| Abstract | A novel assay to detect strand-specific DNA repair after cellular exposure to cisplatin at IC50 levels, is used to measure rapid repair in the divergent upstream gene (DUG), a human MutS homolog, and in the bidirectional promoter for dihydrofolate reductase gene (DHFR) and the contiguous upstream DUG. Single-stranded DNA capable of hybridizing to gene-specific probes is generated enzymatically by the 3'-5' exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase. The presence of cisplatin lesions inhibit the exonucleolytic activity of T4 DNA polymerase and block the formation of single-stranded DNA. This decreases the amount of complementary sequence produced when assayed by gene-specific probe hybridization. With the progression of repair, increasing quantities of single-stranded DNA become available for probe hybridization. This assay was applied to human A2780 ovarian carcinoma cells treated with cisplatin at the beginning of G1 phase. A dose-response experiment showed that the assay was applicable down to cisplatin concentrations of 2.5 microM. To assay for strand-specific gene repair, the synchronized cells were treated with cisplatin and then allowed time to repair in drug-free medium. Extensive removal of cisplatin lesions after 2 hr of cellular repair during early G1 phase in the DUG and the DUG/DHFR promoter was measured, with no evidence of repair in the unexpressed delta-globin gene. The extent of preferential DNA repair was much more distinct than has been observed previously at high-drug dosage in asynchronous cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
