We have studied the effect of glutathione reduction by buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), a specific inhibitor of gamma -glutamyl cysteine synthetase, on DNA repair after cisplatin damage in an ovarian cancer cell line with in vitro induced resistance to cisplatin. In addition, we have examined the effect of aphidicolin, a specific inhibitor of DNA polymerase alpha, in combination with BSO on cisplatin-associated DNA repair. BSO treatment was found to partially inhibit DNA repair, and the addition of aphidicolin caused nearly a 100% inhibition in DNA repair activity. Treatment of cells with glutathione ester after BSO resulted in complete recovery of DNA repair activity or partial recovery if aphidicolin was present. The significance of these results to the chemosensitizing effects of BSO medicated glutathione reduction is discussed.

D002499 Centrifugation, Density Gradient Separation of particles according to density by employing a gradient of varying densities. At equilibrium each particle settles in the gradient at a point equal to its density.

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.

D004257 DNA Polymerase II A DNA-dependent DNA polymerase characterized in E. coli and other lower organisms. It may be present in higher organisms and has an intrinsic molecular activity only 5% of that of DNA Polymerase I. This polymerase has 3'-5' exonuclease activity, is effective only on duplex DNA with gaps or single-strand ends of less than 100 nucleotides as template, and is inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents.
