The concerted action of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) which synthesizes the poly(ADP-ribose) (pADPr) in response to DNA strand breaks and the catabolic enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) determine the level of polymer and the rate of its turnover. In the present study, we have shown that the quail myoblast cells have high levels of basal polymer as compared to the murine C3H10T1/2 fibroblasts. We have conducted this study to investigate how such differences influence polymer synthesis and its catabolism in the cells in response to DNA damage by alkylating agent. In quail myoblast cells, the presence of high MNNG concentration such as 200 microM for 30 min induced a marginal decrease of 15% in the NAD content. For C3H10T1/2 cell line, 64 microM MNNG provoked a depletion of NAD content by approximately 50%. The induction of the polymer synthesis in response to MNNG treatment was 6-fold higher in C3H10T1/2 cells than in quail myoblast cells notwithstanding the fact that 3-fold higher MNNG concentration was used for quail cells. The polymer synthesis thus induced in quail myoblast cells had a 4-5 fold longer half life than those induced in C3H10T1/2 cells. To account for the slow turnover of the polymer in the quail myoblast cells, we compared the activities of the polymer catabolizing enzyme (PARG) in the two cell types. The quail myoblast cells had about 25% less activity of PARG than the murine cells. This difference in activity is not sufficient to explain the large difference of the rate of catabolism between the two cell types implicating other cellular mechanisms in the regulation of pADPr turnover.

PARP-1 (poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases) modifies proteins with poly(ADP-ribose), which is an important signal for genomic stability. ADP-ribose polymers also mediate cell death and are degraded by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). Here we show that the catalytic domain of PARG interacts with the automodification domain of PARP-1. Furthermore, PARG can directly down-regulate PARP-1 activity. PARG also interacts with XRCC1, a DNA repair factor that is recruited by DNA damage-activated PARP-1. We investigated the role of XRCC1 in cell death after treatment with supralethal doses of the alkylating agent MNNG. Only in XRCC1-proficient cells MNNG induced a considerable accumulation of poly(ADP-ribose). Similarly, extracts of XRCC1-deficient cells produced large ADP-ribose polymers if supplemented with XRCC1. Consequently, MNNG triggered in XRCC1-proficient cells the translocation of the apoptosis inducing factor from mitochondria to the nucleus followed by caspase-independent cell death. In XRCC1-deficient cells, the same MNNG treatment caused non-apoptotic cell death without accumulation of poly(ADP-ribose). Thus, XRCC1 seems to be involved in regulating a poly(ADP-ribose)-mediated apoptotic cell death.
