Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we have analyzed whether a small-molecule inhibitor of nucleotide excision repair (NERi) we recently found can potentiate the cytotoxic effects of cisplatin in cancer cells. The clonogenic survival assay revealed that NERi treatment increases the cisplatin-sensitivity of KKLS stomach cancer cell lines and A2780 ovarian cancer cell lines 2-3 fold. Using an immunoassay with damage-specific antibody, we showed that the removal of cisplatin-induced DNA intrastrand crosslinks is markedly attenuated by NERi treatment. Furthermore, in vivo experiments using murine Lewis lung carcinoma and C57BL/6 mice revealed that a combination of cisplatin and NERi significantly suppresses tumor growth, compared with cisplatin alone.
