Human malignant T cell lines have high levels of deoxyribonucleoside phosphorylating activity and low levels of deoxyribonucleotide dephosphorylating activity. When incubated with deoxyadenosine or thymidine, the malignant T cell lines rapidly accumulate toxic concentrations of dATP and dTTP, respectively. This unusual pattern of deoxyribonucleotide metabolism renders the malignant T cells especially vulnerable to the toxic effects of deoxyribonucleosides and related analogues.
人类恶性T细胞系具有高水平的脱氧核糖核苷磷酸化活性和低水平的脱氧核糖核苷酸去磷酸化活性。当与脱氧腺苷或胸苷一起孵育时,恶性T细胞系会分别迅速积累有毒浓度的dATP和dTTP。这种脱氧核糖核苷酸代谢的异常模式使恶性T细胞特别容易受到脱氧核糖核苷及相关类似物的毒性作用影响。
