Transcriptional reprogramming and resistance to colonic mucosal injury in PARP1-deficient mice

ABSTRACT: Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) synthesize and bind branched polymers of ADP-ribose to acceptor proteins using NAD as a substrate, and participate to the control of gene transcription and DNA repair. PARP1, the most abundant isoform, regulates the expression of proinflammatory mediator - cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules, and inhibition of PARP1 enzymatic activity reduced or ameliorated autoimmune diseases in several experimental models, including colitis. However, the mechanism(s) underlying the protective effects of PARP1 inhibition in colitis and the cell types in which Parp1 deletion has the most significant impact are unknown. The objective of the current study was to determine the impact of Parp1 deletion on the innate immune response to mucosal injury. Genome-wide analysis of the colonic transcriptome was performed. Compared to WT, we demonstrated that Parp1-/-were protected from DSS-induced colitis and that this protection was associated with a dramatic transcriptional reprogramming in the colon. WT or Parp1-/- mice were treated with drinking water administered ad libitum without ot with 4% dextran sulfate (DSS) for seven days. Whole colon was collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Thee mice from each genotype/treatment groups were used in the analysis.

Project description:Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a highly conserved nuclear protein in multicellular organisms that modulates chromatin opening, and by doing so, it plays a significant role in gene expression regulation during development and differentiation. Despite its significance, all reported Parp1 total knockout mice strains are viable and fertile with no developmental anomalies. It was previously believed that functional redundancy with other PARP family members explain such a controversy. PARP2 is the main candidate to fulfill PARP1 functions in Parp1 knockout mice. Indeed, Parp1 Parp2 double knockout mice are arrested early in development and unable to proceed through gastrulation. However, while PARP2 has similar catalytic domain to PARP1, it lacks other domains that play important regulatory roles, thus making the lack of developmental problems in Parp1 mice total knockouts highly unlikely. To address this question, we checked the best investigated and publicly available Parp1 knockout mice strain. We found that Parp1 is still expressed in these mice, based on the presence of its mRNA transcript. Contrary to prior assumptions, we identified persistent mRNA expression in knockout mice, albeit at reduced levels. Detailed transcript analysis revealed an alternatively spliced PARP1 variant lacking exon two with introduced artificial cassette. Subsequent protein analysis confirmed the existence of a truncated PARP1 protein in knockout mice. We established embryonic stem cell lines from knockout mice and revealed the presence of pADPr. The decreased level of pADPr was detected in knockout ES cells with Western Blotting analysis, but immunofluorescence staining didn’t detect any difference in distribution or level of pADPr in nuclei of knockout ES cells compared to control ones. Moreover, in double Parp1 Parg mutant ES cells the accumulation of pADPr greatly exceeded its amount in normal and even in hypomorph Parg mutant ES cells, suggesting the presence of functionally active PARP1. Therefore, our findings challenge the conventional understanding of PARP1 depletion effects.
