Abstract
Apoptosis of human breast carcinoma cells (SKBR-3, MCF-7, and MDA-468) has been observed after treatment of these cells with anti-cancer drug cis-platin and glycosphingolipid biosynthesis inhibitor L- and D-PPMP, respectively. These drugs initiated apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner as measured by phenotypic morphological changes, by binding of a fluorescent phophatidyl serine-specific dye (PSS-380) onto the outer leaflet of the cell membranes, and by activation of caspases, -3, -8, and -9. It was observed that in two hours very little apoptotic process had started but predominant biochemical changes occurred after 6 h. DNA degradation started after 24 hours of drug treatment. However, very little is known about the stability of the ';Replication Complexes'' during the apoptotic process. DNA helicases are motor proteins that catalyze the melting of genomic DNA during its replication, repair, and recombination processes. Previously, DNA helicase-III was characterized as a component of the replication complexes isolated from embryonic chicken brains as well as breast and colon carcinoma cells. Helicase activities were measured by a novel method (ROME assay), and DNA polymerase-alpha activities were determined by regular chain extension of the nicked ACT-DNA, by determining values obtained from +/- aphidicolin-treated incubation mixtures. In all three breast carcinoma cell lines, a common trend was observed: a decrease of activities of DNA polymerase-alpha and Helicase III. A sharp decrease of activities of the glycolipid sialyltransferases: SAT-2 (CMP-NeuAc; GD3 alpha2-8 sialyltransferase) and SAT-4 (CMP-NeuAc: GM1a alpha2-3 sialyltransferase) was observed in the apoptotic carcinoma cells treated with L-PPMP compared with cis-platin.

Abstract
The interaction specificities of Co(III) with DNA were investigated via consideration of thermodynamic characteristics of the duplex to single strand transition for DNA oligomers incubated in the presence of [Co(NH3)5(OH2)](ClO4)3. It has previously been demonstrated that incubation of the DNA oligomer [(5medC-dG)4]2 with this cobalt complex leads to coordination of the cobalt center to the DNA, presumably at N7 of guanine bases [D. C. Calderone, E. J. Mantilla, M. Hicks, D. H. Huchital, W. R. Murphy, Jr. and R. D. Sheardy, (1995) Biochemistry 34, 13841]. In this report, DNA oligomers of different sequence were incubated with [Co(NH3)5(OH2)](ClO4)3 via protocols developed previously and the treated oligomers were subjected to thermal denaturation for comparison to the untreated oligomers. The DNA oligomers were designed in order to investigate the sequence specificity, if any, in the reaction of the cobalt complex with DNA. The values of Tm, delta HvH, and delta n (the differential ion binding term) obtained from the thermal denaturations were used to assess the sequence specificity of the interaction. For all oligomers, treated or untreated, Tm and delta HvH vary linearly with log [Na+] and hence the value of delta n is a function of the Na+ concentration. The results indicate no significant reaction between the cobalt complex and oligomers possessing isolated -GA- or -CG- sites; however, the thermodynamic characteristics of DNA oligomers possessing either an isolated -GG- site or an isolated -GC- site were altered by the treatment. Atomic absorption studies of the treated oligomers demonstrate that only the DNA oligomers possessing isolated -GG- or -GC- sites bind cobalt. Hence, the changes in the thermodynamic properties of these oligomers are a result of cobalt binding with a remarkable sequence specificity.

Abstract
Negatively supercoiled, relaxed and linearized forms of pSP73 DNA were modified in cell-free medium by cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin). The frequency of interstrand cross-links (ICLs) formed in these DNAs has been determined by: (i) immunochemical analysis; (ii) an assay employing NaCN as a probe of DNA ICLs of cisplatin; (iii) gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions. At low levels of the modification of DNA (<1 Pt atom fixed per 500 bp) the number of ICLs formed by cisplatin was radically enhanced in supercoiled in comparison with linearized or relaxed DNA. At these low levels of modification, the frequency of ICLs in supercoiled DNA was enhanced with increasing level of negative supercoiling or with decreasing level of modification. In addition, the replication mapping of DNA ICLs of cisplatin was consistent with these lesions being preferentially formed in negatively supercoiled DNA between guanine residues in both the 5'-d(GC)-3' and the 5'-d(CG)-3' sites. Among the DNA adducts of cisplatin the ICL has the markedly greatest capability to unwind the double helix. We suggest that the formation of ICLs of cisplatin is thermodynamically more favored in negatively supercoiled DNA owing mainly to the relaxation of supercoils.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence specificity of the DNA-DNA interstrand cross-linking reaction of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP) was studied in synthetic oligonucleotides. Of six self-complementary DNAs tested, only those containing the central sequence 5'-d(GC) formed appreciable interstrand cross-linked product, as assayed by denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (DPAGE). The nucleotide connectivity of the interstrand cross-link was defined by sequence random oxidative fragmentation followed by DPAGE, revealing that dG residues on opposite strands at the sequence 5'-d(GC) were connected to one another. The covalent structure of the cross-link was established following hydrolysis of the phosphodiester backbone of a structurally homogeneous sample of a cis-DDP interstrand cross-linked DNA tetradecamer. HPLC analysis of the hydrolysate returned all of the deoxynucleoside residues from the starting DNA except for two deoxyguanosine residues. Also returned was diammine-bis-[N7-(2'- deoxyguanosyl)]platinum(II)2+, identified by a combination of spectroscopic methods, and comparison to a synthetic authentic sample. This study directly establishes that cis-DDP forms interstrand cross-links at the duplex sequence 5'-d(GC), linking deoxyguanosine residues on opposite strands at N7 through a bridging platinum atom. Computer simulation of the interstrand cross-linked product using molecular mechanics energy minimization and molecular dynamics revealed significant structural reorganization at the site of the cross-link including a ca 40 degrees angle between the platinated guaninyl residues, which propagated to adjacent residues by base stacking to yield duplexes bent by some 30 degrees toward the major groove.

Abstract
Physico-chemical and immunological studies have been done in order to further characterize the distorsions induced in DNA by the interstrand cross-links formed between the antitumor drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cis-DDP) and two guanines on the opposite strands of DNA at the d(GC/GC) sites. Bending (45 degrees) and unwinding (79 +/- 4 degrees) were determined from the electrophoretic mobility of multimers of 21- 24-base pairs double-stranded oligonucleotides containing an interstrand cross-link in the central sequence d(TGCT/AGCA). The distorsions induced by the interstrand cross-link in the three 22-base pairs oligonucleotides d(TGCT/AGCA), d(AGCT/AGCT) and d(CGCT/AGCG) were compared by means of gel electrophoresis, circular dichroism, phenanthroline-copper footprinting and antibodies specifically directed against cis-DDP interstrand cross-links. The four different technical approaches indicate that the distorsions are independent of the chemical nature of the base pairs adjacent to the interstrand cross-link. The general conclusion is that the interstrand cross-link induces a bending and in particular an unwinding larger than other platinum adducts and the distorsions are independent of the nature of the bases (purine or pyrimidine) adjacent to the d(GC/GC) site.

Abstract
The sequence specificity of interstrand cross-links induced in DNA by mononuclear and dinuclear platinum complexes in a 49-base-pair DNA duplex has been determined directly. This new assay takes advantage of the fact that 3'-->5' exonuclease digestion of randomly platinated DNA produces a pool of fragments of different lengths. This treatment allows identification of the spectrum of adducts impeding the exonuclease scission. Interstrand cross-linked adducts produce fragments that may remain complementary in the proximity of the binding site. As a result, these fragments may act as primer templates for extension upon subsequent treatment with a DNA polymerase. This extension increases the size of the oligonucleotide fragments, which may be evidenced by a more slowly migrating band on a sequencing gel. Concomitantly, the original band corresponding to the digested cross-link decreases in intensity. Therefore, comparison of a sequencing gel after digestion only and after the "digestion-extension" treatment should show the disappearance, or diminished band intensity, of only those fragments with interstrand cross-links. This approach was applied to the analysis of DNA interstrand cross-links formed by cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2] (cis-DDP) and [(trans-PtCl(NH3)2)2H2N(CH2)4NH2]Cl2. Cis-DDP was confirmed to form interstrand cross-links at d(GC) sequences but, interestingly, interstrand cross-links predominated in a sequence GCGG, with possible 1,3-intrastrand but no 1,2-intrastrand cross-links forming. The dinuclear compound formed 1,2, 1,3, and 1,4 DNA interstrand cross-links between guanines on opposite strands. In 1,3 and 1,4 cross-links, the guanines are separated by one and two base pairs, respectively, whereas a 1,2 cross-link is formed from guanines on neighboring base pairs.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The DNA binding properties of cis- and trans-[PtCl2(pyridine)2] have been examined and compared with their NH3 analogs, cis- and trans-DDP. The presence of a planar ligand reduces the rates of DNA binding but does not greatly affect the overall conformation of CT DNA, as measured by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The sequence specificity of trans-[PtCl2(py)2] includes alternating purine-pyrimidine sequences. The sequence specificity is further different between the two pyridine isomers, and the steric effects of two cis-pyridine groups are demonstrated by the appearance of relatively few binding sites in the 49-bp duplex. The effects of the pyridine ligand are further manifested by a greatly enhanced DNA-DNA interstrand cross-linking efficiency for the trans isomer, with a cross-link per adduct frequency of between 0.14 and 0.23, depending on the rb of the sample. The unwinding of closed circular pUC19 DNA by trans-[PtCl2(pyridine)2] is also more efficient than that by either DDP isomer, with an unwinding angle calculated at phi = 17 degrees (compare cis-DDP with phi = 13 degrees and trans-DDP with phi = 9-10 degrees). In contrast, little unwinding is induced by cis-[PtCl2(pyridine)2], with phi = 4 degrees. These results in particular invert the standard cis/trans structure-activity relationships observed previously for [PtCl2(NH3)2]. The results are discussed with respect to the previously demonstrated effect of activation of the trans-platinum geometry using sterically hindered ligands.

Abstract
Effects of ribonucleotides on cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin)-mediated DNA damage were studied by incubating pUC18 DNA with cisplatin in the presence of nucleotide, and by monitoring conformational change and sensitivity change to restriction enzyme HpaII of the DNA due to the platinum-DNA adduct formation. The cisplatin-mediated DNA damage was inhibited in a dose-dependent fashion by ATP or GTP, substantially at their physiological intracellular concentrations, and almost completely by 5 mM ATP or 2 mM GTP. The inhibitory effect of nucleotide on the platination of DNA was in the order of GTP > ATP >> CTP > UTP, and of nucleoside triphosphate > nucleoside diphosphate > nucleoside monophosphate. Nucleoside did not show any significant effect on platination of DNA. To elucidate the mechanism of the nucleotide effects on platination of DNA, interaction between ATP or GTP and cisplatin was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. The results suggested that ATP inhibits cisplatin-mediated DNA damage both by forming a platinum-ATP adduct and by non-covalent ionic interaction with cisplatin, while GTP acts largely by forming platinum-GTP adducts.

Abstract
Polyclonal antibodies that bind selectively to DNA modified by antitumour cisplatin and its analogues were isolated. The reactivity of the antibodies with the epitope was enhanced by thermal denaturation of DNA that had been modified by cisplatin before its denaturation. On the other hand, denaturation of DNA before its modification resulted in considerably less reaction of the antibodies. The conversion of monofunctional cisplatin-DNA adducts to bifunctional lesions increased the capability of the modified DNA to competitively inhibit the antibodies. The double-helical oligonucleotides containing a unique bifunctional adduct formed by cisplatin at the d(GG) site cross-reacted with the antibodies in contrast to the oligonucleotide containing a single monofunctional adduct formed at the d(G) site. In addition, poly(dG-dC) . poly(dG-dC) modified by cisplatin did not react with the antibodies. It was concluded that the antibodies recognized monodentate lesions, intrastrand cross-links between two purine nucleosides separated by one or more nucleosides and interstrand cross-links negligibly. The antibodies apparently recognized a chemical nature of the bifunctional adduct formed between two adjacent purines and not an unusual conformational feature of DNA resulting from the formation of this adduct. The antibodies were used to analyse the adducts formed by cisplatin on DNA of cultured cells exposed to this drug. During the subsequent incubation of the already exposed cells in the drug-free medium, a part of the bifunctional adducts of cisplatin was completely removed from DNA or transformed to the adducts not recognized by the antibodies.

Abstract
CB 1954 (5-(aziridin-1-yl)-2,4-dinitrobenzamide) becomes, upon bioactivation, a difunctional alkylating agent. It can be up to a 100,000-fold more cytotoxic in cells that are able to bioactivate it than in those that cannot. This increase in cytotoxicity is much greater than would be predicted from the conversion of a monofunctional alkylating agent to a difunctional one. We now show that the interstrand crosslink formed in the DNA of CB 1954-sensitive cells has some unusual properties. In Walker cells, which are able to activate CB 1954, the interstrand crosslink is the major adduct and can constitute up to 70% of the total adducts. These crosslinks are only poorly excised, as are those produced in V79 cells (which are themselves unable to activate CB 1954) by co-culturing them with Walker cells. Also, CB 1954 is approximately 10-fold more reactive toward the DNA of Walker cells than V79 cells. These observations may explain the extent of the increase in cytotoxicity accompanying the bioactivation of CB 1954.

Abstract
The anti-cancer drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cis-DDP) reacted with Tetrahymena self-splicing rRNA ribozyme, causing loss of self-splicing activity and formation of a number of platinated RNA species. The formation of one distinct platinated product, migrating at an apparent size of 2400 nt, was closely associated with ribozyme inactivation. This platinated RNA was resistant to T1 ribonuclease digestion, suggesting the presence of inter-strand Pt cross-links. The reaction rate of cis-DDP with the ribozyme followed first order kinetics and showed a saturation effect with increasing cis-DDP concentration, characteristic of an affinity-label type of interaction rather than bimolecular collision. The apparent KI for binding of cis-DDP to the ribozyme was 62 microM. Ribozyme treated with urea was not inactivated by cis-DDP, indicating that the native structure of the RNA is required for reaction with cis-DDP. Mg++, which binds to the ribozyme and causes conformational changes in the molecule, protected the ribozyme from inactivation by cis-DDP and also prevented the formation of platinated RNA. These results suggest that binding of cis-DDP to sites formed by certain secondary or tertiary structural elements of the RNA enhance the rate and the specificity of reaction of the reagent with the ribozyme.

Abstract
Cytotoxic effects of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum-(II) (cis-DDP) are thought to be mediated by binding to DNA. Studies on binding of cis-DDP to cellular DNA rely heavily on the availability of specific antibodies. We therefore raised and characterized four rabbit antisera: one against cis-DDP-modified DNA (antiserum NKI-A59) and three others against the cis-DDP-modified (di)nucleotides cis-Pt(NH3)2d(pApG) (NKI-A68), cis-Pt(NH3)2d(GMP)2 (NKI-A10), and Pt(NH3)3dGMP (NKI-A39). Reactivities to platinum compounds were determined in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and in a quantitative immunocytochemical assay. In the ELISA, NKI-A59 showed a high affinity for DNA heavily substituted with either cis-DDP or CBDCA [cis-diammine(1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylato)platinum(II)]; amounts of platinum per well giving 50% inhibition (IA50) were as low as 15 and 76 fmol, respectively. NKI-A59 also showed affinity to cis-DDP-modified poly[d(G-C)].poly[d(G-C)], poly(dC), and poly(dG). No affinity was found for trans-DDP [trans-diamminedichloro-platinum(II)]-modified DNA, enzymatically digested cis-DDP-DNA, or cis-DDP-DNA, or cis-DDP-modified poly(dA).poly(dT), oligo(dA)15.oligo(dT)15, oligo(dG)21, oligo(dG)42, or oligo(dAAAG)10. The efficiency of binding to cis-DDP-DNA decreased with decreasing DNA modification levels. Although other cis-DDP-DNA- and cis-DDP-(di)nucleotide-specific antisera have been identified, NKI-A59 is the first antiserum described that is suitable for the in situ detection of cis-DDP-DNA adducts at clinically relevant platinum levels. Adduct-specific immunostaining signals in cultured RIF-1 cells or rat liver paralleled platinum-DNA binding as measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The antisera NKI-A68, NKI-A10, and NKI-A39 showed high affinity for their corresponding haptens and varying affinity for non-hapten cis-DDP-DNA adducts. Their affinity for digested cis-DDP-modified DNA was up to 30 times that for intact cis-DDP-DNA. Neither NKI-A68 nor NKI-A10 resulted in specific immunocytochemical staining of cis-DDP-DNA adducts. We conclude that NKI-A68, NKI-A10, and NKI-A39 are suitable for platinum-DNA adduct analysis of digested DNA in ELISA and that NKI-A59 is suitable for platinum-DNA adduct detection at the single-cell level using immunocytochemical methods.

Abstract
The reaction of trans-diamminedichloroplatinum(II), an inactive isomer of cisplatin, with d(TACGTA) was performed in aqueous solution, and the interstrand cross-linked adduct was isolated on a preparative scale. This adduct was characterized by 1 M thiourea treatment, atomic absorption spectroscopy, enzymatic digestion and 1H NMR as platinum coordinated to two molecules of d(TACGTA) at the N7 atom of the guanine residue. This interstrand cross-linked adduct did not form a duplex structure in the conditions where the free hexanucleotide adopts it.

Abstract
1. Cytotoxic synergism of drugs cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP) and arabinosylcytosine (araC) was studied both on the level of interaction with DNA in chemically determined conditions and on leukemia L1210 bearing mice. 2. AraC and its structural natural precursor cytidine were tested for the modulation of kinetics of bifunctional adducts production induced by cis-DDP in DNA. 3. This process plays the basic role in cytotoxic mechanism and antitumor activity of cis-DDP. 4. No interaction was seen between cis-DDP and araC. Further, presence of araC in reaction mixture had no effect on cis-DDP-DNA interaction. 5. Therefore, cytotoxic synergism does not arise in the araC-cis-DDP-DNA interaction and its origin is different. 6. Finding that cytidine has no synergistic effect on life span of leukemia L1210 bearing mice when administered together with cis-DDP it shows the difference between cytidine and araC. 7. The small structural difference between cytidine and araC is very important for synergism of cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Bis(platinum) complexes [[cis-PtCl2(NH3)]2H2N(CH2)nNH2] are a novel series of potential anticancer agents in which two cis-diamine(platinum) groups are linked by an alkyldiamine of variable length. These complexes are potentially tetrafunctional, a unique feature in comparison with known anticancer agents. Studies of DNA interactions of bis(platinum) complexes in comparison with cisplatin demonstrate significant differences. Investigations of interstrand crosslink formation in which crosslinking of a short DNA fragment is detected by gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions demonstrate that interstrand crosslinks are 250 fold more frequent among bis(platinum) adducts than among cisplatin-derived adducts under the conditions examined. These investigations indicate that bis(platinum) adducts contain a high frequency of structurally novel interstrand crosslinks formed through binding of the two platinum centers to opposite DNA strands. Unlike cisplatin, bis(platinum) complex binding does not unwind supercoiled DNA. Studies with the E. coli UvrABC nuclease complex demonstrate that both linear and supercoiled DNA containing bis(platinum) adducts are subject to incision by the repair enzyme complex. Initial studies using UvrABC nuclease as a probe to define the base and sequence specificity for bis(platinum) complex binding suggest that the specificity of the bis(platinum)s is similar, but not identical, to that of cisplatin.

Abstract
DNA damage was induced in closed circular plasmid DNA by treatment with cis- or trans-diamminedichloroplatinum(II). These plasmids were used as substrates in reactions to give quantitative measurements of DNA repair synthesis mediated by cell free extracts from human lymphoid cell lines. Adducts induced by both drugs stimulated repair synthesis in a dose dependent manner by an ATP-requiring process. Measurements by an isopycnic gradient sedimentation method gave an upper limit for the average patch sizes in this in vitro system of around 140 nucleotides. It was estimated that up to 3% of the drug adducts induce the synthesis of a repair patch. The repair synthesis is due to repair of a small fraction of frequent drug adducts, rather than extensive repair of a rare subclass of lesions. Nonspecific DNA synthesis in undamaged plasmids, caused by exonucleolytic degradation and resynthesis, was reduced by repeated purification of intact circular forms. An extract made from cells belonging to xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A was deficient in repair synthesis in response to the presence of cis- or trans-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) adducts in DNA.

Abstract
Two non-transformed human skin fibroblast strains, GM38 and 3437T, were found to be more sensitive to the bioreductive alkylating agents mitomycin C (MMC) and porfiromycin (PM) under hypoxic compared to aerobic conditions. One of these strains, 3437T, was 6-7 times more resistant to these agents under aerobic exposure conditions, but was identical in sensitivity to the normal strain, GM38, under hypoxic conditions. Aerobic 3437T cells demonstrated no increased resistance to cisplatin compared to the normal strain, arguing against enhanced ability to repair DNA interstrand cross-links as the underlying explanation for the mitomycin resistance. The aerobic resistance of 3437T was not altered by dicumarol, an inhibitor of the enzyme DT-diaphorase which is believed to be involved in aerobic activation of MMC and PM. Dicumarol did increase the resistance of GM38, but not to the same level of resistance demonstrated by 3437T. These results suggest that the aerobic MMC and PM resistance of 3437T may arise, in part, from a deficiency in DT-diaphorase activity. The identical sensitivities under hypoxic conditions indicate that drug activation pathways operative in the absence of oxygen are similar in both the normal and 3437T cells.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was to analyze at the nucleotide level the distortions induced by the binding of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP) to DNA by means of chemical probes. In order to test the chemical probes, experiments were first carried out on two platinated oligonucleotides. It has been verified by circular dichroism and gel electrophoresis that the binding of cis-DDP to an AG or to a GTG site within a double-stranded oligonucleotide distorts the double helix. The anomalously slow electrophoretic mobility of the multimers of the platinated and ligated oligomers strongly suggests that the platinated oligonucleotides are bent. The reactivity of the oligonucleotide platinated at the GTG site with chloroacetaldehyde, diethyl pyrocarbonate, and osmium tetraoxide, respectively, suggests a local denaturation of the double helix. The 5'G residue and the T residue within the adduct are no longer paired, while the 3'G residue is paired. The double helix is more distorted (but not denatured) at the 5' side of the adduct than at the 3' side. In the case of the oligonucleotide platinated at the AG site, the double helix is also more distorted at the 5' side of the adduct than at the 3' side. The G residue within the adduct is paired. The reactivities of the chemical probes with six platinated DNA restriction fragments show that even at a relatively high level of platination only a few base pairs are unpaired but the double helix is largely distorted. No local denaturation has been detected at the GG sites separated from the nearest GG or AG sites by at least three bases pairs.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
