Sensitivity of CD95-mediated apoptosis has been reported to vary during cell cycle progression (FEBS Lett. (1997) 412, 91-93). Here, we report that three human glioma cell lines with different p53 status (i) undergo growth arrest and synchronous cell cycle re-entry after prolonged serum deprivation, (ii) do not exhibit cell cycle-related changes in CD95 expression at the cell surface, and (iii) do not exhibit cell cycle-related changes in susceptibility to DC95 ligand-induced apoptosis. In contrast, cell cycle-specific activity was demonstrated for various cancer chemotherapy drugs. Further, CD95 expression and susceptibility to CD95 ligand-induced apoptosis does not vary during cell cycle progression of Jurkat T cells, HeLa cervical carcinoma and HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells. These results do not support a role for the cell cycle phase as an important predictor of vulnerability to CD95-mediated apoptosis.

D002166	Camptothecin	An alkaloid isolated from the stem wood of the Chinese tree, Camptotheca acuminata. This compound selectively inhibits the nuclear enzyme DNA TOPOISOMERASES, TYPE I. Several semisynthetic analogs of camptothecin have demonstrated antitumor activity.	Camptothecine
D002453	Cell Cycle	The complex series of phenomena, occurring between the end of one CELL DIVISION and the end of the next, by which cellular material is duplicated and then divided between two daughter cells. The cell cycle includes INTERPHASE, which includes G0 PHASE; G1 PHASE; S PHASE; and G2 PHASE, and CELL DIVISION PHASE.

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.
