title: Enhancement of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum and mitomycin C-induced sister chromatid exchanges by dibutyryl cyclic AMP in a human salivary gland adenocarcinoma cell line in culture.
abstract: A human salivary gland adenocarcinoma cell line was cultivated in the presence of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dB-cAMP), cis-diammine dichloroplatinum (cisplatin) or mitomycin C (MMC) only, or of the combination of dB-cAMP and each of the antineoplastic drugs. Then the treated cells were examined for the induction of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs), colony-forming efficiency (CFE) in semisolid agar medium and cell survival as measured by counting for viable cells. It has been found that the frequency of SCE induction is significantly increased by treatment of cells with cisplatin or MMC under the presence of dB-cAMP, when compared to that in the cells treated with cisplatin or MMC only. Moreover, marked reduction in CFE and cell survival was found to occur in the cells treated with the combination of dB-cAMP and cisplatin or MMC. These finding indicate that treatment of a human salivary gland adenocarcinoma cell line with dB-cAMP results in modification of SCE induction, CFE and cell survival in the cells exposed to cisplatin or MMC.
