Cellular responses against DNA damaged by platinum anticancer drugs
The anticancer activity of platinum-based drugs such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin is mediated by their ability to attack DNA such that generated adducts trigger numerous cellular responses. A better understanding of these processes is critical for developing more effective therapeutic …

Cisplatin-induced nucleosome and RNA polymerase II modification mediate cellular response to the drug
… this study will facilitate the investigation of platinum-DNA damage by DNA repair processes and help elucidate the role of specific post-translational modification in NER of platinum-DNA adducts at the physiologically relevant nucleosome level. Chapter 3: Nucleotide Excision Repair of …

HPLC analysis to assess efficacy of cisplatin, nedaplatin, and oxaliplatin
Platinum drugs are one of the most widely used agents against cancerous cells. Cisplatin’s chemotherapeutic efficacy is limited by the increase of tumor resistivity and unwanted side effects. Cisplatin’s cytotoxicity is linked to its ability of forming 1,2-intrastrand adducts with adjacent guanine …

Understanding the functions of HMGB proteins in the mechanism of action of cisplatin
High mobility group box (HMGB) proteins are DNA-binding proteins that regulate many important DNA-related processes. They are known to recognize the major lesion present in cisplatin-modified DNA, and have been assumed to increase cisplatin cytotoxicity by "shielding" the damaged site from the …
