title: C-1027-induced alterations in Epstein-Barr viral DNA replication in latently infected cultured human Raji cells: relationship to DNA damage.
abstract: This study is the first detailing drug-induced changes in EBV DNA replication intermediates (RIs). Both EBV replication inhibition and damage induction were studied in latently infected human Raji cells treated with the enediyne DNA strand-scission agent C-1027. Analysis of RIs on two-dimensional agarose gels revealed a rapid loss in the EBV bubble arc. When elongation of nascent chains was blocked by aphidicolin, this loss was inhibited, suggesting that C-1027-induced disappearance of RIs was related to maturation of preformed replication molecules in the absence of initiation of new RIs. C-1027 damage to EBV DNA was limited at concentrations where loss of the bubble arc was nearly complete, and none was detected within the replicating origin (ori P)-containing fragment, indicating that replication inhibition occurred in trans. By contrast, the non-nuclear mitochondrial genome was insensitive to replication inhibition but highly sensitive to damage induced by C-1027. C-1027-induced trans inhibition of nuclear but not mitochondrial DNA replication is consistent with a cell cycle checkpoint response to a DNA-damaging agent. EBV replication and Raji cell growth were inhibited at equivalent C-1027 doses.
