Recently the authors have reported the existence of adaptive response of an in vivo animal systems such as P. pictus and mouse and in vitro system of human lymphocytes. Different repair enzymes have been implicated in the process of adaptive response. In an attempt to understand the involvement of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in ethylmethanesulfonate (EMS) induced adaptive response of P. pictus, present investigations were undertaken by employing nicotinamide, an inhibitor of PARP. Inter-, pre-, and post-treatment expts. were carried out using meiotic cells of P. pictus. In inter-treatment expts. animals were treated with conditioning dose of EMS (0.03 M). One hour later they were injected with nicotinamide (5 mM) and then challenged after one hour with 0.12 M of EMS. In the pre- and post-treatments, nicotinamide was given 2 or 4 h before or after combined treatment (conditioning+challenging), resp. In all cases animals were sacrificed at 12, 24, 36, and 48 h recovery times. Regular squash prepns. were made from the testes and the stained slides were screened for the presence of anomalies at metaphase I and II and anaphase I and II. It is very interesting to note that in all cases there were significant redn. in the chromosomal anomalies compared to resp. combined treatment. From these results we can conclude that: (a) nicotinamide acts as a potentiator of inducible adaptive response and (b) PARP is not involved in the inducible adaptive response in the meiotic cells of P. pictus.
