Sir,

Vitiligo is an acquired depigmentation disorder linked with genetic and non-genetic etiologic factors. Oxidative stress has been implicated as the initial triggering factor for melanocyte destruction in vitiligo.1 The poly adenosine diphosphateribose polymerases (PARPs) are a group of nuclear enzymes that repair DNA damage by polyADP-ribosylation using NAD+ as a substrate and implicated in vital cellular processes. Oxidative stress triggers DNA damage and hyperactivation of PARP1s, leading to cell dysfunction and death.2 The present study aimed to assess the impact of inhibition of PARPs using 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) induced oxidative stress in in vitro cultured normal human melanocytes.

The study plan was approved by the university’s Institutional Ethics Committee for Human Research (FS/IECHR/BC/RB/1). The skin samples were procured by punch biopsy and/or from the left-over skin after surgery to be used for melanocyte culturing. The rescue from oxidative stress in H2O2 treated normal human melanocytes was studied by inhibition of PARPs using 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline. Cell viability was monitored by trypan blue exclusion assay; cleavage and activity of PARPs were monitored by Western blotting and the transcript levels were estimated by real-time polymerase chain reaction. For in vitro studies, triplicate experiments’ data was analysed by Student’s t-test and oneway analysis of variance (Prism 6, GraphPad Software, Inc; San Diego, CA) as mean±standard error of the mean.

Our study observed a dose-dependent decrease in cell viability on H2O2 treatment, that is, 100 µM (P = 0.0248), 250 µM (P = 0.0014) and 500 µM (P < 0.0001) [Figure 1b]. 100 µM H2O2 (Lethal concentration 50% dose) was selected for downstream experiments. 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline (50 µM, 100 µM and 200 µM) could not significantly affect the morphology and viability of normal human melanocytes [Figure 1c]. Further, we monitored rescue of normal human melanocytes death with and without oxidant treatment by 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline. Interestingly, 100 µM 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline pre-treated cells showed a significant rescue from the cytotoxic effects of H2O2 on cell morphology [Figure 1a] and viability [Figure 1d]. A significant rescue was observed at 250 µM (P = 0.0022) and 500 µM (P = 0.0002) H2O2. However, no significant rescue was seen at 100 µM H2O2 (P = 0.0471) [Figure 1d].

Figure 1a:
Morphological effect of 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline on normal human melanocytes: No significant morphological effect was observed on 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline exposure on normal human melanocytes morphology. A significant rescue was observed from a dose-dependent H2O2 mediated cell death on 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline pre-treatment. Magnification ×10
Figure 1b:
A significant cell death was seen at 100 µM, 250 µM and 500 µM H2O2, respectively, (P = 0.0248, P = 0.0027 and P = 0.0021) compared to control
Figure 1c:
No significant effect on normal human melanocytes viability was observed on 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline exposure
Figure 1d:
A dose-dependent effect of H2O2 on normal human melanocytes viability with and without pre-treatment (4 hours) of 100 µM 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline. Significant rescue in cell death was observed at higher doses of H2O2 (P = 0.0471; P = 0.0002 and P = 0.0022); the values represent mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments

Earlier reports suggested the activation of caspases 3, 8 and 9 and elevated cleavage of PARPs in the depigmented epidermis compared with the normally pigmented one. Tulic group3 also observed increased activation of p38 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases cleavage in vitiligo patients. We further studied PARylation and PARP-1 activation on 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline mediated rescue from H2O2 induced apoptosis. 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline exhibited a significant restoration of a few normal human melanocytes proteins which were affected by H2O2. Hyperactivation of PARP-1 led to PARP-1 cleavage resulting in release of 89 kDa fragment followed by apoptosis. On the contrary, 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline suppressed the PARP-1 cleavage and apoptosis [Figure 2b]. Furthermore, normal human melanocytes exhibited a significant restoration in polyADP-ribosylation pattern and PARP-1 activation in 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline+H2O2 treated group compared to only H2O2 treated group [Figures 2a and 2b]. In line with our observations, the previous studies showed 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline rescued human cardiac myoblasts and rat cardiomyocytes exposed to H2O2. It has also been shown that 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline inhibit PARP activity and protect endothelial cells from oxidative stress.4 The effect of oxidative stress on microphthalmia-associated transcription factor-M (MITF-M), tyrosinase and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression was also studied in 50 µM and 100 µM of H2O2 treated normal human melanocytes. We observed, significantly decreased MITF-M transcript (P = 0.0083 and P = 0.0383) and protein (P = 0.0024 and P < 0.0001) levels at both H2O2 doses, respectively, [Figures 3a, 3d and 3e]. MITF regulates the expression of melanocyte-specific proteins required for melanin synthesis. Tyrosinase, the target gene for MITF-M was decreased in 50 µM (P = 0.0109) and 100 µM (P = 0.0439) H2O2 treated cells [Figure 3b]. However, there was no significant difference found in ICAM-1 transcript post-treatment with 50 µM (P = 0.0772) and 100 µM H2O2 (P = 0.1325) [Figure 3c]. In a recent review,5 parthanatos, which is PARP-1 dependent cell death, has been suggested as instrumental in oxidative stress-related diseases such as vitiligo and hence, inhibiting parthanatos to make melanocyte step back from the brink of parthanatotic cell death might be well pursuing. However, the exact role of parthanatos in vitiligo pathogenesis through PARP-1 activation need to be be explored in vivo and ex vivo using animal and human skin models.

Figure 2b:

Effect of oxidative stress on microphthalmia-associated transcription factor-M, Tyrosinase and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 and A dose-dependent effect of H2O2 on microphthalmia-associated transcription factor-M: (a) Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor-M transcript was significantly reduced in H2O2 treated cells compared to control (P = 0.0083 and P = 0.0383). (b) Tyrosinase transcript was also significantly reduced in H2O2 treated cells as compared to control (P = 0.0439 and P = 0.0109). (c) There was no significant difference in Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 transcript on H2O2 treatment compared to control (P = 0.0772 and P = 0.1325). Immunofluorescence analysis revealed a significant decrease in microphthalmia-associated transcription factor-M in normal human melanocytes treated with (d) 50 µM and (e) 100 µM of H2O2 for 24 h (P = 0.0024 and P = 0.0001). Results are mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments (magnification ×63)

Collectively, this novel preliminary study supports that inhibition of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases 1 by 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline attenuates H2O2 induced melanocyte death, signifying the role of PARP-1s in oxidative-stress mediated melanocyte death and in developing a potential therapeutic target for vitiligo.
