The effects of depletion of intracellular levels of the polyamines putrescine and spermidine on cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II)-induced cytotoxicity, sister chromatid exchanges, DNA interstrand cross-linking, and intracellular glutathione levels were studied in 9L rat brain tumor cells pretreated with the ornithine decarboxylase inhibitor (2R,5R)-6-heptyne-2,5-diamine (R,R-MAP). Pretreatment of 9L cells with R,R-MAP for 48 h decreased cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) cytotoxicity with an average dose reduction ratio of 0.55 at both the 5 and 10% survival levels; addition of putrescine partially prevented this effect. The number of sister chromatid exchanges and DNA interstrand cross-links was also reduced (31 and 38%, respectively). Within 24 h of treatment with R,R-MAP, intracellular glutathione levels began to increase relative to untreated control cells and were significantly elevated in R,R-MAP-treated cells 48-72 h after addition of drug. We discuss several mechanisms by which polyamine depletion could reduce cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) toxicity.
