Resistance to skin carcinogenesis in PARP-1 knockout mice due to a defective inflammatory response

Abstract

It is well known that inflammation is a key component in the initiation and progression of epithelial cancer [1]. In a recent studies [2] we have established that the absence of PARP-1 is able to slow down tumour formation and to increase the lifespan of p53 deficient mice. We and others have shown that PARP-1 is a transcriptional co-activator of NF-kB and PARP-1 knockout as a result of a diminished release of pro-inflammatory mediators, including NO [3,4]. In the present report we have studied the susceptibility to skin carcinogenesis in mice deficient for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1. In PARP-1–/– mice development of skin tumours induced by initiation with DMBA and promotion with TPA is strongly delayed, and the final number of tumour-bearing mice and total tumour number were significantly decreased in genetically deficient mice for PARP-1. The early stages of TPA promotion are characterized by keratinocyte hyperproliferation and inflammation. Nonetheless, epidermis of PARP-1–/– mice did not show increased proliferation rates. Derregulated NF-kB has been proven to be a hallmark for tumorigenesis together with the concomitant release of early inflammatory mediators, such as TNF-a. In the absence of PARP-1 NF-kB activation and induction of TNF-a did not take place during the initiation of tumour development in cell extracts from the epidermis of the carcinogen-treated area. In view of the important roles of NF-kB in tumour promotion/progression, these results suggest that inhibition of tumour development by the abolition of PARP-1 may be mediated by impairing signal transduction pathways leading to activation of NF-kB.
