The ability of hydroxyurea (HU) to modulate 1-.beta.-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (Ara-C) metabolism was investigated in human leukemic cell lines. Exposure of HL-60 cells to 1 mM HU enhanced the accumulation of Ara-CTP up to 2.5-fold, whereas HU did not have significant effects on Ara-C metabolism in CEM cells. In addition, two adenine nucleosides, deoxyadenosine (dAdo) and 9-.beta.-D-arabinofuranosyladenine (Ara-A), which are known to be activated by deoxycytidine (dCyd) kinase as Ara-C, were more effectively phosphorylated after the addition of HU only in HL-60 cells. However, the changes of intracellular dCTP and TTP pools induced by HU, i.e. decrease in dCTP and incrase in TTP, were the same in both cell lines. Finally, dCyd production under normal culture conditions was at least 3- to 4-fold higher in HL-60 cells and was inhibited significantly by HU administration. These results suggest that the modulation of Ara-C metabolism by HU occurs at the level of dCyd kinase through the regulation of de novo dCyd generation.
