Purine metabolism in human neuroblastoma cell lines

  • 1. The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario

Description

This paper describes in detail the metabolism of purine nucleotide as a possible target for chemotherapy in neuroblastoma. Two different human neuroblastoma cell lines established from surgically resected tumor were used in the study. For the assessment of nucleotide metabolism, labelled adenine, hypoxanthine, adenosine, guanosine, formic acid and glycine were used, and the incorporation of radioactivity into the respective purine ribonucleotides, ribonucleosides and bases was assayed. The cutotoxic effect of a number of drugs was evaluated in a chonogenic assay
