Background: Crohn’s disease (CD) is a multifactorial disease, characterized by oxidant-induced tissue injury with a possible activation of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1). However, there are no studies examining PARP activation in patients suffering from CD. MicroRNAs (miRs) can offer a potential missing link between the genetic susceptibility, environmental and immunologic factors involved in the pathogenesis of CD. Previously PARP-1 was identified as a direct target gene of miR-223 in an epithelial cell line.
Aims: to examine the level of PARP activation and the expression of miR-223 in colonic biopsies of pediatric CD; to study the role of inflammatory processes, the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on PARP activation and miR-223 expression is examined in HT-29 colonic epithelial cell line.
Methods: Colonic biopsies were taken from patients with macroscopically inflamed and intact mucosa with CD and controls. LPS treated HT-29 cells serve as our in vitro model. To analyze PARP activation; western blot analysis (antibody against the enzyme and the end product of PARP activation: poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR)), immunohistochemical (anti-PAR) and immunofluorescent (anti-PARP) labeling and real-time PCR (PARP-1 mRNA) were used. To analyze the expression of miR-223 real-time PCR was used.
Results: PARP-1 and miR-223 expression was elevated, however the amount of PARP and PAR was reduced in pediatric CD compared to the controls. The LPS incubation did not affect the expression of PARP-1 mRNA, however decreased the expression of miR-223, and enhanced PARP activation.
Discussion: In our study we showed that the expression of miR-223 is up-regulated and PARP activation is reduced in pediatric patients with CD. Moreover, we confirmed the opposite change in vitro, too. These data suggest that the hypofunctionality of PARP may play a potential role in the pathomechanism of CD.
