Abstract
OBJECTIVES In head and neck cancers, tumour cell repopulation during chemotherapy is one reason for treatment failure. Some of the mechanisms responsible for this repopulation are cell recruitment and abortive division. Due to lack of quantitative data in the literature regarding these mechanisms, the aim of this study was to investigate the interplay between recruitment and abortive division during cisplatin chemotherapy and to quantify the impact of these mechanisms on tumour control. MATERIALS AND METHODS An in silico Monte Carlo tumour model was developed to simulate tumour behaviour during chemotherapy. The virtual tumour had the composition and kinetic properties of a biological tumour. Effect of cisplatin on cell cycle and repopulation mechanisms were simulated and interpreted. RESULTS Abortive division contributed to cell production within the tumour during chemotherapy. There was a strong relationship between recruitment and tumour growth due to abortive division. This observation was supported by the value of proliferative/stem ratio, which increased from 1.3 to 36, even when using small recruitment parameters. CONCLUSIONS While abortive division contributed towards tumour repopulation during chemotherapy, this mechanism could be controlled by daily doses of cisplatin. On the other hand, stem cells require an additional cytotoxic agent to overcome repopulation due to cell recruitment. Consequently, repopulation via abortive division during chemotherapy did not entail alterations in treatment schedule, nor dose escalation, to control the tumour.

Abstract
A mechanism of the intrastrand 1,2-cross-link formation between the double-stranded pGpG·CpC dinucleotide (ds(pGpG)) and fully aquated oxaliplatin cis-[Pt(DACH)(H2O)2](2+) (DACH = cyclohexane-1R,2R-diamine) is presented. All structures of the reaction pathways including the transition states (TSs) were fully optimized in water solvent using DFT methodology with dispersion corrections. Both 5' → 3' and 3' → 5' binding directions were considered. In the first step there is a slight kinetic preference for 5'-guanine (5'G) monoadduct formation with an activation Gibbs free energy of 18.7 kcal/mol since the N7 center of the 5'G base is fully exposed to the solvent. On the other hand, the N7 atom of 3'-guanine (3'G) is sterically shielded by 5'G. The lowest energy path for formation of the 3'G monoadduct with an activation barrier of 19.3 kcal/mol is connected with a disruption of the 'DNA-like' structure of ds(pGpG). Monoadduct formation is the rate-determining process. The second step, chelate formation, is kinetically preferred in the 3' → 5' direction. The whole process of the platination is exergonic by up to -18.8 kcal/mol. Structural changes of ds(pGpG), charge transfer effects, and the influence of platination on the G·C base pair interaction strengths are also discussed in detail.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the single-stranded DNA trinucleotide TG*G*, with the G* guanines crosslinked by the antitumor drug cisplatin, were performed with explicit representation of the water as solvent. The purpose of the simulations was to explain previous NMR observations indicating that in single-stranded cisplatin-DNA adducts, the crosslinked guanines adopt a left-handed helical orientation, whereas in duplexes, the orientation is right-handed. The analysis of the MD trajectory of TG*G* has ascribed a crucial role to hydrogen-bonding (direct or through-water) interactions of the 5'-oriented NH(3) ligand of platinum with acceptor groups at the 5'-side of the crosslink, namely the TpG* phosphate and the terminal 5'-OH group. These interactions bring about some strain into the trinucleotide which is slightly but significantly (1-1.5 kcal.mol(-1)) higher for the right-handed orientation than for the left-handed one. During the unconstrained, 3 ns long MD simulation, left-handed conformations were ~15 times more abundant than the right-handed ones. This sampling difference agrees roughly with the calculated energy difference in strain energy. Overall, these results show that the Pt-GG crosslink within single-stranded DNA is malleable and can access different conformations at a moderate energy cost. This malleability could be of importance in interactions between the platinated DNA and cellular proteins, in which the DNA is locally unwound.

Abstract
Organometallic ruthenium(ii) anticancer complexes [(η(6)-arene)Ru(en)Cl][PF(6)] (e.g. arene = biphenyl (bip, 1), indane (ind, 2); en = ethylenediamine) bind to N7 of guanine (G) in DNA selectively. The fragment {(η(6)-bip)Ru(en)}(2+) (1') bound to N7 of one guanine residue at a 14-mer duplex DNA migrates readily to other guanine residues in both the same strand and the complementary strand when the strands are hybridized at elevated temperature. In this work, by applying HPLC coupled to mass spectrometry, the mechanism of such intra- and interstrand migration was investigated using a 15-mer duplex, in which one strand 5'-CTCTCTTG(8)TCTTCTC-3' (I) contained a single guanine (G(8)). The results show that the interstrand migration of complexes 1 and 2 within the duplex involves an SN1 pathway, firstly solvent-assisted dissociation of the initially G(8)-bound adducts I-G(8)-1' and I-G(8)-2' (2' = {(η(6)-ind)Ru(en)}(2+)) as the rate-controlling step, and secondly the coordination of the dissociated 1' and 2' to guanine bases (G(21) for 1', either G(21) or G(18) for 2') on strand II. The high temperature used to anneal the single strands was found to increase the migration rate. The formation of the duplex acts as a key driving force to promote the dissociation of G(8)-bound 1' and 2' due to the competition of cytosine in II with the en-NH(2) groups in 1' and 2' for H-bonding with C6O of guanine. Complex 2 (t(1/2) = 18 h) containing a mono-ringed arene ligand dissociates more readily from the initially binding site G(8) than complex 1 (t(1/2) = 23 h). The extended biphenyl arene ligand which is intercalated into DNA stabilizes the adduct I-G(8)-1'. These results provide new insight into this unusual metal migration, and are of significance for the design and development of more active organometallic ruthenium anticancer complexes.

Abstract
Platinum diamine complexes are able to crosslink the guanines of d(GC)(2) dinucleotides within double-stranded DNA. The interstrand crosslink thus formed causes a bend of the double helix toward the minor groove and the helical sense changes locally to left-handed, resulting in a considerable unwinding. The bend and unwinding angles have been shown to depend on the platinum ligands. Here, we have used molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the DNA 20-mer d(C(1)T(2)C(3)T(4)C(5)C(6)T(7)T(8)G*(9)C(10)T(11)C(12)T(13)C(14)C(15)T(16)T(17)C(18)T(19)C(20))-d(G(21)A(22)G(23)A(24)A(25)G(26)G(27)A(28)G(29)A(30)G*(31)C(32)A(33)A(34)G(35)G(36)A(37)G(38)A(39)G(40)) with the G* guanines crosslinked by cis-Pt(NH(3))(2)(2+), Pt(R,R-DACH)(2+), or Pt(S,S-DACH)(2+). Previous investigations on cisplatin interstrand adducts indicated that the structure is similar in solid state and in solution; thus, we used the reported X-ray structure of a cisplatin adduct as a starting model. Replacing in the MD-relaxed model for the DNA duplex crosslinked with cis-Pt(NH(3))(2)(2+) the two NH(3) platinum ligands by R,R-DACH or S,S-DACH led to clashes between the DACH residue and the deoxyribose of C(12). Confrontation of MD-derived models with gel shift measurements suggested that these clashes are avoided differently in the adducts of Pt(R,R-DACH)(2+)versus Pt(S,S-DACH)(2+). The R,R-isomer avoids the clash by untwisting the T(11)/A(30)-C(12)/G(29) step, thus increasing the global unwinding. In contrast, the S,S-isomer modifies the shift and slide parameters of this step, which dislocates the helical axis and enhances the bend angle. The clash that leads to the differentiation of the structures as a function of the diamine ligand is related to a hydrogen bond between the platinum complex and the T(11) base and could be characteristic of interstrand crosslinks at d(pyG*Cpy)-d(puG*Cpu) sequences.

Abstract
The differences in efficacy and molecular mechanisms of platinum anti-cancer drugs cisplatin (CP) and oxaliplatin (OX) are thought to be partially due to the differences in the DNA conformations of the CP and OX adducts that form on adjacent guanines on DNA, which in turn influence the binding of damage-recognition proteins that control downstream effects of the adducts. Here we report a comprehensive comparison of the structural distortion of DNA caused by CP and OX adducts in the TGGT sequence context using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. When compared to our previous studies in other sequence contexts, these structural studies help us understand the effect of the sequence context on the conformation of Pt-GG DNA adducts. We find that both the sequence context and the type of Pt-GG DNA adduct (CP vs. OX) play an important role in the conformation and the conformational dynamics of Pt-DNA adducts, possibly explaining their influence on the ability of many damage-recognition proteins to bind to Pt-DNA adducts.
