          Abstract

          Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activation after free-radical-induced DNA damage depletes cellular energy stores and participates in ischemia-reflow injury. We studied the potential protective effect of the water-soluble PARP inhibitor 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) in a rat model of acute renal failure (ARF) from combined administration of radiocontrast, indomethacin and N<sup>ω</sup>-nitro- L-arginine methyl ester. Kidney function at 24 h was better preserved in rats treated with 3-AB as compared to control animals. However, the extent of tubular hypoxic damage was not significantly mitigated. It is concluded that PARP inhibition may attenuate renal dysfunction in this model of ARF with medullary hypoxic tubular injury even while the extent of tubular necrosis is not significantly altered. Further studies of this dyssynchrony of structure and function may provide important insights into the sequence of events that promotes renal failure after medullary injury.

          PARP-2, A novel mammalian DNA damage-dependent poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase.

          Poly(ADP-ribosylation) is a post-translational modification of nuclear proteins in response to DNA damage that activates the base excision repair machinery. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase which we will now call PARP-1, has been the only known enzyme of this type for over 30 years. Here, we describe a cDNA encoding a 62-kDa protein that shares considerable homology with the catalytic domain of PARP-1 and also contains a basic DNA-binding domain. We propose to call this enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 2 (PARP-2). The PARP-2 gene maps to chromosome 14C1 and 14q11.2 in mouse and human, respectively. Purified recombinant mouse PARP-2 is a damaged DNA-binding protein in vitro and catalyzes the formation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymers in a DNA-dependent manner. PARP-2 displays automodification properties similar to PARP-1. The protein is localized in the nucleus in vivo and may account for the residual poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis observed in PARP-1-deficient cells, treated with alkylating agents or hydrogen peroxide.

            Diabetic endothelial dysfunction: the role of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activation.

            Diabetic patients frequently suffer from retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and accelerated atherosclerosis. The loss of endothelial function precedes these vascular alterations. Here we report that activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is an important factor in the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction in diabetes. Destruction of islet cells with streptozotocin in mice induced hyperglycemia, intravascular oxidant production, DNA strand breakage, PARP activation and a selective loss of endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Treatment with a novel potent PARP inhibitor, starting after the time of islet destruction, maintained normal vascular responsiveness, despite the persistence of severe hyperglycemia. Endothelial cells incubated in high glucose exhibited production of reactive nitrogen and oxygen species, consequent single-strand DNA breakage, PARP activation and associated metabolic and functional impairment. Basal and high-glucose-induced nuclear factor-kappaB activation were suppressed in the PARP-deficient cells. Our results indicate that PARP may be a novel drug target for the therapy of diabetic endothelial dysfunction.
