Abstract excerpt
Numerous chemotherapeutic agents act via stabilization of a topoisomerase (topo) II-DNA complex. HL-60/AMSA, a human leukemia cell line, is resistant to intercalator-mediated DNA complex formation and cytotoxicity. HL-60/AMSA contains a mutant form of topo IIalpha that was thought to explain this resistance. However, our present data show that expression of topo IIbeta RNA in HL-60/AMSA is only 10% of that in...
