    Abstract:
    Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase family, member 1 (Parp1) has pleiotropic and disparate functions in multiple cellular signaling pathways through post-translational protein modification. It contributes to the regulation of various cellular processes, including DNA damage repair, cell death, and cell differentiation, genetically or epigenetically. Meanwhile, the functions of Parp1 in intercellular signaling remain to be established. To examine the functions of Parp1 in intercellular signaling, we examined microRNA (miRNA) regulation in exosomes derived from Parp1-deficient (Parp1-/-) embryonic stem (ES) cells. The percentages of miRNAs among total RNAs, including small RNAs such as miRNAs, snRNAs, snoRNAs, tRNAs, exonic RNAs, and intronic RNAs, in Parp1+/+ and Parp1-/- ES cell-derived exosomes were 8.2% and 3.5%, respectively. Overall, 329 distinct miRNAs exhibited ≥2-fold changes (118 upregulated; 211 downregulated). The upregulated miRNAs targeted 810 candidate genes, and the downregulated miRNAs targeted 716 candidate genes. Pathway analyses revealed that the upregulated miRNAs were significantly associated with five pathways including MAPK signaling cascades (p < 0.05), indicating that the target genes in these pathways were suppressed in Parp1-/- ES cells. In quantitative analyses of miRNA expression, miR365-3p, let-7a-5p, miR196b-5p, miR203-3p, miR98-5p, and miR146a-5p were increased by ≥ 2-fold in Parp1-/- ES cell-derived exosomes. Gene ontology enrichment analyses revealed that the upregulated miRNAs were significantly annotated for growth and stress-related cell signaling and cell communication (p < 0.05). Parp1 deficiency in ES cells led to inhibition of cell-cell communication, possibly by intercellular signal transduction, suggesting that Parp1 functions extracellularly by regulating exosomal miRNAs.
