Cisplatin is an effective chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of testicular cancer and is used in combination regimens for a variety of other tumors, including ovarian, cervical, bladder, lung, and those of the head and neck (6) . Although many patients initially respond to treatment, a common problem is acquired resistance. This, as well as the intrinsic resistance observed in some patients, is multifactorial in nature and includes contributions from differential drug uptake, cellular detoxification systems, and DNA repair mechanisms (7 , 8) . The need for improved clinical protocols has prompted a search for new chemotherapeutic agents as well as a more complete understanding of the cellular mechanisms underlying resistance. Two new platinum compounds, oxaliplatin and JM216, show promise for the treatment of cisplatin-resistant tumors and are presently in clinical trials (6) . A recent report correlated the loss of DNA mismatch repair activity with enhanced sensitivity to cisplatin but not oxaliplatin or JM216 (9) . Nucleotide excision repair is also a major mechanism contributing to cisplatin resistance, and so we were curious as to whether this pathway discriminates between cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and JM216 adducts.
Several reports, using uniquely damaged circular or linear DNA as substrate and CFEs or highly purified proteins as the source of repair factors, have demonstrated that cisplatin adducts are removed from DNA during in vitro repair reactions (10, 11, 12) . In this study, we wanted to directly compare the in vitro repair of cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and JM216 lesions. To this end, we used a 140-bp linear duplex with a centrally located diadduct as substrate, CFE prepared from either human or rodent cell lines, and the excision assay to examine the repair of cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and JM216 diadducts. Excision assay substrate DNA has a 32P label near the lesion, and following incubation with the full complement of repair factors, damage-containing oligomers are released as radiolabeled DNA fragments that are visualized after gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. The results presented here demonstrate that both the kinetics of repair and the mechanistic details of excision are similar for all three platinum lesions.

-32P]ATP (7000 Ci/mmol; 1Ci = 37 GBq) was obtained from ICN (Irvine, CA).
CFEs.
The HeLa S3 cell line was from the stock of Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (Chapel Hill, NC). CHO cell lines were from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA): CRL 1859 (AA8, wild-type, parental); CRL 1860 (UV41, ERCC4, XP-F); and CRL 1867 (UV135, ERCC5, XP-G). CFEs (1020 mg/ml) were prepared as described (13)
from two to three liters of cultured cells in exponential growth phase and kept at -80°C in storage buffer [25 mM HEPES-KOH (pH 7.9), 100 mM KCl, 12 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM EDTA, 2 mM DTT, and 12.5% (v/v) glycerol].
DNA Substrates.
Oxaliplatin and JM216 react poorly with DNA in vitro, but their biotransformation products, Pt(dach)Cl2 and JM118 (Fig. 1)
, react more readily with DNA in vitro and form adducts with the same carrier ligands as those formed by oxaliplatin and JM216 in vivo. To further facilitate their reaction with DNA, cisplatin, Pt(dach)Cl2, and JM118 were converted to their aquated derivatives (Fig. 1)
by overnight stirring with a 2:1 ratio of AgNO3 at room temperature in the dark. A 12-mer (5'-TCTAGGCCTTCT) was incubated for 2 h at 37°C in the dark with aquated derivatives of cisplatin, Pt(dach)Cl2, or JM118 at a 10:1 drug:nucleotide ratio. Under these conditions, the major reaction product formed with all three platinum complexes contained a single Pt adduct located at the GG sequence. Complete details of platination reactions and purification of oligonucleotides containing a single Pt adduct will be presented elsewhere.4
These singly platinated oligomers were used for preparation of linear 140-bp duplexes with centrally located diadducts at nucleotides 6970 (14)
. Uniquely modified 12-mers were end-labeled with T4 polynucleotide kinase and [
-32P]ATP to introduce a radiolabel at the fifth phosphodiester bond 5' to the GG diadduct, annealed with a set of five complementary and partially overlapping oligomers, and ligated with T4 DNA ligase. Full-length substrate was separated from unligated products in a 6% denaturing polyacrylamide gel, purified by electroelution, reannealed, and stored in annealing buffer [50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.9), 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM DTT] at -20°C.

Mapping of Incision Sites.
T4 DNA polymerase 3'
5' exonuclease activity was used to map the primary sites of incision. If a DNA adduct is a block to the exonuclease activity, limited digestion with T4 DNA polymerase serves two purposes: (a) it demonstrates that the damaged base(s) is in the excised oligomer; and (b) it is used to map the 3' incision site. Excision assays were conducted with 50150 fmol of radiolabeled DNA and 125 µg of CHO AA8 CFE in 25 µl of reaction buffer for 45 min at 30°C. Gel-purified excision products were incubated for 10 min at 30°C with T4 DNA polymerase (0.25 unit) in 10 µl of buffer provided by the manufacturer [50 mM Tris (pH 8.8), 15 mM (NH4)2SO4, 7 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM EDTA, 50 mM ß-mercaptoethanol, and 20 µg/ml BSA] supplemented with 0.5 µg HaeIII digested 
DNA and visualized by autoradiography following resolution in 10% denaturing polyacrylamide gels. Similar analyses using radiolabeled, platinated 12-mers were used to identify the nucleotide(s) at which the exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is blocked 3' to the lesion. The location of the 5' incision site made by the excinuclease was determined by comparison of the primary 3' incision site with the length of excision products observed in the absence of T4 DNA polymerase digestion.

5' exonuclease stops four nucleotides 3' to the diadduct, we conclude that the 3' incision site is 10 nucleotides (or at the 11th phosphodiester bond) 3' to the diadducts. This in turn places the other incision site at the 17th phosphodiester bond 5' to each platinum diadduct.

| DISCUSSION |

|

Additional subunits are recruited to the damage site and, after enzymatic unwinding of the DNA helix in the area of the lesion, dual incisions are made by XPG and XPF·ERCC1 (1, 2, 3) . On the basis of T4 DNA polymerase mapping and other experiments (14 , 16) , we have reported that, for the majority of DNA lesions [including thymine cyclobutane dimer, (6-4) photoproduct, psoralen-thymine adduct, and acetylaminofluorene guanosine adduct], the incision made by XPG is at 6 ± 3 phosphodiester bonds 3' to DNA damage, and that the incision by XPF·ERCC1 is 20 ± 5 bonds 5' to the lesion, resulting in release of damage-containing oligomers primarily 2232 nucleotides in length. However, in the case of the 1,3-intrastrand d(GpTpG) cisplatin diadduct, the incision sites were reported to be at the extremes of the range: the 16th phosphodiester bond 5' and the 9th phosphodiester bond 3' to the lesion (13) . The major excision product size that we report (28 mer) is generated by 5' and 3' incisions at the 17th and 11th phosphodiester bonds, respectively. This suggests that "shifted" 3' incision sites may be a common phenomenon for platinum lesions, including 1,3-intrastrand d(GpTpG) cisplatin diadducts (13) and 1,2-d(GpG)-diadducts generated by cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and JM216.
With in vitro repair assays, we typically observe maximal levels of excision within 1 h compared with 624 h for cultured cells, and the overall level of repair is considerably lower than that observed for cultured cells, presumably because of inactivation of the enzyme in vitro and nonspecific degradation of substrate. Our finding of similar extents of repair for cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and JM216 lesions are consistent with reports that the effectiveness of Pt-dach complexes, such as oxaliplatin, in cell lines with acquired cisplatin resistance cannot be explained by differences in overall repair of cisplatin or Pt-dach adducts (19 , 20) .
A precise molecular mechanism for primary or acquired cisplatin resistance is not known, and in most cases, the resistance is multifactorial in nature. Because DNA lesions are considered to be the main lesions that cause cellular death, the efficiency of removal of cisplatin and its analogues by nucleotide excision repair is expected to play a role in drug response. It is not likely that the modest in vitro differences that we report for both the initial kinetics and the overall rate of repair would translate into more pronounced effects in vivo. We conclude that cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and JM216 lesions are removed with similar in vitro efficiencies by the nucleotide excision repair pathway, and that the mechanism of excision, as defined by the requirement for both XPF·ERCC1 and XPG and the location of 3' and 5' incision sites, is the same for all three diadducts. Thus, the effectiveness of oxaliplatin and JM216 in cisplatin-resistant cell lines is not likely to be due to the differential removal of these lesions by nucleotide excision repair enzymes.
