The centrosome plays a vital role in maintaining chromosomal stability. Known as the microtubule organizing center, the centrosome is involved in the formation of spindle poles during mitosis, which ensures the distribution of the correct number of chromosomes to daughter cells. Aberrant centrosome duplication could cause centrosome amplification and chromosomal instability. We have previously shown that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is important for centrosome function and chromosomal stability. In this study, we used PARP-1(+/+), PARP-1(+/-) and PARP-1(-/-) primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts and found that the level of PARP-1 gene dosage correlates with PARP activity and the in vivo level of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation, which could explain the mechanism by which PARP-1 haploinsufficiency affects centrosome duplication and chromosomal stability. Our results emphasize that correct regulation of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation levels in vivo is important for maintenance of proper centrosome duplication and chromosomal stability.
