title: Effect of bryostatin 1 on drug-induced, topoisomerase II-mediated DNA cleavage and topoisomerase II gene expression in human leukemia cells.
abstract: Unlike PMA, bryostatin 1 has been found to have a minimal effect on drug-induced topoisomerase II-mediated DNA cleavage and no effect on topoisomerase II mRNA levels. Furthermore, bryostatin 1 overcame the down-regulatory effects of PMA treatment on (1) drug-induced, topoisomerase II-mediated DNA cleavage, (2) drug-induced cytotoxicity, and (3) topoisomerase II gene expression. Thus, it is unlikely that the effects of phorbol ester treatment on topoisomerase II-mediated events are a direct consequence of protein kinase C activation per se. Rather, the results with bryostatin 1 suggest that the phorbol ester effects are related to more distal effects of phorbol ester treatment that may be related to monocytoid differentiation.
