Inhibition of poly (ADP-ribose) synthesis by agents such as 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) potentiates the cytotoxic, carcinogenic, and clastogenic effects of certain DNA-damaging agents. Experiments were carried out in Chinese hamster ovary cells to compare chromosome aberration production and cytotoxicity with the induction of somatic mutations at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) and sodium-potassium ATPase loci after treatment with 3-AB in combination with certain monofunctional alkylating agents. On its own, 1 to 10 mM concentrations of 3-AB were not mutagenic, reduced plating efficiencies only slightly, and produced a small elevation in the frequency of chromatid aberrations. In combination with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), 3-AB increased cytotoxicity and the frequency of alkylation-induced chromatid aberrations. 3-AB also increased the frequency of EMS and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine-induced 6-thioguanine-resistant cells (a marker for the HGPRT- phenotype). It had no effect on the frequency of EMS-induced ouabain-resistant cells (a marker for ATPase mutations). All the effects were dose dependent. Larger absolute increases were found with 10 mM 3-AB as compared with 1 mM 3-AB and with 2 mM EMS as compared to 1 mM EMS. The 3-AB-mediated increases in 6-thioguanine-resistant cells, which are often deletion mutations, and the lack of any increase in the frequency of ouabain-resistant cells, which can only arise through point mutation induction, along with the increases in chromosome aberration frequency, suggests that 3-AB increases the frequency of deletion mutations by increasing the frequency and duration of DNA strand breaks.

A study was made of the influence of inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase, topoisomerase I and topoisomerase II on the frequency of gene targeting of hprt gene as well as on the frequency of random integration of targeting vector pRV9.1 into genome of mouse F9 teratocarcinoma cells. We found that the treatment of cells with the inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase 3-aminobenzamide after electroporation resulted in 3-4-times increase of homologous integration of exogenic vector into chromosomal DNA, and did not affect the frequency of random insertion of transfected DNA. The treatment of cells after electroporation with inhibitors of topoisomerases VP-16, ICRF-193 enhanced random integration of transfected DNA but exerted no effect on the frequency of gene targeting in this experimental system.
