Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The biological roles of poly(ADP-ribose) polymers (PAR) and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of proteins in the central nervous system are diverse. The homeostasis of PAR orchestrated by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) is crucial for cell physiology and pathology. Both enzymes are ubiquitously distributed in neurons and glia; however, they are segregated at the subcellular level. PARP-1 serves as a "nick sensor" for single- or double-stranded breaks in DNA and is involved in long and short patch base-excision repair, while PARG breaks down PAR. The stimulation of PARP-1 and PAR formation can activate proinflammatory transcription factors, including nuclear factor kappa B. However, hyperactivation of PARP-1 can result in depletion of NAD/ATP, and in PAR-dependent mitochondrial pore formation leading to release of apoptosis inducing factor and cell death. The role of PAR as a death signaling molecule in brain ischemia-reperfusion and inflammation as well as the effect of gender and aging is presented in this review. Modulating the PAR level through pharmacological or genetic intervention on PARP-1/PARG activity and gene expression should be a valuable way for neuroprotective strategy.
