Abstract：
:DNA topoisomerase II is believed to be the enzyme that produces the protein-associated DNA strand breaks observed in mammalian cell nuclei treated with various intercalating agents. Two intercalators--4'-(9-acridinylamino)methanesulfon-m-anisidide (m-AMSA, amsacrine) and 2-methyl-9-hydroxyellipticinium (2-Me-9-OH-E+)--differ in their effects on protein-associated double-strand breaks in isolated nuclei. m-AMSA stimulates their production at all concentrations, whereas 2-Me-9-OH-E+ stimulates at low concentrations and inhibits at high concentrations. We have reproduced these differential effects in experiments carried out in vitro with purified L1210 DNA topoisomerase II, and we have found that concentrations of 2-Me-9-OH-E+ above 5 microM prevent the trapping of DNA-topoisomerase II cleavable complexes irrespective of the presence of m-AMSA. It also stimulated topoisomerase II mediated DNA strand passage, again with or without inhibitory amounts of m-AMSA (this result suggests that extensive intercalation by 2-Me-9-OH-E+ destabilized the cleavable complexes). From these data, it is concluded that intercalator-induced protein-associated DNA strand breaks observed in intact eukaryotic cells and isolated nuclei are generated by DNA topoisomerase II and that intercalators can affect mammalian DNA topoisomerase II in more than one way. They can trap cleavable complexes and inhibit DNA topoisomerase II mediated DNA relaxation (m-AMSA and low concentrations of 2-Me-9-OH-E+) or destabilize cleavable complexes and stimulate DNA relaxation (high concentrations of 2-Me-9-OH-E+).
