PARP-1 downregulation may protect myotubes from oxidative stress in vitro; leaves open translation to human muscle disease or therapies.

Downregulation of PARP-1 during skeletal muscle differentiation serves as a protective mechanism to maintain cellular functions and mitochondrial integrity during oxidative stress.
Oláh et al. (2015) studied Oxidative stress in skeletal muscle. Myoblast differentiation and PARP-1 inhibition (PJ34) vs. Undifferentiated myoblasts and untreated controls was evaluated on Cell viability and mitochondrial function under oxidative stress (MTT and LDH assays) (p=<0.05). Downregulation of PARP-1 expression during skeletal muscle differentiation from myoblasts to myotubes significantly increases cellular resistance to oxidative stress and preserves mitochondrial function.
