Does dNA maintenance following bleomycin-induced strand breaks require poly ( ADP-ribosyl ) ation activation in Drosophila S2 cells?
PARP responses in DNA strands-breaks context are functional in Drosophila model as demonstrated by PARP-I and PARP-II mRNA increases. However, no modification of the global PARylation profile is observed during strand-breaks generation, only changes at cellular levels are detectable. Taking together, these results demonstrate that PARylation process in Drosophila is tightly regulated in the context of strands-breaks repair and that PARP is essential during the maintenance of DNA integrity but dispensable in the DNA repair process.
As illustrated by our cases, Attain StarFix® leads implanted years ago can be extracted with the help of a mechanical extraction sheath. However, this procedure bears potential risks and should only be performed with a cardiac surgery standby. If clinicians evaluate the implantation of Attain StarFix® leads in patients who are young or at high risk for device infection, they should be aware of these findings.
