Description:
Depletion of intracellular levels of polyamines, which are believed to have a role in the intranuclear stabilization of DNA, alters the cytotoxicity of 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II in 9L rat brain tumor cells. Alkaline elution techniques were used to show that polyamine depletion alters the number of DNA cross-links formed by these cytotoxic agents.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tofilon, P J -- Deen, D F -- Marton, L J -- CA-09215/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA-13525/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA-31867/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Dec 9;222(4628):1132-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6417790" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
