The Cisplatin-Induced Cellular Injury Response

  • Chapter
Platinum and Other Metal Coordination Compounds in Cancer Chemotherapy 2

Abstract

Treatment of cells with clinically relevant exposures to cisplatin (DDP) activates an injury response that eventually induces death via an apoptotic mechanism. The activation of apoptosis involves generation of a signal from a detector that senses the presence of DDP-induced damage, and the integration of this signal with information arriving from receptors on both the cell surface and in the interior of the cell. The ability of the cell to trigger apoptosis appears to be dependent on the integrity of these signal transduction pathways, and on the ratio of various members of the bcl-2 family of proteins and their heterodimerization partners in the cell. The molecular dissection of the signal transduction pathways involved has identified numerous opportunities where pharmacologic intervention may enhance the selectivity of the platinum-containing compounds.
