The recognition of poly ADP-ribose transferase-1 (PARP-1) as an ATP sensor receiving this energy source by way of a specific adenylate kinase ATP wire (AK) from mitochondrial ATP synthase (F0F1), and directly regulating cellular mRNA and DNA synthesis, was the first step towards the identification of an effect by PARP-1 that is of fundamental significance. The molecular target of AK-ATP is Arg 34 of the Zn finger I of PARP-1, which is also a site for cation-π interactions as a target of π-electron donors. We now identify this π-electron receptor site as the second active center of PARP-1 which by interaction with a π-electron donor-inducible MgATPase reversibly controls a malignant vs. non-malignant phenotype through energizing the NADH➝NADP+ transhydrogenase, a reaction which is the metabolic connection of PARP-1 to cell function. The specific enzyme-inducing action of the π-electrons is executed by the PARP-1 -topoisomerase I - DNA complex of the nuclei regulating both the nature and the quantity of cellular enzymes that constitute cell-specific physiology.

Historically, successful allotransplantation was only achieved by utilizing powerful immunosuppressive drugs that were exposing the patient to severe opportunistic infections. The thymus of the transplant recipient renders such therapy obligatory as it constitutively blocks self-reactive T cells while allowing alloreactive T cells to mature and populate the periphery. In 1992, a follow-up study revealed the presence of donor leukocytes in long-term transplant survivors.

In rodent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) models, anti-IL-21 neutralizing mAb treatment ameliorates lethality and is associated with decreases in Th1 cytokine production and gastrointestinal tract injury. GVHD prevention was dependent on the in vivo generation of donor-inducible regulatory T cells (Tregs). To determine whether the IL-21 pathway might be targeted for GVHD prevention, skin and colon samples obtained from patients with no GVHD or grade 2 to 4 GVHD were analyzed for IL-21 protein expression.
