چکیده

Topoisomerase (topo)-I targeting antitumor agents are very effective in vivo against various human cancers. The indolocarbazole compound 6-N-formylamino-12,13-dihydro-1,11-dihydroxy-13-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)- 5H-indolo[2,3-alpha]pyrrolo-[3,4-c]carbazole-5,7(6H)-dione (NB-506) is a potent inhibitor of the religation step of topo I reaction, like camptothecin (CPT). We established a NB-506-resistant cell line from murine leukemia cell line P388. This resistant cell line, P388/F11, exhibited 73-fold higher resistance to NB-506 and 3.5-fold higher cross-resistance to CPT than the parental cell line. No induction of cleavable complex formations induced by NB-506 and CPT were detected by K-SDS precipitation assays in P388/F11 cells. Analysis of nuclear extracts from P388/F11 cells revealed that the relaxation activity of topo I was one-quarter of that of the parental cells, and that the activity was resistant to induction of DNA cleavage by these drugs. Furthermore, Western blot and Northern blot analyses showed the expression of an abnormal-sized 170-kDa topo I protein and its 6.0-kb transcript and the absence of the normal topo I protein and transcript in P388/F11 cells. Analyses of the structure of the abnormal topo I transcript by reverse transcription-PCR and direct sequencing methods revealed that a large portion of the gene from codon 21 to codon 609 was duplicated in its coding region. This internal duplication resulted in in-frame fusion and, thus, production of a partially duplicated protein of 1357 amino acids. Finally, we expressed and purified the recombinant P388/F11 topo I in a baculovirus system. P388/F11 topo I showed similar catalytic activity to wild-type topo I, but reduced sensitivities to NB-506 and CPT. These results show that the altered sensitivity of duplicated topo I is involved in the NB-506 resistance of P388/F11 cells and indicate a novel resistant mechanism which involves duplication of the topo I gene.

Topoisomerase Inhibitors and Types of Them

Objective: In this paper, we have introduced topoisomerase inhibitors, mechanism of action and types of them. DNA topoisomerases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze essential enzymes to solve the topological problems accompanying key nuclear processes such as DNA replication, transcription, repair and chromatin assembly by introducing temporary single or double strand breaks in the DNA.

Cell adhesion to fibronectin (CAM-DR) influences acquired mitoxantrone resistance in U937 cells.

Cell adhesion to fibronectin is known to confer a temporally related cell adhesion-mediated drug resistance (CAM-DR). However, it is unknown whether cell adhesion during drug selection influences the more permanent form of acquired drug resistance. To examine this question, we compared the acquisition of mitoxantrone resistance in U937 cells adhered to fibronectin versus cells selected in a tra...

Some homological properties of amalgamated duplication of a ring along an ideal

In this work, we investigate the transfer of some homological properties from a ring $R$ to its amalgamated duplication along some ideal $I$ of $R$ $Rbowtie I$, and then generate new and original families of rings with these properties.

Mechanism of action of and resistance to quinolones

Fluoroquinolones are an important class of wide-spectrum antibacterial agents. The first quinolone described was nalidixic acid, which showed a narrow spectrum of activity. The evolution of quinolones to more potent molecules was based on changes at positions 1, 6, 7 and 8 of the chemical structure of nalidixic acid. Quinolones inhibit DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV activities, two enzymes ess...
