Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the major autoimmune diseases of global prevalence. Irrespective of much research in RA disease, no drugs with capable safety profiles are yet available. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) synthesizes and transfers ADP ribose polymers to target proteins, and regulates DNA repair and genomic integrity maintenance. PARP-1 also plays a crucial role in the progression of the inflammatory response, and its inhibition confers protection in several models of inflammatory disorders. We investigated the possible anti-arthritic effects of the PARP-1 inhibitor 5-aminoisoquinolinone (5-AIQ) in a mouse model of adjuvant induced arthritis (AIA). In this study, we examined the effects of 5-AIQ on the key mediators of arthritic inflammation, namely, edema and arthritic score, T cell subsets, regulatory T (Treg) cells, IL-17A, GITR expressing cells, NF-kB p65, IkB-α and pro and anti-inflammatory mediators mRNA expression levels. PARP-1 inhibition 5-AIQ treatment significantly attenuated the severity of AIA, reduced the arthritis scores, a substantial reduction in the levels of T cell subsets, IL-17A, NF-kB p65, GITR expressing cells, and as well as the pro-inflammatory mediators. However, 5-AIQ significantly up-regulated the number of Tregs cells, IkB-α levels and mRNA expression of anti-inflammatory mediators. Our results suggest that treatment with 5-AIQ attenuated AIA in mice might offer a promising alternative/adjunct treatment for RA.
