Effects of some polyamines, polyanions and antitumor drugs on replicative DNA synthesis and unscheduled DNA synthesis in vitro. 1979

S Seki, and H Misumi, and T Tanaka, and Y Kanzaki, and T Oda

The effects of various compounds on replicative DNA synthesis in permeable mouse ascites sarcoma cells and on unscheduled DNA synthesis in permeable cells or in isolated rat liver nuclei were studied. Polyamines such as spermidine, putrescine and cadaverine inhibited replicative DNA synthesis. Unscheduled DNA synthesis was inhibited by spermidine and cadaverine, but slightly stimulated by putrescine at low concentrations. Aurintricarboxylic acid, a low molecular weight polyanion, inhibited both replicative DNA synthesis and unscheduled DNA synthesis. Replicative DNA synthesis was inhibited by heparin, a high molecular weight polyanion, whereas unscheduled DNA synthesis was stimulated at low heparin concentrations. Antitumor drugs such as daunomycin, neocarzinostatin and bleomycin inhibited replicative DNA synthesis. Unscheduled DNA synthesis was inhibited by daunomycin, slightly induced by neocarzinostatin and highly induced by bleomycin. The present system was thought to be useful for studying the separate effects of various drugs on either replicative DNA synthesis or unscheduled DNA synthesis in vitro.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell

D006493 Heparin A highly acidic mucopolysaccharide formed of equal parts of sulfated D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid with sulfaminic bridges. The molecular weight ranges from six to twenty thousand. Heparin occurs in and is obtained from liver, lung, mast cells, etc., of vertebrates. Its function is unknown, but it is used to prevent blood clotting in vivo and vitro, in the form of many different salts.
