RESUMO
PARP-1-deficient mice display a severe defect in the base excision repair pathway leading to radiosensitivity and genomic instability. They are protected against necrosis induced by massive oxidative stress in various inflammatory processes. Mice lacking p53 are highly predisposed to malignancy resulting from defective cell cycle checkpoints, resistance to DNA damage-induced apoptosis as well as from upregulation of the iNOS gene resulting in chronic oxidative stress. Here, we report the generation of doubly null mutant mice. We found that tumour-free survival of parp-1–/–p53–/– mice increased by 50% compared with that of parp- 1+/+p53–/– mice. Tumour formation in nude mice injected with oncogenic parp-1–/–p53–/– fibroblasts was significantly delayed compared with parp-1+/+p53–/– cells. Upon γ-irradiation, a partial restoration of S-phase radiosensitivity was found in parp-1–/–p53–/– primary fibroblasts compared with parp-1+/+p53–/– cells. In addition, iNOS expression and nitrite release were dramatically reduced in the parp-1–/–p53–/– mice compared with parp-1+/+p53–/– mice. The abrogation of the oxydated status of p53–/– cells, due to the absence of parp-1, may be the cause of the delay in the onset of tumorigenesis in parp-1–/–p53–/– mice.
