Abstract
The formation of ATP produced from poly(ADP-ribose) [(ADP-R)n] has been suggested to be required to repair damaged DNA. Here we investigate whether this ATP is involved in DNA replication processes during DNA repair. Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated mid-S phase cell nuclei, which were isolated from synchronized HeLa S3 cells followed by the treatment with a DNA damaging agent, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), were revealed to retain DNA replication synthesizing activity during preincubation for de-poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation only in the presence of pyrophosphate (PPi) before DNA synthesis was started by adding 3 mM ATP. This DNA replication activity was not maintained in the presence of a potent and specific inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG), Oenothein B (Oen B) during the preincubation with PPi. In the preincubation with PPi, muM orders of ATP was produced from (ADP-R)n. These results point to an important function of ATP generated from (ADP-R)n in nuclei for the maintenance of replication apparatus during DNA repair.

Abstract
The activity of the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1 (E.C.2.4.2.30), which is highly activated by DNA strand breaks, is associated with the pathophysiology of both acute as well as chronic inflammatory diseases. PARP-1 overactivation and the subsequent extensive turnover of its substrate NAD+ put a large demand on mitochondrial ATP-production. Furthermore, due to its reported role in NF-kappaB and AP-1 mediated production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, PARP-1 is considered an interesting target in the treatment of these diseases. In this study the PARP-1 inhibiting capacity of caffeine and several metabolites as well as other (methyl)xanthines was tested using an ELISA-assay with purified human PARP-1. Caffeine itself showed only weak PARP-1 inhibiting activity, whereas the caffeine metabolites 1,7-dimethylxanthine, 3-methylxanthine and 1-methylxanthine, as well as theobromine and theophylline showed significant PARP-1 inhibiting activity. Further evaluation of these compounds in H2O2-treated A549 lung epithelial and RF24 vascular endothelial cells revealed that the decrease in NAD+-levels as well as the formation of the poly(ADP-ribose)polymer was significantly prevented by the major caffeine metabolite 1,7-dimethylxanthine. Furthermore, H2O2-induced necrosis could be prevented by a high dose of 1,7-dimethylxanthine. Finally, antioxidant effects of the methylxanthines could be ruled out with ESR and measurement of the TEAC. Concluding, caffeine metabolites are inhibitors of PARP-1 and the major caffeine metabolite 1,7-dimethylxanthine has significant PARP-1 inhibiting activity in cultured epithelial and endothelial cells at physiological concentrations. This inhibition could have important implications for nutritional treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory pathologies, like prevention of ischemia-reperfusion injury or vascular complications in diabetes.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation reaction, that is the transfer of the ADP-ribose moiety of NAD+ to acceptor protein, is catalyzed by two classes of ADP-ribosyltransferases, i.e., poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase and mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferases. These two types differ not only in the number of transferring ADP-ribose units but also in the acceptor amino acid(s) and protein. Their inhibitors, particularly those of poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase, have been successfully employed in studies on biological functions of the enzymes and other related fields of research. Recently, we found many potent and specific inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase, and broadened their chemical as well as biochemical variety. More recently, we found several potent inhibitors of arginine-specific mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferases and activators of poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase.

Abstract
Pyridine and adenine nucleotide levels were measured in Friend erythroleukaemia cells (FELC) stimulated to growth and induced to differentiate by hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) and N'-methylnicotinamide (N'-MNAM). A three- to fourfold increase in the NADP(H) was found to parallel cell growth stimulation in both the presence and absence of differentiation inducers. NAD(H) increased about twofold in control and to a minor extent in HMBA-treated FELC but did not vary significantly in N'-MNAM-treated cells. ATP was significantly higher in control cells stimulated to growth than in resting ones, but it did not vary in inducer-treated cells. These data confirm the relationship between high NADP(H) levels and cell resumption to growth; moreover they show that NAD(H) pool reduction and NAD/NADH ratio rise are associated with the process of FELC differentiation. The activities of NAD pyrophosphorylase and NAD kinase are much more enhanced in growth-stimulated FELC than in resting ones. On the other hand transition from the quiescent to the proliferative state was accompanied by a decrease in the activity of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. A decrease in poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity was also found in differentiated cells in contrast to controls.

Abstract
The subcellular distributions of endogenous ADP-ribosylation products in hearts from 1-day-old neonatal and adult rats were investigated. In adult rat heart a 52 kDa mono-ADP-ribosylation product was identified in the plasma membrane fraction. In contrast, in neonatal rat heart a 130 kDa poly-ADP-ribosylation product was present in the nuclear fraction. The monomeric and polymeric nature of the two ADP-ribosylation products was determined by their sensitivity to thymidine and by analysis of their snake venom phosphodiesterase products. NADP+ enhanced both the mono- and polymeric reactions. The ADP-ribose-protein linkage of the adult 52 kDa product was stable to 1 h of treatment with hydroxylamine (0.5 M) and mercury ions, but was sensitive to alkali and a 12 h treatment with hydroxylamine (1 M). This is suggestive of an arginine linkage. The 130 kDa poly-ADP-ribosylation product from the neonatal rat heart was alkalilabile but stable to both hydroxylamine and HgCl2. This implies the presence of an unusual linkage in the 130 kDa product. The presence of these different ADP-ribosylation products in adult and neonatal rat hearts suggests the possible importance of these proteins and their ADP-ribosylation during cardiac development.

Abstract
The steady-state levels of mRNA and transcription of alpha-skeletal actin (alpha-SKA) and adult myosin heavy chain (MHC) genes were measured in the skeletal, cardiac and uterine muscles of young (22-25 week) and old (123-135 week) female rats. The effects of 10(-8) M 17 beta-estradiol/dexamethasone/T3 alpha on their transcription were also studied. The data show that the alpha-SKA mRNA level is lower in the old skeletal muscle and uterus, but is higher in the old myocardium. The adult MHC mRNA level is not different in the three muscles of both the ages. The transcription of alpha-SKA gene is lower in the skeletal muscle and higher in the uterus of old rats. It is unaltered in the myocardium of old rats. The transcription of adult MHC gene is lower in the old uterus. The effects of hormones on transcription of both the genes are different in the three muscles. We show that the expression of alpha-SKA gene is tissue-specific and age-related. The over-expression of alpha-SKA gene in the old myocardium is possibly due to derepression of the gene caused by hypertrophy of cardiac myocytes, and continuous hemodynamic pressure overload on the old heart.

Abstract
In this article, the authors have pointed out flaws in the current version of the free radical hypothesis of aging and have advanced a new hypothesis that reconciles and encapsulates existing information. The main premise of this hypothesis is that aging is a continuation of development and is thus influenced by genetically programmed phenomena. Completion of various genetic programs and the duration of life are linked to a metabolic potential which is itself a genetically determined sum of energy expenditure. Nevertheless, the rate at which metabolic potential is reached is linked to the rate of metabolism and the level of oxidative stress both of which are influenced by epigenetic stimuli. The current version of the free radical hypothesis postulates that partially reduced oxygen species are produced in aerobic cells in an uncontrolled fashion and do not play any useful physiological function. The principle tenet of the free radical hypothesis is that molecular damage is the underlying cause of aging and that O2- radicals and derivatives induce most of the damage sustained by cells during aging. The authors regard this hypothesis as flawed because it fails to explain either low randomly occurring damage can lead to age-associated changes that are species-specific, or the sequential nature of the changes that occur in aging organisms. In contrast to the free radical hypothesis, our hypothesis can explain the specific and sequential nature of aging-related changes because they are postulated to be neither dependent upon uncontrolled damage nor the cellular capacity to prevent it. Instead, the authors suggest that the damage accumulated during aging is a secondary effect rather than a direct cause of senescence. The authors have shown that cells exert control not only on their level of antioxidant defense but also on their rate of oxidant production. The authors postulate that aging is the terminal stage of development, and as such is influenced genetically. The authors also postulate that a definite sum of energy is required to complete the genetic programs associated with aging. Thus, the rate of aging is linked to the level of oxidative stress; the rate of energy utilization is postulated to determine the level of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is one of the factors which appears to govern changes in gene expression during differentiation and we suggest that it causes alterations in gene expression during aging. In the authors revised hypothesis, free radicals promote aging by affecting specific genetic programs and the incidental damage they inflict in cells is only a by-product of this process.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Post-treatment with 2 mM caffeine or 2 mM benzamide increased the lethality of MNNG (N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine) treated V79 cells; in the presence of 50 microM deoxycytidine, the caffeine effect was eliminated whereas the benzamide effect remained the same. Combined treatment with caffeine/benzamide alone produced a large amount of cell lethality which was eliminated by 50 microM deoxycytidine. Benzamide produced a strong inhibition of the poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase activity present in cell-free extracts prepared from V79 cells with greater than 90% inhibition at 2 mM concentration; caffeine on the other hand did not produce any substantial inhibition of this activity in the 2-5 mM range. These results further substantiate our earlier hypothesis that the mode of action of caffeine and benzamide on eukaryotic cells containing DNA damage are not identical [S.K. Das, C.C. Lau and A.B. Pardee (1984) Mutation Res., 131, 71-79].

Abstract
A possible role of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis in modulating the response of V79 cells to DNA damage induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) was investigated. Inhibition of [3H]thymidine (dThd) incorporation into DNA and lowering of NAD+ levels in intact cells were employed as parameters of DNA-synthesis inhibition and poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis, respectively. Dose responses of these parameters were studied in cells 2 and 24 h after treatment with the methylating agents in medium with or without dThd. The initial inhibition of DNA synthesis was uniformly associated with stimulation of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis whether the cells were treated with MNNG or MMS, incubated with or without 20 microM dThd which did not inhibit poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis, or incubated with 3 mM dThd which did inhibit the latter synthesis. By contrast, the DNA-synthesis inhibition detected 24 h after treatment with MNNG was not associated with poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis. These data suggest that (i) the mechanism of this later inhibition of DNA synthesis is different from that of the initial inhibition, (ii) DNA-synthesis inhibition does not stimulate poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis, and (iii) single-strand breaks, resulting from N-methylation of the DNA, stimulate poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis, which may produce the initial inhibition of DNA synthesis. The initial inhibition of DNA synthesis was not uniformly associated with mutagenesis and dThd facilitation of MNNG-induced cytotoxicity and mutagenesis. This indicates that O-methylation of DNA does not stimulate poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis. Our data suggest that, in V79 cells treated with methylating agents, poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis is stimulated by single-strand breaks, inhibits DNA synthesis, and thereby serves to allow time for repair of the DNA prior to replication.

Abstract
Multiple low-dose injections of streptozotocin (SZ) induce a gradually developing hyperglycaemia and pancreatic insulitis in certain inbred mouse strains. In the present investigation nicotinamide, which is known to protect against SZ-induced diabetes, was given prior to a single diabetogenic dose of SZ to C57BL/KsJ mice. Nicotinamide protected against SZ-induced hyperglycaemia in the acute phase but 13 of the 18 animals in this group became diabetic during the second week of observation. Nine of these mice had insulitis, seven of which showed overt diabetes. Since nicotinamide increased the serum glucose concentration at the time of the SZ-administration ten minutes later, the possibility that glucose mediated the protective action was evaluated. Glucose-pretreatment, however, was found to potentiate the diabetogenic action of SZ. It is obvious from the present data that another type of diabetes than that induced by a single high dose of SZ can be evoked if the immediate B-cytotoxic effects of SZ are reduced. It may be speculated that islet B-cells of mice given nicotinamide before SZ, for a time retain SZ-induced DNA injuries, which may lead to the expression of neoantigens and an autoimmune reaction.

Abstract
The effects of caffeine and 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) on Syrian baby hamster kidney cells treated with DNA-alkylating agents and ultraviolet-light suggest that two different DNA-repair mechanisms are involved. Both these agents enhanced the cell kill after methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) treatment. However, enhanced lethality was observed only with caffeine post-treatment when cells were exposed to nitrogen mustard (HN2) or ultraviolet light (UV); 3-AB did not appreciably change cell killing by these agents. With MMS-treated cultures, the effect of caffeine was maximal about 16 h later. The effect of 3-AB on the other hand, was exerted during the first 4 h after exposure to MMS. Caffeine's effect on cell survival could be abolished by low concentrations of cycloheximide, whereas 3-AB's effect could not. Furthermore, the G2 block in cell cycle progression, after MMS treatment, was not observed if the cells were post-treated with caffeine. In the presence of 3-AB, MMS-treated cells were arrested in G2 phase at a much earlier time compared to cells not treated with 3-AB. Finally caffeine post-treatment produced a 10-fold increase in nuclear fragmentation in MMS-treated cells. 3-AB did not cause nuclear fragmentation by itself but further enhanced the nuclear fragmenting effect of caffeine when both agents were present during the posttreatment. Therefore, we propose that 3-AB and caffeine each prevent a different repair mechanism from being effective.

Abstract
The modification of DNA topoisomerase I activity by poly (ADP-ribosylation) is a potentially important control mechanism for this ubiquitous enzyme which is widely believed to play a role in replication (2, 3). Our studies of the phenomenon so far suggest that DNA topoisomerase I activity may be regulated in response to the state of the DNA in the nucleus since the modification enzyme, poly (ADP-ribose) synthetase, is sensitive to interruptions in the normal double helical structure of DNA (10). Although this phenomenon has been most extensively characterized for the purified enzymes from calf thymus (5), preliminary evidence for poly (ADP-ribosylation) of topoisomerase I is presented in a nonthymic system, the mammalian cell line CHO EM9. Attempts to detect poly (ADP-ribosylation) in yeast cells have so far proven to be unsuccessful.

Abstract
ADP-ribosyl transferase (ADP-RT) is a chromatin-bound nuclear enzyme catalysing the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD+ to chromatin proteins. The enzyme is activated by DNA strand breaks and has been suggested to have roles in both DNA repair (via its effect on DNA ligase II) and in differentiation. We recently demonstrated that specific inhibitors of ADP-RT preferentially inhibit differentiation of human granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells to the macrophage lineage and that the specific proliferation/differentiation stimulus granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating activity (GM-CSA) activates ADP-RT in human marrow cells within 3 h of exposure. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of ADP-RT in monocyte-macrophage differentiation. By altering the time of addition of ADP-RT inhibitor it was demonstrated that maximal inhibition of macrophage differentiation only occurs when the inhibitor is added within the first 24 h of culture. This suggests that it is an early event during the induced differentiation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells which requires ADP-RT. Fluorometric assay of the level of DNA strand breaks showed that GM-CSA induces DNA strand breaks which are rapidly ligated only if ADP-RT is available. These data and those of our earlier studies suggest that DNA rearrangement may be involved in differentiation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors to the monocyte-macrophage pathway. Such a DNA rearrangement could provide a molecular basis for commitment of multipotent progenitors to a single lineage.

Abstract
The possible protective effects in vitro of the hydroxyl radical scavenger dimethyl urea (6 mg/ml) and the poly(ADP-ribose)synthetase inhibitors theophylline (5 mM) and nicotinamide (0.75 mg/ml) against streptozotocin (SZ) induced deterioration of islet metabolism were investigated using isolated mouse pancreatic islets. All these compounds counteracted to different extents the deleterious effects of SZ (4.4 mM) on glucose-stimulated (pro)insulin biosynthesis, dimethyl urea protecting least. No protective effects against SZ were obtained by adding 16.7 mM glucose or 5 mM dibuturyl cAMP. The islet NADH + NAD content decreased drastically when exposed to SZ. Again, nicotinamide and theophylline protected better against the SZ-effects on pyridine nucleotides than dimethyl urea. Furthermore, the maintenance of a linear rate of oxygen uptake was lost after SZ-exposure of the islets, and there was no increase of the respiratory rate when these islets were challenged with high glucose. Also in these islet respiratory studies a partial or total protection by dimethyl urea, theophylline and nicotinamide against SZ was observed. In perifusion experiments SZ rapidly decreased insulin release together with a slightly delayed increased radioactive nucleotide efflux. Later (about 20 min.) a massive leakage of both radioactive nucleotides and insulin occurred in most of the experiments. It is concluded that all the observed impairments of islet metabolism after SZ-exposure can be related to islet NAD depletion, which may depend on poly(ADP-ribose)synthetase activation due to DNA damage. The SZ-induced DNA injury may be mediated by free radicals as suggested by the protective effects of dimethyl urea.

Abstract
In the present investigation, the abilities of streptozotocin and alloxan to induce DNA repair synthesis in isolated mouse pancreatic islets have been compared using an autoradiographic technique. Streptozotocin exposure in vitro induced a dose-dependent DNA repair synthesis, whereas no such effect was observed after alloxan treatment. The hydroxyl radical scavenger dimethyl urea and the poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase inhibitors nicotinamide and theophylline reduced the streptozotocin-induced DNA repair. The results suggest that the initial events in streptozotocin-induced B cell injury are DNA damage and repair and that alloxan exerts its major cytotoxic effect by a different mechanism.

Abstract
Cell differentiation is the process by which genetic information is selectively expressed to produce cells with various morphologies and functions. The integrated changes necessary for this fundamentally important process have recently been the subject of intense study. This review will summarize data from several laboratories correlating differentiation with the activity of the enzyme ADP-ribosyl transferase and with changes in single-strand DNA breaks in various diverse eukaryotic systems. We will then discuss the implications of these observations for differentiation in general, including the possibility that rearrangement of genetic material is a widespread mechanism for controlling gene expression.

Abstract
The effect of antitumor antibiotic neocarzinostatin on DNA replication in HeLa cells was studied by pulse-labeling of DNA with [3H]thymidine and sedimentation analysis of the DNA with alkaline sucrose gradients. The drug, which produced DNA damage, primarily inhibited the replicon initiation in the cells at low doses (less than or equal to 0.1 microgram/ml), and at high doses (greater than or equal to 0.5 microgram/ml) inhibited the DNA chain elongation. An analysis of the number of single-strand breaks of parental DNA, induced by neocarzinostatin, indicated that inhibition of the initiation occurred with introduction of single-strand breaks of less than 1.5 . 10(4)/cell, while inhibition of the elongation occurred with introduction of single-strand breaks of more than 7.5 . 10(4)/cell. Assuming that the relative molecular mass of DNA/HeLa cell was about 10(13) Da, the target size of DNA for inhibition of replicon initiation was calculated to be about 10(9) Da, such being close to an average size of loop DNA in the cell and for inhibition of chain elongation, 1-2 . 10(8) Da which was of the same order of magnitude as the size of replicons. Recovery of inhibited DNA replication by neocarzinostatin occurred during post-incubation of the cells and seemed to correlate with the degree of rejoining of the single-strand breaks of parental DNA. Caffeine and theophylline enhanced the recovery of the inhibited replicon initiation, but did not aid in the repair of the breaks in parental DNA.

Abstract
When N-methylformamide is administered to rats on the 11th day of pregnancy approximately 50% of the fetuses are resorbed and a reduced weight of the developed animals is found in comparison to the controls on the 21th day (delivery by Caesarian section). The toxic effect is increased by using nicotinamide and methionine. If a combination of these substances is employed practically all fetuses are resorbed. Tryptophan, however, has a considerably protective influence. N-Methylformamide has no influence on the NAD-synthesis induced by nicotinamide or tryptophan. It does, however, inhibits the activity of the ADPR transferase.

Abstract
The sensitivities (Do-values) of the cytotoxic effect of MNU on four rodent cell lines were: mouse L1210, 0.07 mM; rat Yoshida sarcoma, 0.52 mM; Chinese hamster V79A, 0.70 mM and the UV sensitive, X-ray sensitive V79/79, 0.35 mM. The abilities of maximum non-toxic doses of the poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors, 5-methyl nicotinamide (5MeN), 3-methoxybenzamide (3MBA) and caffeine to potentiate this cytotoxicity and that of UV light in V79A and V79/79 was measured. The degree of potentiation (ratio Do without inhibitor/Do with inhibitor) was both agent and cell line dependent. In general the lymphoid cell lines L1210 and YS showed greater potentiation, up to 4-fold, than did the fibroblast lines V79A and V79/79. The use of inhibitors in pairs suggested that 5MeN and 3MBA affect one process whereas caffeine affects additional processes. The data provide further support for a role for poly(ADP-ribose) in DNA repair, but indicate that metabolic factors may modify the effectiveness of individual inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase in different cell lines.

Abstract
Nicotinamide is methylated via S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) and excreted in the urine as N1-methylnicotinamide. Since S-adenosylethionine (AdoEth) inhibits nicotinamide methyltransferase, ethionine (0.75 mg/g body wt) was given to rats and its effect on the urinary excretion of N1-methylnicotinamide was examined. Nicotinamide (0.5 mg/g body wt) gave a 13.6-fold increase in the 24-h urine concentration of N1-methylnicotinamide. However, ethionine given 4 h prior to nicotinamide completely prevented this increase by nicotinamide. It appears at ethionine via AdoEth inhibits nicotinamide methyltransferase in vivo and lowers the urine level of N1-methylnicotinamide.

Abstract
Fusion of mononucleate myoblasts to form multinucleated myotubes increases when skeletal muscle cells are grown in progressively higher oxygen concentrations (5%, 20%, and 40% oxygen). At four days of growth fusion of myoblasts (as expressed by the percent of all muscle nuclei that are located in myotubes) is 57 +/- 2% in 5% oxygen, 68 +/- 1% in 20% oxygen, and 78 +/- 2% in 40% oxygen (P less than 0.001). However, at a concentration of 40%, oxygen depresses the rate of cell division and thereby affects the number of myoblasts available for fusion. Thus, oxygen concentration significantly modifies growth of skeletal muscle in vitro. Its net effect on myotube formation results from the interaction of its separate effects to enhance cell fusion and to depress cell proliferation.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase is a eukaryotic chromosomal enzyme which utilizes the ADP-ribose moiety of NAD to synthesize the nucleic acid homopolymer (ADP-ribose)n (ref. 1). The precise function of (ADP-ribose)n has not been fully established although it does covalently modify chromosomal proteins by ADP-ribosylation. Here we demonstrate that gamma-ray irradiation of lymphoblastoid cells from normal subjects results in depressed DNA synthesis and increased (ADP-ribose)n synthesis. Irradiation of lymphoblastoid cells from patients with the autosomal recessive disease ataxia telangiectasia (AT), however, failed to depress DNA synthesis and did not elevate (ADP-ribose)n levels. We have confirmed that (ADP-ribose)n is synthesized in response to DNA damage and we propose that this polymer may function in the recovery from DNA damage by suppressing DNA synthesis.

Abstract
Inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase show a synergistic potentiation of cytotoxicity with certain DNA-damaging agents. Non-toxic concentrations of 5-methylnicotinamide dramatically potentiate the cytotoxicity of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea as tested by the cloning ability of mouse leukaemia (L1210) cells. A dose-enhancement factor of about 10 is observed. This potentiation is dependent on the concentration of 5-methylnicotinamide. The methylxanthines theobromine, theophylline and caffeine also increase the cytotoxicity of methylnitrosourea. Thymidine, in the presence of sufficient deoxycytidine to overcome the perturbation of deoxynucleotide metabolism, also potentiates the cytotoxicity of methylnitrosourea. Nicotinate, which is not an inhibitor of poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase, has no effect on methylnitrosourea toxicity. A very small, but consistent, enhancement of the toxicity of gamma-radiation by the same inhibitors has been observed. We suggest that this potentiation of cytotoxicity is mediated by inhibition of (ADP-ribose)n biosynthesis; and that the biosynthesis is stimulated by DNA damage. We therefore propose that (ADP-ribose)n takes part in cellular repair mechanisms, either by modifying chromatin structure or by a specific participation in DNA repair.

Abstract
Chromatin proteins are covalently modified by at least five different processes; in no case has the precise physiological function been established. One of these post-synthetic, covalent modifications is effected by the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, which uses the coenzyme NAD+ to ADP-ribosylate chromatin proteins. The modification consists largely of mono(ADP-ribose), but long, homopolymer chains of (ADP-ribose) are also present. Various physiological functions have been suggested for (ADP-ribose)n. Here we demonstrate that one function of (ADP-ribose)n is to participate in the cellular recovery from DNA damage. Specific inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase prevent rejoining of DNA strand breaks caused by dimethyl sulphate and cytotoxicity is enhanced thereby. The rejoining of strand breaks is prevented also by nutritionally depleting the cells of NAD.

Abstract
The causal relation between cardiac function and growth is analyzed in this review article. Three different levels of development are discussed: cytodifferentiation, embryogenesis and postnatal development. The earliest stage of cardiac morphogenesis, that is, the appearance of cell-specific proteins and of spontaneous contractions, appears to be independent of hemodynamic forces. Also, the first major morphologic transformation of the primitive heart, looping, is the intrinsic property of the heart itself. However, at any later stage of life, hemodynamic function in both health and disease is closely coupled to cardiac growth.

Abstract
CHO cells and cs-4-D3 cells were used to investigate the association between poly(ADP-rib) synthesis and the cessation of DNA synthesis and DNA fragmentation. The cs4-D3 cells are cold-sensitive DNA synthesis arrest mutants of CHO cells. Upon incubation at 33 degrees C, DNA synthesis in the cs4-D3 cells stops and the cells enter a prolonged G1 or G0 phase. The events that occurred when cs4 cells were incubated at 33 degrees C were similar to those that occurred when wild-type CHO cells grew to high density. (1) In both cases, DNA synthesis and cell growth stopped. (2) The NAD+ concentration/cell was 20-25% lower in growth-arrested cells than in logarithmically growing cells. (3) Poly(ADP-rib) synthesis was 3-4 fold higher in growth-arrested cells than in logarithmically growing cells. (4) The growth-inhibited cells developed DNA strand breaks which resulted in large percentages of their DNA appearing in the low molecular weight range of alkaline sucrose gradients. (5) Both the increased rate of poly(ADP-rib) synthesis and the development of DNA strand breaks appears to be characteristic of the G1 phase of the cell cycle. (6) When growth-inhibited cells were restored to conditions favorable for DNA synthesis and cell growth, the DNA strand breaks were repaired. (7) Prolonged incubation under growth-restrictive conditions resulted in the accumulation of more DNA strand breaks than the cells could repair. This was followed by cell death when the cells were restored to conditions favorable for cell growth.

Abstract
Histochemical and biochemical studies were carried out on the inhibition of alkaline phosphatase (A1-P) activity in rat cerebral cortex with various methylxanthine derivatives. The histochemical study revealed that A1-P activity was completely inhibited with 2 mM theophylline or aminophylline, only slightly inhibited with 5 mM of xanthine, and no way inhibited even with 5 mM of diprophylline or caffeine. The biochemical study showed that A1-P activity was markedly inhibited by 1 mM theophylline, to 36% of the control value, and equally markedly by 1 mM aminophylline to 26% of the control value. It was only inhibited to 99% of the control value even by 5 mM diprophylline and conversely slightly activated, to 110% of the control value, by caffeine. The relationship between the pharmacological activities of methylxanthine derivatives and A1-P was studied, and the biological role of A1-P in the central nervous system was also discussed.

Abstract
Three forms of DNA polymerase (alpha, beta and gamma) were separated from isolated rat myocardial cells on the basis of template, pH and ionic requirements, sensitivity to N-ethylmaleimide and position on sucrose gradients. Tri-iodothyronine administration (20mug/100g intraperitoneally) to 3-week-old rats resulted in selective stimulation of DNA polymerase-alpha (198+/-7.1 versus 102+/-5.8pmol of [(3)H]dTMP/30min per mg of protein in untreated controls, P<0.01), with no change in polymerases-beta and -gamma. [(3)H]Thymidine incorporation into myocardial DNA was also enhanced in tri-iodothyronine-treated neonatal rats (132+/-11.2 versus 53+/-4.1c.p.m./mug of DNA in controls, P<0.001). Increased incorporation was associated with an expansion of deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate pools, especially that of dTTP (24+/-1.6 versus 10+/-1.1pmol/mg of DNA, P<0.01). Neither DNA polymerase activities nor [(3)H]thymidine incorporation were changed in 6-month-old rats in response to tri-iodothyronine. Unstimulated adult myocardial cells had DNA polymerase activities comparable with those in 3-week-old animals, but significantly lower [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate concentrations. Enhancement of both DNA polymerase-alpha activity and [(3)H]thymidine incorporation in tri-iodothyronine-treated young rats was prevented by concomitant administration of either vinblastine (1mug/g) or daunomycin (2mug/g); actinomycin D (0.1mug/g) or cycloheximide (8mug/g), on the other hand, prevented the increase in [(3)H]thymidine incorporation, but not DNA polymerase-alpha activation. These results demonstrate an age-dependent stimulation of myocardial DNA replication by tri-iodothyronine and suggest an inter-relationship between DNA synthesis and subsequent entry into mitosis.

Abstract
Using eukaryotic cells that have been rendered permeable to exogenously supplied nucleotides, we have characterized the activity of the poly(adenosine diphosphoribose) (poly(ADPR)) synthesis system and compared it to the DNA synthesis complex. The synthesis of poly(ADPR) is dependent on the presence of NAD and Mg2+. It does not require ATP, NaF or a monovalent cation. It is inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide. The reaction product conforms to the nuclease susceptibilities expected for poly(ADP ribose) in that it is degraded by venom phosphodiesterase but not by DNAase of RNAase. A comparison of the effects of inhibitors of poly(ADPR) synthesis and DNA synthesis clearly distinguishes between the two enzymatic systems. Nicotinamide, 5-methyl nicotinamide, thymidine, 5-bromo deoxyuridine, adenosine diphosphoribose, caffeine and formycin all inhibit poly(ADPR) synthesis but not DNA synthesis. In contrast, araCTP, cytembena and phosphonoacetic acid all inhibit DNA synthesis but not poly(ADPR) synthesis. Addition of DNAase to the permeable cells causes a marked stimulation of poly(ADPR) synthesis. L cells in logarithmic growth were found to have high levels of activity of the DNA synthesis complex and low levels of activity of the poly(ADPR) synthesis system. In contrast, cells at plateau phase density demonstrate a decrease in the activity of the DNA synthesis complex and a marked increase in activity of the poly(ADPR) synthesis system. When examined in the presence of added DNAase, the activity of the poly(ADPR) synthesis system is the same in cells obtained from log or plateau phase cultures. This indicates that the physiologic activity of the enzyme varies while the total amount of enzyme remains constant. When the permeable cells are allowed to synthesize both poly(ADPR) and DNA simultaneously, the synthesis of one polymer has no effect on the rate of synthesis of the other.

Abstract
A permeable cell technique has been used to measure the synthesis of DNA and poly(adenosine diphosphoribose) (poly(ADPR)) in mouse L cells subjected to different perturbations of cell growth. Cells leaving log phase growth and entering plateau phase, showed a decrease in DNA synthesis and an associated increase in intrinsic poly(ADPR) synthesis. In contrast to the variations in intrinsic poly(ADPR) synthesis, the total poly(ADPR) synthesis activity, measured in the presence of added DNAase, remained relatively constant during the fluctuations in cell growth status. Cells subjected to acute glucose deficiency also demonstrated a decrease in DNA synthesis and an associated increase in intrinsic poly(ADPR) synthesis. Similarly, cells infected with vaccinia virus demonstrated an abrupt cessation of DNA synthesis associated with an increase in poly(ADPR) synthesis. Treatment of cells with cytosine arabinoside, inhibited cellular DNA synthesis. This was also associated with an increase in the intrinsic activity of poly(ADPR) synthesis. However, in this case, the increase in poly(ADPR) synthesis was associated with an increase in activity of the DNA synthesis complex, despite the overall inhibition of cell DNA synthesis. These studies demonstrate, that in mouse L cells, suppression of DNA synthesis by multiple different physiologic mechanisms is always associated with an increase in intrinsic activity of poly(ADPR) synthesis.
