Abstract excerpt
Rat hepatoma cells lacking mitochondrial DNA (rho(o) cells) were used as a model system to examine the possible roles of mitochondrial DNA as a target for the DNA-acting anticancer drug Adriamycin (doxorubicin). The rho(o) cells were 45-fold less sensitive to Adriamycin than the parental rho+ cells containing mitochondrial DNA. Other non-DNA-acting drugs also exhibited similar behaviour, and this was shown to be...
