Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Wortmannin, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor, has been found to inhibit DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs) and to be an efficient radiosensitizer. We investigated the radiosensitizing effect of wortmannin on cell killing by thermal neutrons and the occurrence of mutations at the HPRT locus of CHO cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Wortmannin was added to cells at a final concentration of 20...
