The metabolism of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) in response to DNA strand breaks, which involves the concerted activities of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG), modulates cell recovery or cell death depending upon the level of DNA damage. While PARP inhibitors show high promise in clinical trials because of their low toxicity and selectivity for BRCA related cancers, evaluation of the therapeutic potential of PARG is limited by the lack of well-validated cell permeable inhibitors. In this study, target-related affinity profiling (TRAP), an alternative to high-throughput screening, was used to identify a number of druglike compounds from several chemical classes that demonstrated PARG inhibition in the low-micromolar range. A number of analogues of one of the most active chemotypes were synthesized to explore the structure-activity relationship (SAR) for that series. This led to the discovery of a putative pharmacophore for PARG inhibition that contains a modified salicylanilide structure. Interestingly, these compounds also inhibit PARP-1, indicating strong homology in the active sites of PARG and PARP-1 and raising a new challenge for development of PARG specific inhibitors. The cellular activity of a lead inhibitor was demonstrated by the inhibition of both PARP and PARG activity in squamous cell carcinoma cells, although preferential inhibition of PARG relative to PARP was observed. The ability of inhibitors to modulate PAR metabolism via simultaneous effects on PARPs and PARG may represent a new approach for therapeutic development.

The poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) post-translational modification is essential for diverse cellular functions, including regulation of transcription, response to DNA damage, and mitosis. Cellular PAR is predominantly synthesized by the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). PARP-1 is a critical node in the DNA damage response pathway, and multiple potent PARP-1 inhibitors have been described, some of which show considerable promise in the clinic for the treatment of certain cancers. Cellular PAR is efficiently degraded by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG), an enzyme for which no potent, readily accessible, and specific inhibitors exist. Herein we report the discovery of small molecules that effectively inhibit PARG in vitro and in cellular lysates. These potent PARG inhibitors can be produced in two chemical steps from commercial starting materials and have complete specificity for PARG over the other known PAR glycohydrolase (ADP-ribosylhydrolase 3, ARH3) and over PARP-1 and thus will be useful tools for studying the biochemistry of PAR signaling.

Takashi Sugimura has accomplished many scientific achievements in the field of biochemistry and in cancer research. Sugimura's group identified the novel polymer poly(ADP-ribose) in parallel to P. Mandel's and O. Hayaishi's groups and demonstrated the presence of the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). He also discovered the cognate catabolic enzyme, poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) and further elucidated the biology of poly(ADP-ribose). The astonishing discovery of pierisin, an apoptogenic peptide that ADP-ribosyaltes DNA, profoundly illuminates his scientific character and curiosity as well. Sugimura's work in cancer research shows an extraordinarily wide range, which includes the establishment of new methods in chemical carcinogenesis, the identification of various environmental mutagens/carcinogens and new tumour promoters. He also established the concept that cancer is a disease of DNA and contributed to the development of the concept of the multi-step model of carcinogenesis.

Important cellular processes are regulated by poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation. This protein modification is catalyzed mainly by nuclear poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) 1 in response to DNA damage. Cytosolic PARP isoforms have been described, whereas the presence of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) metabolism in mitochondria is controversial. PAR is degraded by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). Recently, ADP-ribosylhydrolase 3 (ARH3) was also shown to catalyze PAR-degradation in vitro. PARG is encoded by a single, essential gene. One nuclear and three cytosolic isoforms result from alternative splicing. The presence and origin of a mitochondrial PARG is still unresolved. We establish here the genetic background of a human mitochondrial PARG isoform and investigate the molecular basis for mitochondrial poly(ADP-ribose) degradation. In common with a cytosolic 60-kDa human PARG isoform, the mitochondrial protein did not catalyze PAR degradation because of the absence of exon 5-encoded residues. In mice, we identified a transcript encoding an inactive cytosolic 52-kDa PARG lacking the mitochondrial targeting sequence and a substantial portion of exon 5. Thus, mammalian PARG genes encode isoforms that do not catalyze PAR degradation. On the other hand, embryonic fibroblasts from ARH3(-/-) mice lack most of the mitochondrial PAR degrading activity detected in wild-type cells, demonstrating a potential involvement of ARH3 in PAR metabolism.

Herpes simplex virus 1 infection triggers multiple changes in the metabolism of host cells, including a dramatic decrease in the levels of NAD(+). In addition to its role as a cofactor in reduction-oxidation reactions, NAD(+) is required for certain posttranslational modifications. Members of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family of enzymes are major consumers of NAD(+), which they utilize to form poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) chains on protein substrates in response to DNA damage. PAR chains can subsequently be removed by the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). We report here that the HSV-1 infection-induced drop in NAD(+) levels required viral DNA replication, was associated with an increase in protein poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation), and was blocked by pharmacological inhibition of PARP-1/PARP-2 (PARP-1/2). Neither virus yield nor the cellular metabolic reprogramming observed during HSV-1 infection was altered by the rescue or further depletion of NAD(+) levels. Expression of the viral protein ICP0, which possesses E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, was both necessary and sufficient for the degradation of the 111-kDa PARG isoform. This work demonstrates that HSV-1 infection results in changes to NAD(+) metabolism by PARP-1/2 and PARG, and as PAR chain accumulation can induce caspase-independent apoptosis, we speculate that the decrease in PARG levels enhances the auto-PARylation-mediated inhibition of PARP, thereby avoiding premature death of the infected cell.

We set out to investigate the role of poly(ADP-ribosylation), the attachment of NAD(+)-derived (ADP-ribose)(n) polymers to proteins, in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation of SAOS-2 cells and mesenchymal stem cells. In osteogenic differentiation medium, SAOS-2 cells showed mineralization and expressed alkaline phosphatase and osteoblastic marker genes such as Runx2, osterix, BMP2, and osteopontin. The cells also released hydrogen peroxide, displayed poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activation, and showed commitment to cell death (apoptosis and necrosis). Scavenging reactive oxygen species by glutathione or decomposing hydrogen peroxide by the addition of catalase reduced differentiation, PARP activation, and cell death. We silenced the expression of the main PAR-synthesizing enzyme PARP-1 and the PAR-degrading enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) in SAOS-2 osteosarcoma cells (shPARP-1 and shPARG, respectively). Both shPARP-1- and shPARG-silenced cells exhibited altered differentiation, with the most notable change being increased osteopontin expression but decreased alkaline phosphatase activity. PARP-1 silencing suppressed both apoptotic and necrotic cell death, but the PARP inhibitor PJ34 sensitized cells to cell death, indicating that the effects of PARP-1 silencing are not related to the activity of the enzyme. PARG silencing resulted in more apoptosis and, in the last days of differentiation, a shift from apoptosis toward necrosis. In conclusion our data prove that hydrogen peroxide-induced poly(ADP-ribose) signaling regulates cell death and osteodifferentiation.

Cigarette smoking can contribute to the development of many human diseases such as cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Thousands of compounds are present in cigarette smoke, including a large number of reactive oxygen species that can cause DNA damage, leading to the activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes. The PAR polymer is degraded by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). Here we have investigated the effects of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on A549 human lung epithelial cells. CSE induced DNA damage (comet assay), PAR accumulation (immunofluorescence and immunoblotting), impaired proliferation (clonogenic survival assay and electric cell-substrate impedance sensing measurement), and cell death (MTT reduction, propidium iodide uptake, lactate dehydrogenase release). CSE-induced cell death was also characterized by mitochondrial depolarization but massive translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor could not be observed. To investigate the role of PARylation in CSE-induced oxidative stress, PARP-1- and PARG-silenced A549 cells were used. Silencing of both PARP-1 and PARG sensitized cells to CSE-induced toxicity: PARP-1- and PARG-silenced cell lines exhibited reduced clonogenic survival, displayed a delayed repair of DNA breaks, and showed higher levels of cytotoxicity. CSE triggered the production of mitochondrial superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. Addition of superoxide dismutase increased, whereas catalase abolished, CSE-induced PAR formation. In summary, our data show that the superoxide-hydrogen peroxide-DNA breakage pathway activates the PAR cycle by PARP-1 and PARG, which serves as a survival mechanism in CSE-exposed cells. Our data also raise the possibility that the PARP-1/PARG status of smokers may be an important determinant of the efficiency of DNA repair in their lungs and of their susceptibility to CS-induced carcinogenesis.

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) is a posttranslational protein modification (PTM) catalyzed by members of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzyme family. PARPs use NAD(+) as substrate and upon cleaving off nicotinamide they transfer the ADP-ribosyl moiety covalently to suitable acceptor proteins and elongate the chain by adding further ADP-ribose units to create a branched polymer, termed poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR), which is rapidly degraded by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) and ADP-ribosylhydrolase 3 (ARH3). In recent years several key discoveries changed the way we look at the biological roles and mode of operation of PARylation. These paradigm shifts include but are not limited to (1) a single PARP enzyme expanding to a PARP family; (2) DNA-break dependent activation extended to several other DNA dependent and independent PARP-activation mechanisms; (3) one molecular mechanism (covalent PARylation of target proteins) underlying the biological effect of PARPs is now complemented by several other mechanisms such as protein-protein interactions, PAR signaling, modulation of NAD(+) pools and (4) one principal biological role in DNA damage sensing expanded to numerous, diverse biological functions identifying PARP-1 as a real moonlighting protein. Here we review the most important paradigm shifts in PARylation research and also highlight some of the many controversial issues (or paradoxes) of the field such as (1) the mostly synergistic and not antagonistic biological effects of PARP-1 and PARG; (2) mitochondrial PARylation and PAR decomposition, (3) the cross-talk between PARylation and signaling pathways (protein kinases, phosphatases, calcium) and the (4) divergent roles of PARP/PARylation in longevity and in age-related diseases.

In order to assess the variation in expression of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family members and the hydrolases that degrade the poly(ADP-ribose) polymers they generate and possible associations with classical pathological parameters, including long-term outcome, the mRNA levels of PARP1, PARP2, PARP3, poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) and ADP-ribosylhydrolase 3 (ARH3) were examined using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in 443 unilateral invasive breast cancers and linked to hormonal status, tumor proliferation and clinical outcome. PARP1 mRNA levels were the highest among these five genes in both normal and tumor tissues, with a 2.45-fold higher median level in tumors compared to normal tissues. Tumors (34.1%) showed PARP1 overexpression (>3 fold relative to normal breast tissues) compared to underexpression (<0.33 fold) in only 0.5%. This overexpression was seen in all breast tumor subgroups, with the highest fraction (51%) seen in the HR-positive/ERBB2-positive subgroup and was not highly associated with any other classical predictive factors. No correlation was seen between PARP1 mRNA and PARP-1 protein levels in a subset of 31 tumors. PARP3 was underexpressed in 10.4% of tumors, more frequently in the HR-negative tumors (25.4%) than the HR-positive tumors (5.9%). This PARP3 underexpression was mutually exclusive with a PARP1 overexpression. PARP2 levels were unchanged between normal and tumor tissues and few tumors showed overexpression of PARG (3.8%) or ARH3 (3.4%). Within the subgroup of triple negative tumors, PARG mRNA levels below the median were associated with a higher risk of developing metastases (p = 0.039) raising the possibility this might be marker of clinical outcome.

Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) turnover is required for many cellular processes, and highly relevant for cell death and survival. This post-translational protein modification is regulated by the synthesizing enzyme poly(ADP)ribose-polymerase (PARP) and the degrading enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). Previously, PARP activity was found to be involved in photoreceptor degeneration in the rd1 mouse and in rd1-like conditions PARP-1 was the main PARP family member contributing to photoreceptor cell death. Despite the manifest role of PARP and PAR accumulation in photoreceptor cell death, the influence of PAR degradation on photoreceptor viability was still unknown. Here, we investigated the role of PARG in photoreceptor degeneration using the PARG-110 knock out mouse and report for the first time on PARG expression in wild-type and knock-out retina.
