DNA repair in cells sensitive and resistant to cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II): host cell reactivation of damaged plasmid DNA 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP) has a broad clinical application as an effective anticancer drug. However, development of resistance to the cytotoxic effects is a limiting factor. In an attempt to understand the mechanism of resistance, we have employed a host cell reactivation assay of DNA repair using a cis-DDP-damaged plasmid vector. The efficiency of DNA repair was assayed by measuring the activity of an enzyme coded for by the plasmid vector. The plasmid expression vector pRSVcat contains the bacterial gene coding for chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) in a configuration which permits expression in mammalian cells. The plasmid was transfected into repair-proficient and -deficient Chinese hamster ovary cells, and CAT activity was subsequently measured in cell lysates. In the repair-deficient cells, one cis-DDP adduct per cat gene was sufficient to eliminate expression. An equivalent inhibition of CAT expression in the repair-proficient cells did not occur until about 8 times the amount of damage was introduced into the plasmid. These results implicate DNA intrastrand cross-links as the lesions responsible for the inhibition of CAT expression. This assay was used to investigate the potential role of DNA repair in mediating cis-DDP resistance in murine leukemia L1210 cells. The parent cell line L1210/0 resembled repair-deficient cells in that about one adduct per cat gene eliminated expression. In three resistant L1210 cell lines, 3-6-fold higher levels of damage were required to produce an equivalent inhibition. This did not correlate with the degree of resistance as these cells varied from 10- to 100-fold resistant.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We report the preparation of two linear constructs which, when transformed into the procyclic form of Trypanosoma brucei, become stably inherited artificial mini-chromosomes. Both of the two constructs, one of 10 kb and the other of 13 kb, contain a T.brucei PARP promoter driving a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene. In the 10 kb construct the CAT gene is followed by one hygromycin phosphotransferase (Hph) gene, and in the 13 kb construct the CAT gene is followed by three tandemly linked Hph genes. At each end of these linear molecules are telomere repeats and subtelomeric sequences. Electroporation of these linear DNA constructs into the procyclic form of T.brucei generated hygromycin-B resistant cell lines. In these cell lines, the input DNA remained linear and bounded by the telomere ends, but it increased in size. In the cell lines generated by the 10 kb construct, the input DNA increased in size to 20-50 kb. In the cell lines generated by the 13 kb constructs, two sizes of linear DNAs containing the input plasmid were detected: one of 40-50 kb and the other of 150 kb. The increase in size was not the result of in vivo tandem repetitions of the input plasmid, but represented the addition of new sequences. These Hph containing linear DNA molecules were maintained stably in cell lines for at least 20 generations in the absence of drug selection and were subsequently referred to as trypanosome artificial mini-chromosomes, or TACs. 相似文献

Angiotensinogen is the precursor molecule of one of the most potent vasoactive substances, angiotensin-II. Angiotensinogen is normally synthesized in the liver and secreted into the plasma where it is converted into angiotensin-II by the combined proteolytic action of renin and angiotensin converting enzyme. Angiotensinogen levels in the plasma are modulated by a number of pathological and physiological factors. In order to understand the regulation of angiotensinogen gene expression, we have constructed an expression vector in which 688 bp of the 5'-flanking region of the rat angiotensinogen gene were attached to the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) coding sequence. We have also obtained 5'-sequential deletion mutants from the rat angiotensinogen promoter attached to the CAT gene, and have identified multiple cis-acting DNA sequences involved in the regulation of angiotensinogen gene expression by transient transfection of these recombinant DNA molecules in human hepatoma cell lines, Hep3B, and HepG2. 相似文献
