Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)-1, an enzyme that catalyzes the attachment of ADP ribose to target proteins, acts as a component of enhancer/promoter regulatory complexes. In the present study, we show that pharmacologic inhibition of PARP-1 with 3,4-dihydro-5-[4-(1-piperidinyl)butoxyl]-1(2H)-isoquinolinone (DPQ) results in a strong delay in tumor formation and in a dramatic reduction in tumor size and multiplicity during 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene plus 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetateinduced skin carcinogenesis. This observation was parallel with a reduction in the skin inflammatory infiltrate in DPQ-treated mice and tumor vasculogenesis. Inhibition of PARP also affected activator protein-1 (AP-1) activation but not nuclear factor-
B (NF-
B). Using cDNA expression array analysis, a substantial difference in key tumor-related gene expression was found between chemically induced mice treated or not with PARP inhibitor and also between wild-type and parp-1 knockout mice. Most important differences were found in gene expression for Nfkbiz, S100a9, Hif-1
, and other genes involved in carcinogenesis and inflammation. These results were corroborated by real-time PCR. Moreover, the transcriptional activity of hypoxia-inducible factor-1
(HIF-1
) was compromised by PARP inhibition or in PARP-1deficient cells, as measured by gene reporter assays and the expression of key target genes for HIF-1
. Tumor vasculature was also strongly inhibited in PARP-1deficient mice and by DPQ. In summary, this study shows that inhibition of PARP on itself is able to control tumor growth, and PARP inhibition or genetic deletion of PARP-1 prevents from tumor promotion through their ability to cooperate with the activation AP-1, NF-
B, and HIF-1
