PG - 1681-4 AB - Inactivation of O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (O6-AGT) in HeLa CCL2 cells by cisplatin was studied. HeLa CCL2 cells treated with cisplatin showed a dose-dependent decline in O6-AGT activity. After cisplatin was removed and replaced with fresh medium, the transferase level began to rise slowly. By 72 h slightly more than 80% of the activity was recovered. It seems that the activity of the alkyltransferase can be inactivated by platinated DNA adducts. The data suggest that the O6-platinum-guanine formation and the O6-alkyltransferase depletion are not responsible for cytotoxicity but may result in a base substitution mutation in mammalian cells.
