Abstract

The human promyelocytic cell line, HL-60, shows large changes in endogenous poly(ADP-ribose) and in nuclear ADP-ribosyl transferase activity (ADPRT) during its induced myelocytic differentiation. DNA strand-breaks are an essential activator for this enzyme; and transient DNA strand breaks occur during the myelocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells. We have tested the hypothesis that these post-mitotic, terminally differentiating cells are less efficient in DNA repair, and specifically in DNA strand rejoining, than their proliferating precursor cells. We have found that this hypothesis is not tenable. We observe that there is no detectable reduction in the efficiency of DNA excision repair after exposure to either dimethyl sulphate or gamma-irradiation in HL-60 cells induced to differentiate by dimethyl sulphoxide. Moreover, the efficient excision repair of either dimethyl sulphate or gamma-irradiation induced lesions, both in the differentiated and undifferentiated HL-60 cells, is blocked by the inhibition of ADPRT activity.
