title: Effects of m-aminobenzamide on the response of Chinese hamster cells to hyperthermia and/or radiation.
abstract: The modifying effects of m-aminobenzamide (m-ABA), an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis, on 42 degrees C hyperthermia- and/or radiation-induced cell killing were examined in Chinese hamster V-79 cells. When cells were exposed to 42 degrees C hyperthermia in combination with m-ABA (10 mM), cell survival decreased compared with that for 42 degrees C hyperthermia alone. Thermosensitizing effects of m-ABA changed with treatments in a decreasing order of during and after heating greater than during heating greater than after heating. Treatments with m-ABA during and/or after X irradiation enhanced radiation-induced cell killing. When cells were exposed to combined treatment with X irradiation, 42 degrees C hyperthermia (60 min), and m-ABA (24 hr), cell survival decreased markedly compared with that for X irradiation alone. However, with both X----42 degrees C and X----42 degrees C----m-ABA, the enhancement ratios (ER), designated as D0 ratio, were similar. These results suggest that the mechanisms of radiosensitization by m-ABA may be similar to those of 42 degrees C hyperthermia.
