Relationship between deoxycytidine kinase (DCK) genotypic variants and fludarabine toxicity in patients with follicular lymphoma
2011, Leukemia ResearchCitation Excerpt :These analyses showed an association between C28624T variant and neutropenia, both for FCR period (log rank test, P = 0.014) (Fig. 2) and, for FCR and maintenance/follow-up periods (log rank test, P = 0.016). DCK activity is regulated at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels [4,24–27]. Genetic alterations may occur at the DNA or RNA level and lead to decreased expression [6–9,28,29].

2005, Bioorganic and Medicinal ChemistryTranscriptional regulation of the mouse deoxycytidine kinase: Identification and functional analysis of nuclear protein binding sites at the proximal promoter
2004, Biochemical PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :The kinetic regulatory mechanisms of this enzyme have been established [9–11], and recently, the crystal structure has been determined [12]. A relatively constant amount of the dCK protein in proliferating and resting lymphocytes suggests that its expression is not strictly cell cycle regulated [10,13]. On the other hand, dCK was found to be expressed predominately in lymphoid tissues, which indicates a cell type-specific regulation of the gene [1,10].
Activation of deoxycytidine kinase by protein kinase inhibitors and okadaic acid in leukemic cells
2004, Biochemical PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Studies of the mechanism(s) that control the activity of this enzyme are thus of particular interest. In contrast to thymidine kinase 1, also a deoxynucleoside salvage enzyme, dCK is not cell-cycle regulated, although some variations in its activity have been observed during the progression of the cell cycle [14–16]. Physiologically, dCK activity could be down-regulated by dCTP.
Selective activation of deoxycytidine kinase by thymidine-5′-thiosulphate and release by deoxycytidine in human lymphocytes
2003, Biochemical PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :The most widely used antimetabolites are: 2-chloro-2′-deoxyadenosine (Cladribine) [3], 2′,2′-difluorodeoxycytidine (Gemcitabine) and 1-β-d-arabinosylcytosine as antiproliferative agents [3] or 3′-azido-2′,3′-dideoxythymidine and (S,S)-isodideoxyadenosine as powerful compounds against HIV infection [4,5]. dCK is located in the proximity of the cytoplasmic membrane as well as in the perinuclear area [6] and shows a constitutive expression throughout the cell cycle [6–8], although 2- to 3-fold differences in its activity have been reported in different phases of the cell cycle [8]. Especially in resting cells, such as G0/G1 phase lymphocytes, thymocytes and splenocytes and central neurons, its contribution to DNA repair and membrane liponucleotide synthesis is indispensable [9,10].
The use of boron clusters in the rational design of boronated nucleosides for neutron capture therapy of cancer
2000, Journal of Organometallic ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Unlike TK1, dCK is not cell cycle regulated. It is expressed by a wide variety of cell types [53–57]. Various malignant tumors showed a two- to five-fold increase of dCK levels compared to the corresponding normal tissues [35,57–60].
