNA-dependent mechanisms. Targeting dePARylation is considered an alternative strategy to overcome PARP inhibitor resistance. However, precisely how dePARylation functions in normal unperturbed cells remains elusive. To address this challenge, we conducted multiple CRISPR screens and revealed that dePARylation of S phase pADPr by PARG is essential for cell viability. Loss of dePARylation activity initially induced S phase-specific pADPr signaling, which resulted from unligated Okazaki fragments and eventually led to uncontrolled pADPr accumulation and PARP1/2-dependent cytotoxicity. Moreover, we demonstrated that proteins involved in Okazaki fragment ligation and/or base excision repair regulate pADPr signaling and cell death induced by PARG inhibition. In addition, we determined that PARG expression is critical for cellular sensitivity to PARG inhibition. Additionally, we revealed that PARG is essential for cell survival by suppressing pADPr. Collectively, our data not only identify an essential role for PARG in normal proliferating cells but also provide a potential biomarker for the further development of PARG inhibitors in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Acetaldehyde, a chemical that can cause DNA damage and contribute to cancer, is prevalently present in our environment, e.g. in alcohol, tobacco, and food. Although aldehyde potentially promotes crosslinking reactions among biological substances including DNA, RNA, and protein, it remains unclear what types of DNA damage are caused by acetaldehyde and how they are repaired. In this study, we explored mechanisms involved in the repair of acetaldehyde-induced DNA damage by examining the cellular sensitivity to acetaldehyde in the collection of human TK6 mutant deficient in each genome maintenance system. Among the mutants, mismatch repair mutants did not show hypersensitivity to acetaldehyde, while mutants deficient in base and nucleotide excision repair pathways or homologous recombination (HR) exhibited higher sensitivity to acetaldehyde than did wild-type cells. We found that acetaldehyde-induced RAD51 foci representing HR intermediates were prolonged in HR-deficient cells. These results indicate a pivotal role of HR in the repair of acetaldehyde-induced DNA damage. These results suggest that acetaldehyde causes complex DNA damages that require various types of repair pathways. Mutants deficient in the removal of protein adducts from DNA ends such as TDP1-/- and TDP2-/- cells exhibited hypersensitivity to acetaldehyde. Strikingly, the double mutant deficient in both TDP1 and RAD54 showed similar sensitivity to each single mutant. This epistatic relationship between TDP1-/- and RAD54-/- suggests that the protein-DNA adducts generated by acetaldehyde need to be removed for efficient repair by HR. Our study would help understand the molecular mechanism of the genotoxic and mutagenic effects of acetaldehyde.

Abstract
Genome integrity is under constant insult from endogenous and exogenous sources. In order to cope, eukaryotic cells have evolved an elaborate network of DNA repair that can deal with diverse lesion types and exhibits considerable functional redundancy. PARP1 is a major sensor of DNA breaks with established and putative roles in a number of pathways within the DNA repair network, including repair of single- and double-strand breaks as well as protection of the DNA replication fork. Importantly, PARP1 is the major target of small-molecule PARP inhibitors (PARPi), which are employed in the treatment of homologous recombination (HR)-deficient tumors, as the latter are particularly susceptible to the accumulation of DNA damage due to an inability to efficiently repair highly toxic double-strand DNA breaks. The clinical success of PARPi has fostered extensive research into PARP biology, which has shed light on the involvement of PARP1 in various genomic transactions. A major goal within the field has been to understand the relationship between catalytic inhibition and PARP1 trapping. The specific consequences of inhibition and trapping on genomic stability as a basis for the cytotoxicity of PARP inhibitors remain a matter of debate. Finally, PARP inhibition is increasingly recognized for its capacity to elicit/modulate anti-tumor immunity. The clinical potential of PARP inhibition is, however, hindered by the development of resistance. Hence, extensive efforts are invested in identifying factors that promote resistance or sensitize cells to PARPi. The current review provides a summary of advances in our understanding of PARP1 biology, the mechanistic nature, and molecular consequences of PARP inhibition, as well as the mechanisms that give rise to PARPi resistance.

Abstract
Genetic material is constantly subjected to genotoxic insults and is critically dependent on DNA repair. Genome maintenance mechanisms differ in somatic and germ cells as the soma only requires maintenance during an individual's lifespan, while the germline indefinitely perpetuates its genetic information. DNA lesions are recognized and repaired by mechanistically highly diverse repair machineries. The DNA damage response impinges on a vast array of homeostatic processes and can ultimately result in cell fate changes such as apoptosis or cellular senescence. DNA damage causally contributes to the aging process and aging-associated diseases, most prominently cancer. By causing mutations, DNA damage in germ cells can lead to genetic diseases and impact the evolutionary trajectory of a species. The mechanisms ensuring tight control of germline DNA repair could be highly instructive in defining strategies for improved somatic DNA repair. They may provide future interventions to maintain health and prevent disease during aging.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) are a class of cancer drugs that enzymatically inhibit PARP activity at sites of DNA damage. Yet, PARPi function mainly by trapping PARP1 onto DNA with a wide range of potency among the clinically relevant inhibitors. How PARPi trap and why some are better trappers remain unknown. Here, we show trapping occurs primarily through a kinetic phenomenon at sites of DNA damage that correlates with PARPi koff. Our results suggest PARP trapping is not the physical stalling of PARP1 on DNA, rather the high probability of PARP re-binding damaged DNA in the absence of other DNA-binding protein recruitment. These results clarify how PARPi trap, shed new light on how PARPi function, and describe how PARPi properties correlate to trapping potency.

Abstract
Single-stranded DNA gaps are postulated to be fundamental to the mechanism of anti-cancer drugs. Gaining insights into their induction could therefore be pivotal for advancing therapeutic strategies. For poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) to be effective, the presence of FANCJ helicase is required. However, the relationship between FANCJ dependent gaps and PARP1 catalytic inhibition or trapping-both linked to PARPi toxicity in BRCA deficient cells-is yet to be elucidated. Here, we find that the efficacy of PARPi is contingent on S-phase PARP1 activity, which is compromised in FANCJ deficient cells because PARP1, along with MSH2, is "sequestered" by G-quadruplexes. PARP1's replication activity is also diminished in cells missing a FANCJ-MLH1 interaction, but in such cells, depleting MSH2 can release sequestered PARP1, restoring PARPi-induced gaps and sensitivity. Our observations indicate that sequestered and trapped PARP1 are different chromatin-bound forms, with FANCJ loss increasing PARPi resistance in cells susceptible to canonical PARP1 trapping. However, in BRCA1 null cells, the loss of FANCJ mirrors the effects of PARP1 loss or inhibition, with the common detrimental factor being the loss of PARP1 activity during DNA replication, not trapping. These insights underline the crucial role of PARP1 activity during DNA replication in BRCA deficient cells and emphasize the importance of understanding drug mechanisms for enhancing precision medicine.

Abstract
DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) are among the most common lesions arising in human cells, with tens to hundreds of thousands arising in each cell, each day. Cells have efficient mechanisms for the sensing and repair of these ubiquitous DNA lesions, but the failure of these processes to rapidly remove SSBs can lead to a variety of pathogenic outcomes. The threat posed by unrepaired SSBs is illustrated by the existence of at least six genetic diseases in which SSB repair (SSBR) is defective, all of which are characterised by neurodevelopmental and/or neurodegenerative pathology. Here, I review current understanding of how SSBs arise and impact on critical molecular processes, such as DNA replication and gene transcription, and their links to human disease.

Abstract
Halobenzoquinones (HBQs) were recently discovered as an emerging class of drinking water disinfection byproducts with carcinogenic concern. However, the molecular mechanism underlying HBQs-induced DNA damage is not clear. In this study, we integrated in vitro genotoxicity, computational toxicology, and the quantitative toxicogenomic analysis of HBQs on DNA damage/repair pathways in human bladder epithelial cells SV-HUC-1. The results showed that HBQs could induce cytotoxicity with the descending order as 2,6-DIBQ > 2,6-DCBQ ≈ 2,6-DBBQ. Also, HBQs can increase DNA damage in SV-HUC-1 cells and thus generate genotoxicity. However, there is no significant difference in genotoxicity among the three HBQs. The results of molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation further confirmed that HBQs had high binding fractions and stability to DNA. Toxicogenomic analysis indicated that HBQs interfered with DNA repair pathways, mainly affecting base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair and homologous recombination repair. These results have provided new insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms of HBQs-induced DNA damage, and contributed to the understanding of the relationship between exposure to DBPs and risks of developing bladder cancer.

Abstract
PARP inhibitors (PARPi) are a kind of cancer therapy that targets poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase. PARPi is the first clinically approved drug to exert synthetic lethality by obstructing the DNA single-strand break repair process. Despite the significant therapeutic effect in patients with homologous recombination (HR) repair deficiency, innate and acquired resistance to PARPi is a main challenge in the clinic. In this review, we mainly discussed the underlying mechanisms of PARPi resistance and summarized the promising solutions to overcome PARPi resistance, aiming at extending PARPi application and improving patient outcomes.

The proofreading exonuclease of leading-strand DNA polymerase epsilon prevents replication fork collapse at broken template strands. Nucleic Acids Res 2023; 51:12288-12302.

Abstract
Leading-strand DNA replication by polymerase epsilon (Polϵ) across single-strand breaks (SSBs) causes single-ended double-strand breaks (seDSBs), which are repaired via homology-directed repair (HDR) and suppressed by fork reversal (FR). Although previous studies identified many molecules required for hydroxyurea-induced FR, FR at seDSBs is poorly understood. Here, we identified molecules that specifically mediate FR at seDSBs. Because FR at seDSBs requires poly(ADP ribose)polymerase 1 (PARP1), we hypothesized that seDSB/FR-associated molecules would increase tolerance to camptothecin (CPT) but not the PARP inhibitor olaparib, even though both anti-cancer agents generate seDSBs. Indeed, we uncovered that Polϵ exonuclease and CTF18, a Polϵ cofactor, increased tolerance to CPT but not olaparib. To explore potential functional interactions between Polϵ exonuclease, CTF18, and PARP1, we created exonuclease-deficient POLE1exo-/-, CTF18-/-, PARP1-/-, CTF18-/-/POLE1exo-/-, PARP1-/-/POLE1exo-/-, and CTF18-/-/PARP1-/- cells. Epistasis analysis indicated that Polϵ exonuclease and CTF18 were interdependent and required PARP1 for CPT tolerance. Remarkably, POLE1exo-/- and HDR-deficient BRCA1-/- cells exhibited similar CPT sensitivity. Moreover, combining POLE1exo-/- with BRCA1-/- mutations synergistically increased CPT sensitivity. In conclusion, the newly identified PARP1-CTF18-Polϵ exonuclease axis and HDR act independently to prevent fork collapse at seDSBs. Olaparib inhibits this axis, explaining the pronounced cytotoxic effects of olaparib on HDR-deficient cells.

Abstract
Polyadenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) is a key modifying enzyme in cells, which participates in single-strand break repair and indirectly affects double-strand break repair. PARP inhibitors have shown great potential in oncotherapy by exploiting DNA damage repair pathways, and several small molecule PARP inhibitors have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treating various tumor types. PARP inhibitors not only have significant antitumor effects but also have some synergistic effects when combined with radiotherapy; therefore they have potential as radiation sensitizers. Here, we reviewed the advances and implications of PARP inhibitors in tumor radiotherapy sensitization. First, we summarized the multiple functions of PARP and the mechanisms by which its inhibitors exert antitumor effects. Next, we discuss the immunomodulatory effects of PARP and its inhibitors in tumors. Then, we described the theoretical basis of using PARP inhibitors in combination with radiotherapy and outlined their importance in oncological radiotherapy. Finally, we reviewed the current challenges in this field and elaborated on the future applications of PARP inhibitors as radiation sensitizers. A comprehensive understanding of the mechanism, optimal dosing, long-term safety, and identification of responsive biomarkers remain key challenges to integrating PARP inhibition into the radiotherapy management of cancer patients. Therefore, extensive research in these areas would facilitate the development of precision radiotherapy using PARP inhibitors to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
ADP-ribose is a versatile modification that plays a critical role in diverse cellular processes. The addition of this modification is catalyzed by ADP-ribosyltransferases, among which notable poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes are intimately involved in the maintenance of genome integrity. The role of ADP-ribose modifications during DNA damage repair is of significant interest for the proper development of PARP inhibitors targeted toward the treatment of diseases caused by genomic instability. More specifically, inhibitors promoting PARP persistence on DNA lesions, termed PARP "trapping," is considered a desirable characteristic. In this review, we discuss key classes of proteins involved in ADP-ribose signaling (writers, readers, and erasers) with a focus on those involved in the maintenance of genome integrity. An overview of factors that modulate PARP1 and PARP2 persistence at sites of DNA lesions is also discussed. Finally, we clarify aspects of the PARP trapping model in light of recent studies that characterize the kinetics of PARP1 and PARP2 recruitment at sites of lesions. These findings suggest that PARP trapping could be considered as the continuous recruitment of PARP molecules to sites of lesions, rather than the physical stalling of molecules. Recent studies and novel research tools have elevated the level of understanding of ADP-ribosylation, marking a coming-of-age for this interesting modification.

Toxic PARP trapping upon cAMP-induced DNA damage reinstates the efficacy of endocrine therapy and CDK4/6 inhibitors in treatment-refractory ER+ breast cancer. Nat Commun 2023; 14:6997.

Abstract
Resistance to endocrine therapy and CDK4/6 inhibitors, the standard of care (SOC) in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, greatly reduces patient survival. Therefore, elucidating the mechanisms of sensitivity and resistance to SOC therapy and identifying actionable targets are urgently needed. Here, we show that SOC therapy causes DNA damage and toxic PARP1 trapping upon generation of a functional BRCAness (i.e., BRCA1/2 deficiency) phenotype, leading to increased histone parylation and reduced H3K9 acetylation, resulting in transcriptional blockage and cell death. Mechanistically, SOC therapy downregulates phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D), a novel ER target gene in a feedforward loop with ER, resulting in increased cAMP, PKA-dependent phosphorylation of mitochondrial COXIV-I, ROS generation and DNA damage. However, during SOC resistance, an ER-to-EGFR switch induces PDE4D overexpression via c-Jun. Notably, combining SOC with inhibitors of PDE4D, EGFR or PARP1 overcomes SOC resistance irrespective of the BRCA1/2 status, providing actionable targets for restoring SOC efficacy.

Abstract
DNA breaks at protein-coding sequences are well-established threats to tissue homeostasis and maintenance. They arise from the exposure to intracellular and environmental genotoxins, causing damage in one or two strands of the DNA. DNA breaks have been also reported in non-coding regulatory regions such as enhancers and promoters. They arise from essential cellular processes required for gene transcription, cell identity and function. One such process that has attracted recent attention is the oxidative demethylation of DNA and histones, which generates abasic sites and DNA single-strand breaks. Here, we discuss how oxidative DNA breaks at non-coding regulatory regions are generated and the recently reported role of NuMA (nuclear mitotic apparatus) protein in promoting transcription and repair at these regions.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a first responder that recognizes DNA damage and facilitates its repair. Neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by progressive neuron loss driven by various risk factors, including DNA damage, have increasingly shed light on the pivotal involvement of PARP1. During the early phases of neurodegenerative diseases, PARP1 experiences controlled activation to swiftly address mild DNA damage, thereby contributing to maintain brain homeostasis. However, in late stages, exacerbated PARP1 activation precipitated by severe DNA damage exacerbates the disease condition. Consequently, inhibition of PARP1 overactivation emerges as a promising therapeutic approach for neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we comprehensively synthesize and explore the multifaceted role of PARP1 in neurodegenerative diseases, with a particular emphasis on its over-activation in the aggregation of misfolded proteins, dysfunction of the autophagy-lysosome pathway, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) injury. Additionally, we encapsulate the therapeutic applications and limitations intrinsic of PARP1 inhibitors, mainly including limited specificity, intricate pathway dynamics, constrained clinical translation, and the heterogeneity of patient cohorts. We also explore and discuss the potential synergistic implementation of these inhibitors alongside other agents targeting DNA damage cascades within neurodegenerative diseases. Simultaneously, we propose several recommendations for the utilization of PARP1 inhibitors within the realm of neurodegenerative disorders, encompassing factors like the disease-specific roles of PARP1, combinatorial therapeutic strategies, and personalized medical interventions. Lastly, the encompassing review presents a forward-looking perspective along with strategic recommendations that could guide future research endeavors in this field.

Abstract
Recent studies have pointed to PARP1 trapping as a key determinant of the anticancer effects of PARP1 inhibitors (PARPi). We identified RNF114, as a PARylation-dependent, E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in DNA damage response. Upon sensing genotoxicity, RNF114 was recruited, in a PAR-dependent manner, to DNA lesions, where it targeted PARP1 for degradation. The blockade of this pathway interfered with the removal of PARP1 from DNA lesions, leading to profound PARP1 trapping. We showed that a natural product, nimbolide, inhibited the E3 ligase activity of RNF114 and thus caused PARP1 trapping. However, unlike conventional PARPi, nimbolide treatment induced the trapping of both PARP1 and PARylation-dependent DNA repair factors. Nimbolide showed synthetic lethality with BRCA mutations, and it overcame intrinsic and acquired resistance to PARPi, both in vitro and in vivo. These results point to the exciting possibility of targeting the RNF114-PARP1 pathway for the treatment of homologous recombination-deficient cancers.

Abstract
UV irradiation induces "bulky" DNA photodimers such as (6-4)-photoproducts and cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers that are removed by nucleotide excision repair, a complex process defective in the sunlight-sensitive and cancer-prone disease xeroderma pigmentosum. Some bacteria and lower eukaryotes can also repair photodimers by enzymatically simpler mechanisms, but such pathways have not been reported in normal human cells. Here, we have identified such a mechanism. We show that normal human cells can employ a DNA base excision repair process involving NTH1, APE1, PARP1, XRCC1, and FEN1 to rapidly remove a subset of photodimers at early times following UVC irradiation. Loss of these proteins slows the early rate of repair of photodimers in normal cells, ablates their residual repair in xeroderma pigmentosum cells, and increases UVC sensitivity ∼2-fold. These data reveal that human cells can excise photodimers using a long-patch base excision repair process that functions additively but independently of nucleotide excision repair.

Absence of mitochondrial SLC25A51 enhances PARP1-dependent DNA repair by increasing nuclear NAD+ levels. Nucleic Acids Res 2023; 51:9248-9265.

Abstract
Though the effect of the recently identified mitochondrial NAD+ transporter SLC25A51 on glucose metabolism has been described, its contribution to other NAD+-dependent processes throughout the cell such as ADP-ribosylation remains elusive. Here, we report that absence of SLC25A51 leads to increased NAD+ concentration not only in the cytoplasm and but also in the nucleus. The increase is not associated with upregulation of the salvage pathway, implying an accumulation of constitutively synthesized NAD+ in the cytoplasm and nucleus. This results in an increase of PARP1-mediated nuclear ADP-ribosylation, as well as faster repair of DNA lesions induced by different single-strand DNA damaging agents. Lastly, absence of SLC25A51 reduces both MMS/Olaparib induced PARP1 chromatin retention and the sensitivity of different breast cancer cells to PARP1 inhibition. Together these results provide evidence that SLC25A51 might be a novel target to improve PARP1 inhibitor based therapies by changing subcellular NAD+ redistribution.

Oncogene 2023; 42:2971-2984. [PMID: 37620447 DOI: 10.1038/s41388-023-02812-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023]
Abstract
Poly[ADP-ribose] polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, which selectively kills homologous recombination (HR) repair-deficient cancer cells, are widely employed to treat cancer patients harboring BRCA1/2 mutations. However, they display limited efficacy in tumors with wild-type (WT) BRCA1/2. Thus, it is crucial to identify new druggable HR repair regulators and improve the therapeutic efficacy of PARP inhibitors via combination therapies in BRCA1/2-WT tumors. Here, we show that the depletion of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) subunit p53R2 impairs HR repair and sensitizes BRCA1/2-WT cancer cells to PARP inhibition. We further demonstrate that the loss of p53R2 leads to a decrease of HR repair factor CtIP, as a result of dNTPs shortage-induced ubiquitination of CtIP. Moreover, we identify that casein kinase II (CK2) phosphorylates p53R2 at its ser20, which subsequently activates RNR for dNTPs production. Therefore, pharmacologic inhibition of the CK2-mediated phosphorylation of p53R2 compromises its HR repair capacity in BRCA1/2-WT cancer cells, which renders these cells susceptible to PARP inhibition in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, our study reveals a novel strategy to inhibit HR repair activity and convert BRCA1/2-proficient cancers to be susceptible to PARP inhibitors via synthetic lethal combination.

Abstract
Genetic interactions have long informed our understanding of the coordinated proteins and pathways that respond to DNA damage in mammalian cells, but systematic interrogation of the genetic network underlying that system has yet to be achieved. Towards this goal, we measured 147,153 pairwise interactions among genes implicated in PARP inhibitor (PARPi) response. Evaluating genetic interactions at this scale, with and without exposure to PARPi, revealed hierarchical organization of the pathways and complexes that maintain genome stability during normal growth and defined changes that occur upon accumulation of DNA lesions due to cytotoxic doses of PARPi. We uncovered unexpected relationships among DNA repair genes, including context-specific buffering interactions between the minimally characterized AUNIP and BRCA1-A complex genes. Our work thus establishes a foundation for mapping differential genetic interactions in mammalian cells and provides a comprehensive resource for future studies of DNA repair and PARP inhibitors.

Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase-1 Lacking Enzymatic Activity Is Not Compatible with Mouse Development. Cells 2023; 12:2078.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) binds DNA lesions to catalyse poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) using NAD+ as a substrate. PARP1 plays multiple roles in cellular activities, including DNA repair, transcription, cell death, and chromatin remodelling. However, whether these functions are governed by the enzymatic activity or scaffolding function of PARP1 remains elusive. In this study, we inactivated in mice the enzymatic activity of PARP1 by truncating its C-terminus that is essential for ART catalysis (PARP1ΔC/ΔC, designated as PARP1-ΔC). The mutation caused embryonic lethality between embryonic day E8.5 and E13.5, in stark contrast to PARP1 complete knockout (PARP1-/-) mice, which are viable. Embryonic stem (ES) cell lines can be derived from PARP1ΔC/ΔC blastocysts, and these mutant ES cells can differentiate into all three germ layers, yet, with a high degree of cystic structures, indicating defects in epithelial cells. Intriguingly, PARP1-ΔC protein is expressed at very low levels compared to its full-length counterpart, suggesting a selective advantage for cell survival. Noticeably, PARP2 is particularly elevated and permanently present at the chromatin in PARP1-ΔC cells, indicating an engagement of PARP2 by non-enzymatic PARP1 protein at the chromatin. Surprisingly, the introduction of PARP1-ΔC mutation in adult mice did not impair their viability; yet, these mutant mice are hypersensitive to alkylating agents, similar to PARP1-/- mutant mice. Our study demonstrates that the catalytically inactive mutant of PARP1 causes the developmental block, plausibly involving PARP2 trapping.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) Polymerase 1 (PARP-1), also known as ADP-ribosyl transferase with diphtheria toxin homology 1 (ARTD-1), is a critical player in DNA damage repair, during which it catalyzes the ADP ribosylation of self and target enzymes. While the nuclear localization of PARP-1 has been well established, recent studies also suggest its mitochondrial localization. In this review, we summarize the differences between mitochondrial and nuclear Base Excision Repair (BER) pathways, the involvement of PARP-1 in mitochondrial and nuclear BER, and its functional interplay with other BER enzymes.

Abstract
Telomere maintenance is a hallmark of malignant cells and allows cancers to divide indefinitely. In some cancers, this is achieved through the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway. Whilst loss of ATRX is a near universal feature of ALT-cancers, it is insufficient in isolation. As such, other cellular events must be necessary - but the exact nature of the secondary events has remained elusive. Here, we report that trapping of proteins (such as TOP1, TOP2A and PARP1) on DNA leads to ALT induction in cells lacking ATRX. We demonstrate that protein-trapping chemotherapeutic agents, such as etoposide, camptothecin and talazoparib, induce ALT markers specifically in ATRX-null cells. Further, we show that treatment with G4-stabilising drugs cause an increase in trapped TOP2A levels which leads to ALT induction in ATRX-null cells. This process is MUS81-endonuclease and break-induced replication dependent, suggesting that protein trapping leads to replication fork stalling, with these forks being aberrantly processed in the absence of ATRX. Finally, we show ALT-positive cells harbour a higher load of genome-wide trapped proteins, such as TOP1, and knockdown of TOP1 reduced ALT activity. Taken together, these findings suggest that protein trapping is a fundamental driving force behind ALT-biology in ATRX-deficient malignancies.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation is a post-translational modification involved in DNA damage response (DDR). In higher organisms it is synthesised by PARP 1-3, DNA strand break sensors. Recent advances have identified serine residues as the most common targets for ADP-ribosylation during DDR. To ADP-ribosylate serine, PARPs require an accessory factor, HPF1 which completes the catalytic domain. Through ADP-ribosylation, PARPs recruit a variety of factors to the break site and control their activities. However, the timely removal of ADP-ribosylation is also key for genome stability and is mostly performed by two hydrolases: PARG and ARH3. Here, we describe the key writers, readers and erasers of ADP-ribosylation and their contribution to the mounting of the DDR. We also discuss the use of PARP inhibitors in cancer therapy and the ways to tackle PARPi treatment resistance.

Abstract
Background: Since its discovery, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) has been extensively studied due to its regulatory role in numerous biologically crucial pathways. PARP inhibitors have opened new therapeutic avenues for cancer patients and have gained approval as standalone treatments for certain types of cancer. With continued advancements in the research of PARP inhibitors, we can fully realize their potential as therapeutic targets for various diseases. Purpose: To assess the current understanding of PARP-1 mechanisms in radioprotection and radiotherapy based on the literature. Methods: We searched the PubMed database and summarized information on PARP inhibitors, the interaction of PARP-1 with DNA, and the relationships between PARP-1 and p53/ROS, NF-κB/DNA-PK, and caspase3/AIF, respectively. Results: The enzyme PARP-1 plays a crucial role in repairing DNA damage and modifying proteins. Cells exposed to radiation can experience DNA damage, such as single-, intra-, or inter-strand damage. This damage, associated with replication fork stagnation, triggers DNA repair mechanisms, including those involving PARP-1. The activity of PARP-1 increases 500-fold on DNA binding. Studies on PARP-1-knockdown mice have shown that the protein regulates the response to radiation. A lack of PARP-1 also increases the organism's sensitivity to radiation injury. PARP-1 has been found positively or negatively regulate the expression of specific genes through its modulation of key transcription factors and other molecules, including NF-κB, p53, Caspase 3, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF). Conclusion: This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the physiological and pathological roles of PARP-1 and examines the impact of PARP-1 inhibitors under conditions of ionizing radiation exposure. The review also emphasizes the challenges and opportunities for developing PARP-1 inhibitors to improve the clinical outcomes of ionizing radiation damage.

Abstract
Chemical screening studies have identified drug sensitivities across hundreds of cancer cell lines but most putative therapeutics fail to translate. Discovery and development of drug candidates in models that more accurately reflect nutrient availability in human biofluids may help in addressing this major challenge. Here we performed high-throughput screens in conventional versus Human Plasma-Like Medium (HPLM). Sets of conditional anticancer compounds span phases of clinical development and include non-oncology drugs. Among these, we characterize a unique dual-mechanism of action for brivudine, an agent otherwise approved for antiviral treatment. Using an integrative approach, we find that brivudine affects two independent targets in folate metabolism. We also traced conditional phenotypes for several drugs to the availability of nucleotide salvage pathway substrates and verified others for compounds that seemingly elicit off-target anticancer effects. Our findings establish generalizable strategies for exploiting conditional lethality in HPLM to reveal therapeutic candidates and mechanisms of action.

Abstract
Laser micro-irradiation across the nucleus rapidly generates localized chromatin-associated DNA lesions permitting analysis of repair protein recruitment in living cells. Recruitment of three fluorescently-tagged base excision repair factors [DNA polymerase β (pol β), XRCC1 and PARP1], known to interact with one another, was compared in gene-deleted mouse embryonic fibroblasts and in those expressing the endogenous factor. A low energy micro-irradiation (LEMI) forming direct single-strand breaks and a moderate energy (MEMI) protocol that additionally creates oxidized bases were compared. Quantitative characterization of repair factor recruitment and sensitivity to clinical PARP inhibitors (PARPi) was dependent on the micro-irradiation protocol. PARP1 recruitment was biphasic and generally occurred prior to pol β and XRCC1. After LEMI, but not after MEMI, pol β and XRCC1 recruitment was abolished by the PARPi veliparib. Consistent with this, pol β and XRCC1 recruitment following LEMI was considerably slower in PARP1-deficient cells. Surprisingly, the recruitment half-times and amplitudes for pol β were less affected by PARPi than were XRCC1 after MEMI suggesting there is a XRCC1-independent component for pol β recruitment. After LEMI, but not MEMI, pol β dissociation was more rapid than that of XRCC1. Unexpectedly, PARP1 dissociation was slowed in the absence of XRCC1 as well with a PARPi after LEMI but not MEMI, suggesting that XRCC1 facilitates PARP1 dissociation from specific DNA lesions. XRCC1-deficient cells showed pronounced hypersensitivity to the PARPi talazoparib correlating with its known cytotoxic PARP1 trapping activity. In contrast to DNA methylating agents, PARPi only minimally sensitized pol β and XRCC1-deficient cells to oxidative DNA damage suggesting differential binding of PARP1 to alternate repair intermediates. In summary, pol β, XRCC1, and PARP1 display recruitment kinetics that exhibit correlated and unique properties that depend on the DNA lesion and PARP activity revealing that there are multiple avenues utilized in the repair of chromatin-associated DNA.

Abstract
Urologic cancers such as kidney, bladder, prostate, and uroepithelial cancers have recently become a considerable global health burden, and the response to immunotherapy is limited due to immune escape and immune resistance. Therefore, it is crucial to find appropriate and effective combination therapies to improve the sensitivity of patients to immunotherapy. DNA damage repair inhibitors can enhance the immunogenicity of tumor cells by increasing tumor mutational burden and neoantigen expression, activating immune-related signaling pathways, regulating PD-L1 expression, and reversing the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment to activate the immune system and enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy. Based on promising experimental results from preclinical studies, many clinical trials combining DNA damage repair inhibitors (e.g., PARP inhibitors and ATR inhibitors) with immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) are underway in patients with urologic cancers. Results from several clinical trials have shown that the combination of DNA damage repair inhibitors with immune checkpoint inhibitors can improve objective rates, progression-free survival, and overall survival (OS) in patients with urologic tumors, especially in patients with defective DNA damage repair genes or a high mutational load. In this review, we present the results of preclinical and clinical trials of different DNA damage repair inhibitors in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors in urologic cancers and summarize the potential mechanism of action of the combination therapy. Finally, we also discuss the challenges of dose toxicity, biomarker selection, drug tolerance, drug interactions in the treatment of urologic tumors with this combination therapy and look into the future direction of this combination therapy.

Abstract
Changes in gene expression in lung epithelial cells are detected in cancer tissues during exposure to pollutants, highlighting the importance of gene-environmental interactions in disease. Here, a Cd-induced malignant transformation model in mouse lungs and bronchial epithelial cell lines is constructed, and differences in the expression of non-coding circRNAs are analyzed. The migratory and invasive abilities of Cd-transformed cells are suppressed by circCIMT. A significant DNA damage response is observed after exposure to Cd, which increased further following circCIMT-interference. It is found that APEX1 is significantly down-regulated following Cd exposure. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that circCIMT bound to APEX1 during Cd exposure to mediate the DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway, thereby reducing DNA damage. In addition, simultaneous knockdown of both circCIMT and APEX1 promotes the expression of cancer-related genes and malignant transformation after long-term Cd exposure. Overall, these findings emphasis the importance of genetic-epigenetic interactions in chemical-induced cancer transformation.

J Biol Chem 2023; 299:104636. [PMID: 36963489 PMCID: PMC10148159 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.104636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) is carried out by a series of proteins that function in a step-by-step process to identify, remove, and replace DNA damage. During BER, the DNA transitions through various intermediate states as it is processed by each DNA repair enzyme. Left unrepaired, these BER intermediates can transition into double-stranded DNA breaks and promote genome instability. Previous studies have proposed a short-lived complex consisting of the BER intermediate, the incoming enzyme, and the outgoing enzyme at each step of the BER pathway to protect the BER intermediate. The transfer of BER intermediates between enzymes, known as BER coordination or substrate channeling, remains poorly understood. Here, we utilize single-molecule total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy to investigate the mechanism of BER coordination between apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) and DNA polymerase β (Pol β). When preformed complexes of APE1 and the incised abasic site product (APE1 product and Pol β substrate) were subsequently bound by Pol β, the Pol β enzyme dissociated shortly after binding in most of the observations. In the events where Pol β binding was followed by APE1 dissociation during substrate channeling, Pol β remained bound for a longer period of time to allow disassociation of APE1. Our results indicate that transfer of the BER intermediate from APE1 to Pol β during BER is dependent on the dissociation kinetics of APE1 and the duration of the ternary complex on the incised abasic site.
