3. Figure 2
Effect of PARS inhibitors on H2O2-mediated (1 mM for 1 hr) PARS activation. PARS inhibitors are: 3-AB (3 mM; N = 6), ISO (0.3 mM; N = 6) and Nic (3 mM; N = 6). Inactive structural analogs are: 3-ABA (3 mM; N = 6) and NicA (3 mM; N = 6). *P < 0.05 vs. control (□), +P < 0.05 vs. H2O2 control (▪).

7. Figure 6
Effect of PARS inhibitors and their inactive structural analogs on H2O2-mediated (1 mM for 4 hr) impairment of mitochondrial respiration. (A) 3-AB (0.1–10 mM; N = 6), (B) ISO (0.01–1 mM; N = 6), (C) Nic (0.1–10 mM; N = 6), (D) 3-AB (3 mM; N = 6), ISO (0.3 mM; N = 6), Nic (3 mM; N = 6), 3-ABA. (3 mM; N = 6) and NicA (3 mM; N = 6), *P < 0.05 vs. H2O2-control (▪). Rat PT cell cultures were also incubated with 1 mM H2O2 for 4 hours, after which viability was assessed after 24 hr (E) after incubations in the presence of 3-AB (3 mM; N = 4), ISO (0.3 mM; N = 4), desferrioxamine (DEF, 3 mM; N = 4) or catalase (CAT, 3 U/ml; N = 4), *P < 0.05 vs. H2O2-control (▪).

8. Figure 7
Effect of PARS inhibitors and their inactive structural analogs on H2O2-mediated (1 mM for 4 hr) LDH release. PARS inhibitors used 3-AB (3 mM; N = 6), ISO (0.3 mM; N = 6) and Nic (3 mM; N = 6). Inactive structural analogs (negative controls) used 3-ABA (3 mM; N = 6) and NicA (3 mM; N = 6). *P < 0.05 vs. H2O2-control (▪).

Correlation between H2O2-mediated PARS activation (1 mM H2O2; 1 hr) and LDH released into the incubation medium (1 mM H2O2; 4 hr). Raw data are from 12 separate isolations; r = 0.93; *P < 0.05 vs. controls.

10. Figure 9
Effect of PARS inhibitors, desferrioxamine and catalase on H2O2-mediated DNA single strand breakage after (A) 4 hours and (B) after 24 hours. Rat PT cell cultures were incubated with 1 mM H2O2 in the presence of 3-AB (3 mM; N = 4), ISO (0.3 mM; N = 4), desferrioxamine (DEF, 3 mM; N = 4) and catalase (CAT, 3 U/ml); N = (4), *P < 0.05 vs. H2O2-control (▪).
