We have studied the effect of H2O2 and O2− produced by xanthine and xanthine oxidase on NAD catabolism, poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis, and production of DNA single-strand breaks in C3H10T1/2 cells. The results show a correlation between the induction of DNA single-strand breaks, the decrease of NAD pool, and the accumulation of polymer. New techniques, based on affinity chromatography and reversed-phase high pressure liquid chromatography, have allowed an accurate determination of polymer contents and showed a 20-fold stimulation of polymer biosynthesis induced by active oxygen species. Inhibition experiments performed with 3-aminobenzamide have shown that the decrease in NAD levels after exposure of cells to active oxygen species was caused by stimulation of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and of another cellular process.Key words: poly(ADP-ribose), free radicals, C3H10T1/2 cells, DNA breakage, NAD catabolism.
