NF-kappaB-dependent, as well as human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) long terminal repeat (LTR)-dependent, reporter gene expression was significantly impaired in cells derived from poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1)-knockout (PARP-1 -/-) mice. In addition, the level of protein acetylation was markedly lower in PARP-1 -/- cells than control (PARP-1 +/+) cells. Surprisingly, the expression levels of histone acetyltransferases (HATs), p300, cAMP response element-binding protein-binding protein (CBP), and p300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF), were significantly reduced in PARP-1 -/- cells, as compared with PARP-1 +/+ cells. These results suggest that PARP-1 is required for the proper expression of particular HATs. Since p300 and CBP are coactivators of NF-kappaB, we propose here that PARP-1 participates in NF-kappaB-dependent transcription by means of maintaining the expression of HATs.

As an enzyme that plays an important role in DNA repair, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) has become a popular target for cancer therapy. Nuclear medicine molecular imaging technology, supplemented by radiolabeled PARP-1 inhibitors, can accurately determine the expression level of PARP-1 at lesion sites to help patients choose an appropriate treatment plan. In this work, niraparib was modified with a hydrazinonicotinamide (HYNIC) group to generate the ligand NPBHYNIC, which has an affinity (IC) of 450.

Background: The Ets-1 transcription factor plays a primordial role in regulating the expression of numerous genes implicated in cancer progression. In a previous study, we revealed that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) inhibition by PJ-34 results in Ets-1 level increase in cells, which is related with cell death of Ets-1-expressing cancer cells.

Aims: The mechanism of the antitumor effect of PARP-1 inhibition was investigated in the Ets-1-expressing MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.

Breast cancer is a disease with a high mortality rate worldwide; consequently, urgent achievements are required to design new greener drugs, leaving natural products and their derivatives as good options. A constant antineoplastic effect has been observed when the phytoproduct contains an indole fragment. Therefore, the objective of this work was to carry out a thoughtful computational study to perform an appropriate evaluation of four novel molecules of the class of the 3-indolylquinones as phytodrug candidates for antineoplastic activity: thymoquinone (TQ), 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DMQ), 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DMMQ), and 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DHQ).
