The DNA strand break-binding molecule, poly(ADPribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), plays a role in DNA repair, chromosomal stability, transcription and cell death. Accumulating evidence suggests that dysfunction of PARP-1 contributes to tumorigenesis. Here, we report that PARP-1 deficiency causes mammary carcinoma formation in female mice, and that the introduction of Trp53 mutations accelerates the onset and shortens the latency of mammary tumorigenesis. We show that PARP1 deficiency results in chromosomal aneuploidy and centrosome amplification, which are substantiated by the inactivation of Trp53 in primary mammary epithelial (PME) cells. In addition, PARP-1 deficiency compromises p53 activation and impairs BRCA1 recruitment to the sites of DNA damage in PME cells. PARP-1 complementation partly rescues the defective DNA damage response mediated by p53 and BRCA1. The present study thus identifies a role of PARP-1 in suppressing mammary tumorigenesis in vivo and suggests that dysfunction of PARP-1 may be a risk factor for breast cancer in humans.
