Stability of cytoplasmic messenger RNA in HeLa cels.

The metabolic stability of pulse-labeled or long-term labeled messenger RNA (mRNA) from cytoplasmic free polysomes was measured in HeLa cells, with chase conditions that do not involve inhibitors of RNA synthesis, and chromatography on benzoylated-DEAE-cellulose or poly(T)-cellulose for isolation of mRNA. For these studies, a new chase technique was developed that allows analysis of the stability of mRNA labeled during a short [(3)H]uridine pulse. Pulse-labeled and long-term labeled mRNA were found to decay with an estimated average half-life of about 2 and 3 days, respectively, much longer than hitherto assumed.

Neocarzinostatin: report of a phase II clinical trial.

Fifty-three patients received intensive treatment with neocarzinostatin in doses of 3500 units/m2 by iv bolus infusion daily for 5-14 days. The response rate for 22 patients with leukemia was 9%. One complete and one partial remission were observed among nine patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast cell crisis. None of the 31 patients with solid tumors responded to treatment. With this dose schedule, prolonged thrombocytopenia and cumulative bone marrow toxicity limit the intensity and duration of neocarzinostatin therapy. Acute allergic reactions occurred in 28% of the treatment courses, and three patients developed anaphylaxis during the second or third course of therapy.
