Amyloid beta peptide (A beta) causes neurodegeneration by several mechanisms including oxidative stress, which is known to induce DNA damage with the consequent activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1). To elucidate the role of PARP-1 in the neurodegenerative process, SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were treated with A beta(25-35) fragment in the presence or absence of MC2050, a new PARP-1 inhibitor. A beta(25-35) induces an enhancement of PARP activity which is prevented by cell pre-treatment with MC2050. These data were confirmed by measuring PARP-1 activity in CHO cells transfected with amylod precursor protein and in vivo in brains specimens of TgCRND8 transgenic mice overproducing the amyloid peptide. Following A beta(25-35) exposure a significant increase in intracellular ROS was observed. These data were supported by the finding that A beta(25-35) induces DNA damage which in turn activates PARP-1. Challenge with A beta(25-35) is also able to activate NF-kB via PARP-1, as demonstrated by NF-kB impairment upon MC2050 treatment. Moreover, A beta(25-35) via PARP-1 induces a significant increase in the p53 protein level and a parallel decrease in the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein. These overall data support the hypothesis of PARP-1 involvment in cellular responses induced by A beta and hence a possible rationale for the implication of PARP-1 in neurodegeneration is discussed.

Abstract

Amyloid beta peptide (A beta) causes neurodegeneration by several mechanisms including oxidative stress, which is known to induce DNA damage with the consequent activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1). To elucidate the role of PARP-1 in the neurodegenerative process, SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were treated with A beta(25-35) fragment in the presence or absence of MC2050, a new PARP-1 inhibitor. A beta(25-35) induces an enhancement of PARP activity which is prevented by cell pre-treatment with MC2050. These data were confirmed by measuring PARP-1 activity in CHO cells transfected with amylod precursor protein and in vivo in brains specimens of TgCRND8 transgenic mice overproducing the amyloid peptide. Following A beta(25-35) exposure a significant increase in intracellular ROS was observed. These data were supported by the finding that A beta(25-35) induces DNA damage which in turn activates PARP-1. Challenge with A beta(25-35) is also able to activate NF-kB via PARP-1, as demonstrated by NF-kB impairment upon MC2050 treatment. Moreover, A beta(25-35) via PARP-1 induces a significant increase in the p53 protein level and a parallel decrease in the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein. These overall data support the hypothesis of PARP-1 involvment in cellular responses induced by A beta and hence a possible rationale for the implication of PARP-1 in neurodegeneration is discussed.
