Abstract

Nuclear proteins in cisplatin-resistant (CPR) and non-resistant HeLa cells were assayed by 2-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The levels of at least 4 suppressible nuclear proteins were reduced in CPR cells. These proteins were partially restored in CPR revertants that are known to be less capable of repairing cisplatin-DNA adducts. Southwestern blotting assays indicate that in CPR cells at least 1 DNA-binding protein was suppressed, and concomitantly with it several damage-recognition proteins (DRPs) were induced. In addition, gel mobility shift analysis shows that DRPs were overexpressed in CPR cells. These results suggest a potential negative regulation in normal cells that may be important for the induction of DRPs and the emergence of a repair-mediated CPR phenotype
