Single- and double-stranded oligonucleotides containing a single monofunctional cis-[Pt(NH3)2(dG)(N7-N-methyl-2-diazapyrenium)]3+ adduct have been studied at two NaCl concentrations. In 50 mM and 1 M NaCl, the adducts within the single-stranded oligonucleotides are stable. In contrast, they are unstable within the corresponding double-stranded oligonucleotides. In 50 mM NaCl, the bonds between platinum and guanine or N-methyl-2,7-diazapyrenium residues are cleaved and subsequently, intra- or interstrand cross-links are formed as in the reaction between DNA and cis-DDP. In 1 M NaCl, the main reaction is the replacement of N-methyl-2,7-diazapyrenium residues by chloride which generates double-stranded oligonucleotides containing a single monofunctional cis-[Pt(NH3)2(dG)Cl]+ adduct. The rates of closure of these monofunctional adducts to bifunctional cross-links have been studied in 60 mM NaClO4. Within d(TG.CT/AGCA), d(CG.CT/AGCG) and d(AG.CT/AGCT) (the symbol.indicates the location of the adducts in the central sequences of oligonucleotides), the half-lifes (t1/2) of the cis-[Pt(NH3)2(dG)Cl]+ adducts are respectively 12, 6 and 2.8 hr and the cross-linking reactions occur between guanine residues on the opposite strands. Within d(AG.TC/GACT), d(CG.AT/ATCG) and d(TGTG./CACA) or d(TG.TG/CACA) t1/2 are respectively 1.6, 8 and larger than 20 hr and the intrastrand cross-links are formed at the d(AG), d(GA) and d(GTG) sites, respectively. The conclusion is that the rates of conversion of cis-platinum-DNA monofunctional adducts to minor bifunctional cross-links are dependent on base sequence. The potential use of the instability of cis-[Pt(NH3)2(dG)(N7-N-methyl-2-diazapyrenium)]3+ adducts is discussed in the context of the antisense strategy.

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.

D003432	Cross-Linking Reagents	Reagents with two reactive groups, usually at opposite ends of the molecule, that are capable of reacting with and thereby forming bridges between side chains of amino acids in proteins; the locations of naturally reactive areas within proteins can thereby be identified; may also be used for other macromolecules, like glycoproteins, nucleic acids, or other.

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).

D004249	DNA Damage	Injuries to DNA that introduce deviations from its normal, intact structure and which may, if left unrepaired, result in a MUTATION or a block of DNA REPLICATION. These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS.	DNA Injury,DNA Lesion,DNA Lesions,Genotoxic Stress,Stress, Genotoxic,Injury, DNA,DNA Injuries
