Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PADPRP) is biologically significant in the rejoining of DNA strand breaks. Post confluent cultures of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes showed marked increases in PADPRP protein and activity when the cells were induced to differentiate into adipocytes. When this increase in PADPRP expression was prevented in stably transfected 3T3-L1 cells by induction of PADPRP antisense RNA synthesis, the cells did not differentiate nor undergo the two or three rounds of DNA replication that are required for initiation of the differentiation process. 3T3-Ll cells expressing PADPRP antisense RNA under differentiation conditions were easily detached from plates and in some cases eventually died. When newly expressed PADPRP protein and DNA synthesis was assessed in cells at zero time or at 24 h after induction of differentiation by incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine or [H]thymidine into DNA, significant incorporation was shown to occur in control cells after 24 h, but not in antisense cells. Furthermore, during the first 24 h, the co-immunoprecipitation of PADPRP and DNA polymerase was observed in control cells, whereas no such complex formation was noted in the induced antisense cells, nor in uninduced control cells.
