Excision of 7-bromomethylbenz(a)anthracene (7-BMBA)-DNA adducts from exponentially growing cultures of Chinese hamster V79-379A cells followed logarithmic kinetics with a half of approximately 20 hrs. Post-treatment incubation in the presence of a sub-toxic concentration of caffeine markedly reduced this loss. Caffeine brought about a concomitant increase in overall DNA synthetic rate in treated exponential cultures. Excision in stationary, non-DNA-replicating cultures, was slower and caffeine did not affect this reduced rate of excision. These findings lend support to a previous proposition that the caffeine-induced inhibition of elongation of nascent DNA on a template containing chemical lesions results in an interference with the excision repair mechanism that removes these lesions.
从指数生长的中国仓鼠V79 - 379A细胞培养物中切除7 - 溴甲基苯并(a)蒽(7 - BMBA)- DNA加合物遵循对数动力学,半衰期约为20小时。在亚毒性浓度的咖啡因存在下进行处理后的孵育显著减少了这种损失。咖啡因使处理后的指数生长培养物中的总体DNA合成速率同时增加。在静止的、不进行DNA复制的培养物中,切除速度较慢,咖啡因不影响这种降低的切除速率。这些发现支持了先前的一个观点,即咖啡因诱导的对含有化学损伤模板上新生DNA延伸的抑制会干扰去除这些损伤的切除修复机制。
