Effect of aging and oxidative/genotoxic stress on poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 activity in rat brain.

Abstract: Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1, EC 2.4.2.30), a DNA-bound enzyme, plays a key role in genome stability, but after overactivation can also be responsible for cell death. The aim of the present study was to investigate PARP-1 activity in the hippocampus, brain cortex, striatum and cerebellum in adult (4 months) and aged (24 months) specific pathogen free Wistar rats and to correlate it with PARP-1 protein level and p53 expression. Moreover, the response of PARP-1 in adult and aged hippocampus to oxidative… Show more

“…However, we ought to keep in mind that AIF after translocation to nucleus exerted endonuclease activity and is responsible for the DNA degradation into 50 kb fragments [ 65 ]. Our data indicated that C2-ceramide caused the AIF release from mitochondria, which was also observed in other experimental conditions by [ 21 23 , 37 , 60 , 65 ]. Our study showed that PARP-1 inhibition significantly protected SH-SY5Y against ceramide-induced cell death by reducing the level of ROS production, thus preventing the AIF release from the mitochondria and increasing the mRNA level of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2.…”

“…According to the classical hypothesis (Zhang & Steiner, 1995) the free radical cascade that can be initiated with excessive liberation of NO leads to DNA damage that activates poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1). An enhancement of this enzyme activity was observed by us in aged brain (Strosznajder et al, 2005b). Massive single-or double strand breaks of DNA are responsible for PARP-1 overactivation.…”

“…The free radical-mediated damage of DNA causes activation of PARP-1 and depletion of βNAD + and may lead to a decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential and AIF release from mitochondria (Chiarugi & Moskowitz, 2002;Yu et al, 2002;Strosznajder et al 2005b).…”

“…Recent studies regarding PARP-1 in brain aging appear to support the hypothesis that decreased PARP-1 activity in response to genotoxic insults may contribute to brain aging. It was reported that PARP-1 is not activated by excessive oxidative/genotoxic stress in aged hippocampus, in contrast to a significant increase in PARP-1 activity in adults (268). There are also age-related alterations of PAR synthesis in rat cerebellum, including reduced PARP-1 activation in response to enzymatic DNA cleavage and cell type-specific loss of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation capacity in granule cell layer and Purkinje cells in vivo (269).…”
