Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase plays an important role in cell survival and death. Our previous histological and ultrastructural studies showed that PARP inhibitor 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) protected neurons against death after ischemia. In this study we investigated the effect of 3-AB on the localization and expression of apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) and on two proteins from Bcl-2 family: Bcl-2 and Bax in hippocampal area CA1, on the 4th day after 3 min of forebrain ischemia in gerbils. Our results indicated that after ischemia AIF is preferentially translocated from the mitochondria to the cytoplasm and to the nucleus. Intravenous administration of 3-AB (30 mg/kg b.w.) prevents AIF translocation to the nucleus. AIF was mainly seen in the structurally unchanged mitochondria and Golgi complex. Moreover, after 3-AB administration overexpression of Bcl-2 protein was observed in mitochondrial membranes, rough endoplasmatic reticulum, Golgi complex, nuclear envelopes, and also in cytoplasm and in nucleus. These data suggest that inhibition of PARP activity may have a beneficial effect on hippocampal neurons through overexpression of Bcl-2 protein and suppression of AIF translocation to the nucleus.

Carvedilol a beta-adrenoreceptor antagonist with potent antioxidant properties raises high expectations in therapy of ischemia. In this study the effect of carvedilol on neuronal survival after transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils was investigated. The role of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1) in this process was evaluated. Our data indicated that carvedilol administered subcutaneously in a dose of 7 or 70 mg/kg b.w. directly after 5 min of transient forebrain ischemia protects significant population of neurons in hippocampal area CA1, but has no effect after induction of prolonged 10 min ischemia. Carvedilol significantly decreased PARP activity in hippocampus that was markedly increased after both 15 min and 4 days of reperfusion following 5 min of ischemia. Moreover, carvedilol prevented NAD+ depletion after ischemic-reperfusion insult. These results indicated that carvedilol protects neurons against death and suggested that suppression of PARP activity during reperfusion could be involved in this process.

There is no single factor responsible for liver injury after its temporary ischemia and reperfusion. We deal with a mosaic of biochemical processes, in which a number of cells, mediators and enzymatic systems take part. The mechanism of liver injury remains far from full explanation.
