General description

Mitomycin C is an antitumor antibiotic.

Application

Mitomycin C has been used:
  • to cease mitosis
  • in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) for inactivation and plating mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs)
  • as mutagen in mutagenicity assay

Mitomycin C is used as an inhibitor for studies of cell-free protein biosynthesis. It also inhibits DNA synthesis. It has been used as a genotoxic agent for tumor cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mitomycin C (MMC) acts as a prototype for drugs with bioreductive alkylation. It is mainly found to be active under anaerobic conditions. MMC exhibits a vast clinical antitumor spectrum effectively in gastric, pancreatic and breast cancer.

Pathogenic germline mutations in the RAD51 paralog genes RAD51C and RAD51D, are known to confer susceptibility to ovarian and triple-negative breast cancer. Here, we investigated whether germline loss-of-function variants affecting another RAD51 paralog gene, RAD51B, are also associated with breast
