✦ Synopsis

A radioimmunoassay (RIA) capable of quantitating dCTP in femtomolar amounts in cell extracts has been developed, and applied to human fibroblast cell lines and L5178Y mouse lymphoma lines. Cross reactivity of the antibody with CTP, though low (2.7%) has necessitated pre-RIA removal of CTP by either boronate affinity gel chromatography or sodium periodate oxidation. Fractions from the boronate gel column or aliquots of NaIO4-treated cell extract are quantitated directly by the RIA. Recovery of extracted dCTP standard taken through the entire procedure is quantitative and results are reproducible. Due to the high sensitivity of the quantitation step, dCTP can be accurately measured in relatively small numbers of cells--about 10(4) cells.

The expression of several cancer-related genes has been reported to be silenced by DNA methylation of their promoter region. 5-Aza-2-deoxycytidine (5-AZA-CdR), a potent and specific inhibitor of DNA methylation, can reactivate the in vitro expression of these genes.

The determination of grade and stage in renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) often fails to predict the actual clinical outcome for individual patients. The aim of the present work was to investigate whether it is possible to significantly improve the prognostic accuracy of the grading system by using the c
