Crosstalk of moderate ROS and PARP-1 contributes to sustainable proliferation of conditionally reprogrammed keratinocytes.

ABSTRACT: Conditionally reprogrammed cell (CRC) technique is a promising model for biomedical and toxicological research. In the present study, our data first demonstrated an increased level of PARP-1 in conditionally reprogrammed human foreskin keratinocytes (CR-HFKs). We then found that PARP inhibitor ABT-888 (ABT), reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), or combination (ABT + NAC) were able to inhibit cell proliferation, ROS, PARP-1, and ROS related protein, NRF2, and NOX1. Interestingly, knockdown of endogenous PARP-1 significantly inhibited cell proliferation, indicating that the increased PARP-1 expression was critical for CR. Importantly, we found that a moderate level of ROS contributed the cell proliferation and increased PARP-1 since knockdown of PARP-1 also inhi
