Topoisomerase II is required for mitoxantrone to signal nuclear factor kappa B activation in HL60 cells.
Topoisomerase II is a target for a number of chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of cancer. Its essential physiological role in modifying the topology of DNA involves the generation of transient double-strand breaks. Anti-cancer drugs, such as mitoxantrone, that target this enzyme interrupt its catalytic cycle and give rise to persistent double strand breaks, which may be lethal to a ...
متن کاملThe α isoform of topoisomerase II is required for hypercompaction of mitotic chromosomes in human cells
As proliferating cells transit from interphase into M-phase, chromatin undergoes extensive reorganization, and topoisomerase (topo) IIα, the major isoform of this enzyme present in cycling vertebrate cells, plays a key role in this process. In this study, a human cell line conditional null mutant for topo IIα and a derivative expressing an auxin-inducible degron (AID)-tagged version of the prot...
متن کاملInduction of alkylator (melphalan) resistance in HL60 cells is accompanied by increased levels of topoisomerase II expression and function.
Human leukemic HL60 cells were selected for resistance to alkylating agents by stepwise exposure to increasing concentrations of L-phenylalanine mustard (melphalan). The resulting resistant cell line (R-HL60) was 4-fold resistant (melphalan IC50 value, 27.84 +/- 4.2 microM) to melphalan compared with parental HL60 cells (melphalan IC50 value, 6.9 +/- 1.78 microM). Nuclear extracts from R-HL60 c...
متن کاملTopoisomerase II is required for the production of long Pol II gene transcripts in yeast
The extent to which the DNA relaxation activities of eukaryotic topoisomerases (topo I and topo II) are redundant during gene transcription is unclear. Although both enzymes can often substitute for each other in vivo, studies in vitro had revealed that the DNA cross-inversion mechanism of topo II relaxes chromatin more efficiently than the DNA strand-rotation mechanism of topo I. Here, we show...
متن کاملNovel inhibitors are cytotoxic for myeloma cells with NFkB inducing kinase-dependent activation of NFkB
NFkB activity is critical for survival and proliferation of normal lymphoid cells and many kinds of B-cell tumors, including multiple myeloma (MM). NFkB activating mutations, which are apparent progression events, enable MM tumors to become less dependent on bone marrow signals that activate NFkB. Mutations that activate NFkB-inducing kinase (NIK) protein are the most prevalent among the many k...
