Characteristic abnormality of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate metabolism in megaloblastic anemia.
To elucidate the biochemical basis of megaloblastic hematopoiesis, the cellular content and metabolism of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) were investigated using the bone marrow cells from nine patients with untreated vitamin B12 deficiency and one with folic acid deficiency. The marked imbalance among four dNTPs was noted in all patients. dTTP was invariably elevated rather than depr...

متن کاملMegaloblastic anemia of pregnancy: characteristics of pure megaloblastic anemia and megaloblastic anemia associated with iron deficiency.
LTHOUGH megaboblastic anemia of pregnancy is considered mainly as a folic acid deficiency anemia, since this vitamin induces remission in most cases, its mechanism of production is still obscure. Dietary deficiency has been claimed to be the principal cause. However, this anemia has been observed in well-to-do women whose diet was satisfactory. Some other factors such as gastrointestinal upset,...
متن کاملDeoxyribonucleoside triphosphate accumulation by leukemic cells.
The toxicity of the deoxyribonucleosides, 2'-deoxyadenosine, 2'-deoxyguanosine, and thymidine, for human T lymphoblasts is mediated by the accumulation of the corresponding deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dATP, dGTP, or dTTP, respectively). We have examined whether leukemic cells of non-T-cell origin are capable of accumulating deoxyribonucleotides in culture and whether this capability corre...
متن کاملDrug-Induced Megaloblastic Anemia.
More than 50 years ago, Victor Herbert first described the concept that defective nucleoprotein synthesis, attributable to various causes, results in the development of megaloblastic anemia.1 Megaloblastic anemia is characterized by the presence of a hypercellular marrow with large, abnormal hematopoietic progenitor cells with a characteristic finely stippled, lacy nuclear chromatin pattern. Th...
