Poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors transiently protect leukemia cells from alkylating agent induced cell death by three different effects.

Abstract：

:Polyadenosylation of nuclear enzymes is well known to regulate the cellular repair capacity after DNA damage. PARP mediates the transfer of poly-ADP-ribose moieties on itself and other nuclear proteins by the breakdown of NAD+. The present study investigated how modulation of PARP activity interferes with cell death induced by two different alkylating agents used in cancer chemotherapy. 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidinium (MNNG) decreased cellular reduction capacity (WST-1 assay) in HL60 and CCRF-CEM cells, accompanied by increased activity of PARP and depletion of intracellular NAD+ and ATP. Pretreatment with the PARP inhibitors 3-AB or 4-AN resulted in transient cell protection, which was associated with a switch from necrosis to apoptosis in CCRF-CEM cells and enhanced apoptosis in HL60 cells. Both PARP inhibitors delayed the drop in WST-1 reduction and retained NAD+ and ATP levels required for apoptosis. Furthermore, 3-AB or 4-AN prevented progressive DNA degradation in MNNG-treated CCRF-CEM cells. In contrast to MNNG, we did not observe early activation of PARP, decrease in WST-1 reduction, or wasteful consumption of NAD+ and ATP after treatment with melphalan. However, preincubation with 3-AB or 4-AN resulted in decreased HL60 cell membrane blebbing and reduced formation of apoptotic bodies. In conclusion, the cell death preventing effects of PARP inhibitors are mediated by their ability to maintain cellular energy metabolism, to inhibit the activation of endonucleolytic DNA degradation and to prevent cell blebbing. Surprisingly, these protective effects of PARP inhibitors on different cell functions seem to be independent of each other and are rather determined by the respective cytotoxic mechanisms implicated by different drugs. Our results support the hypothesis, that PARP activation and/or cleavage plays a regulatory role in the induction of apoptosis.
