Activation of quiescent human peripheral blood lymphocytes or purified T cells by the mitogen, phytohemagglutinin (PHA), involves a rapid rejoining of DNA breaks present in the resting cells as detected by both nucleoid sedimentation analysis and rate of strand unwinding in alkali. Inhibitors of the enzyme ADP-ribosyltransferase (ADPRT) prevent activation of peripheral lymphocytes or T cells by PHA or concanavalin A in a dose-dependent manner, but only if present during the early stages. They do not affect subsequent proliferation if added later, nor do they inhibit the growth of lymphoblastoid cell lines. The inhibitors slow the rejoining of DNA breaks but do not affect the binding of mitogen to the cell surface or the early PHA-stimulated turnover of plasma membrane inositol phospholipids. DNA breaking and rejoining, regulated by ADPRT, may be involved in controlling gene expression during differentiation.
