Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, which catalyzes the formation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymers, is an enzyme involved in cell proliferation, differentiation and transformation as well as in recovery from DNA damage. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymers are rapidly synthesized from the ADP-ribose moieties from intracellular NAD+, which, as a consequence, is depleted. It has been shown that DNA strand breaks are required for enzyme activation and it is suggested that one of the functions of poly(ADP-ribosylation) is to improve accessibility of damaged sites to other DNA repair enzymes. The aim of this study was to investigate whether poly(ADP-ribosylation) is involved in repair of (+/-)-7 beta,8 alpha-dihydroxy-9 alpha,10 alpha-epoxy-7,8,9,10- tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene [(+/-)-anti-BPDE]-induced DNA damage in human lymphocytes in vitro. Results show that (+/-)-anti-BPDE is capable of inducing poly(ADP-ribosylation), NAD+ depletion and inhibition of proliferation in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Also, repair of (+/-)-anti-BPDE induced DNA damage was confirmed by both unscheduled DNA synthesis and (+/-)-anti-BPDE-deoxyguanosine adduct removal. Based on these findings, it is concluded that poly(ADP-ribosylation) is involved in (+/-)-anti-BPDE-induced DNA repair in these cells. In addition, these results confirm the possible relation between poly(ADP-ribosylation), NAD+ depletion and inhibition of proliferation, after induction of DNA damage.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION. Blast Transformation,Blastogenesis,Lymphoblast Transformation,Lymphocyte Stimulation,Lymphocyte Transformation,Transformation, Blast,Transformation, Lymphoblast,Transformation, Lymphocyte,Activation, Lymphocyte,Stimulation, Lymphocyte
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D009243 NAD A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH).

D004249 DNA Damage Injuries to DNA that introduce deviations from its normal, intact structure and which may, if left unrepaired, result in a MUTATION or a block of DNA REPLICATION. These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS. DNA Injury,DNA Lesion,DNA Lesions,Genotoxic Stress,Stress, Genotoxic,Injury, DNA,DNA Injuries
D004260 DNA Repair The removal of DNA LESIONS and/or restoration of intact DNA strands without BASE PAIR MISMATCHES, intrastrand or interstrand crosslinks, or discontinuities in the DNA sugar-phosphate backbones. DNA Damage Response
