DNA interstrand cross-linking had been found previously to correlate with differences in sensitivity among human cell strains treated with chloroethylnitrosoureas. These differences had been attributed to the presence or absence of a specific DNA repair mechanism. The current work addressed the question of whether another DNA cross-linking agent, cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-Pt), would exhibit analogous differences between cell types. A normal human embryo cell strain (IMR-90) was compared with an SV40-transformed line (VA-13). Interstrand cross-linking and DNA-protein cross-linking were assayed by alkaline elution. As in the case of chloroethylnitrosoureas, the cytotoxicity differences with cis-Pt correlated with differences in interstrand cross-linking. The relative sensitivity of the cell lines to cis-Pt, however, was reversed. Similar DNA-protein cross-linking levels in the two cell lines excluded a difference in cis-Pt uptake or intracellular metabolic drug activation or inactivation prior to DNA interaction. It was concluded that the DNA repair mechanism that prevents interstrand cross-linking by chloroethylnitrosoureas does not prevent interstrand cross-linking by cis-Pt. Interstrand cross-linking by cis-Pt may be prevented by an independent mechanism.
