[PMID: 39068717 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) have emerged as significant targets in tumor therapy, garnering widespread attention. In this study, we designed and synthesized two novel phthalazinone PARP-1 inhibitors and dual PARP-1/HDAC-1 inhibitors, named DLC-1-46 containing dithiocarboxylate fragments and DLC-47-63 containing hydroxamic acid fragments, and evaluated their inhibitory activities on enzymes and cells. Among the PARP-1 inhibitors, most compounds exhibited high inhibitory activity against the PARP-1 enzyme, with DLC-1-6 being particularly notable, showing IC50 values <0.2 nM. Notably, DLC-1 demonstrated significant anti-proliferative activity, with IC50 values for inhibiting the proliferation of MDA-MB-436, MDA-MB-231, and MCF-7 cells reaching 0.08, 26.39, and 1.01 μM, respectively. Further investigation revealed that DLC-1 arrested MDA-MB-231 cells in the G1 phase and induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Among the designed dual PARP-1/HDAC-1 inhibitors, several compounds exhibited potent dual-target inhibitory activity, with DLC-49 displaying IC50 values of 0.53 nM and 17 nM for PARP-1 and HDAC-1, respectively. DLC-50 demonstrated the most potent anti-proliferative activity, with IC50 values for inhibiting the proliferation of MDA-MB-436, MDA-MB-231, and MCF-7 cells at 0.30, 2.70, and 2.41 μM, respectively. Cell cycle arrest and apoptosis assays indicated that DLC-50 arrested the cell cycle in the G2 phase and induced apoptosis in HCT-116 cells. Our findings present a novel avenue for further exploration of PARP-1 inhibitors and dual PARP-1/HDAC-1 inhibitors.

Exp Mol Med 2024:10.1038/s12276-024-01322-y. [PMID: 39349831 DOI: 10.1038/s12276-024-01322-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 10/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Vascular calcification (VC) refers to the accumulation of mineral deposits on the walls of arteries and veins, and it is closely associated with increased mortality in cardiovascular disease patients, particularly among high-risk patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Neuronal precursor cell-expressed developmentally downregulated protein 8 (NEDD8) is a ubiquitin-like protein that plays a pivotal role in various cellular functions, primarily through its conjugation to target proteins and subsequent relay of biological signals. However, the role of NEDDylation in VC has not been investigated. In our study, we observed that MLN4924, an inhibitor of the NEDD8-activating E1 enzyme, effectively impedes the progression of VC. LC‒MS/MS analysis revealed that poly(ADP‒ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) is subjected to NEDD8 conjugation, leading to an increase in PARP-1 activity during VC. We subsequently revealed that PARP-1 NEDDylation is mediated by the E3 ligase CBL proto-oncogene B (CBL-b) and is reversed by NEDD8-specific protease 1 (NEDP-1) during VC. Furthermore, the CBL-b C373 peptide effectively mitigated the inactive form of the E3 ligase activity of CBL-b, ultimately preventing VC. These findings provide compelling evidence that the NEDD8-dependent activation of PARP-1 represents a novel mechanism underlying vascular calcification and suggests a promising new therapeutic target for VC.

[PMID: 39294821 PMCID: PMC11409631 DOI: 10.1186/s41021-024-00312-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 09/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a pan nuclear protein that utilizes NAD+ as a substrate for poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation reaction (PARylation), resulting in both auto-modification and the modification of its accepter proteins. Earlier reports suggested that several nucleolar proteins interact and colocalize with PARP-1, leading to their PARylation. However, whether PARP-1 has any role in nucleolar biogenesis and the functional relevance of such a role is still obscure. RESULTS Using PARP-1 depleted cells, we investigated the function of PARP-1 in maintaining the nucleolar morphology and protein levels under normal physiological conditions. Our results revealed that several nucleolar proteins like nucleolin, fibrillarin, and nucleophosmin get up-regulated when PARP-1 is depleted. Additionally, in line with the higher accumulation of nucleolin, stably depleted PARP-1 cells show lower activation of caspase-3, lesser annexin-V staining, and reduced accumulation of AIF in the nucleus upon induction of oxidative stress. Concurrently, PARP-1 silenced cells showed higher mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and more fragmented and intermediate mitochondria than the parental counterpart, suggesting higher metabolic activity for better survival. CONCLUSION Based on our findings, we demonstrate that PARP-1 may have a role in regulating nucleolar protein levels and mitochondrial activity, thus maintaining the homeostasis between cell protective and cell death pathways, and such cell-protective mechanism could be implicated as the priming state of a pre-cancerous condition or tumour dormancy.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a neurological condition with high mortality and poor prognosis, and there are currently no effective therapeutic drugs available. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) dependent cell death pathway-parthanatos is closely associated with stroke. We investigated improvements in neurological function, oxidative stress, blood-brain barrier and parthanatos-related protein expression in rats with SAH after intraperitoneal administration of PARP-1 inhibitor (AG14361). Our study found that the expression of parthanatos-related proteins was significantly increased after SAH. Immunofluorescence staining showed increased expression of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) in the nucleus after SAH. Administration of PARP-1 inhibitor significantly reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) level and the expression of parthanatos-related proteins. Immunofluorescence staining showed that PARP-1 inhibitor reduced the expression of 8-hydroxy-2' -deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and thus reduced oxidative stress. Moreover, PARP-1 inhibitor could inhibit inflammation-associated proteins level and neuronal apoptosis, protect the blood-brain barrier and significantly improve neurological function after SAH. These results suggest that PARP-1 inhibitor can significantly improve SAH, and the underlying mechanism may be through inhibiting parthanatos pathway.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a highly conserved nuclear protein in multicellular organisms that by modulating chromatin opening facilitates gene expression during development. All reported Parp1 null knockout mouse strains are viable with no developmental anomalies. It was believed that functional redundancy with other PARP family members, mainly PARP2, explains such a controversy. However, while PARP2 has similar catalytic domain to PARP1, it lacks other domains, making the absence of developmental problems in Parp1 mice knockouts unlikely. Contrary to prior assumptions, in our analysis of the best-investigated Parp1 knockout mouse strain, we identified persistent mRNA expression, albeit at reduced levels. Transcript analysis revealed an alternatively spliced Parp1 variant lacking exon 2. Subsequent protein analysis confirmed the existence of a truncated PARP1 protein in knockout mice. The decreased level of poly(ADP-ribose) (pADPr) was detected in Parp1 knockout embryonic stem (ES) cells with western blotting analysis, but immunofluorescence staining did not detect any difference in distribution or level of pADPr in nuclei of knockout ES cells. pADPr level in double Parp1 Parg mutant ES cells greatly exceeded its amount in normal and even in hypomorph Parg mutant ES cells, suggesting the presence of functionally active PARP1. Therefore, our findings challenge the conventional understanding of PARP1 depletion effects.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation is a reversible post-translational modification that plays a role as a signaling mechanism in various cellular processes. This modification is characterized by its structural diversity, highly dynamic nature, and short half-life. Hence, it is tightly regulated at many levels by cellular factors that fine-tune its formation, downstream signaling, and degradation that together impacts cellular outcomes. Poly-ADP-ribosylation is an essential signaling mechanism in the DNA damage response that mediates the recruitment of DNA repair factors to sites of DNA damage via their poly-ADP-ribose (PAR)-binding domains (PBDs). PAR readers, encoding PBDs, convey the PAR signal to mediate cellular outcomes that in some cases can be dictated by PAR structural diversity. Several PBD families have been identified, each with variable PAR-binding affinity and specificity, that also recognize and bind to distinct parts of the PAR chain. PARylation signaling has emerged as an attractive target for the treatment of specific cancer types, as the inhibition of PAR formation or degradation can selectively eliminate cancer cells with specific DNA repair defects and can enhance radiation or chemotherapy response. In this review, we summarize the key players of poly-ADP-ribosylation and its regulation and highlight PBDs as tools for studying PARylation dynamics and the expanding potential to target PARylation signaling in cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The histone variant macroH2A (mH2A), the most deviant variant, is about threefold larger than the conventional histone H2A and consists of a histone H2A-like domain fused to a large Non-Histone Region responsible for recruiting PARP-1 to chromatin. The available data suggest that the histone variant mH2A participates in the regulation of transcription, maintenance of heterochromatin, NAD+ metabolism, and double-strand DNA repair. RESULTS Here, we describe a novel function of mH2A, namely its implication in DNA oxidative damage repair through PARP-1. The depletion of mH2A affected both repair and cell survival after the induction of oxidative lesions in DNA. PARP-1 formed a specific complex with mH2A nucleosomes in vivo. The mH2A nucleosome-associated PARP-1 is inactive. Upon oxidative damage, mH2A is ubiquitinated, PARP-1 is released from the mH2A nucleosomal complex, and is activated. The in vivo-induced ubiquitination of mH2A, in the absence of any oxidative damage, was sufficient for the release of PARP-1. However, no release of PARP-1 was observed upon treatment of the cells with either the DNA alkylating agent MMS or doxorubicin. CONCLUSIONS Our data identify a novel pathway for the repair of DNA oxidative lesions, requiring the ubiquitination of mH2A for the release of PARP-1 from chromatin and its activation.

Abstract
The advent of polyadenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) has brought about significant changes in the field of ovarian cancer treatment. However, in 2022, Rucaparib, Olaparib, and Niraparib, had their marketing approval revoked for third-line and subsequent therapies due to an increased potential for adverse events. Consequently, the exploration of new treatment modalities remains imperative. Recently, the integration of PARPi with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has emerged as a potential remedy option within the context of ovarian cancer. This article offers a comprehensive examination of the mechanisms and applications of PARPi and ICIs in the treatment of ovarian cancer. It synthesizes the existing evidence supporting their combined use and discusses key considerations that merit attention in ongoing development efforts.

Abstract
Advanced epithelial ovarian cancer is the commonest cause of gynaecological cancer deaths. First-line treatment for advanced disease includes a combination of platinum-taxane chemotherapy (post-operatively or peri-operatively) and maximal debulking surgery whenever feasible. Initial response rate to chemotherapy is high (up to 80%) but most patients will develop recurrence (approximately 70-90%) and succumb to the disease. Recently, poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibition (by drugs such as Olaparib, Niraparib or Rucaparib) directed synthetic lethality approach in BRCA germline mutant or platinum sensitive disease has generated real hope for patients. PARP inhibitor (PARPi) maintenance therapy can prolong survival but therapeutic response is not sustained due to intrinsic or acquired secondary resistance to PARPi therapy. Reversion of BRCA1/2 mutation can lead to clinical PARPi resistance in BRCA-germline mutated ovarian cancer. However, in the more common platinum sensitive sporadic HGSOC, the clinical mechanisms of development of PARPi resistance remains to be defined. Here we provide a comprehensive review of the current status of PARPi and the mechanisms of resistance to therapy.

Abstract
The advent of the new coronavirus, leading to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, has presented a substantial worldwide health hazard since its inception in the latter part of 2019. The severity of the current pandemic is exacerbated by the occurrence of re-infection or co-infection with SARS-CoV-2. Hence, comprehending the molecular process underlying the pathophysiology of sepsis and discerning possible molecular targets for therapeutic intervention holds significant importance. For the first time, 31 metabolites were tentatively identified by GC-MS analysis from Alpinia malaccensis. On the other hand, five phenolic compounds were identified and quantified from the plant in HPLC-DAD analysis, including (-) epicatechin, rutin hydrate, rosmarinic acid, quercetin, and kaempferol. Nine GC-MS and five HPLC-identified metabolites had shown interactions with 45 and 30 COVID-19-associated human proteins, respectively. Among the proteins, PARP1, FN1, PRKCA, EGFR, ALDH2, AKR1C3, AHR, and IKBKB have been found as potential therapeutic targets to mitigate SARS-CoV-2 infection. KEGG pathway analysis also showed a strong association of FN1, EGFR, and IKBKB genes with SARS-CoV-2 viral replication and cytokine overexpression due to viral infection. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis also showed that TP53, MMP9, FN1, EGFR, and NOS2 proteins are highly related to the genes involved in COVID-19 comorbidity. These proteins showed interaction with the plant phytoconstituents as well. As the study offers a robust network-based procedure for identifying biomolecules relevant to COVID-19 disease, A. malaccensis could be a good source of effective therapeutic agents against COVID-19 and related viral diseases.

Abstract
Previous studies from our laboratory and others have established the dendritic cell (DC) as a key target of RSV that drives infection-induced pathology. Analysis of RSV-induced transcriptomic changes in RSV-infected DC revealed metabolic gene signatures suggestive of altered cellular metabolism. Reverse phase protein array (RPPA) data showed significantly increased PARP1 phosphorylation in RSV-infected DC. Real-time cell metabolic analysis demonstrated increased glycolysis in PARP1-/- DC after RSV infection, confirming a role for PARP1 in regulating DC metabolism. Our data show that enzymatic inhibition or genomic ablation of PARP1 resulted in increased ifnb1, il12, and il27 in RSV-infected DC which, together, promote a more appropriate anti-viral environment. PARP1-/- mice and PARP1-inhibitor-treated mice were protected against RSV-induced immunopathology including airway inflammation, Th2 cytokine production, and mucus hypersecretion. However, delayed treatment with PARP1 inhibitor in RSV-infected mice provided only partial protection, suggesting that PARP1 is most important during the earlier innate immune stage of RSV infection.

Abstract
Aging, marked by a gradual decline in physiological function and heightened vulnerability to age-related diseases, remains a complex biological process with multifaceted regulatory mechanisms. Our study elucidates the critical role of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG), responsible for catabolizing poly(ADP-ribose) (pADPr) in the aging process by modulating the expression of age-related genes in Drosophila melanogaster. Specifically, we uncover the regulatory function of the uncharacterized PARG C-terminal domain in controlling PARG activity. Flies lacking this domain exhibit a significantly reduced lifespan compared to wild-type counterparts. Furthermore, we observe progressive dysregulation of age-related gene expression during aging, accelerated in the absence of PARG activity, culminating in a premature aging phenotype. Our findings reveal the critical involvement of the pADPr pathway as a key player in the aging process, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for mitigating age-related effects.

Abstract
Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs) are serine/threonine protein kinases that play a crucial role in transmitting extracellular signals to the intracellular environment, influencing a wide range of cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, metabolic activities, immune function and stress response. MAPK4, a non-classical MAPK, is frequently overexpressed in various malignancies, including prostate, breast, cervix, thyroid, and gliomas. It orchestrates cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis via the AKT/mTOR and/or PDK1 signaling pathways, thus facilitating tumor cell growth. Furthermore, MAPK4 expression is closely associated with the effectiveness of specific inhibitors like PI3K and PARP1, and also correlate with the survival rates of cancer patients. Increasing evidence highlights MAPK4's involvement in the tumor microenvironment, modulating immune response and inflammation-related diseases. This review comprehensively explores the structure, function, and oncogenic role of MAPK4, providing a deeper understanding of its activation and mechanisms of action in tumorigenesis, which might be helpful for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies for cancer management.

Synergistic Antitumor Activity of Talazoparib and Temozolomide in Malignant Rhabdoid Tumors. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:2041. [PMID: 38893160 PMCID: PMC11171327 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16112041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRTs) are among the most aggressive and treatment-resistant malignancies affecting infants, originating in the kidney, brain, liver, and soft tissues. The 5-year event-free survival rate for these cancers is a mere 20%. In nearly all cases of MRT, the SMARCB1 gene (occasionally SMARCA4)-a pivotal component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex-is homozygously deleted, although the precise etiology of these tumors remains unknown. While young patients with localized MRT generally show improved outcomes, especially those who are older and have early-stage disease, the overall prognosis remains poor despite optimal standard treatments. This highlights the urgent need for more effective treatment strategies. We investigated the antitumor activity of a PARP1 inhibitor (talazoparib, TLZ) combined with a DNA alkylating agent (temozolomide, TMZ) in MRT xenograft models. PARP1 is a widely targeted molecule in cancer treatment and, beyond its role in DNA repair, it participates in transcriptional regulation by recruiting chromatin remodeling complexes to modulate DNA accessibility for RNA polymerases. To widen the therapeutic window of the drug combination, we employed PEGylated TLZ (PEG~TLZ), which has been reported to reduce systemic toxicity through slow drug release. Remarkably, our findings indicate that five out of six MRT xenografts exhibited an objective response to PEG~TLZ+TMZ therapy. Significantly, the loss of SMARCB1 was found to confer a protective effect, correlating with higher expression levels of DNA damage and repair proteins in SMARCB1-deficient MRT cells. Additionally, we identified MGMT as a potential biomarker indicative of in vivo MRT response to PEG~TLZ+TMZ therapy. Moreover, our analysis revealed alterations in signaling pathways associated with the observed antitumor efficacy. This study presents a novel and efficacious therapeutic approach for MRT, along with a promising candidate biomarker for predicting tumor response.

Abstract
Introduction Acanthamoeba infection is a serious public health concern, necessitating the development of effective and safe anti-Acanthamoeba chemotherapies. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) govern a colossal amount of biological processes, such as DNA damage repair, protein degradation and apoptosis. Multiple PARP-targeted compounds have been approved for cancer treatment. However, repurposing of PARP inhibitors to treat Acanthamoeba is poorly understood. Methods In the present study, we attempted to fill these knowledge gaps by performing anti-Acanthamoeba efficacy assays, cell biology experiments, bioinformatics, and transcriptomic analyses. Results Using a homology model of Acanthamoeba poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), molecular docking of approved drugs revealed three potential inhibitory compounds: olaparib, venadaparib and AZ9482. In particular, venadaparib exhibited superior docking scores (-13.71) and favorable predicted binding free energy (-89.28 kcal/mol), followed by AZ9482, which showed a docking score of -13.20 and a binding free energy of -92.13 kcal/mol. Notably, the positively charged cyclopropylamine in venadaparib established a salt bridge (through E535) and a hydrogen bond (via N531) within the binding pocket. For comparison, AZ9482 was well stacked by the surrounding aromatic residues including H625, Y652, Y659 and Y670. In an assessment of trophozoites viability, AZ9482 exhibited a dose-and time-dependent anti-trophozoite effect by suppressing Acanthamoeba PARP activity, unlike olaparib and venadaparib. An Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide apoptosis assay revealed AZ9482 induced trophozoite necrotic cell death rather than apoptosis. Transcriptomics analyses conducted on Acanthamoeba trophozoites treated with AZ9482 demonstrated an atlas of differentially regulated proteins and genes, and found that AZ9482 rapidly upregulates a multitude of DNA damage repair pathways in trophozoites, and intriguingly downregulates several virulent genes. Analyzing gene expression related to DNA damage repair pathway and the rate of apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites indicated DNA damage efficacy and repair modulation in Acanthamoeba trophozoites following AZ9482 treatment. Discussion Collectively, these findings highlight AZ9482, as a structurally unique PARP inhibitor, provides a promising prototype for advancing anti-Acanthamoeba drug research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Central nervous system (CNS) injury causes severe organ damage due to both damage resulting from the injury and subsequent cell death. However, there are currently no effective treatments for countering the irreversible loss of cell function. Parthanatos is a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1)-dependent form of programmed cell death that is partly responsible for neural cell death. Consequently, the mechanism by which parthanatos promotes CNS injury has attracted significant scientific interest. AIM OF REVIEW Our review aims to summarize the potential role of parthanatos in CNS injury and its molecular and pathophysiological mechanisms. Understanding the role of parthanatos and related molecules in CNS injury is crucial for developing effective treatment strategies and identifying important directions for future in-depth research. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW Parthanatos (from Thanatos, the personification of death according to Greek mythology) is a type of programmed cell death that is initiated by the overactivation of PARP-1. This process triggers a cascade of reactions, including the accumulation of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR), the nuclear translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) after its release from mitochondria, and subsequent massive DNA fragmentation caused by migration inhibitory factor (MIF) forming a complex with AIF. Secondary molecular mechanisms, such as excitotoxicity and oxidative stress-induced overactivation of PARP-1, significantly exacerbate neuronal damage following initial mechanical injury to the CNS. Furthermore, parthanatos is not only associated with neuronal damage but also interacts with various other types of cell death. This review focuses on the latest research concerning the parthanatos cell death pathway, particularly considering its regulatory mechanisms and functions in CNS damage. We highlight the associations between parthanatos and different cell types involved in CNS damage and discuss potential therapeutic agents targeting the parthanatos pathway.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are one of the prominent health challenges facing contemporary society, and many efforts have been made to overcome and (or) control it. In this research paper, we described a practical one-pot two-step three-component reaction between 3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one (1), aryl(or heteroaryl)glyoxal monohydrates (2a-h), and hydrazine monohydrate (NH2NH2•H2O) for the regioselective preparation of some 3-aryl(or heteroaryl)-5,6-dihydrobenzo[h]cinnoline derivatives (3a-h). After synthesis and characterization of the mentioned cinnolines (3a-h), the in silico multi-targeting inhibitory properties of these heterocyclic scaffolds have been investigated upon various Homo sapiens-type enzymes, including hMAO-A, hMAO-B, hAChE, hBChE, hBACE-1, hBACE-2, hNQO-1, hNQO-2, hnNOS, hiNOS, hPARP-1, hPARP-2, hLRRK-2(G2019S), hGSK-3β, hp38α MAPK, hJNK-3, hOGA, hNMDA receptor, hnSMase-2, hIDO-1, hCOMT, hLIMK-1, hLIMK-2, hRIPK-1, hUCH-L1, hPARK-7, and hDHODH, which have confirmed their functions and roles in the neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), based on molecular docking studies, and the obtained results were compared with a wide range of approved drugs and well-known (with IC50, EC50, etc.) compounds. In addition, in silico ADMET prediction analysis was performed to examine the prospective drug properties of the synthesized heterocyclic compounds (3a-h). The obtained results from the molecular docking studies and ADMET-related data demonstrated that these series of 3-aryl(or heteroaryl)-5,6-dihydrobenzo[h]cinnolines (3a-h), especially hit ones, can really be turned into the potent core of new drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), and/or due to the having some reactionable locations, they are able to have further organic reactions (such as cross-coupling reactions), and expansion of these compounds (for example, with using other types of aryl(or heteroaryl)glyoxal monohydrates) makes a new avenue for designing novel and efficient drugs for this purpose.

Abstract
PARP-1 is central to transcriptional regulation under both normal and stress conditions, with the governing mechanisms yet to be fully understood. Our biochemical and ChIP-seq-based analyses showed that PARP-1 binds specifically to active histone marks, particularly H4K20me1. We found that H4K20me1 plays a critical role in facilitating PARP-1 binding and the regulation of PARP-1-dependent loci during both development and heat shock stress. Here, we report that the sole H4K20 mono-methylase, pr-set7, and parp-1 Drosophila mutants undergo developmental arrest. RNA-seq analysis showed an absolute correlation between PR-SET7- and PARP-1-dependent loci expression, confirming co-regulation during developmental phases. PARP-1 and PR-SET7 are both essential for activating hsp70 and other heat shock genes during heat stress, with a notable increase of H4K20me1 at their gene body. Mutating pr-set7 disrupts monomethylation of H4K20 along heat shock loci and abolish PARP-1 binding there. These data strongly suggest that H4 monomethylation is a key triggering point in PARP-1 dependent processes in chromatin.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation), catalyzed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) and hydrolyzed by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG), is a kind of post-translational protein modification that is involved in various cellular processes in fungi, plants, and mammals. However, the function of PARPs in plant pathogenic fungi remains unknown. The present study investigated the roles and mechanisms of FonPARP1 in watermelon Fusarium wilt fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (Fon). Fon has a single PARP FonPARP1 and one PARG FonPARG1. FonPARP1 is an active PARP and contributes to Fon pathogenicity through regulating its invasive growth within watermelon plants, while FonPARG1 is not required for Fon pathogenicity. A serine/threonine protein kinase, FonKin4, was identified as a FonPARP1-interacting partner by LC-MS/MS. FonKin4 is required for vegetative growth, conidiation, macroconidia morphology, abiotic stress response and pathogenicity of Fon. The S_TKc domain is sufficient for both enzyme activity and pathogenicity function of FonKin4 in Fon. FonKin4 phosphorylates FonPARP1 in vitro to enhance its poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity; however, FonPARP1 does not PARylate FonKin4. These results establish the FonKin4-FonPARP1 phosphorylation cascade that positively contributes to Fon pathogenicity. The present study highlights the importance of PARP-catalyzed protein PARylation in regulating the pathogenicity of Fon and other plant pathogenic fungi.

Melikishvili M, Fried MG, Fondufe-Mittendorf YN. Cooperative nucleic acid binding by Poly ADP-ribose polymerase 1. Sci Rep 2024; 14:7530. [PMID: 38553566 PMCID: PMC10980755 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-58076-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Poly (ADP)-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1) is an abundant nuclear protein well-known for its role in DNA repair yet also participates in DNA replication, transcription, and co-transcriptional splicing, where DNA is undamaged. Thus, binding to undamaged regions in DNA and RNA is likely a part of PARP1's normal repertoire. Here we describe analyses of PARP1 binding to two short single-stranded DNAs, a single-stranded RNA, and a double stranded DNA. The investigations involved comparing the wild-type (WT) full-length enzyme with mutants lacking the catalytic domain (∆CAT) or zinc fingers 1 and 2 (∆Zn1∆Zn2). All three protein types exhibited monomeric characteristics in solution and formed saturated 2:1 complexes with single-stranded T20 and U20 oligonucleotides. These complexes formed without accumulation of 1:1 intermediates, a pattern suggestive of positive binding cooperativity. The retention of binding activities by ∆CAT and ∆Zn1∆Zn2 enzymes suggests that neither the catalytic domain nor zinc fingers 1 and 2 are indispensable for cooperative binding. In contrast, when a double stranded 19mer DNA was tested, WT PARP1 formed a 4:1 complex while the ∆Zn1Zn2 mutant binding saturated at 1:1 stoichiometry. These deviations from the 2:1 pattern observed with T20 and U20 oligonucleotides show that PARP's binding mechanism can be influenced by the secondary structure of the nucleic acid. Our studies show that PARP1:nucleic acid interactions are strongly dependent on the nucleic acid type and properties, perhaps reflecting PARP1's ability to respond differently to different nucleic acid ligands in cells. These findings lay a platform for understanding how the functionally versatile PARP1 recognizes diverse oligonucleotides within the realms of chromatin and RNA biology.

Abstract
Catalytic poly(ADP-ribose) production by PARP1 is allosterically activated through interaction with DNA breaks, and PARP inhibitor compounds have the potential to influence PARP1 allostery in addition to preventing catalytic activity. Using the benzimidazole-4-carboxamide pharmacophore present in the first generation PARP1 inhibitor veliparib, a series of 11 derivatives was designed, synthesized, and evaluated as allosteric PARP1 inhibitors, with the premise that bulky substituents would engage the regulatory helical domain (HD) and thereby promote PARP1 retention on DNA breaks. We found that core scaffold modifications could indeed increase PARP1 affinity for DNA; however, the bulk of the modification alone was insufficient to trigger PARP1 allosteric retention on DNA breaks. Rather, compounds eliciting PARP1 retention on DNA breaks were found to be rigidly held in a position that interferes with a specific region of the HD domain, a region that is not targeted by current clinical PARP inhibitors. Collectively, these compounds highlight a unique way to trigger PARP1 retention on DNA breaks and open a path to unveil the pharmacological benefits of such inhibitors with novel properties.

Abstract
Cancer is a disease with a high mortality rate characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal cells. The hallmarks of cancer evidence the acquired cells characteristics that promote the growth of malignant tumours, including genomic instability and mutations, the ability to evade cellular death and the capacity of sustaining proliferative signalization. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) is a protein that plays key roles in cellular regulation, namely in DNA damage repair and cell survival. The inhibition of PARP1 promotes cellular death in cells with homologous recombination deficiency, and therefore, the interest in PARP protein has been rising as a target for anticancer therapies. There are already some PARP1 inhibitors approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA), such as Olaparib and Niraparib. The last compound presents in its structure an indazole core. In fact, pyrazoles and indazoles have been raising interest due to their various medicinal properties, namely, anticancer activity. Derivatives of these compounds have been studied as inhibitors of PARP1 and presented promising results. Therefore, this review aims to address the importance of PARP1 in cell regulation and its role in cancer. Moreover, it intends to report a comprehensive literature review of PARP1 inhibitors, containing the pyrazole and indazole scaffolds, published in the last fifteen years, focusing on structure-activity relationship aspects, thus providing important insights for the design of novel and more effective PARP1 inhibitors.

Abstract
The chromatin remodeler ALC1 is activated by DNA damage-induced poly(ADP-ribose) deposited by PARP1/PARP2 and their co-factor HPF1. ALC1 has emerged as a cancer drug target, but how it is recruited to ADP-ribosylated nucleosomes to affect their positioning near DNA breaks is unknown. Here we find that PARP1/HPF1 preferentially initiates ADP-ribosylation on the histone H2B tail closest to the DNA break. To dissect the consequences of such asymmetry, we generate nucleosomes with a defined ADP-ribosylated H2B tail on one side only. The cryo-electron microscopy structure of ALC1 bound to such an asymmetric nucleosome indicates preferential engagement on one side. Using single-molecule FRET, we demonstrate that this asymmetric recruitment gives rise to directed sliding away from the DNA linker closest to the ADP-ribosylation site. Our data suggest a mechanism by which ALC1 slides nucleosomes away from a DNA break to render it more accessible to repair factors.

Abstract
The principal understanding of the Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) regulation of genomes has been focused on its role in DNA repair; however, in the past few years, an additional role for PARPs and PARylation has emerged in regulating viral-host interactions. In particular, in the context of DNA virus infection, PARP1-mediated mechanisms of gene regulations, such as the involvement with cellular protein complexes responsible for the folding of the genome into the nucleus, the formation of chromatin loops connecting distant regulatory genomic regions, and other methods of transcriptional regulation, provide additional ways through which PARPs can modulate the function of both the host and the viral genomes during viral infection. In addition, potential viral amplification of the activity of PARPs on the host genome can contribute to the pathogenic effect of viral infection, such as viral-driven oncogenesis, opening the possibility that PARP inhibition may represent a potential therapeutic approach to target viral infection. This review will focus on the role of PARPs, particularly PARP1, in regulating the infection of DNA viruses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) play a vital role in tendon repair, regeneration and homeostasis. However, the specific mechanism of TSPCs aging is still unclear. OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the role and molecular mechanism of HPF1 in the aging of TSPCs. METHODS Young and aged TSPCs (Y-TSPCs and A-TSPCs) were acquired from 3 to 4 and 24-26-month-old Sprague-Dawley male rats, TSPCs (Y-TSPCs and A-TSPCs) were subjected to senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal))staining and telomerase activity detection, p16, p21, Scx, Tnmd, Col1, Col3HPF1 and PAPR1 expression levels were detected by Western blot or Reverse Transcription-quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR), Reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) was used to explore the interaction between HPF1 and PARP1. Ribonucleoprotein immunoprecipitation (RNP-IP) was used to analyze the binding of HuR to the senescence marker gene mRNAs, IP was used to perform HPF1 to the PARylation of HuR, and the half-life of p16 and p21 were detected. Finally, we established an in vivo model, and the tendon tissue was used to perform hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and masson's trichrome staining, as well as the immunohistochemical analysis of Col I and TNMD. RESULTS Compared with Y-TSPCs, A-TSPCs had significantly enhanced cell senescence and significantly reduced tendon differentiation ability, and significantly increased the expression of HPF1 and PARP1. In addition, HPF1 and PARP1 interacted and coordinated the senescence and differentiation of TSPCs, HPF1 could also regulate the expression of p21 and p21, the interaction of p16 or p21 with HuR, and the poly-ADP ribosylation of PARP1 to HuR. HPF1 overexpression and siHuR co-transfection significantly reduced the half-life of p16 and p21, and HPF1 and PARP1 regulated the mRNA levels of p16 and p21 through HuR. Finally, in vivo experiments have shown that HPF1 or PARP1 overexpression could both inhibit the ability of tendon differentiation and promote cell senescence. CONCLUSIONS HPF1 promoted the senescence of TSPCs and inhibits the tendon differentiation of TSPCs through PARP1-mediated poly-ADP ribosylation of HuR.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major global health concern, representing one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. Despite various treatment options, the prognosis for HCC patients remains poor, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to HCC development. This study investigates the role of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in hepatocyte maturation and its impact on hepatobiliary carcinogenesis. A conditional Parg knockout mouse model was employed, utilizing Cre recombinase under the albumin promoter to target Parg depletion specifically in hepatocytes. The disruption of the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ating pathway in hepatocytes affects the early postnatal liver development. The inability of hepatocytes to finish the late maturation step that occurs early after birth causes intensive apoptosis and acute inflammation, resulting in hypertrophic liver tissue with enlarged hepatocytes. Regeneration nodes with proliferative hepatocytes eventually replace the liver tissue and successfully fulfill the liver function. However, early developmental changes predispose these types of liver to develop pathologies, including with a malignant nature, later in life. In a chemically induced liver cancer model, Parg-depleted livers displayed a higher tendency for hepatocellular carcinoma development. This study underscores the critical role of the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ating pathway in hepatocyte maturation and highlights its involvement in liver pathologies and hepatobiliary carcinogenesis. Understanding these processes may provide valuable insights into liver biology and liver-related diseases, including cancer.

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.

Abstract
Diverse drug design strategies viz. molecular hybridization, substituent installation, scaffold hopping, isosteric replacement, high-throughput screening, induction and separation of chirality, structure modifications of phytoconstituents and use of structural templates have been exhaustively leveraged in the last decade to load the chemical toolbox of PARP inhibitors. Resultantly, numerous promising scaffolds have been pinpointed that in turn have led to the resuscitation of the credence to PARP inhibitors as cancer therapeutics. This review briefly presents the physiological functions of PARPs, the pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics, and the interaction profiles of FDA-approved PARP inhibitors. Comprehensively covered is the section on the drug design strategies employed by drug discovery enthusiasts for furnishing PARP inhibitors. The impact of structural variations in the template of designed scaffolds on enzymatic and cellular activity (structure-activity relationship studies) has been discussed. The insights gained through the biological evaluation such as profiling of physicochemical properties andin vitroADME properties, PK assessments, and high-dose pharmacology are covered.

Abstract
Metabolism, known to be temporally regulated to meet evolving energy demands, plays a crucial role in shaping developmental pace. Recent studies have demonstrated that two key proteins PARP1 and PARG play a regulatory role in the transcription of both morphogenic and metabolic genes. Intriguingly, in Drosophila, the depletion of PARP1 or PARG proteins causes a developmental arrest before pupation, resulting in individuals unable to complete their development. This phenotype highlights the critical involvement of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ating enzymes in regulating the metamorphic process. In this study, we provide compelling evidence that these enzymes intricately coordinate transcriptional changes in both developmental and metabolic pathways during metamorphosis. Specifically, they promote the expression of genes crucial for pupation, while simultaneously negatively regulating the expression of metabolic genes before the transition to the pupal stage. Additionally, these enzymes suppress the expression of genes that are no longer required during this transformative period. Our findings shed light on the intricate interplay between poly(ADP-ribosyl)ating enzymes, developmental processes, and metabolic regulation before metamorphosis and highlight a new role of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ating enzymes in the global regulation of transcription.

Abstract
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the fatal type of DNA damage mostly induced by exposure genome to ionizing radiation or genotoxic chemicals. DSBs are mainly repaired by homologous recombination (HR) and nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). To repair DSBs, a large amount of DNA repair factors was observed to be concentrated at the end of DSBs in a specific spatiotemporal manner to form a repair center. Recently, this repair center was characterized as a condensate derived from liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of key DSBs repair factors. LLPS has been found to be the mechanism of membraneless organelles formation and plays key roles in a variety of biological processes. In this review, the recent advances and mechanisms of LLPS in the formation of DSBs repair-related condensates are summarized.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is predominantly catalyzed by Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) in response to DNA damage, mediating the DNA repair process to maintain genomic integrity. Single-strand (SSB) and double-strand (DSB) DNA breaks are bona fide stimulators of PARP1 activity. However, PAR-mediated PARP1 regulation remains unexplored. Here, we report ZnF3, BRCT, and WGR, hitherto uncharacterized, as PAR reader domains of PARP1. Surprisingly, these domains recognize PARylated protein with a higher affinity compared with PAR but bind with weak or no affinity to DNA breaks as standalone domains. Conversely, ZnF1 and ZnF2 of PARP1 recognize DNA breaks but bind weakly to PAR. In addition, PAR reader domains, together, exhibit a synergy to recognize PAR or PARylated protein. Further competition-binding studies suggest that PAR binding releases DNA from PARP1, and the WGR domain facilitates DNA release. Unexpectedly, PAR showed catalytic stimulation of PARP1 but hampered the DNA-dependent stimulation. Altogether, our work discovers dedicated high-affinity PAR reader domains of PARP1 and uncovers a novel mechanism of allosteric regulation of DNA-dependent and DNA-independent activities of PARP1 by its catalytic product PAR.

Abstract
Sulfoquinovosyl acylpropanediol (SQAP; a synthetic derivative of the sulfoglycolipid natural product sulfoquinovosyl acylglycerol, SQAG), has anti-tumor and radiosensitizing activities in tumor xenograft mouse models. Here, we have studied the PARP inhibitory activity of SQAP and synthetic lethality in BRCA2-deficient cells. In initial screening studies with DNA repair-deficient Chinese hamster ovary cells, homologous recombination repair-deficient cell lines showed increased sensitivity to SQAP, compared to wild-type cells or other DNA repair-deficient mutants. Chinese hamster lung V79 cells and the derivative cell lines V-C8 (BRCA2-deficient) and V-C8 + BRCA2 gene corrections were used to test the role of BRCA2 in SQAP cytotoxicity. The findings were confirmed in studies of the human colon cancer cell lines DLD-1 and its BRCA2-knockout derivative. SQAP inhibited the enzymes poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). SQAP pretreatment decreased H2O2induced poly(ADP-ribose) formation in V79 cells. SQAP caused DNA double-strand breaks and chromosome aberrations in V79 BRCA2-mutated cells but did not affect cells in the G2 phase. We have demonstrated that SQAP induces synthetic lethality in BRCA2-deficient Chinese hamster-derived cells via its effects on poly(ADP-ribose) metabolism, motivating further examination of its therapeutic potential, especially against tumors that are deficient in homologous recombination repair due to mutations in BRCA2 or other genes.

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.

A computational model of the DNA damage-induced IKK/ NF-κB pathway reveals a critical dependence on irradiation dose and PARP-1. iScience 2023; 26:107917.

Abstract
The activation of IKK/NF-κB by genotoxic stress is a crucial process in the DNA damage response. Due to the anti-apoptotic impact of NF-κB, it can affect cell-fate decisions upon DNA damage and therefore interfere with tumor therapy-induced cell death. Here, we developed a dynamical model describing IKK/NF-κB signaling that faithfully reproduces quantitative time course data and enables a detailed analysis of pathway regulation. The approach elucidates a pathway topology with two hubs, where the first integrates signals from two DNA damage sensors and the second forms a coherent feedforward loop. The analyses reveal a critical role of the sensor protein PARP-1 in the pathway regulation. Introducing a method for calculating the impact of changes in individual components on pathway activity in a time-resolved manner, we show how irradiation dose influences pathway activation. Our results give a mechanistic understanding relevant for the interpretation of experimental and clinical studies.

Hypoxia-induced SKA3 promoted cholangiocarcinoma progression and chemoresistance by enhancing fatty acid synthesis via the regulation of PAR-dependent HIF-1a deubiquitylation. J Exp Clin Cancer Res 2023; 42:265. [PMID: 37821935 PMCID: PMC10565972 DOI: 10.1186/s13046-023-02842-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Spindle and kinetochore-associated complex subunit 3 (SKA3) plays an important role in cell proliferation by regulating the separation of chromosomes and their division into daughter cells. Previous studies demonstrated that SKA3 was strongly implicated in tumor development and progression. However, the roles of SKA3 in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed with paired CCA tissues and normal adjacent tissues (NATs). SKA3 was chose to be the target gene because of its remarkably upregulation and unknown function in cholangiocarcinoma in TCGA datasets, GSE107943 datasets and our sequencing results. RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry staining were used to detect the expression of SKA3 in paired CCA tissues and normal adjacent tissues. The SKA3 knockdown and overexpression cell line were constructed by small interfering RNA and lentivirus vector transfection. The effect of SKA3 on the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma under hypoxic conditions was detected by experiments in vitro and in vivo. RNA-seq was used to find out the differentially expressed pathways in cholangiocarcinoma proliferation under hypoxia regulated by SKA3. IP/MS analysis and Western blot assays were used to explore the specific mechanism of SKA3 in regulating the expression of HIF-1a under hypoxia. RESULTS SKA3 was up-regulated in NGS, TCGA and GSE107943 databases and was associated with poor prognosis. Functional experiments in vitro and in vivo showed that hypoxia-induced SKA3 promoted cholangiocarcinoma cell proliferation. RNA-sequencing was performed and verified that SKA3 enhanced fatty acid synthesis by up-regulating the expression of key fatty acid synthase, thus promoting cholangiocarcinoma cell proliferation under hypoxic conditions. Further studies indicated that under hypoxic conditions, SKA3 recruited PARP1 to bind to HIF-1a, thus enhancing the poly ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) of HIF-1a. This PARylation enhanced the binding between HIF-1a and USP7, which triggered the deubiquitylation of HIF-1a under hypoxic conditions. Additionally, PARP1 and HIF-1a were upregulated in CCA and promoted CCA cell proliferation. SKA3 promoted CCA cell proliferation and fatty acid synthesis via the PARP1/HIF-1a axis under hypoxic conditions. High SKA3 and HIF-1a expression levels were associated with poor prognosis after surgery. CONCLUSION Hypoxia-induced SKA3 promoted CCA progression by enhancing fatty acid synthesis via the regulation of PARylation-dependent HIF-1a deubiquitylation. Furthermore, increased SKA3 level enhanced chemotherapy-resistance to gemcitabine-based regimen under hypoxic conditions. SKA3 and HIF-1a could be potential oncogenes and significant biomarkers for the analysis of CCA patient prognosis.

Abstract
E4F transcription factor 1 (E4F1), a member of the GLI-Kruppel family of zinc finger proteins, is now widely recognized as a transcription factor. It plays a critical role in regulating various cell processes, including cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and necrosis, DNA damage response, and cell metabolism. These processes involve intricate molecular regulatory networks, making E4F1 an important mediator in cell biology. Moreover, E4F1 has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of a range of human diseases. In this review, we provide an overview of the major advances in E4F1 research, from its first report to the present, including studies on its protein domains, molecular mechanisms of transcriptional regulation and biological functions, and implications for human diseases. We also address unresolved questions and potential research directions in this field. This review provides insights into the essential roles of E4F1 in human health and disease and may pave the way for facilitating E4F1 from basic research to clinical applications.

Abstract
The timely removal of ADP-ribosylation is crucial for efficient DNA repair. However, much remains to be discovered about ADP-ribosylhydrolases. Here, we characterize the physiological role of TARG1, an ADP-ribosylhydrolase that removes aspartate/glutamate-linked ADP-ribosylation. We reveal its function in the DNA damage response and show that the loss of TARG1 sensitizes cells to inhibitors of topoisomerase II, ATR, and PARP. Furthermore, we find a PARP1-mediated synthetic lethal interaction between TARG1 and PARG, driven by the toxic accumulation of ADP-ribosylation, that induces replication stress and genomic instability. Finally, we show that histone PARylation factor 1 (HPF1) deficiency exacerbates the toxicity and genomic instability induced by excessive ADP-ribosylation, suggesting a close crosstalk between components of the serine- and aspartate/glutamate-linked ADP-ribosylation pathways. Altogether, our data identify TARG1 as a potential biomarker for the response of cancer cells to PARP and PARG inhibition and establish that the interplay of TARG1 and PARG protects cells against genomic instability.

Abstract
PARP14 is a mono-ADP-ribosyl transferase involved in the control of immunity, transcription, and DNA replication stress management. However, little is known about the ADP-ribosylation activity of PARP14, including its substrate specificity or how PARP14-dependent ADP-ribosylation is reversed. We show that PARP14 is a dual-function enzyme with both ADP-ribosyl transferase and hydrolase activity acting on both protein and nucleic acid substrates. In particular, we show that the PARP14 macrodomain 1 is an active ADP-ribosyl hydrolase. We also demonstrate hydrolytic activity for the first macrodomain of PARP9. We reveal that expression of a PARP14 mutant with the inactivated macrodomain 1 results in a marked increase in mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of proteins in human cells, including PARP14 itself and antiviral PARP13, and displays specific cellular phenotypes. Moreover, we demonstrate that the closely related hydrolytically active macrodomain of SARS2 Nsp3, Mac1, efficiently reverses PARP14 ADP-ribosylation in vitro and in cells, supporting the evolution of viral macrodomains to counteract PARP14-mediated antiviral response.

Investigation of the individual genetic evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in a small cluster during the rapid spread of the BF.5 lineage in Tokyo, Japan. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1229234. [PMID: 37744926 PMCID: PMC10516552 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1229234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
There has been a decreasing trend in new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) cases and fatalities worldwide. The virus has been evolving, indicating the potential emergence of new variants and uncertainties. These challenges necessitate continued efforts in disease control and mitigation strategies. We investigated a small cluster of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant infections containing a common set of genomic mutations, which provided a valuable model for investigating the transmission mechanism of genetic alterations. We conducted a study at a medical center in Japan during the Omicron surge (sub-lineage BA.5), sequencing the entire SARS-CoV-2 genomes from infected individuals and evaluating the phylogenetic tree and haplotype network among the variants. We compared the mutations present in each strain within the BA.5 strain, TKYnat2317, which was first identified in Tokyo, Japan. From June 29th to July 4th 2022, nine healthcare workers (HCWs) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by real-time PCR. During the same period, five patients also tested positive by real-time PCR. Whole genome sequencing revealed that the infected patients belonged to either the isolated BA.2 or BA.5 sub-lineage, while the healthcare worker infections were classified as BF.5. The phylogenetic tree and haplotype network clearly showed the specificity and similarity of the HCW cluster. We identified 12 common mutations in the cluster, including I110V in nonstructural protein 4 (nsp4), A1020S in the Spike protein, and H47Y in ORF7a, compared to the BA.5 reference. Additionally, one case had the extra nucleotide-deletion mutation I27* in ORF10, and low frequencies of genetic alterations were also found in certain instances. The results of genome sequencing showed that the nine HCWs shared a set of genetic mutations, indicating transmission within the cluster. Minor mutations observed in five HCW individuals suggested the emergence of new virus variants. Five amino acid substitutions occurred in nsp3, which could potentially affect virus replication or immune escape. Intra-host evolution also generated additional mutations. The cluster exhibited a mild disease course, with individuals in this case, recovering without requiring any medical treatments. Further investigation is needed to understand the relationship between the genetic evolution of the virus and the symptoms.

Abstract
PARP1 is a nuclear protein involved in the maintenance of genomic stability. It catalyses the formation of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) to recruit repair proteins at the site of DNA lesions, such as double-strand and single-strand breaks. In the process of DNA replication or repair, there could occur stretch of ssDNA, usually protected by ssDNA binding proteins, but when present in abundance can turn into DNA beaks and cause cell death. PARP1 is an extremely sensitive sensor of DNA breaks; however, the interaction of PARP1 with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) remains unexplored. Here, we report that the two Zn-fingers, ZnF1 and ZnF2, of PARP1, mediate high-affinity recognition of ssDNA. Our studies suggest that although PAR and ssDNA are chemical analogues, they are recognized by a distinct set of domains of PARP1, yet PAR not only induces dislodging of ssDNA from PARP1 but also hampers the ssDNA-dependent PARP1 activity. It is noteworthy that PAR carrier apoptotic fragment PARP1ΔZnF1-2 gets cleaved from PARP1 to facilitate apoptosis, leaving behind the DNA-bound ZnF1-ZnF2PARP1 . Our studies demonstrate that the PARP1ΔZnF1-2 is competent for ssDNA-dependent stimulation only in the presence of another apoptotic fragment ZnF1-ZnF2PARP1 , suggesting the indispensability of DNA-bound ZnF1-ZnF2PARP1 dual domains for the same.

Abstract
With a 5-year survival rate of fewer than 50%, epithelial ovarian carcinoma is the most fatal of the gynecologic cancers. Each year, an estimated 22,000 women are diagnosed with the condition, with 14,000 dying as a result, in the United States. Over the last decade, the advent of molecular and genetic data has enhanced our understanding of the heterogeneity of ovarian cancer. More than 80% of women diagnosed with advanced illness have an initial full response to rigorous therapy at diagnosis, including surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy. Unfortunately, these responses are infrequently lasting, and the majority of women with ovarian cancer suffer recurrent disease, which is often incurable, despite the possibility of future response and months of survival. And what therapeutic weapons do we have to counter it? For many years, radiation therapy for ovarian tumors was disregarded as an effective treatment option due to its toxicity and lack of survival benefits. Chemotherapy is widely used following surgery, and it has nearly completely supplanted radiation therapy. Even with the use of more modern and efficient chemotherapy regimens, ovarian cancer failures still happen. After receiving first-line ovarian cancer chemotherapy, over 70% of patients show evidence of recurrence in the abdomen or pelvis. It is necessary to reinterpret the function of radiation therapy in light of recent technological developments, the sophistication of radiation procedures, and the molecular and biological understanding of various histological subtypes. This review article focuses on the literature on the use of radiation in ovarian tumors as well as its rationale and current indications.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), a primarily high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSOC), is one of the major causes of high death-to-incidence ratios of all gynecological cancers. Cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy represent the main treatments for this aggressive disease. Molecular characterization of HGSOC has revealed that up to 50% of cases have a deficiency in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) system, which makes these tumors sensitive to poly ADP-ribose inhibitors (PARP-is). However, drug resistance often occurs and overcoming it represents a big challenge. A number of strategies are under investigation, with the most promising being combinations of PARP-is with antiangiogenetic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Moreover, new drugs targeting different pathways, including the ATR-CHK1-WEE1, the PI3K-AKT and the RAS/RAF/MEK, are under development both in phase I and II-III clinical trials. Nevertheless, there is still a long way to go, and the next few years promise to be exciting.

Abstract
The present review aims to explore the potential targets/partners for future targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) strategies, wherein cancer cells often are not killed effectively, despite receiving a high average tumor radiation dose. Here, we shall discuss the key factors in the cancer genome, especially those related to DNA damage response/repair and maintenance systems for escaping cell death in cancer cells. To overcome the current limitations of TRT effectiveness due to radiation/drug-tolerant cells and tumor heterogeneity, and to make TRT more effective, we propose that a promising strategy would be to target the DNA maintenance factors that are crucial for cancer survival. Considering their cancer-specific DNA damage response/repair ability and dysregulated transcription/epigenetic system, key factors such as PARP, ATM/ATR, amplified/overexpressed transcription factors, and DNA methyltransferases have the potential to be molecular targets for Auger electron therapy; moreover, their inhibition by non-radioactive molecules could be a partnering component for enhancing the therapeutic response of TRT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer (PCa) is a prevalent malignant disease affecting a significant number of males globally. Elevated expression of the Bloom's syndrome protein (BLM) helicase has emerged as a promising cancer biomarker, being associated with the onset and progression of PCa. Nevertheless, the precise molecular mechanisms governing BLM regulation in PCa remain elusive. METHODS The expression of BLM in human specimens was analyzed using immnohistochemistry (IHC). A 5'-biotin-labeled DNA probe containing the promoter region of BLM was synthesized to pull down BLM promoter-binding proteins. Functional studies were conducted using a range of assays, including CCK-8, EdU incorporation, clone formation, wound scratch, transwell migration, alkaline comet assay, xenograft mouse model, and H&E staining. Mechanistic studies were carried out using various techniques, including streptavidin-agarose-mediated DNA pull-down, mass spectrometry (MS), immunofluorescence (IF), dual luciferase reporter assay system, RT-qPCR, ChIP-qPCR, co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP), and western blot. RESULTS The results revealed significant upregulation of BLM in human PCa tissues, and its overexpression was associated with an unfavorable prognosis in PCa patients. Increased BLM expression showed significant correlations with advanced clinical stage (P = 0.022) and Gleason grade (P = 0.006). In vitro experiments demonstrated that BLM knockdown exerted inhibitory effects on cell proliferation, clone formation, invasion, and migration. Furthermore, PARP1 (poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1) was identified as a BLM promoter-binding protein. Further investigations revealed that the downregulation of PARP1 led to increased BLM promoter activity and expression, while the overexpression of PARP1 exerted opposite effects. Through mechanistic studies, we elucidated that the interaction between PARP1 and HSP90AB1 (heat shock protein alpha family class B) enhanced the transcriptional regulation of BLM by counteracting the inhibitory influence of PARP1 on BLM. Furthermore, the combination treatment of olaparib with ML216 demonstrated enhanced inhibitory effects on cell proliferation, clone formation, invasion, and migration. It also induced more severe DNA damage in vitro and exhibited superior inhibitory effects on the proliferation of PC3 xenograft tumors in vivo. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study underscore the significance of BLM overexpression as a prognostic biomarker for PCa, while also demonstrating the negative regulatory impact of PARP1 on BLM transcription. The concurrent targeting of BLM and PARP1 emerges as a promising therapeutic approach for PCa treatment, holding potential clinical significance.

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
PARP-1, also known as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1, is a multifunctional nuclear enzyme that plays a critical role in transcriptional regulation through its three functional domains: the N-terminal DNA-binding domain (DBD) containing two zinc fingers for DNA binding and a third zinc finger for maintaining interdomain contacts, the auto modification domain (AD), and the C-terminal domain, which includes the protein-interacting WGR domain and the catalytic domain. Despite the critical role that PARP-1 plays in regulating gene expression, the mechanisms by which it is targeted to chromatin are not well understood. In this study, we aimed to understand the targeting of PARP-1 to chromatin using ChIP-seq of YFP-tagged deletional isoforms of PARP-1 (ZnI, ZnII, AD-WGR) and a construct that lacks only ZnI (ΔZnI). Our results indicate that other PARP-1 domains are sufficient to target PARP-1 to active genes in the absence of ZnI. Furthermore, we found that PARP-1 represses metabolic gene pathways and activates developmental gene pathways. The results of ChIP-seq analysis showed that PARP-1 and ΔZnI were preferentially bound to the gene bodies of PARP-1-regulated metabolic genes compared to developmental genes. PARP-1 domains (ZnI, ZnII and AD-WGR) also preferentially occupied the gene bodies of PARP-1-regulated metabolic genes, however, they were more enriched at the TSS of PARP-1-regulated developmental genes compared to metabolic genes. Thus, we propose that PARP-1 domains cooperatively target PARP-1 to PARP-1-regulated genes to coordinate metabolic and developmental gene expression programs.

Serine ADP-ribosylation in Drosophila provides insights into the evolution of reversible ADP-ribosylation signalling. Nat Commun 2023; 14:3200. [PMID: 37268618 PMCID: PMC10238386 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-38793-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/04/2023] Open
Abstract
In the mammalian DNA damage response, ADP-ribosylation signalling is of crucial importance to mark sites of DNA damage as well as recruit and regulate repairs factors. Specifically, the PARP1:HPF1 complex recognises damaged DNA and catalyses the formation of serine-linked ADP-ribosylation marks (mono-Ser-ADPr), which are extended into ADP-ribose polymers (poly-Ser-ADPr) by PARP1 alone. Poly-Ser-ADPr is reversed by PARG, while the terminal mono-Ser-ADPr is removed by ARH3. Despite its significance and apparent evolutionary conservation, little is known about ADP-ribosylation signalling in non-mammalian Animalia. The presence of HPF1, but absence of ARH3, in some insect genomes, including Drosophila species, raises questions regarding the existence and reversal of serine-ADP-ribosylation in these species. Here we show by quantitative proteomics that Ser-ADPr is the major form of ADP-ribosylation in the DNA damage response of Drosophila melanogaster and is dependent on the dParp1:dHpf1 complex. Moreover, our structural and biochemical investigations uncover the mechanism of mono-Ser-ADPr removal by Drosophila Parg. Collectively, our data reveal PARP:HPF1-mediated Ser-ADPr as a defining feature of the DDR in Animalia. The striking conservation within this kingdom suggests that organisms that carry only a core set of ADP-ribosyl metabolising enzymes, such as Drosophila, are valuable model organisms to study the physiological role of Ser-ADPr signalling.

Abstract
Poly(ADPribosyl)ation is a post-translational protein modification, catalyzed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARPs) enzymes, responsible for ADP-ribose polymer synthesis (PAR) from NAD+. PAR turnover is assured by poly(ADPR) glycohydrolase (PARGs) enzymes. In our previous study, the altered histology of zebrafish brain tissue, resulting in demyelination and neurodegeneration also with poly(ADPribosyl)ation hyperactivation, was demonstrated after aluminum (Al) exposure for 10 and 15 days. On the basis of this evidence, the aim of the present research was to study the synthesis and degradation of poly(ADP-ribose) in the brain of adult zebrafish exposed to 11 mg/L of Al for 10, 15, and 20 days. For this reason, PARP and PARG expression analyses were carried out, and ADPR polymers were synthesized and digested. The data showed the presence of different PARP isoforms, among which a human PARP1 counterpart was also expressed. Moreover, the highest PARP and PARG activity levels, responsible for the PAR production and its degradation, respectively, were measured after 10 and 15 days of exposure. We suppose that PARP activation is related to DNA damage induced by Al, while PARG activation is needed to avoid PAR accumulation, which is known to inhibit PARP and promote parthanatos. On the contrary, PARP activity decrease at longer exposure times suggests that neuronal cells could adopt the stratagem of reducing polymer synthesis to avoid energy expenditure and allow cell survival.

Cysteine depletion sensitizes prostate cancer cells to agents that enhance DNA damage and to immune checkpoint inhibition. J Exp Clin Cancer Res 2023; 42:119. [PMID: 37170264 PMCID: PMC10173527 DOI: 10.1186/s13046-023-02677-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate Cancer (PCa) represents one of the most commonly diagnosed neoplasms in men and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Therapy resistance and significant side effects of current treatment strategies indicate the need for more effective agents to treat both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent PCa. In earlier studies, we demonstrated that depletion of L-cysteine/cystine with an engineered human enzyme, Cyst(e)inase, increased intracellular ROS levels and inhibited PCa growth in vitro and in vivo. The current study was conducted to further explore the mechanisms and potential combinatorial approaches with Cyst(e)inase for treatment of PCa. METHODS DNA single strand breaks and clustered oxidative DNA damage were evaluated by alkaline comet assay and pulsed field gel electrophoresis, respectively. Neutral comet assay and immunofluorescence staining was used to measure DNA double strand breaks. Cell survival and reactive oxygen species level were measured by crystal violet assay and DCFDA staining, respectively. Western blot was used to determine protein expression. FACS analyses were preformed for immune cell phenotyping. Allograft and xenograft tumor models were used for assessing effects on tumor growth. RESULTS PCa cells treated with Cyst(e)inase lead to DNA single and double strand breaks resulted from clustered oxidative DNA damage (SSBs and DSBs). Cyst(e)inase in combination with Auranofin, a thioredoxin reductase inhibitor, further increased intracellular ROS and DNA DSBs and synergistically inhibited PCa cell growth in vitro and in vivo. A combination of Cyst(e)inase with a PARP inhibitor (Olaparib) also increased DNA DSBs and synergistically inhibited PCa cell growth in vitro and in vivo without additional ROS induction. Knockdown of BRCA2 in PCa cells increased DSBs and enhanced sensitivity to Cyst(e)inase. Finally, Cyst(e)inase treatment altered tumor immune infiltrates and PD-L1 expression and sensitized PCa cells to anti-PD-L1 treatment. CONCLUSIONS The current results demonstrate the importance of oxidative DNA damage either alone or in combination for Cyst(e)inase-induced anticancer activity. Furthermore, cysteine/cystine depletion alters the tumor immune landscape favoring enhanced immune checkpoint inhibition targeting PD-L1. Thus, combinatorial approaches with Cyst(e)inase could lead to novel therapeutic strategies for PCa.

Abstract
The World Health Organization has identified oncological diseases as one of the most serious health concerns of the current century. Current research on oncogenesis is focused on the molecular mechanisms of energy-biochemical reprogramming in cancer cell metabolism, including processes contributing to the Warburg effect and the pro-oncogenic and anti-oncogenic roles of sirtuins (SIRTs) and poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs). However, a clear understanding of the interaction between NAD+, SIRTs in cancer development, as well as their effects on carcinogenesis, has not been established, and literature data vary greatly. This work aims to provide a summary and structure of the available information on NAD+, SIRTs interactions in both stimulating and countering carcinogenesis, and to discuss potential approaches for pharmacological modulation of these interactions to achieve an anticancer effect.
