PARP inhibition attenuates neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in chronic constriction injury induced peripheral neuropathy
Peripheral nerve degeneration after nerve injury is accompanied with oxidative stress that may activate poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP, DNA repair enzyme). PARP overactivation amplifies the neuronal damage either due to energy crisis or through inflammatory process by facilitating nuclear factor k...

Summary: | Peripheral nerve degeneration after nerve injury is accompanied with oxidative stress that may activate poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP, DNA repair enzyme). PARP overactivation amplifies the neuronal damage either due to energy crisis or through inflammatory process by facilitating nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB). Hence investigated the role of PARP inhibitors, 3-Aminobenzamide (3-AB) and 1,5-isoquinolinediol (ISO) in the attenuation of chronic constriction injury (CCI) induced peripheral neuropathy in rats.
3-AB and ISO (at doses 30 and 3mg/kg i.p., respectively) were tested in rats subjected to standard tests for evaluating hyperalgesia and allodynia. Sciatic functional index (SFI) was assessed by performing walking track analysis. Oxidative stress and inflammation induced biochemical alterations were estimated after 14days in sciatic nerve and lumbar spinal cord. Molecular changes were explored by immunohistochemistry and DNA fragmentation by TUNEL assay.
Treatment significantly improved sensorimotor responses (p |
