title: Effectiveness of chemical agents in removing platinum from DNA isolated from cisplatin-treated HL-60 cells.
abstract: Human promyelocytic leukemia cells, HL-60, were treated with cisplatin [cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II)] (2 mM, 1 h). DNA-cisplatin-protein complexes were isolated and exposed to thiourea (1 M), NaCN (100 mM), diethyldithio-carbamate (500 mM), or N-methyl-D-glucamine dithiocarbamate (500 mM) for 12 h. The release of platinum was measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Sodium cyanide was the most effective agent, releasing about 90% of the DNA-bound platinum. Thiourea was the least effective agent, while dithiocarbamates exhibited an intermediate. The ability of the same group of agents to split the proteins off from the protein-cisplatin-DNA complex was also evaluated and similarly dithiocarbamate were also the most effective.
