Mitozolomide and its decomposition product MCTIC were found to be more cytotoxic to BE colon carcinoma cells in vitro than to HT-29 cells, another colon carcinoma cell line. In addition mitozolomide and MCTIC induced DNA interstrand crosslinks in the BE but not the HT-29 cell line. BE cells are deficient in the repair of O6-methylguanine lesions and are designated Mer-, whereas, HT-29 cells are proficient in this repair process and are designated Mer+. Thus DNA interstrand crosslinking produced by mitozolomide and MCTIC appears to correlate with the Mer phenotype. Pretreatment of HT-29 cells (Mer+) with the DNA methylating agent MNNG allows mitozolomide or MCTIC to produce DNA interstrand crosslinks. HT-29 cells also become more sensitive to the cell killing of mitozolomide and MCTIC with MNNG pretreatment. Pretreatment of Mer- cells (BE) had little effect on either cell killing or DNA crosslinking levels induced by mitozolomide or MCTIC. DNA interstrand crosslinking induced by mitozolomide and MCTIC is probably a consequence of an initial alkylation at the O6-position of guanine followed by a delayed reaction with the opposite DNA strand.
在体外实验中,发现米托唑胺及其分解产物MCTIC对BE结肠癌细胞的细胞毒性比对另一种结肠癌细胞系HT - 29细胞更强。此外,米托唑胺和MCTIC在BE细胞系中诱导了DNA链间交联,但在HT - 29细胞系中未诱导。BE细胞在修复O6 - 甲基鸟嘌呤损伤方面存在缺陷,被指定为Mer -,而HT - 29细胞在这个修复过程中功能正常,被指定为Mer +。因此,米托唑胺和MCTIC产生的DNA链间交联似乎与Mer表型相关。用DNA甲基化剂MNNG预处理HT - 29细胞(Mer +)可使米托唑胺或MCTIC产生DNA链间交联。经MNNG预处理后,HT - 29细胞对米托唑胺和MCTIC的细胞杀伤作用也变得更加敏感。对Mer -细胞(BE)进行预处理,对米托唑胺或MCTIC诱导的细胞杀伤或DNA交联水平几乎没有影响。米托唑胺和MCTIC诱导的DNA链间交联可能是鸟嘌呤O6位最初发生烷基化,随后与相对的DNA链发生延迟反应的结果。
