Suppression of ADP-ribosylation reversal triggers cell vulnerability to alkylating agents [PDF]
The ADP-ribosyl hydrolases PARG and ARH3 counteract PARP enzymatic activity by removing ADP-ribosylation. PARG and ARH3 activities have a synthetic lethal effect; however, the specific molecular mechanisms underlying this response remain unknown.

In Situ Evaluation of the GSH Depletion Ability of Various Alkylating Agents and the Protective Effect of Several Active Thiol Compounds Based on High-Content Cell Analysis [PDF]
The depletion degree of reduced glutathione is a critical indicator for assessing the toxicity of alkylating agents. In the present research, we have developed a novel method to evaluate the glutathione (GSH) depletion induced by a series of alkylating ...

Aldolase A and Phospholipase D1 Synergistically Resist Alkylating Agents and Radiation in Lung Cancer [PDF]
Exposure to alkylating agents and radiation may cause damage and apoptosis in cancer cells. Meanwhile, this exposure involves resistance and leads to metabolic reprogramming to benefit cancer cells.

Novel Pathways of Oxidative and Nitrosative Inactivation of the Human MGMT Protein in Colon Cancer and Glioblastoma Cells: Increased Efficacy of Alkylating Agents In Vitro and In Vivo [PDF]
Background: O6-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a unique antimutagenic DNA repair protein that plays a crucial role in conferring resistance to various alkylating agents in brain tumor therapy.

Polyphenols enhance the activity of alkylating agents in leukaemia cell lines [PDF]
Polyphenols have been shown to sensitize solid tumours to alkylating agents such as cisplatin, and induce apoptosis and/or cell-cycle arrest. Here, we assess the effects of five polyphenols alone and in combination with three alkylating agents: cisplatin,
