Abstract

To investigate whether poly (ADP ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) is involved in chrysotile-induced DNA damage in pleural mesothelial cells (MeT-5A) and bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B), two PARP1-deficient cell lines were established. Efficiencies of RNA interference on PARP1 were detected by western blot and qPCR. Here, normal cells and PARP1-deficient cells were exposed to chrysotile, and DNA damage and DNA repair were detected by alkaline comet assay. All cells were treated with chrysotile at the indicated concentrations (5, 10, 20, and 40 μg/cm2) for 24 h and then the DNA repair capacity was observed for 12 and 24 h, respectively. The results showed that chrysotile caused DNA damage at an obvious dose-dependent manner in MeT-5A and BEAS-2B cells. In addition, MeT-5A cells had more persistent DNA damage than BEAS-2B. Compared to normal cells, the PARP1-deficient cells were more sensitive to DNA damage caused by chrysotile. In DNA repair experiments, all cell lines recovered from the damage over time. The results of relative repair percentage (RRP) of MeT-5A and BEAS-2B were higher than those of MeT-5A shPARP1 and BEAS-2B shPARP1 cells at all experimental concentrations (except 5 μg/cm2) at 12-h repair. However, RRP of BEAS-2B and BEAS-2B shPARP1 tended to be closer, and RRP of MeT-5A shPARP1 was still lower than that of MeT-5A at 24-h repair. All results suggest that PARP1 plays an important role in early repair of DNA damage in BEAS-2B and MeT-5A cells exposed to chrysotile.
