Enhancement of sensitivity to platinum(II)-containing drugs by 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate in a human ovarian carcinoma cell line.

Sensitivity to platinum-containing drugs is believed to be a function of how much drug enters the cell, the extent of DNA adduct formation and the rate at which DNA is repaired. Activation of protein kinase C by 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) was found to enhance the sensitivity of huma...
