چکیده

Guanine-rich oligonucleotides (GROs) have attracted considerable attention as anticancer agents, because they exhibit cancer-selective antiproliferative activity and can form G-quadruplex structures with higher nuclease resistance and cellular uptake. Recently, a GRO, AS1411 has reached phase II clinical trials for acute myeloid leukemia and renal cell carcinoma. The antiproliferative activity of GROs has been associated with various protein targets; however the real mechanisms of action remain unclear. In this study, we showed evidence that antiproliferative activity of GROs (including AS1411) is mainly contributed by the cytotoxicity of their guanine-based degradation products, such as monophosphate deoxyguanosine (dGMP), deoxyguanosine (dG) and guanine. The GROs with lower nuclease resistance exhibited higher antiproliferative activity. Among nucleotides, nucleosides and nucleobases, only guanine-based compounds showed highly concentration-dependent cytotoxicity. Our results suggest that it is necessary to reconsider the cancer-selective antiproliferative activity of GROs. Since guanine-based compounds are endogenous substances in living organisms, systematic studies of the cytotoxicity of these compounds will provide new information for the understanding of certain diseases and offer useful information for drug design.

Guanine Oxidation in Double-stranded DNA by MnTMPyP/KHSO5: At Least Three Independent Reaction Pathways

In order to better define the mechanism and the products of guanine oxidation within DNA, we investigated the details of the mechanism of guanine oxidation by a metalloporphyrin, Mn-TMPyP, associated to KHSO(5) on oligonucleotides. We found that the three major products of guanine oxidation are formed by independent reaction routes. The oxidized guanidinohydantoin (1) and the proposed spiro com...

A novel optical DNA biosensor for detection of trace concentration of Methylene blue using Gold nano-particles and Guanine rich single strand DNA

The glass surface modification with 3-(mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPTS), gold nano-particles (GN) and guanine rich single strand DNA (ss-DNA) was utilized as a novel and efficient platform for sensing trace concentration of methylene blue (MB) by an inexpensive spectrophotometric method. Methylene Blue (MB) can interact with the guanine base of single strand DNA and absorbed onto glass s...

Guanine-rich telomeric sequences stimulate DNA polymerase activity in vitro.

Guanine-rich oligonucleotides and short telomeric DNA sequences can self-associate into G-quartet stabilized complexes. We discovered that this self-association can occur in sequencing reactions and that higher-order structures stimulate DNA polymerase to synthesize extended DNA strands. Base analogues were used to identify Hoogsteen base pairings as stabilizing forces in these stimulatory DNA ...
