- Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-2 (Parp-2) belongs to a family of enzymes that catalyse poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of proteins. Parp-2 deficiency in mice (Parp-2−/−) results in reduced thymic cellularity associated with increased apoptosis in thymocytes, defining Parp-2 as an important mediator of T-cell survival during thymopoiesis. To determine whether there is a link between Parp-2 and the p53 DNA-damage-dependent apoptotic response, we have generated Parp-2/p53-double-null mutant mice. We found that p53−/− backgrounds completely restored the survival and development of Parp-2−/− thymocytes. However, Parp-2-deficient thymocytes accumulated high levels of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB), independently of the p53 status, in line with a function of Parp-2 as a caretaker promoting genomic stability during thymocytes development. Although Parp-2−/− mice do not have spontaneous tumours, Parp-2 deficiency accelerated spontaneous tumour development in p53-null mice, mainly T-cell lymphomas. These data suggest a synergistic interaction between Parp-2 and p53 in tumour suppression through the role of Parp-2 in DNA-damage response and genome integrity surveillance, and point to the potential importance of examining human tumours for the status of both genes.
