The nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase is involved in basic cellular processes such as DNA replication and repair, cell differentiation and transformation, gene expression. We have studied the effect of 2AAF, a genotoxic aromatic amine, on pADPRP activity during DNA synthesis stimulated by EGF, using the cultured rat hepatocytes model. DNA synthesis was measured as [3H]thymidine incorporated/microgram DNA while pADPRP activity was expressed in pmol[32P]NAD incorporated/min/microgram DNA. Our results show that 2AAF treatment of EGF-stimulated rat hepatocytes induces a full block of DNA replication which is preceded and accompanied by a net inhibition of endogenous and total pADPRP activity, respectively. A block in pADPRP activity in normal hepatocytes, exposed to 2AAF in vitro or in vivo, could play a key role in cell transformation. Our data add further information on the possible involvement of this nuclear catalytic activity during DNA replication.
