Introduction of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates into intact cells by electroporation. 1986

J A Sokoloski, and M M Jastreboff, and J R Bertino, and A C Sartorelli, and R Narayanan

A simple method, employing high-voltage electric discharge (electroporation), was developed to introduce phosphorylated nucleosides into the cytoplasm of viable cells. HL-60 leukemia cells permeabilized by this technique remained viable and incorporated deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates into nuclear DNA. Furthermore, DNA synthesis was depressed for at least 24 h in HL-60 cells made permeable to 1-beta-D-arabinosylcytosine 5'-triphosphate by this methodology. Electroporation was found to be applicable to the permeabilization of a wide variety of cell lines in culture to nucleotides, suggesting that this methodology may be useful for the introduction into intact cells of a wide variety of molecules that are not normally transported effectively.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D002463 Cell Membrane Permeability A quality of cell membranes which permits the passage of solvents and solutes into and out of cells. Permeability, Cell Membrane
D003854 Deoxyribonucleotides A purine or pyrimidine base bonded to a DEOXYRIBOSE containing a bond to a phosphate group. Deoxyribonucleotide
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine). DNA, Double-Stranded,Deoxyribonucleic Acid,ds-DNA,DNA, Double Stranded,Double-Stranded DNA,ds DNA
D004560 Electricity The physical effects involving the presence of electric charges at rest and in motion.
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
