[Cell cycle regulation by anticancer agent].
Abstract
Some anticancer agents induce cell cycle arrest. We analyzed the effect of anticancer agents on cell-cycle regulators, such as CDK. Our data suggested that arresting cells in the G2-phase of the cell cycle by cisplatin might be regulated by dephosphorylation of cdc2 kinase. Butyrolactone I inhibits both cdc2 and CDK2 kinase in the cell-free system. The cytotoxic effect of paclitaxel shows mainly in the M-phase of the cell cycle. Suramin inhibits cdc2 kinase. UCN-01, a protein kinase-C inhibitor, also inhibits both cdc2 and CDK2 kinase. Some anticancer agents induce apoptosis.
