Abstract
The results presented here demonstrate that expression of a fos ribozyme limits Fos protein synthesis and enhances sensitivity of A2780DDP cells to antineoplastic agents, including cisplatin. Moreover, the reversal of this resistance is associated with down-regulation of dTMP synthase, DNA polymerase beta, topoisomerase I and hMTII-A, genes previously linked to DNA synthesis and repair. Thus these studies further implicate the role of the c-fos gene in DNA synthesis through modulation of expression of dTMP syntase, DNA polymerase beta and topoisomerase I. Finally, the use of ribozymes to circumvent drug resistance suggests their potential utility as agents to inhibit tumor cell growth.Entities:
