Mechanism of Inhibition of DNA Synthesis of Sarcoma 180 Cells by Liver Extract 1
نویسنده
چکیده
The inhibitory activity of liver extracts on thymidine incorporation into DNA was markedly enhanced by manganese and zinc. Manganese-activated liver extract (Mn-liver extract) also inhibited incorporation of deoxycytidine and adenine into DNA. The Mn-liver extract had no effect on incorporation of thymidine-5'-triphosphate into DNA but blocked the phosphorylation of deoxythymidine. The phosphorylation of deoxycytidine into deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate was not inhibited by Mn-liver extract. The results indicate that the inhibition of synthesis of thymidine-5'-triphosphate is the primary locus in the blocking of DNA synthesis and that the inhibition of incorporation of deoxycytidine into DNA is secondary to the lack of thymidine-5'-triphosphate.

متن کاملGnidilatimonoein from Daphne mucronata inhibits DNA synthesis in human cancer cell lines
The anticancer agents from plant sources usually exert their action through a wide range of mechanisms. As part of our studies of plants for new anticancer agents with emphasis on Thymelaeaceae family, we examined the cytotoxicity and anti-tumor activity of the water extract of D. mucronata leaves against induced breast tumor in rats. In the current study, we were interested to obtain some know...

متن کاملNucleic acid and protein synthesis of malignant ascites cells in the presence of liver extract and methylglyoxal.
The action patterns of methylglyoxal and a par ticular protein fraction from normal liver on protein, RNA, and DNA synthesis of Sarcoma 180 and Krebs 2 ascites cells were investigated. Results show that their inhibitory actions are distinctly different. Methylglyoxal preferentially inhibits protein synthesis, while the protein fraction of the liver acts on DNA and RNA synthesis. Introduction. A...

A better understanding of the mechanism of chromosomal aberration formation could be obtained by using DNA repair inhibitors. Immortalized normal human (MRC 5 SVI) and ataxia telangiectasia ( AT 5 BIV A ) fibroblastic cell lines were treated with adenosine arabinoside (ara-A) and cytosine arabinoside (ara-C), both potent inhibitors of DNA dsb repair, alone or in combination with x-rays at ...
