A series of potent tricyclic derivatives with a non-aromatic amide as potent PARP-1 inhibitors were successfully synthesized and their PARP-1 inhibitory activity was evaluated. Among the derivatives, 2-(1-propylpiperidin-4-yloxy)-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrophenanthridin-6(5H)-one 23c displayed potent activity in a PARP-1 enzymatic assay and cell-based assay ($IC_{50}$ = 0.142 ${\mu}M$, $ED_{50}$ = 0.90 ${\mu}M$) with good water solubility. Further, molecular modeling studies confirmed the obtained biological results.

(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a polyphenolic compound found in peen tea leaves, and has been known to be one of the most potent catechin species which inhibits cell growth most possibly through an apoptotic cell death. We investigated the apoptotic activity of (-)-EGCG on the human myeloid leukemia cell line, HL-60. Our results of MTT test indicated that (-)-EGCG had a significant antiproliferation effect in HL-60 cells with $IC_{50}$/ (50% inhibition concentration) value of 65 $\mu$M. Giemsa statining of HL-60 cells treated with (-)-EGCG (100 $\mu$M) for 6hrs showed a typical apoptosis-specific morphological change including shrinkage of the cytoplasm, membrane blobbing and compaction of the nuclear chromatin. The DNA fragmentation was observed from the agarose gel electrophoresis of cells treated with (-)-EGCG for 3hrs or longer, and was progressed to a greater degree as treatment time increases. Treatment of the cells with (-)-EGCG (100 $\mu$M) resulted in a rapid release of mitochondrial cytochrome c into the cytosol, and a subsequent cleavage of caspase-3 to an active form in a treatment-time dependent manner. (-)-EGCG (100 $\mu$M) also stimulated proteolytic cleavage of poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) to an active form in HL-60 cells. Tlken together, (-)-EGCG appears to induce the apoptosis in human myeloid leukemia cells via a caspase-dependent pathway. These results suggest the possible application of (-)-EGCG, the major active compound in green tea, as an antiproliferative agent for cancer prevention.

Objective : This study investigated the apoptotic effect and its mechanism of Radix Aconiti (RA) extract and aconitine, which is a major constituent of RA, in HepG2 human hepatoma cells. Methods : We used MTT and DNA fragmentation assay to investigate cell viability and apoptotic effect on RA extract-treated HepG2 cells. In addition, to clarify the mechanism of RA extract-induced apoptosis, we applied caspase-3 enzyme activity assay and Western blotting method on poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) protein expression. Results : Treatment with RA extract resulted in the decrease of cell viability, and this effect was caused from apoptosis as confirmed by discontinuous fragmentation of DNA in HepG2 cells, but aconitine did not. Also, RA extract-treated HepG2 cells induced the activation of caspase-3 enzyme activity in time- and dose-dependent manners, which was accompanied by the cleavage of 116 kD PARP to 85 kD product. Conclusions : These results suggest that the apoptotic effects of RA extract on HepG2 cells could not be explained by aconitine. Additionally, RA extract induced apoptosis in hepatoma cells through caspase-3 activation and subsequent PARP cleavage.

Induction of apoptosis allows the organism to get rid of abnormal cells and also of tumor cells. Understanding the mechanism involved in Ultraviolet radiation (UV) induced apoptosis may improve its therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we present expression of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) during apoptosis induced by UV in HeLa $S_3$ cells. Four different assays were performed in this study: morphological assessment of apoptotic cells and cell viability, DNA fragmentation analysis by agarose gel electrophoresis, quantitative assay of fragmented DNA, and expression of PARP by the western blot analysis. The percentages of apoptotic HeLa $S_3$ cells irradiated with $75J/m^2$ UV was increased continuously from 3 hrs incubation. DNA ladder pattern was appeared at 6 hrs. The amount of nucleosomal DNA fragments in cells treated UV increased from 3 to 12 hrs incubation and gradually decreased. The cleavage of PARP in HeLa $S_3$ cells irradiated with UV was induced, and the cleavage of PARP was more delayed in the cells pretreated with $5J/m^2$ UV and subsequently irradiated with $75J/m^2$ UV. than that in the cells only irradiated with $75J/m^2$ UV. Thus these data suggest that the cleavage of PARP relates with DNA fragmentation associated with apoptosis.

Butein(3,4,2',4-tetrahydroxychalcone) has been reported anticancer effects in several cancer type, which is prostate, bladder cancer but breast cancer is not. This study was to investigate the antiproliferative effects by butein(3,4,2',4-tetrahydroxychalcone) in MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells. We invastigated the effects of dose-dependently cell growth inhibition by butein, which could be proved by WST-1 assay. Also, flow cytometry analysis was butein increase percentage of subG1 phase. As well as, butein induces apoptosis through the expression of caspase-8,-3 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase(PARP) activation but not in DMSO treated cells. Taken together, this results suggest that butein induced MCF-7 apoptosis through extrinsic pathway and thus may have potential tumor suppressor in breast cancer.

This study examined the inhibitory effect of extracts of Trichosanthes kirilpwii sorted according to the parts on the growth of HL-60 cells. The growth of HL-60 leukemia cells was markedly inhibited by the treatment of the 80％ methanol extract of roots (10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mι), stems (50$\mu\textrm{g}$/mι), pips (10$\mu\textrm{g}$/mι), and gourds (100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mι), or the ethylacetate fraction of leaves (100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mι). when the HL-60 cells were treated with the extracts of T. kirilpwii sorted according to the parts, DNA fragmentation and sub-G1 hypodiploid cells were observed. Moreover, T. kirilpwii extracts increased the level of the expression of the active form of caspase-3 and the activation of caspase-3 was demonstrated by the cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, a vital substrate of effector caspase. The results suggest that the inhibitory effect of extracts of T. kirilpwii sorted according to the parts on the growth of HL-60 cells seems to arise from the induction of apoptosis.

The effect of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation on the stability of p53 in SK-HEP1 cells treated with UV light was examined. Intracellular levels of p53 increased in cells treated with a low dose of UV light ($20J/m^2$), whereas they increased but then declined after a higher dose of UV ($100J/m^2$). Intracellular levels of p53 in the UV treated SK-HEP1 cells were dependent on the UV dose. Use of proteasome inhibitors revealed that p53 is degraded by proteasomal proteolysis after high doses of UV light. We present evidence that, at low doses, poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) poly(ADP-ribosyl) ates p53 and protects it from proteasomal degradation before caspase-3 is activated, whereas at high doses the cells undergo UV induced apoptosis and PARP is cleaved by caspase-3 before it can protect p53 from degradation. Destabilization of p53 by cleavage of PARP may be important in cell fate decision favoring apoptosis.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is known to be involved in airway remodeling and fibrosis of bronchial asthma. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to EMT have yet to be fully clarified. The current study was designed to reveal the potential mechanism of microRNA-21 (miR-21) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) affecting EMT through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE cells) were transfected with miR-21 mimics/inhibitors and PARP-1 plasmid/small interfering RNA (siRNA). A dual luciferase reporter assay and biotin-labeled RNA pull-down experiments were conducted to verify the targeting relationship between miR-21 mimics and PARP-1. The migration ability of 16HBE cells was evaluated by Transwell assay. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting experiments were applied to determine the expression of Snail, ZEB1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, and PARP-1. The effects of the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 on the migration of 16HBE cells and EMT were investigated. Overexpression of miR-21 mimics induced migration and EMT of 16HBE cells, which was significantly inhibited by overexpression of PARP-1. Our findings showed that PARP-1 was a direct target of miR-21, and that miR-21 targeted PARP-1 to promote migration and EMT of 16HBE cells through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Using LY294002 to block PI3K/AKT signaling pathway resulted in a significant reduction in the migration and EMT of 16HBE cells. These results suggest that miR-21 promotes EMT and migration of HBE cells by targeting PARP-1. Additionally, the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway might be involved in this mechanism, which could indicate its usefulness as a therapeutic target for asthma.

연구배경: 활성산소종은 기계환기로 인한 폐손상 (ventilator-induced lung injury, VILI)에서 주요한 역할을 한다. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1)은 DNA 손상 감시 기능을 하는 단백질로서, DNA 파열을 신호하고 복구에 관여한다. 그러나 활성산소종에 의한 것과 같은 심한 유전자 손상을 받게 되면, 과활성화되어 ${\beta}$-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ($NAD^+$)의 결핍을 통한 세포의 사멸을 초래하여, 염증 반응을 일으킨다. 본 연구에서는 VILI의 기전에 있어서 PARP1의 역할 및 그 억제제의 효과를 고찰하고자 하였다. 방법: 48마리의 수컷 C57BL/6 생쥐를 겉보기 수술군 (Sham군), 폐보호적 환기군(lung protective ventilation group, LPV군), 기계환기기로 인한 폐손상군 (ventilator-induced lung injury group, VILI군) 및 PARP1 억제제인 PJ34 전처치 후 기계환기로 인한 폐손상군 (PJ34+VILI군)으로 나누어 실험하였다. LPV군에 대한 기계환기는 $PIP\;15cmH_2O$ + $PEEP\;3cmH_2O$ + RR 90/min. 조건으로, VILI 및 PJ34+VILI군에 대해서는 $PIP\;40cmH_2O$ + $PEEP\;0cmH_2O$ + RR 90/min.의 조건으로 2시간 동안 시행하였다. PJ34+VILI군에서 PARP1 억제제로는, PJ34 20 mg/Kg을 기계환기 2시간 전에 복강 내로 주사하였다. VILI의 정도는 습건중량비 및 급성폐손상 지수로 측정하였고, PARP1의 활성은 biotinylated NAD를 이용한 면역조직화학적 방법을 이용하였다. 또한 기관지폐포세척액 (bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, BALF) 내에서 myeloperoxidase (MPO) 활성 및 tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ ($TNF-{\alpha}$), interleukin-$1{\beta}$ ($IL-1{\beta}$), IL-6 등의 염증성 시토카인의 농도를 측정하였다. 결과: PJ34+VILI군에서 VILI군과 비교하여, PJ34 전처치로 인하여 폐손상의 정도가 현저히 감소하였다 (p<0.05). 5개의 고배율 시야에서 관찰한 PARP1의 활성을 보이는 세포의 수는 VILI군에서 유의하게 증가하였고, PJ34+VILI군에서 현저히 감소하였다 (p=0.001). BALF 내에서 측정한 MPO 활성 및 $TNF-{\alpha}$, $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6의 농도 역시 PJ34+VILI군에서 의미 있게 감소하였다 (p<0.05). 결론: VILI의 기전에 있어서 PARP1의 과활성이 주요한 역할을 하고, PARP1 억제제가 MPO 활성 및 염증성 시토카인의 감소와 함께 VILI의 발생을 억제한다.
