Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) has been proposed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of heart ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, the mechanisms of PARP-mediated heart I/R injury in vivo are still not thoroughly understood. Therefore, in this study, we investigate the effect of PARP inhibition on heart I/R injury and try to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Studies were performed with I/R rats' hearts in vivo. Ischaemia followed by reperfusion caused a significant increase in Poly (ADP-ribose) (PAR), c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) activity. Administration of 3,4-dihydro-5-[4-(1-piperidinyl)butoxy]-1(2H)-isoquinolinone (DPQ), an inhibitor of PARP, decreased myocardial infarction size from 61.11+/-7.46%[0] to 38.83+/-5.67% (P<0.05) and cells apoptosis from 35+/-5.3% to 20+/-4.1% (P<0.05) and simultaneously improved the cardiac function. Western blot analysis showed that administration of DPQ reduced the activation of JNK and attenuated mitochondrial-nuclear translocation of AIF. Additionally, administration of SP600125, an inhibitor of JNK, attenuated mitochondrial-nuclear translocation of AIF. The results of the present study demonstrated that the inhibition of PARP was able to reduce heart I/R injury in vivo. Our results also suggested that JNK may be downstream of PARP activation and be required for PARP-mediated AIF translocation. Inhibition of the activity of PARP may reduce heart I/R injury via suppressing AI...
