Inhibition by 1,10-phenanthroline of cellular DNA strand scission induced by the antitumor antibiotic bleomycin in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells was studied. DNA alkaline elution was performed on cells after 1-hr bleomycin treatments. Pretreatment for 24 hr with initial 1,10-phenanthroline concentrations of 0.2 nmol/10(5) cells, which depletes cells of ferritin iron by 80%, had no consistent effect on bleomycin strand breakage. However, simultaneous treatment with 3.1 nmol of 1,10-phenanthroline/10(5) cells and with bleomycin concentrations from 5 to 25 microM decreased both apparent double-stranded breaks and random breakage. When cells were treated with both 3.1 nmol of 1,10-phenanthroline/10(5) cells and 25 microM bleomycin, washed free of both drugs, and incubated at 35 degrees for 1 hr, the resulting breakage was equivalent to that found in cells treated with bleomycin only. When the combination treatment was extended to 4 hr, cell washing and reincubation resulted in increased strand scission, as compared with strand scission in cells treated with bleomycin only. Growth inhibition by bleomycin was not affected appreciably by temporary suppression of DNA strand breakage activity.
