Altered Formation of Topotecan-Stabilized Topoisomerase I-DNA Adducts in Human Leukemia Cells
15 Mar 1997
Abstract excerpt
Topotecan (TPT) is a topoisomerase I (topo I) poison that has shown promising antineoplastic activity in solid tumors and acute leukemia. In the present study, a band depletion assay was used to evaluate the ability of TPT to stabilize topo I-DNA adducts in human leukemia cell lines and in clinical leukemia samples ex vivo. This assay showed that 50% of the cellular topo I in HL-60 human myelomonocytic leukemia...
