Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase plays a central role in poly(ADP-ribose) degradation, cleaving a(ribose-ribose) bonds to produce ADP-ribose. We previously generated Parg-deficient (Parg(+/-) and Parg(-/-)) mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells by disrupting exon 1 of the Parg gene, and showed the Parg(-/-) ES cells to be hypersensitive to methylmethanesulfonate, an alkylating agent. To clarify the role of Parg in the maintenance of genomic stability, we examined the frequency of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in Parg(+/+) and Parg(-/-) ES cells with and without methylmethanesulfonate treatment. No difference was observed in the spontaneous frequency of SCEs between the Parg genotypes, treatment with methylmethanesulfonate at 50 muM causing approximately 2-fold elevation in both cases.
