The dynamic interactions between chemotherapy drugs and plasmid DNA investigated by atomic force microscopy

Abstract: The advent of atomic force microscopy (AFM) provides a powerful tool for imaging individual DNA molecules. Chemotherapy drugs are often related to DNAs. Though many specific drug-DNA interactions have been observed by AFM, knowledge about the dynamic interactions between chemotherapy drugs and plasmid DNAs is still scarce. In this work, AFM was applied to investigate the nanoscale interactions between plasmid DNAs and two commercial chemotherapy drugs (methotrexate and cisplatin). Plasmid DNAs were immobilized… Show more

“…This reduction in binding probability was comparable to the results obtained with the TGF-β1 antibody treatment (6.4 ± 1.9%). Additionally, Li et al [139] explored the nanoscale interactions between plasmid DNAs and drugs (methotrexate and cisplatin) and demonstrated significant alterations in the geometric characteristics of the plasmid DNAs upon drug stimulation. Moreover, Yun et al [140] investigated the biomechanical properties of HeLa cells before and after treatment with docetaxel.…”

“…164 In 1994, Zlatanova et al 165 used AFM to investigate chromatin structures. Chromatin was prepared from chicken erythrocytes and fixed by glutaraldehyde, which was then deposited on 172 showing that the stimulation of chemotherapy drugs resulted in significant changes in both morphology and geometry of DNA. Based on the DNA origami scaffold, DNA activities can be precisely observed.…”
