Psychological stress has been associated with DNA damage, thus increasing the risk of numerous diseases including cancer. Here, we investigate the effect of acute and chronic stress on poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), a sensor of DNA damage and DNA repair initiator. In order to mimic the chronic release of epinephrine, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were treated repeatedly with the sympathomimetic drug isoproterenol. We found significant induction of DNA strand breaks that remained unrepaired 24 h after ex vivo incubation. Isoproterenol-induced DNA strand breaks could be partially prevented by pre-treatment with the β-adrenergic receptor antagonist propranolol. Furthermore, the level of PARP-1 protein and PARP activity decreased and the levels of the PARP substrate nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), necessary to replenish NAD pools, were lowered by isoproterenol treatment. In conclusion our data provide novel insights into the mechanisms of isoproterenol-induced genotoxicity linking β-adrenergic stimulation and PARP-1.

DNA replication stress (RS), a prevalent feature of various malignancies, arises from both genetic mutations and genotoxic exposure. Elevated RS levels increase the vulnerability of cancer cells to ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related kinase inhibitors (ATRis). Here, we screened for DNA damage response inhibitors that enhance ATRi-induced cytotoxicity using SWI/SNF complex-deficient cells and identified a potent synergy between ATRi and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi), particularly in SMARCA4-deficient cells.

Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) is a well-established target for cancer therapy. Herein, we developed as a novel HDAC3 inhibitor, which exhibited high HDAC3 inhibitory activity (IC = 42 nM, SI > 161) and displayed potent antiproliferative activity against four cancer cells and further demonstrated excellent antimigratory, anti-invasive, and antiwound healing activities. Further studies revealed that induced a dose-dependent increase in Ac-H3 expression and promoted the degradation of PD-L1.

Hepatic lipotoxicity, resulting from excessive lipid accumulation in hepatocytes, plays a central role in the pathogenesis of various metabolic liver diseases. Despite recent progress, the precise mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Employing excessive exposure to palmitate in hepatocytes as our primary experimental model and mice studies, we aimed to uncover the mechanisms behind hepatic lipotoxicity, thereby developing potential treatments.
