Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (Parp) monitors DNA strand breaks and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ates nuclear proteins using NAD as a substrate. The participation of Parp in DNA damage responses has been demonstrated by recent studies using Parp knockout mice. On the other hand, accumulated evidence has shown that Parp is involved in the regulation of gene expression and cell differentiation. In this study, the role of Parp in tumorigenesis and differentiation was studied with Parp-/- embryonic stem (ES) cells. When Parp+/+, Parp+/-, and Parp-/- ES cells were injected subcutaneously into nude mice, teratocarcinoma-like tumors developed from ES cells. However, only tumors derived from Parp-/- ES cells showed trophoblast giant cells (TGCs) containing single or multiple megalo-nuclei. These TGCs are located in a large blood-lake like hemorrhage. This example suggests that Parp is not essential for tumor formation, however, it is involved in trophoblastic cell differentiation and could consequently affect tumor phenotype.
