چکیده

After a 3-day exposure to 0.1 microM 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (ara-C) in culture, growth was inhibited to 5.6% in MOLT-4F, 25% in Raji, and 91% in Daudi cells compared with control. Growth inhibition was more profound when exposure time was extended up to 7 days. Inhibition of DNA synthesis varied with sensitivity to ara-C. Plateau levels of intracellular 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine 5'-triphosphate (ara-CTP) were 35.5, 13.4, and 3.6 nmol/10(9) cells exposed to 0.1 microM ara-C in MOLT-4F, Raji, and Daudi cells, respectively, corresponding to the sensitivity to ara-C. The nucleotide levels at the plateau, however, did not correspond to the initial levels of the ara-CTP or to the calculated rate of ara-CTP synthesis, which decreased from Raji to MOLT-4F to Daudi cells. ara-C deamination had negligible effect on the differential accumulation of ara-CTP. ara-CTP degradation due to dephosphorylation was marked in Raji and Daudi cells but slight in MOLT-4F cells. The half-life of intracellular ara-CTP was 204, 26.4, 31.1 min in MOLT-4F, Raji, and Daudi cells, respectively. The ara-CTP level was considered to be maintained bimodally by synthesis and degradation of the nucleotide. This conclusion was supported by the fact that, in Raji and Daudi cells exposed to 0.1 microM ara-C in the presence of 1 mM hydroxyurea, the plateau levels of ara-CTP increased 3-fold through inhibition of the nucleotide degradation. Thus, not only ara-C phosphorylation but also subsequent ara-CTP dephosphorylation was important in the accumulation and maintenance of ara-CTP and in the sensitivity to ara-C.

Pharmacology of fludarabine phosphate after a phase I/II trial by a loading bolus and continuous infusion in pediatric patients.

Fludarabine phosphate is a nucleotide analogue of adenine arabinoside with antitumor activity in murine and human lymphoid malignancies; it has occasional, unpredictable neurotoxicity after high dose bolus injections in adults. To avoid this toxicity, we studied a loading dose plus 5-day continuous infusion in 47 evaluable pediatric patients. Dose limiting myelosuppression was seen in children ...

Modulatory activity of 2',2'-difluorodeoxycytidine on the phosphorylation and cytotoxicity of arabinosyl nucleosides.

This investigation analyzed the metabolism of 2',2'-difluorodeoxycytidine (dFdC) in K562 human leukemia cells and evaluated it as a biochemical modulator for the phosphorylation of several arabinosyl nucleosides. The rate of accumulation of dFdC triphosphate was linear up to 3 h and maximal during incubation with 10 microM dFdC (92 microM/h). Deoxynucleotides analyzed at this time showed a decr...

Pharmacological and biological evidence for differing mechanisms of doxorubicin resistance in two human tumor cell lines.

The cellular pharmacology of doxorubicin resistance (DOXR) has most commonly been associated with decreased drug uptake, enhanced drug efflux, cross-resistance to multiple anticancer agents, and the overproduction of a Mr 170,000 cell surface glycoprotein (termed P-glycoprotein). In this study, the pharmacological and genetic characteristics of two newly derived human DOXR sublines were examine...

Effect of Propranolol on Angiogenic Factors in Human Hematopoietic Cell Lines in vitro

Background: Beta-adrenergic blocking agents have been broadly used for treatment of many cardiovascular diseases such as arterial hypertension and ischemic heart failure. Anti-tumoral, anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenesis effects of propranolol (a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker) have been shown. Angiogenesis (replenish of the pre-existing vascular networks) plays a critical role in s...
