Abstract

The effects of the antitumor drugs daunorubicin, doxorubicin and their complexes with Fe(III) on phosphoinositide hydrolysis, lipid peroxidation and protein kinase C (PKC) activation were measured in intact human platelets. Doxorubicin and the Fe(III) complexes of both doxorubicin and daunorubicin quickly induced lipid peroxidation [as measured by the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assay], phosphorylation of the 40 K substance of PKC, and increased levels of phosphatidic acid and inositol phosphates. Fe(III) alone or complexed to acetohydroxamic acid induced high levels of TBA-reactive material but did not affect either PKC activation or phosphoinositide turnover. In contrast, daunorubicin, which was ineffective per se, inhibited all these doxorubicin- and anthracyclines/Fe(III)-induced biochemical events. We suggest that phosphoinositide hydrolysis determined by anthracyclines, and consequently PKC activation, could be due to lipid peroxidation, thus triggering the activity of phospholipase C.
