Abstract
To explain why 2-chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine (CdA) is unable to block DNA synthesis and cell cycle progression, and paradoxically enhances progression from G1 into S phase in the CdA-resistant leukemia EHEB cell line, we studied its metabolism and effects on proteins regulating the transition from G1 to S phase. A low deoxycytidine kinase activity and CdATP accumulation, and a lack of p21 induction despite p53 phosphorylation and accumulation may account for the inability of CdA to block the cell cycle. An alternative pathway involving pRb phosphorylation seems implicated in the CdA-induced increase in G1 to S phase progression.
