Depression of histone acetylation by alkylating antitumor agents in murine cells. 1984

H Zwierzina, and A Loidl, and L C Fuith, and W Helliger, and B Puschendorf, and H Grunicke

Treatment of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells with the alkylating agent triaziquone [2,3,5-tris(ethyleneimino)benzoquinone-1,4] and nitrogen mustard leads to a reduction of the posttranslational acetylation of histones. Acetylation of all core histones is affected. The reduction of labeling of acetylated sites is accompanied by a dose-dependent decrease in the extent of acetylation as indicated by the level of acetylation of H4. The depression of histone acetylation is expressed at all concentrations of the alkylating agents which cause significant inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. It could be excluded that the observed effects are caused by an impairment of acetyl coenzyme A synthesis.

D006657 Histones Small chromosomal proteins (approx 12-20 kD) possessing an open, unfolded structure and attached to the DNA in cell nuclei by ionic linkages. Classification into the various types (designated histone I, histone II, etc.) is based on the relative amounts of arginine and lysine in each.

D000107 Acetylation Formation of an acetyl derivative. (Stedman, 25th ed) Acetylations
D000477 Alkylating Agents Highly reactive chemicals that introduce alkyl radicals into biologically active molecules and thereby prevent their proper functioning. Many are used as antineoplastic agents, but most are very toxic, with carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and immunosuppressant actions. They have also been used as components in poison gases.

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.
