Effects of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (NSC 119875) on murine and human hemopoietic precursor cells. 1975

M Ogawa, and G R Gale, and S S Keirn

The effects of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (NSC 119875) on murine and human hemopoietic precursor cells were studied in culture. When murine cells from normal and actively regenerating marrows were exposed to cis-diamminedichloroplatinum in culture, washed free of the agent, and assayed for the surviving hemopoietic precursor cells, similar sensitivity curves were obtained. This result indicates the absence of cell-cycle dependency of cis-diaminedichloroplatinum. When marrow cells were exposed to cis-diamminedichloroplatinum in culture at various temperatures, only minimal reduction of cytotoxicity was noted at 4 degrees. This observation, unlike that from the experiment with nitrogen mustard, suggests that the transport of this agent is by passive diffusion. Finally, when the sensitivity of human hemopoietic precursor cells to this agent was assessed using similar conditions and compared to that of murine hemopoietic precursor cells, a significant species difference was observed.

D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

D004058 Diffusion The tendency of a gas or solute to pass from a point of higher pressure or concentration to a point of lower pressure or concentration and to distribute itself throughout the available space. Diffusion, especially FACILITATED DIFFUSION, is a major mechanism of BIOLOGICAL TRANSPORT. Diffusions

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species. Species Specificities,Specificities, Species,Specificity, Species
D013696 Temperature The property of objects that determines the direction of heat flow when they are placed in direct thermal contact. The temperature is the energy of microscopic motions (vibrational and translational) of the particles of atoms. Temperatures
