Characterisation of cytotoxicity and DNA damage induced by the topoisomerase II-directed bisdioxopiperazine anti-cancer agent ICRF-187 (dexrazoxane) in yeast and mammalian cells

Abstract: Background: Bisdioxopiperazine anti-cancer agents are inhibitors of eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase II, sequestering this protein as a non-covalent protein clamp on DNA. It has been suggested that such complexes on DNA represents a novel form of DNA damage to cells. In this report, we characterise the cytotoxicity and DNA damage induced by the bisdioxopiperazine ICRF-187 by a combination of genetic and molecular approaches. In addition, the well-established topoisomerase II poison m-AMSA is used for comparison.

“…Furthermore, Ku80- and DNA-PKcs-deficient Chinese hamster cell lines display a hypersensitive phenotype, as assessed by clonogenic survival. In close agreement with our data, it has been reported that the DNA-PKcs deficient V3-3 Chinese hamster cell line was hypersensitive to m-AMSA [44] .…”

“…Furthermore, BRCA2- and Rad51C-mutant Chinese hamster cells show hypersensitivity to the Top2 poisons. In agreement with our findings, it was reported an increased sensitivity to Top2 poisons of XRCC3-deficient Chinese hamster cells [44] , BRCA1- and BRCA2-mutant human tumoral cells [49] , and a middle sensitivity of rad54 −/− and rad52 −/− chicken DT40 cell lines [32] , [50] .…”

“…Cells with different single-gene depletion display distinctive sensitivity to chemotherapeutics [ 12 ]. Likewise, human non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) H1299 (p53-null) cell is more sensitive to curcumin than A549 (p53-wt) cells [ 13 ].…”
