Abstract

We investigated the synergetic effects of 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride (H-7) on cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (CDDP) cytotoxicity to KB cells, a human pharyngeal carcinoma cell line, and explored the possible mechanism whereby it exerted these effects. In vitro treatment with H-7 markedly decreased protein kinase C (PKC) activity in KB cells and significantly sensitized the cells to CDDP. Treatment of KB cells with H-7 induced a dose-dependent depletion of intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels. These results suggest that the decreased GSH content induced by H-7 may be involved in sensitizing KB cells to CDDP.
