Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a central and pleiotropic metabolite involved in cellular energy metabolism, cell signaling, DNA repair, and protein modifications. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Metabolic stress and aging directly affect the cardiovascular system. Compelling data suggest that NAD + levels decrease with age, obesity, and hypertension, which are all notable risk factors for CVD. In addition, the therapeutic elevation of NAD + levels reduces chronic low-grade inflammation, reactivates autophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis, and enhances oxidative metabolism in vascular cells of humans and rodents with vascular disorders. In preclinical models, NAD + boosting can also expand the health span, prevent metabolic syndrome, and decrease blood pressure. Moreover, NAD + storage by genetic, pharmacological, or natural dietary NAD + -increasing strategies has recently been shown to be effective in improving the pathophysiology of cardiac and vascular health in different animal models, and human health. Here, we review and discuss NAD + -related mechanisms pivotal for vascular health and summarize recent experimental evidence in NAD + research directly related to vascular disease, including atherosclerosis, and coronary artery disease. Finally, we comparatively assess distinct NAD + precursors for their clinical efficacy and the efficiency of NAD + elevation in the treatment of major CVD. These findings may provide ideas for new therapeutic strategies to prevent and treat CVD in the clinic.

Abstract
Aging, a complex biological process, plays key roles the development of multiple disorders referred as aging-related diseases involving cardiovascular diseases, stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, lipid metabolism-related diseases. ADP-ribosylation is a reversible modification onto proteins and nucleic acids to alter their structures and/or functions. Growing evidence support the importance of ADP-ribosylation and ADP-ribosylation-associated enzymes in aging and age-related diseases. In this review, we summarized ADP-ribosylation-associated proteins including ADP-ribosyl transferases, the ADP-ribosyl hydrolyses and ADP-ribose binding domains. Furthermore, we outlined the latest knowledge about regulation of ADP-ribosylation in the pathogenesis and progression of main aging-related diseases, organism aging and cellular senescence, and we also speculated the underlying mechanisms to better disclose this novel molecular network. Moreover, we discussed current issues and provided an outlook for future research, aiming to revealing the unknown bio-properties of ADP-ribosylation, and establishing a novel therapeutic perspective in aging-related diseases and health aging via targeting ADP-ribosylation.

Abstract
PARP2, that belongs to the family of ADP-ribosyl transferase enzymes (ART), is a discovery of the millennium, as it was identified in 1999. Although PARP2 was described initially as a DNA repair factor, it is now evident that PARP2 partakes in the regulation or execution of multiple biological processes as inflammation, carcinogenesis and cancer progression, metabolism or oxidative stress-related diseases. Hereby, we review the involvement of PARP2 in these processes with the aim of understanding which processes are specific for PARP2, but not for other members of the ART family. A better understanding of the specific functions of PARP2 in all of these biological processes is crucial for the development of new PARP-centred selective therapies.

Unconventional activation of PRKDC by TNF-α: deciphering its crucial role in Th1-mediated inflammation beyond DNA repair as part of the DNA-PK complex. J Inflamm (Lond) 2024; 21:14. [PMID: 38689261 PMCID: PMC11059672 DOI: 10.1186/s12950-024-00386-x] [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: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) complex comprises a catalytic (PRKDC) and two requisite DNA-binding (Ku70/Ku80) subunits. The role of the complex in repairing double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) is established, but its role in inflammation, as a complex or individual subunits, remains elusive. While only ~ 1% of PRKDC is necessary for DNA repair, we reported that partial inhibition blocks asthma in mice without causing SCID. METHODS We investigated the central role of PRKDC in inflammation and its potential association with DNA repair. We also elucidated the relationship between inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α) and PRKDC by analyzing its connections to inflammatory kinases. Human cell lines, primary human endothelial cells, and mouse fibroblasts were used to conduct the in vitro studies. For animal studies, LPS- and oxazolone-induced mouse models of acute lung injury (ALI) and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DHT) were used. Wild-type, PRKDC+/-, or Ku70+/- mice used in this study. RESULTS A ~ 50% reduction in PRKDC markedly blocked TNF-α-induced expression of inflammatory factors (e.g., ICAM-1/VCAM-1). PRKDC regulates Th1-mediated inflammation, such as DHT and ALI, and its role is highly sensitive to inhibition achieved by gene heterozygosity or pharmacologically. In endothelial or epithelial cells, TNF-α promoted rapid PRKDC phosphorylation in a fashion resembling that induced by, but independent of, DSBs. Ku70 heterozygosity exerted little to no effect on ALI in mice, and whatever effect it had was associated with a specific increase in MCP-1 in the lungs and systemically. While Ku70 knockout blocked VP-16-induced PRKDC phosphorylation, it did not prevent TNF-α - induced phosphorylation of the kinase, suggesting Ku70 dispensability. Immunoprecipitation studies revealed that PRKDC transiently interacts with p38MAPK. Inhibition of p38MAPK blocked TNF-α-induced PRKDC phosphorylation. Direct phosphorylation of PRKDC by p38MAPK was demonstrated using a cell-free system. CONCLUSIONS This study presents compelling evidence that PRKDC functions independently of the DNA-PK complex, emphasizing its central role in Th1-mediated inflammation. The distinct functionality of PRKDC as an individual enzyme, its remarkable sensitivity to inhibition, and its phosphorylation by p38MAPK offer promising therapeutic opportunities to mitigate inflammation while sparing DNA repair processes. These findings expand our understanding of PRKDC biology and open new avenues for targeted anti-inflammatory interventions.

Abstract
The ever-increasing prevalence of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) represents a major public health burden worldwide. The most common form of NCD is metabolic diseases, which affect people of all ages and usually manifest their pathobiology through life-threatening cardiovascular complications. A comprehensive understanding of the pathobiology of metabolic diseases will generate novel targets for improved therapies across the common metabolic spectrum. Protein posttranslational modification (PTM) is an important term that refers to biochemical modification of specific amino acid residues in target proteins, which immensely increases the functional diversity of the proteome. The range of PTMs includes phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, ubiquitination, SUMOylation, neddylation, glycosylation, palmitoylation, myristoylation, prenylation, cholesterylation, glutathionylation, S-nitrosylation, sulfhydration, citrullination, ADP ribosylation, and several novel PTMs. Here, we offer a comprehensive review of PTMs and their roles in common metabolic diseases and pathological consequences, including diabetes, obesity, fatty liver diseases, hyperlipidemia, and atherosclerosis. Building upon this framework, we afford a through description of proteins and pathways involved in metabolic diseases by focusing on PTM-based protein modifications, showcase the pharmaceutical intervention of PTMs in preclinical studies and clinical trials, and offer future perspectives. Fundamental research defining the mechanisms whereby PTMs of proteins regulate metabolic diseases will open new avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) protein is encoded by the PARP1 gene located on chromosome 1 (1q42.12) in human cells. It plays a crucial role in post-translational modification by adding poly (ADP-ribose) (PAR) groups to various proteins and PARP1 itself by utilizing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD +) as a substrate. Since the discovery of PARP1, its role in DNA repair and cell death has been its identity. This is evident from an overwhelmingly high number of scientific reports in this regard. However, PARP1 also plays critical roles in inflammation, metabolism, tumor development and progression, chromatin modification and transcription, mRNA stability, and alternative splicing. In the present study, we attempted to compile all the scattered scientific information about this molecule, including the structure and multifunctional role of PARP1 in cancer and non-cancer diseases, along with PARP1 inhibitors (PARPis). Furthermore, for the first time, we have classified PARP1-mediated cell death for ease of understanding its role in cell death pathways.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) arise from a complex interplay among genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic abnormalities. Emerging evidence has recently consolidated the presence of robust DNA damage in a variety of cardiovascular disorders. DNA damage triggers a series of cellular responses termed DNA damage response (DDR) including detection of DNA lesions, cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, cellular senescence, and apoptosis, in all organ systems including hearts and vasculature. Although transient DDR in response to temporary DNA damage can be beneficial for cardiovascular function, persistent activation of DDR promotes the onset and development of CVDs. Moreover, therapeutic interventions that target DNA damage and DDR have the potential to attenuate cardiovascular dysfunction and improve disease outcome. In this review, we will discuss molecular mechanisms of DNA damage and repair in the onset and development of CVDs, and explore how DDR in specific cardiac cell types contributes to CVDs. Moreover, we will highlight the latest advances regarding the potential therapeutic strategies targeting DNA damage signalling in CVDs.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Aging and/or metabolic stress directly impact the cardiovascular system. Over the last few years, the contributions of altered nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) metabolism to aging and other pathological conditions closely related to cardiovascular diseases have been intensively investigated. NAD+ bioavailability decreases with age and cardiometabolic conditions in several mammalian tissues. Compelling data suggest that declining tissue NAD+ is commonly related to mitochondrial dysfunction and might be considered as a therapeutic target. Thus, NAD+ replenishment by either genetic or natural dietary NAD+-increasing strategies has been recently demonstrated to be effective for improving the pathophysiology of cardiac and vascular health in different experimental models, as well as human health, to a lesser extent. Here, we review and discuss recent experimental evidence illustrating that increasing NAD+ bioavailability, particularly by the use of natural NAD+ precursors, may offer hope for new therapeutic strategies to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases.

PARPs in lipid metabolism and related diseases. Prog Lipid Res 2021; 84:101117.

Abstract
PARPs and tankyrases (TNKS) represent a family of 17 proteins. PARPs and tankyrases were originally identified as DNA repair factors, nevertheless, recent advances have shed light on their role in lipid metabolism. To date, PARP1, PARP2, PARP3, tankyrases, PARP9, PARP10, PARP14 were reported to have multi-pronged connections to lipid metabolism. The activity of PARP enzymes is fine-tuned by a set of cholesterol-based compounds as oxidized cholesterol derivatives, steroid hormones or bile acids. In turn, PARPs modulate several key processes of lipid homeostasis (lipotoxicity, fatty acid and steroid biosynthesis, lipoprotein homeostasis, fatty acid oxidation, etc.). PARPs are also cofactors of lipid-responsive nuclear receptors and transcription factors through which PARPs regulate lipid metabolism and lipid homeostasis. PARP activation often represents a disruptive signal to (lipid) metabolism, and PARP-dependent changes to lipid metabolism have pathophysiological role in the development of hyperlipidemia, obesity, alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, type II diabetes and its complications, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular aging and skin pathologies, just to name a few. In this synopsis we will review the evidence supporting the beneficial effects of pharmacological PARP inhibitors in these diseases/pathologies and propose repurposing PARP inhibitors already available for the treatment of various malignancies.

PARP-1-regulated TNF-α expression in the dorsal root ganglia and spinal dorsal horn contributes to the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain in rats. Brain Behav Immun 2020; 88:482-496. [PMID: 32283287 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbi.2020.04.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2020] [Revised: 04/08/2020] [Accepted: 04/09/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Emerging evidence has implicated poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1), a transcriptional coregulator, in a variety of inflammatory diseases. In the current study, the role of PARP-1 in neuropathic pain and the underlying mechanisms were investigated. Neuropathic pain was determined by assessing the paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) and paw withdrawal latency (PWL) following lumbar 5 spinal nerve ligation (SNL) in male rates. Western blotting, qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), and Co-IP assays were performed to elucidate the mechanisms. The results showed that SNL resulted in a significant increase in the expression and activation of PARP-1 in the ipsilateral L4/5 dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and spinal dorsal horn, which occurred on day one, reached peak on day 7, and persisted more than 2 weeks after surgery. Double immunofluorescence staining revealed that PARP-1 was expressed exclusively in DRG A-type and C-type neurons. In the spinal cord, PARP-1 mainly colocalized with the neuronal marker NeuN and the astrocytic marker GFAP specifically in the superficial lamina. Prior intrathecal (i.t.) injection of PJ-34, a PARPs inhibitor, or Tiq-A, a specific PARP-1 inhibitor, dose-dependently prevented the reductions in PWT and PWL following SNL. Established neuropathic pain-like hypersensitivity was also attenuated with i.t. injection of PJ-34 and Tiq-A starting on day 7 following SNL, a timepoint at which neuropathic pain was fully established. SNL-induced mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia were also alleviated by i.t. injection of PARP-1 siRNA following a reduction in PARP-1 expression in the dorsal horn. Moreover, the SNL-induced increases in TNF-α protein and mRNA in the dorsal horn and DRG were dramatically suppressed by i.t. injection of Tiq-A or PARP-1 siRNA. The i.t. lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced increase in the production of TNF-α in the dorsal horn was also inhibited by prior to i.t. injection of PARP-1 siRNA. Results of ChIP assay showed that SNL-induced PARP-1 activation promoted the binding of NF-κB p65 with the TNF-α promoter in the dorsal horn and that PARP-1 inhibition reduced this binding and suppressed TNF-α expression. Co-IP assay revealed that SNL caused a significant increase in the level of histone H1 poly(ADP)-ribosylation. Together, these results indicate that PARP-1-regulated TNF-α expression in the DRG and spinal dorsal horn following SNL contributes to the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. Targeting PARP-1 might be a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of the chronic pain.

Abstract
Thieno[2,3-c]isoquinolin-5(4H)-one is known for its potential as an anti-ischemic agent through the inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1). However, the compound also inhibits many other enzymes of the PARP family, potentially limiting its usability. The broad inhibition profile, on the other hand, indicates that this molecule backbone could be potentially used as a scaffold for the development of specific inhibitors for certain PARP enzymes. These efforts call for novel synthetic strategies for substituted thieno[2,3-c]isoquinolin-5(4H)-one that could provide the needed selectivity. In this article, an efficient synthetic strategy for 8-alkoxythieno[2,3-c]isoquinolin-5(4H)-ones through eight steps is presented and other tested synthetic pathways are discussed in detail. Synthesis of 7-methoxythieno[2,3-c]isoquinolin-5(4H)-one is also demonstrated to show that the strategy can be applied widely in the syntheses of substituted alkoxythieno[2,3-c]isoquinolin-5(4H)-ones.

Abstract
In this review, Szanto et al. summarize the metabolic regulatory roles of PARP enzymes and their associated pathologies. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs or ARTDs), originally described as DNA repair factors, have metabolic regulatory roles. PARP1, PARP2, PARP7, PARP10, and PARP14 regulate central and peripheral carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and often channel pathological disruptive metabolic signals. PARP1 and PARP2 are crucial for adipocyte differentiation, including the commitment toward white, brown, or beige adipose tissue lineages, as well as the regulation of lipid accumulation. Through regulating adipocyte function and organismal energy balance, PARPs play a role in obesity and the consequences of obesity. These findings can be translated into humans, as evidenced by studies on identical twins and SNPs affecting PARP activity.

Abstract
Naïve macrophages (Mφ) polarize in response to various environmental cues to a spectrum of cells that have distinct biological functions. The extreme ends of the spectrum are classified as M1 and M2 macrophages. Previously, we demonstrated that Notch1 deficiency promotes Tgf-β2 dependent M2-polarization in a mouse model of abdominal aortic aneurysm. The present studies aimed to characterize the unique set of genes regulated by Notch1 signaling in macrophage polarization. Bone marrow derived macrophages isolated from WT or Notch1+/- mice (n = 12) were differentiated to Mφ, M1 or M2-phenotypes by 24 h exposure to vehicle, LPS/IFN-γ or IL4/IL13 respectively and total RNA was subjected to RNA-Sequencing (n = 3). Bioinformatics analyses demonstrated that Notch1 haploinsufficiency downregulated the expression of 262 genes at baseline level, 307 genes with LPS/IFN-γ and 254 genes with IL4/IL13 treatment. Among these, the most unique genes downregulated by Notch1 haploinsufficiency included fibromodulin (Fmod), caspase-4, Has1, Col1a1, Alpl and Igf. Pathway analysis demonstrated that extracellular matrix, macrophage polarization and osteogenesis were the major pathways affected by Notch1 haploinsufficiency. Gain and loss-of-function studies established a strong correlation between Notch1 haploinsufficiency and Fmod in regulating Tgf-β signaling. Collectively, our studies suggest that Notch1 haploinsufficiency increases M2 polarization through these newly identified genes.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is an immediate cellular repair response to DNA damage and is catalyzed primarily by poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1 (PARP1), which is the most abundant of the 18 different PARP isoforms and accounts for more than 90% of the catalytic activity of PARP in the cell nucleus. Upon detection of a DNA strand break, PARP1 binds to the DNA, cleaves nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide between nicotinamide and ribose and then modifies the DNA nuclear acceptor proteins by formation of a bond between the protein and the ADP-ribose residue. This generates ribosyl-ribosyl linkages that act as a signal for other DNA-repairing enzymes and DNA base repair. Extensive DNA breakage in cells results in excessive activation of PARP with resultant depletion of the cellular stores of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) which slows the rate of glycolysis, mitochondrial electron transport, and ultimately ATP formation in these cells. This paper focuses on PARP in DNA repair in atherosclerosis, acute myocardial infarction/reperfusion injury, and congestive heart failure and the role of PARP inhibitors in combating the effects of excessive PARP activation in these diseases. Free oxygen radicals and nitrogen radicals in arteries contribute to disruption of the vascular endothelial glycocalyx, which increase the permeability of the endothelium to inflammatory cells and also low-density lipoproteins and the accumulation of lipid in the vascular intima. Mild inflammation and DNA damage within vascular cells promote PARP1 activation and DNA repair. Moderate DNA damage induces caspase-dependent PARP cleavage and vascular cell apoptosis. Severe DNA damage due to vascular inflammation causes excessive activation of PARP1. This causes endothelial cell depletion of NAD+ and ATP, downregulation of atheroprotective SIRT1, necrotic cell death, and ultimately atherosclerotic plaque disruption. Inhibition of PARP decreases vascular endothelial cell adhesion P-selectin and ICAM-1 molecules, inflammatory cells, pro-death caspase-3, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation and upregulates prosurvival extracellular signal-regulated kinases and AKT, which decrease vascular cell apoptosis and necrosis and limit atherosclerosis and plaque disruption. In myocardial infarction with coronary occlusion then reperfusion, which occurs with coronary angioplasty or thrombolytic therapy, reperfusion injury occurs in as many as 31% of patients and is caused by inflammatory cells, free oxygen and nitrogen radicals, the rapid transcriptional activation of inflammatory cytokines, and the activation of PARP1. Inhibition of PARP attenuates neutrophil infiltration and inflammatory cytokine expression in the reperfused myocardium and preserves myocardial NAD+ and ATP. In addition, PARP inhibition increases the activation of myocyte survival enzymes protein kinase B (Akt) and protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε), and decreases the activity of myocardial ventricular remodeling enzymes PKCα/β, PKCζ/λ, and PKCδ. As a consequence, cardiomyocyte and vascular endothelial cell necrosis is decreased and myocardial contractility is preserved. In heart failure and circulatory shock in animal models, PARP inhibition significantly attenuates decreases in left ventricular systolic pressure, ventricular contractility and relaxation, stroke volume, and increases survival by limiting or preventing upregulation of adhesion molecules, proinflammatory cytokines, myocardial mononuclear cell infiltration, and PKCα/β and PKC λ/ζ. In this manner, PARP inhibition partially restores the myocardial concentrations of NAD+, limits ventricular remodeling and fibrosis, and prevents significant decreases in myocardial contractility. Based primarily on investigations in preclinical models of atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and heart failure, PARP inhibition appears to be beneficial in limiting or inhibiting cardiovascular dysfunction. These studies indicate that investigations of acute and chronic PARP inhibition are warranted in patients with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Regression, or reversal, of atherosclerosis has become an important clinical objective. The development of consistent models of murine atherosclerosis regression has accelerated this field of research. The purpose of this review is to highlight recent mouse studies that reveal molecular mechanisms as well as therapeutics targeted for regression. RECENT FINDINGS Atherosclerosis regression does not involve the same mechanisms as progression in reverse order. Distinct molecular processes within the plaque characterize regression. These processes remained elusive until the advent of murine regression models including aortic transplant, the Reversa mouse, gene complementation and dietary intervention. Studies revealed that depletion of plaque macrophages is a quintessential characteristic of regression, driven by reduced monocyte recruitment into plaques, increased egress of macrophages from plaques and reduced macrophage proliferation. In addition, regression results in polarization of remaining plaque macrophages towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype, smaller necrotic cores and promotion of an organized fibrous cap. Furthermore, type 1 diabetes hinders plaque regression, and several therapeutic interventions show promise in slowing plaque progression or inducing regression. SUMMARY Mouse models of atherosclerosis regression have accelerated our understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing lesion resolution. These insights will be valuable in identifying therapeutic targets aimed at atherosclerosis regression.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is an NAD-consuming enzyme and its specific role in the pathogenesis of alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) remains elusive. In this study, we applied PJ34 [N-(5,6-dihydro-6-oxo-2-phenanthridinyl)-2-acetamide hydrochloride] to inhibit hepatic PARP activity to examine the corresponding pathologic alteration in AFLD in mice and the underlying molecular mechanism. We found that PJ34 decreased the intracellular triglyceride (TG) content in hepatocytes. Moreover, PJ34 suppressed the gene expression of diglyceride acyltransferases DGAT1 and DGAT2 and elevated intracellular NAD+ levels in hepatocytes. These mechanistic observations were validated in alcohol-fed mice injected with PJ34 intraperitoneally. Our results indicate that the PJ34 injection attenuated hepatic TG accumulation in alcohol-fed mice. Furthermore, PJ34 injection lowered the gene expression of hepatic sterol regulatory element binding protein 1c, DGAT1, and DGAT2, whereas PJ34 injection augmented hepatic NAD+ levels in alcohol-fed mice. Finally, nicotinamide riboside supplementation alleviated hepatic TG accumulation in alcohol-fed mice. These data indicate that applying PARP-specific inhibitor PJ34 by intraperitoneal injection attenuated hepatic NAD+ depletion and TG accumulation in alcohol-fed mice and may be a potential candidate for use in AFLD therapy.

Abstract
Inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) may protect against coronary artery disease (CAD) in animal models, and rs1136410, a non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in PARP-1, has a potential impact on PARP activities in vitro. This two-stage case-control study, involving 2803 CAD patients and 2840 controls, aimed to investigate the associations of PARP-1 rs1136410 with CAD development, lipid levels, PARP activities, 8-hydroxy-2'-dexyguanosine (8-OHdG), and interleukin (IL)-6 levels in a Chinese Han population. Assuming a recessive model, the variant genotype GG of SNP rs1136410 showed a significantly inverse association with CAD risk (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 0.73, P < 0.001), left main coronary artery (LMCA) lesions (P = 0.003), vessel scores (P = 0.003), and modified Gensini scores (P < 0.001). There were significant correlations of SNP rs1136410 with higher levels of total cholesterol (TC) and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c). In gene-environment interaction analyses, participants with the variant genotype GG, but without smoking habit, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia, conferred an 84% (P < 0.001) decreased risk of CAD. The genotype-phenotype correlation analyses further supported the functional roles of SNP rs1136410 in decreasing PARP activities and 8-OHdG levels. Taken together, our data suggest that SNP rs1136410 may confer protection against CAD through modulation of PARP activities and gene-environment interactions in a Chinese Han population.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 deficiency increases nitric oxide production and attenuates aortic atherogenesis through downregulation of arginase II. Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol 2017; 44:114-122. [PMID: 27757983 DOI: 10.1111/1440-1681.12685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2016] [Revised: 09/22/2016] [Accepted: 10/14/2016] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) plays an important role in endothelial dysfunction, leading to atherogenesis and vascular-related diseases. However, whether PARP regulates nitric oxide (NO), a key regulator of endothelial function, is unclear so far. We investigated whether inhibition of PARP-1, the most abundant PARP isoform, prevents atherogenesis by regulating NO production and tried to elucidate the possible mechanisms involved in this phenomenon. In apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE-/- ) mice fed a high-cholesterol diet for 12 weeks, PARP-1 inhibition via treatment with 3,4-dihydro-54-(1-piperindinyl) butoxy-1(2H)-isoquinoline (DPQ) or PARP-1 gene knockout reduced aortic atherosclerotic plaque areas (49% and 46%, respectively). Both the groups showed restored NO production in mouse aortas with reduced arginase II (Arg II) expression compared to that in the controls. In mouse peritoneal macrophages and aortic endothelial cells (MAECs), PARP-1 knockout resulted in lowered Arg II expression. Moreover, phosphorylation of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) was preserved in the aortas and MAECs when PARP-1 was inhibited. Reduced NO production in vitro due to PARP-1 deficiency could be restored by treating the MAECs with oxidized low-density lipoprotein treatment, but this effect could not be achieved with peritoneal macrophages, which was likely due to a reduction in the expression of induced NOS expression. Our findings indicate that PARP-1 inhibition may attenuate atherogenesis by restoring NO production in endothelial cells and thus by reducing Arg II expression and consequently arginase the activity.

Abstract
The anti-obesity activity of the water extract of soy milk fermented with Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei NTU 101 (W101) was investigated. A high-fat diet (HFD) was used to induce obesity in rats, and the effects of daily W101 feeding (8 weeks) were observed. The rats fed the HFD and supplemented with low-dose W101 (LW101, 15 mg per kg body weight per day) or high-dose W101 (HW101, 150 mg per kg body weight per day) had significantly reduced final body weight in comparison with that of the HFD group. W101 decreased the formation of lipid plaques in the aorta, reduced the adipocyte cross-sectional area and diameter, and reduced the levels of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein β (C/EBPβ), peroxisome proliferator associated receptor γ (PPARγ), and C/EBPα. Regarding lipogenesis regulation in adipocytes, W101 suppressed heparin-releasable lipoprotein lipase (HR-LPL) in adipose tissues and inhibited lipid absorption, thereby reducing lipogenesis. Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei NTU 101-fermented soy milk may be used to develop health foods that prevent obesity.

Abstract
Background We and others have extensively investigated the role of PARP-1 in cell growth and demise in response to pathophysiological cues. Most of the clinical trials on PARP inhibitors are targeting primarily estrogen receptor (ER) negative cancers with BRCA-deficiency. It is surprising that the role of the enzyme has yet to be investigated in ER-mediated cell growth. It is noteworthy that ER is expressed in the majority of breast cancers. We recently showed that the scaffolding protein PDZK1 is critical for 17β-estradiol (E2)-induced growth of breast cancer cells. We demonstrated that E2-induced PDZK1 expression is indirectly regulated by ER and requires IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R). Methods The breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and BT474 were used as ER(+) cell culture models. Thieno[2,3-c]isoquinolin-5-one (TIQ-A) and olaparib (AZD2281) were used as potent inhibitors of PARP. PARP-1 knockdown by shRNA was used to show specificity of the effects to PARP-1. Results In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of PARP inhibition on estrogen-induced growth of breast cancer cells and examine whether the potential effect is linked to PDZK1 and IGF-1R expression. Our results show that PARP inhibition pharmacologically by TIQ-A or olaparib or by PARP-1 knockdown blocked E2-dependent growth of MCF-7 cells. Such inhibitory effect was also observed in olaparib-treated BT474 cells. The effect of PARP inhibition on cell growth coincided with an efficient reduction in E2-induced PDZK1 expression. This effect was accompanied by a similar decrease in the cell cycle protein cyclin D1. PARP appeared to regulate E2-induced PDZK1 at the mRNA level. Such regulation may be linked to a modulation of IGF-1R as PARP inhibition pharmacologically or by PARP-1 knockdown efficiently reduced E2-induced expression of the receptor at the protein and mRNA levels. Conclusions Overall, our results show for the first time that PARP regulates E2-mediated cell growth by controlling the ER/IGF-1R/PDZK1 axis. These findings suggest that the relationship between ER, PDZK1, and IGF-1R may be perturbed by blocking PARP function and that PARP inhibitors may be considered in clinical trials on ER(+) cancers.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS), especially the vulnerable AS plaque rupture-induced acute obstructive vascular disease, is a leading cause of death. Accordingly, there is a need for an effective method to draw accurate predictions about AS progression and plaque vulnerability. Herein we report on an approach to constructing a hybrid nanoparticle system using a single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) multimodal probe, aiming for a comprehensive evaluation of AS progression by achieving high sensitivity along with high resolution. Ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) was covered by aminated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and carboxylated PEG simultaneously and then functionalized with diethylenetriaminepentacetate acid for (99m)Tc coordination and subsequently Annexin V for targeting apoptotic macrophages abundant in vulnerable plaques. The in vivo accumulations of imaging probe reflected by SPECT and MRI were consistent and accurate in highlighting lesions. Intense radioactive signals detected by SPECT facilitated focus recognization and quantification, while USPIO-based T2-weighted MRI improved the focal localization and volumetry of AS plaques. For subsequent ex vivo planar images, targeting effects were further confirmed by immunohistochemistry, including CD-68 and TUNEL staining; meanwhile, the degree of concentration was proven to be statistically correlated with the Oil Red O staining results. In conclusion, these results indicated that the Annexin V-modified hybrid nanoparticle system specifically targeted the vulnerable AS plaques containing apoptotic macrophages and could be of great value in the invasively accurate detection of vulnerable plaques.

Abstract
Background The progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) involves a sustained influx of proinflammatory macrophages, which exacerbate tissue injury by releasing cytokines, chemokines, and matrix metalloproteinases. Previously, we showed that Notch deficiency reduces the development of AAA in the angiotensin II–induced mouse model by preventing infiltration of macrophages. Here, we examined whether Notch inhibition in this mouse model prevents progression of small AAA and whether these effects are associated with altered macrophage differentiation. Methods and Results Treatment with pharmacological Notch inhibitor (DAPT [N‐(N‐[3,5‐difluorophenacetyl]‐L‐alanyl)‐S‐phenylglycine t‐butyl ester]) at day 3 or 8 of angiotensin II infusion arrested the progression of AAA in Apoe−/− mice, as demonstrated by a decreased luminal diameter and aortic width. The abdominal aortas of Apoe−/− mice treated with DAPT showed decreased expression of matrix metalloproteinases and presence of elastin precursors including tropoelastin and hyaluronic acid. Marginal adventitial thickening observed in the aorta of DAPT‐treated Apoe−/− mice was not associated with increased macrophage content, as observed in the mice treated with angiotensin II alone. Instead, DAPT‐treated abdominal aortas showed increased expression of Cd206‐positive M2 macrophages and decreased expression of Il12‐positive M1 macrophages. Notch1 deficiency promoted M2 differentiation of macrophages by upregulating transforming growth factor β2 in bone marrow–derived macrophages at basal levels and in response to IL4. Protein expression of transforming growth factor β2 and its downstream effector pSmad2 also increased in DAPT‐treated Apoe−/− mice, indicating a potential link between Notch and transforming growth factor β2 signaling in the M2 differentiation of macrophages. Conclusions Pharmacological inhibitor of Notch signaling prevents the progression of AAA by macrophage differentiation–dependent mechanisms. The study also provides insights for novel therapeutic strategies to prevent the progression of small AAA.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation reactions, carried out by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs/ARTDs), are reversible posttranslational modifications impacting on numerous cellular processes (e.g., DNA repair, transcription, metabolism, or immune functions). PARP1 (EC 2.4.2.30), the founding member of PARPs, is particularly important for drug development for its role in DNA repair, cell death, and transcription of proinflammatory genes. Recent studies have established a novel concept that PARP1 is critically involved in the formation and destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques in experimental animal models and in humans. Reduction of PARP1 activity by pharmacological or molecular approaches attenuates atherosclerotic plaque development and enhances plaque stability as well as promotes the regression of pre-established atherosclerotic plaques. Mechanistically, PARP1 inhibition significantly reduces monocyte differentiation, macrophage recruitment, Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) inactivation, endothelial dysfunction, neointima formation, foam cell death, and inflammatory responses within plaques, all of which are central to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. This article presents an overview of the multiple roles and underlying mechanisms of PARP1 activation (poly(ADP-ribose) accumulation) in atherosclerosis and emphasizes the therapeutic potential of PARP1 inhibition in preventing or reversing atherosclerosis and its cardiovascular clinical sequalae.

Abstract
Oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species can result in DNA damage within cells and subsequently increase risk for carcinogenesis. This may be averted by repair of DNA damage through the base or nucleotide excision repair (BER/NER) pathways. PARP, a BER protein, is known for its role in DNA-repair. However, multiple lesions can occur within a small range of DNA, known as oxidative clustered DNA lesions (OCDLs), which are difficult to repair and may lead to the more severe DNA double-strand break (DSB). Inefficient DSB repair can then result in increased mutagenesis and neoplastic transformation. OCDLs occur more frequently within a variety of tumor tissues. Interestingly, PARP is highly expressed in several human cancers. Additionally, chronic inflammation may contribute to tumorigenesis through ROS-induced DNA damage. Furthermore, PARP can modulate inflammation through interaction with NFκB and regulating the expression of inflammatory signaling molecules. Thus, the upregulation of PARP may present a double-edged sword. PARP is needed to repair ROS-induced DNA lesions, but PARP expression may lead to increased inflammation via upregulation of NFκB signaling. Here, we discuss the role of PARP in the repair of oxidative damage versus the formation of OCDLs and speculate on the feasibility of PARP inhibition for the treatment and prevention of cancers by exploiting its role in inflammation.

Abstract
PARP enzymes influence the immune system at several key points and thus modulate inflammatory diseases. PARP enzymes affect immune cell maturation and differentiation and regulate the expression of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, chemokines, inducible nitric oxide synthase and adhesion molecules. Moreover, PARP enzymes are key regulators of cell death during inflammation-related oxidative and nitrosative stress. Here we provide an overview of the different inflammatory diseases regulated by PARP enzymes.

Abstract
Inhibitors of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) family proteins are currently in clinical trials as cancer therapeutics, yet the specificity of many of these compounds is unknown. Here we evaluated a series of 185 small-molecule inhibitors, including research reagents and compounds being tested clinically, for the ability to bind to the catalytic domains of 13 of the 17 human PARP family members including the tankyrases, TNKS1 and TNKS2. Many of the best-known inhibitors, including TIQ-A, 6(5H)-phenanthridinone, olaparib, ABT-888 and rucaparib, bound to several PARP family members, suggesting that these molecules lack specificity and have promiscuous inhibitory activity. We also determined X-ray crystal structures for five TNKS2 ligand complexes and four PARP14 ligand complexes. In addition to showing that the majority of PARP inhibitors bind multiple targets, these results provide insight into the design of new inhibitors.

Abstract
Objective Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory process. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP), a nuclear enzyme linked to DNA repair, has been shown to be involved in atherogenesis; however, the effects on dendritic cells, T cells and serum auto-antibody levels are not fully understood. Methods Male Apoe-/- mice on a western diet were treated with the PARP inhibitor 1NO-1001 (n = 15), while the control group (n = 15) received 5% glucose solution for 10 weeks. Results Inhibition of PARP markedly reduced atherosclerotic lesion development (p = 0.001). Immunohistochemistry and mRNA analysis revealed a reduced inflammatory compound inside the lesion. Focusing on dendritic cells, INO-1001 reduced number of cells (p = 0.04), grade of activation, represented by I/12 (p = 0.04) and Cd83 (p = 0.03), and grade of attraction, represented by Mip3α (p = 0.02) in the plaque. Furthermore, INO-1001 decreased number of T lymphocyte (p = 0.003) in the lesion and grade of activation after stimulation with oxLDL in vitro. Moreover, serum IgM antibody levels to oxLDL were significantly lower in INO-1001 treated mice (p = 0.03). Conclusions Functional blockade of PARP by INO-1001 reduces atherosclerotic lesion development. The anti-atherogenic effect is beside already known mechanisms also moderated due to modulation of DC and T cell invasion and activation, DC attraction as well as IgM antibody levels to oxLDL.

Abstract
Cordycepin has been shown to interfere with a myriad of molecular processes from RNA elongation to kinase activity, and prevents numerous inflammatory processes in animal models. Here we show in a mouse model of LPS-induced acute lung injury that cordycepin prevents airway neutrophilia via a robust blockade of expression of several inflammatory genes, including the adhesion molecule ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, the cytokine/chemokine MCP-1, MIP-1α, MIP-2 and KC, and the chemokine receptor CXCR2. Such a blockade appears to be related to a severe reduction in TNF-α expression. Interestingly, in an in vitro system of A549 epithelial cell inflammation, cordycepin effectively blocked LPS-induced, but not TNF-α-induced, VCAM-1 expression. Such effects correlated with a marked reduction in p65-NF-κB activation as assessed by its phosphorylation at serine-536 but without an apparent effect on its nuclear translocation. The effects of cordycepin on the expression of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1, and of NF-κB activation and nuclear translocation upon TNF-α stimulation resembled the effects achieved upon poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition, suggesting that cordycepin may function as a PARP inhibitor. Indeed, cordycepin blocked H(2)O(2)-induced PARP activation in A549 cells. In a cell-free system, cordycepin inhibited PARP-1 activity at nanomolar concentrations. Similar to PARP inhibitors, cordycepin significantly induced killing of breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA1)-deficient MCF-7 cells, supporting its therapeutic use for the treatment of BRCA-deficient breast cancers. With added antiinflammatory characteristics, therapies that include cordycepin may prevent potential inflammation triggered by traditional chemotherapeutic drugs. Cordycepin, to the best of our knowledge, represents the first natural product possessing PARP inhibitory traits.

Atherosclerosis has been a target of much clinical and molecular research. As a result of this extensive research, it is amply clear that atherogenesis is a multifactorial process involving an interplay of metabolic, immune and inflammatory mechanisms. Antiatherosclerotic strategies are today aiming for a multipronged approach targeting each arm of this multifactorial process. The newer agents under development can be divided into three broad categories: anti-inflammatory agents, modulators of intermediary metabolism and antiatherosclerosis vaccines. Potential targets for anti-inflammatory agents include inhibition of conversion of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidised LDL, blocking or downregulation of cell adhesion molecules, chemokine modulation and macrophage receptor blockade. Beyond inhibition of plaque formation, efforts are also ongoing to develop agents which stabilise the plaque by increasing its fibrous content and inhibiting its disruption. So far as research in the sphere of intermediary metabolism is concerned, the focus is now primarily on raising high-density lipoprotein and promoting reverse cholesterol transport; potential targets include cholesteryl ester transfer protein, liver X-receptor, lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase and high-density lipoprotein mimetics. Acyl-coenzymeA: cholesterol acyltransferase is another enzyme whose selective and differential inhibition is under active investigation. The concept of immunisation against a non-communicable disease such as atherosclerosis is still in its nascent stages. However, with increasing evidence to suggest the role of antigen-specific T-cell-mediated immunity in atherogenesis, this approach is potentially promising. Possible antigens under evaluation include oxidised LDL and its subparticles, heat-shock proteins and cholesteryl ester transfer protein. With cardiovascular disease being the single leading cause of death worldwide, the development of a safe and successful antiatherosclerosis strategy (possibly employing a combination of agents acting at various levels) will indeed be a major 21st-century achievement.

Abstract
Recent findings that a novel polyunsaturated fatty acid, β-oxa 23:4n-6, inhibits adhesion molecule expression on vascular endothelial cells and leukocyte adhesion led us to examine its ability to inhibit the development of atherosclerosis in the apoE-deficient (apoE) mouse. The mice were kept on normal chow or a high-fat/high-cholesterol diet for various periods and treated with either vehicle or β-oxa 23:4n-6 by the intraperitoneal route. The hearts and aortae were isolated and lesion development at the aortic root was determined. Morphometric assessment revealed that lesion development was a function of compensatory aortic enlargement, suggesting that measurement of plaque size per se is the appropriate assessment of lesion size. Using this criterion, we found that atherosclerosis development was reduced in response to β-oxa 23:4n-6, plaque size by 74% and aortic cross-sectional area by 62%, under an optimized regime. The number of foam cells per unit tissue area in the lesions of β-oxa 23:4n-6-treated mice was significantly reduced by 37.5%. The blood levels of β-oxa23:4n-6 in these mice exceeded the concentrations previously found to inhibit adhesion molecule expression in cultured endothelial cells. These data show that β-oxa23:4n-6 protects against experimental atherosclerosis, most likely by reducing the number of infiltrating monocytes.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosylation) consists in the conversion of β-NAD(+) into ADP-ribose, which is then bound to acceptor proteins and further used to form polymers of variable length and structure. The correct turnover of poly(ADP-ribose) is ensured by the concerted action of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) enzymes, which are responsible for polymer synthesis and degradation, respectively. Despite the positive role of poly(ADP-ribosylation) in sensing and repairing DNA damage, generated also by ROS, PARP over-activation could allow NAD depletion and consequent necrosis, thus leading to an inflammatory condition in many diseases. In this respect, inhibition of PARP enzymes could exert a protective role towards a number of pathological conditions; i.e. the combined treatment of tumors with PARP inhibitors/anticancer agents proved to have a beneficial effect in cancer therapy. Thus, pharmacological inactivation of poly(ADP-ribosylation) could represent a novel therapeutic strategy to limit cellular injury and to attenuate the inflammatory processes that characterize many disorders.

Effects of PARP-1 deficiency on airway inflammatory cell recruitment in response to LPS or TNF: differential effects on CXCR2 ligands and Duffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokines.

Abstract
We reported that PARP-1 exhibits differential roles in expression of inflammatory factors. Here, we show that PARP-1 deletion was associated with a significant reduction in inflammatory cell recruitment to mouse airways upon intratracheal administration of LPS. However, PARP-1 deletion exerted little effect in response to TNF exposure. LPS induced massive neutrophilia and moderate recruitment of macrophages, and TNF induced recruitment of primarily macrophages with smaller numbers of neutrophils in the lungs. Following either exposure, macrophage recruitment was blocked severely in PARP-1(-/-) mice, and this was associated with a marked reduction in MCP-1 and MIP-1alpha. This association was corroborated partly by macrophage recruitment in response to intratracheal administration of MCP-1 in PARP-1(-/-) mice. Surprisingly, although neutrophil recruitment was reduced significantly in LPS-treated PARP-1(-/-) mice, neutrophil numbers increased in TNF-treated mice, suggesting that PARP-1 deletion may promote a macrophagic-to-neutrophilic shift in the inflammatory response upon TNF exposure. Neutrophil-specific chemokines mKC and MIP-2 were reduced significantly in lungs of LPS-treated but only partially reduced in TNF-treated PARP-1(-/-) mice. Furthermore, the MIP-2 antagonist abrogated the shift to a neutrophilic response in TNF-exposed PARP-1(-/-) mice. Although CXCR2 expression increased in response to either stimulus in PARP-1(+/+) mice, the DARC increased only in lungs of TNF-treated PARP-1(+/+) mice; both receptors were reduced to basal levels in treated PARP-1(-/-) mice. Our results show that the balance of pro-neutrophilic or pro-macrophagic stimulatory factors and the differential influence of PARP-1 on these factors are critical determinants for the nature of the airway inflammatory response.

Protective effects of PARP-1 knockout on dyslipidemia-induced autonomic and vascular dysfunction in ApoE mice: effects on eNOS and oxidative stress. PLoS One 2009; 4:e7430.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to investigate the role of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)-1 in dyslipidemia-associated vascular dysfunction as well as autonomic nervous system dysregulation. Apolipoprotein (ApoE)−/− mice fed a high-fat diet were used as a model of atherosclerosis. Vascular and autonomic functions were measured in conscious mice using telemetry. The study revealed that PARP-1 plays an important role in dyslipidemia-associated vascular and autonomic dysfunction. Inhibition of this enzyme by gene knockout partially restored baroreflex sensitivity in ApoE−/− mice without affecting baseline heart-rate and arterial pressure, and also improved heart-rate responses following selective blockade of the autonomic nervous system. The protective effect of PARP-1 gene deletion against dyslipidemia-induced endothelial dysfunction was associated with preservation of eNOS activity. Dyslipidemia induced PARP-1 activation was accompanied by oxidative tissue damage, as evidenced by increased expression of iNOS and subsequent protein nitration. PARP-1 gene deletion reversed these effects, suggesting that PARP-1 may contribute to vascular and autonomic pathologies by promoting oxidative tissue injury. Further, inhibition of this oxidative damage may account for protective effects of PARP-1 gene deletion on vascular and autonomic functions. This study demonstrates that PARP-1 participates in dyslipidemia-mediated dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system and that PARP-1 gene deletion normalizes autonomic and vascular dysfunctions. Maintenance of eNOS activity may be associated with the protective effect of PARP-1 gene deletion against dyslipidemia-induced endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent environmental pollutants implicated in the development of pro-inflammatory events critical in the pathology of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. PCB exposure of endothelial cells results in increased cellular oxidative stress, activation of stress and inflammatory pathways leading to increased expression of cytokines and adhesion molecules and ultimately cell death, all of which can lead to development of atherosclerosis. To date no studies have been performed to examine the direct effects of PCB exposure on the vasculature relaxant response which if impaired may predispose individuals to hypertension, an additional risk factor for atherosclerosis. Overactivation of the DNA repair enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) following oxidative/nitrosative stress in endothelial cells and subsequent depletion of NADPH has been identified as a central mediator of cellular dysfunction. The aim therefore was to investigate whether 2,2',4,6,6'-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 104) directly causes endothelial cell dysfunction via increased oxidative stress and subsequent overactivation of PARP. Exposure of ex vivo rat aortic rings to PCB 104 impaired the acetylcholine-mediated relaxant response, an effect that was dependent on both concentration and exposure time. In vitro exposure of mouse endothelial cells to PCB 104 resulted in increased cellular oxidative stress through activation of the cytochrome p450 enzyme CYP1A1 with subsequent overactivation of PARP and NADPH depletion. Pharmacological inhibition of CYP1A1 or PARP protected against the PCB 104-mediated endothelial cell dysfunction. In conclusion, the environmental contaminants, PCBs, can activate PARP directly impairing endothelial cell function that may predispose exposed individuals to development of hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
