Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) is being considered as a therapeutic target for the prevention of neurodegeneration. Here, we assessed the pharmacological tools available for target validation. The tannic acid derivative gallotannin inhibited PARG in a cell-free assay but had no detectable effect on PARG function in intact cells. Its cytoprotective actions were associated rather with the radical-scavenging potential of the compound. In astrocytes exposed to high concentrations of the nonoxidative DNA-damaging agent N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors were fully protective, while gallotannin enhanced the damage. The compound N-bis-(3-phenyl-propyl)9-oxo-fluorene-2,7-diamide (GPI 16552), considered a potentially specific PARG inhibitor, had no effect in the different astrocyte death models compared with PARP inhibitors. In an in vitro PARG activity assay, the maximal inhibition that could be achieved with GPI 16552 was only 40% at a drug concentration of 80 microM. We conclude that neither GPI 16552 nor gallotannin are suitable for the evaluation of PARG in cellular death models, and that previous conclusions drawn from the use of these compounds should be interpreted with caution.

We previously demonstrated that intravenous or intra-cerebral administration of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) inhibitors increases the antitumor activity of temozolomide (TMZ), an oral anticancer drug used for the treatment of malignant melanoma and primary or secondary brain tumors. Since the oral route has a number of advantages in terms of safety and convenience with respect to intravenous injection, in this study we tested whether administration per os of the novel PARP-1 inhibitor GPI 15427 allows sufficient absorption of the compound and achievement of brain concentrations capable of enhancing the efficacy of TMZ against tumors growing at the CNS. Pharmacokinetics analysis of GPI 15427 levels in plasma and brain was assessed in Sprague-Dawley rats after oral dosing, by liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry. Antitumor activity of oral GPI 15427 in association with TMZ was evaluated in BD2F1 mice injected intracranially with B16 melanoma or L5178Y lymphoma. Pharmacokinetics studies revealed that GPI 15427 possesses a substantial oral bioavailability (plasma Cmax after a single dose of 40 mg/kg: 1041+/-516 ng/ml). Moreover, the brain levels and brain/plasma ratios of GPI 15427 (3.37 at 0.5 h and 3.19 at 1 h) indicated that the compound readily penetrates the blood-brain barrier. GPI 15427 (10 or 40 mg/kg/per os) was then administered for five days, 1 h before TMZ (100 mg/kg/i.p.), to tumor-bearing mice. The results indicated that GPI 15427+TMZ was well tolerated and significantly increased life-span of the animals with respect to TMZ. In conclusion, PARP-1 inhibitor GPI 15427 is efficacious as chemosensitizer for the treatment of tumors located at the CNS site when it is administered by oral route.

ADP-ribosyltransferase-2 (ART2), a GPI-anchored, toxin-related ADP-ribosylating ectoenzyme, is prominently expressed by murine T cells but not by B cells. Upon exposure of T cells to NAD, the substrate for ADP-ribosylation, ART2 catalyzes ADP-ribosylation of the P2X7 purinoceptor and other functionally important cell surface proteins. This in turn activates P2X7 and induces exposure of phosphatidylserine and shedding of CD62L. CD38, a potent ecto-NAD-glycohydrolase, is strongly expressed by most B cells but only weakly by T cells. Following incubation with NAD, CD38-deficient splenocytes exhibited lower NAD-glycohydrolase activity and stronger ADP-ribosylation of cell surface proteins than their wild-type counterparts. Depletion of CD38(high) cells from wild-type splenocytes resulted in stronger ADP-ribosylation on the remaining cells. Similarly, treatment of total splenocytes with the CD38 inhibitor nicotinamide 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoroarabinoside adenine dinucleotide increased the level of cell surface ADP-ribosylation. Furthermore, the majority of T cells isolated from CD38-deficient mice "spontaneously" exposed phosphatidylserine and lacked CD62L, most likely reflecting previous encounter with ecto-NAD. Our findings support the notion that ecto-NAD functions as a signaling molecule following its release from cells by lytic or nonlytic mechanisms. ART2 can sense and translate the local concentration of ecto-NAD into corresponding levels of ADP-ribosylated cell surface proteins, whereas CD38 controls the level of cell surface protein ADP-ribosylation by limiting the substrate availability for ART2.

ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) transfer ADP-ribose from NAD to arginine, asparagine, or cysteine residues in target proteins. This post-translational protein modification is the mechanism by which cholera-toxin and other bacterial toxins cause pathology in human host cells. Molecular cloning has identified five toxin-related GPI-anchored cell surface ARTs in the mouse (ART1, ART2.1, ART2.2, ART3, and ART4) and three in the human (ART1, ART3, and ART4). ART2-which has sparked interest because of its ability to activate the cytolytic P2X7 purinergic receptor by ADP-ribosylation-is encoded by two functional gene copies in the mouse genome while the human genome carries two inactivated ART2 pseudogenes. We generated stable transfectants for FLAG-tagged versions of each of the functional human and mouse ARTs. Using genetic immunization we raised monoclonal antibodies that recognize the native human ARTs on the surface of living cells. Some of these mAbs recognize an epitope shared with the mouse ART orthologue but not with more distant ART paralogues. Screening of primary cells and established cell lines by FACS revealed expression of ART1 by monocytes, neutrophils and myeloid leukemia cell lines but not by cell lines derived from solid tumors. ART1 and ART4 have been assigned the designations: CD296, and CD297, respectively.

Disruption of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) pathways by inhibitors of PARP catalytic domain has been shown to increase the anti-tumour activity of temozolomide (TMZ). Since PARP is inhibited by poly(ADP)ribosylation, herein we tested whether inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) might enhance TMZ efficacy. The PARG inhibitor N-bis-(3-phenyl-propyl)9-oxo-fluorene-2,7-diamide (GPI 16552) was administered in combination with TMZ to mice injected subcutaneously or intracranially with B16 melanoma cells. The ability of treatment to reduce melanoma metastatic spreading and invasion of the extracellular matrix was also tested. The results indicated that combined treatment with GPI 16552 and TMZ significantly reduced melanoma growth, increased life-span of mice bearing tumour at the CNS site, and decreased the ability of melanoma cells to form lung metastases and to invade the extracellular matrix. In conclusion, PARG inhibition represents an alternative strategy to enhance TMZ efficacy against melanoma in peripheral as well as at CNS site.

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), a nuclear enzyme activated by DNA strand breaks, plays a detrimental role during inflammation. As inflammation is important in the development of colitis and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury of the intestine, we investigated the effects of 10-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-2H-7-oxa-1,2-diaza-benzo[de]anthracen-3-one (GPI 15427) and 2-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-5H-benzo[c][1,5]naphthyridin-6-one (GPI 16539), two novel and potent inhibitors of PARP-1, in a rat model of gut injury and inflammation, splanchnic artery occlusion (SAO)shock and dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (DNBS)-induced colitis. We report here for the first time that post-injury administration of GPI 15427 and GPI 16539 exerts potent anti-inflammatory effects by reducing inflammatory cell infiltration and histological injury, and delaying the development of clinical signs in both in vivo models. Furthermore, GPI 15427 and GPI 16539 treatment diminished the accumulation of poly(ADP-ribose) in the ileum of splanchnic artery occlusion-shocked rats and in the colons of dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-treated rats. Thus, GPI 15427 and GPI 16539 exhibited anti-inflammation activity against damage caused by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion and colitis. GPI 15427 and GPI 16539 may be useful for treating gut ischemia and inflammation.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors enhance the antitumor activity of the topoisomerase I inhibitor irinotecan (CPT-11), which is used to treat advanced colorectal carcinoma. Since PARP inhibitors sensitize tumor cells also to the methylating agent temozolomide (TMZ) and clinical trials are evaluating CPT-11 in combination with TMZ, we tested whether the PARP inhibitor GPI 15427 (10-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-2H-7-oxa-1,2-diaza-benzo[de]anthracen-3-one) increases the efficacy of CPT-11 + TMZ against colon cancer. Moreover, due to the ability of PARP inhibitors to avoid cell death consequent to PARP-1 overactivation, we evaluated whether oral administration of GPI 15427 provides protection from the dose-limiting intestinal toxicity of CPT-11. The results of colony formation assay indicated that GPI 15427 increased the antiproliferative effects (combination index <1) of TMZ + SN-38 (the active metabolite of CPT-11) against colon cancer cells. Accordingly, GPI 15427 (40 mg/kg/dayx5 days per os) in combination with TMZ (10 mg/kg/dayx5 days) + CPT-11 (4 mg/kg/dayx5 days) significantly reduced the growth of tumor xenografts. Oral administration of GPI 15427 (40 mg/kg/q2x3 days) prevented intestinal injury and diarrhea induced by CPT-11 (30 mg/kg/day x 3 days) reducing inflammation and PARP-1 overactivation, as evidenced by immunohistochemical staining of intestinal tissue with antipoly(ADP-ribose) antibody (Ab). In conclusion, the PARP inhibitor represents a novel strategy to enhance the antitumor efficacy and reduce toxicity of chemotherapy in colon cancer.

Poly(ADP-ribose) is synthesized from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) and degraded by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). The aim of the present study was to examine the role of PARG in the development of experimental colitis. To address this question, we used an experimental model of colitis, induced by dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (DNBS). Mice lacking the functional 110-kDa isoform of PARG (PARG(110)KO mice) were resistant to colon injury induced by DNBS. The mucosa of colon tissues showed reduction of myeloperoxidase activity and attenuated staining for intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1. Moreover, overproduction of proinflammatory factors TNF-alpha and IL-1beta and activation of cell death signaling pathway, i.e., the FAS ligand, were inhibited in these mutant mice. Finally pharmacological treatment of WT mice with GPI 16552 and 18214, two novel PARG inhibitors, showed a significant protective effect in DNBS-induced colitis. These genetic and pharmacological studies demonstrate that PARG modulates the inflammatory response and tissue injury events associated with colitis and PARG may be considered as a novel target for pharmacological intervention for the pathogenesis.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)-1 has recently been shown to promote tumour progression. Since angiogenesis is an essential requirement for tumour growth, we examined whether PARP inhibition/deletion might affect endothelial cell functions. To this end, the influence of PARP inhibitors on endothelial cell proliferation, migration, tube formation and angiogenesis in PARP-1 knock-out mice, using an in vivo matrigel plug assay, was investigated. The results indicated that the PARP inhibitor GPI 15427 (IC50 on endothelial PARP: 237 +/- 27 nM), at concentrations devoid of cytotoxic effects (0.5-1 microM), abrogated migration in response to vascular endothelial growth factor or placenta growth factor, hampered formation of tubule-like networks and impaired angiogenesis in vivo. The anti-angiogenic effect of the PARP inhibitor was confirmed in PARP-1 knock-out mice that displayed a defect of angiogenesis induced by growth factors. These results provide evidence for targeting PARP for anti-angiogenesis, adding novel therapeutic implications to the use of PARP inhibitors in cancer treatment.

Nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide (NAD) can act as a modulator of multiple immune and inflammatory responses when released into extracellular compartments. These actions of extracellular NAD are largely mediated by a family of mammalian ecto-ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) that covalently modify target extracellular or cell surface proteins by transferring ADP-ribose to arginine or cysteine residues. In this study, we report that bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) from BALB/c mice lack constitutive expression of any of the six murine ecto-ART subtypes, but selectively up-regulate ART2.1 in response to multiple proinflammatory mediators including agonists for TLR and type I and type II IFN. Stimulation of BMDM with LPS, IFN-beta, or IFN-gamma induced high expression of ART2.1, but not ART2.2, as a GPI-anchored cell surface ectoenzyme. ART2.1 expression in response to LPS was potentiated by inhibition of ERK1/2 signaling, but inhibited by blockade of the NF-kappaB, PI3K, and JAK-STAT pathways or the presence of neutralizing anti-IFN-beta. The catalytic function of the induced cell surface ART2.1 was strictly dependent on the presence of extracellular thiol-reducing cofactors, suggesting that in vivo activity of ART2.1-expressing macrophages may be potentiated in hypoxic or ischemic compartments. Consistent with the mutated art2a gene in C57BL/6 mice, LPS- or IFN-stimulated BMDM from this strain lacked expression of cell surface ART2 activity in the presence or absence of extracellular thiol reductants. Collectively, these studies identify ART2.1 as a new candidate for linking autocrine/paracrine activation of inflammatory macrophages to the release of NAD, a critical intracellular metabolite.
