title: Studies on chemiluminescence and protein kinase-C activity of cisplatin treated mouse peritoneal exudate cells.
abstract: A single i.p. injection of cisplatin (10 mg/kg body weight) into mice results in a significant increase in chemiluminescence and ATP contents of the peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) than that of PEC from untreated mice. It is also observed that in vitro treatment of macrophages with cisplatin, rIFN-gamma and LPS show increased activity of the protein kinase-C (PK-C). The activation of PK-C could result in stimulation of NADPH-oxidase resulting in increased levels of chemiluminescence. Increased contents of ATP in PEC after cisplatin treatment also suggests that this activation is energy dependent.
