Our previous study found that caveolin-1 (CAV-1) protein expression is upregulated during oleanolic acid (OA)-induced inhibition of proliferation and promotion of apoptosis in HL-60 cells. CAV-1 is the main structural protein component of caveolae, playing important roles in tumorigenesis and tumor development. It has been shown that cav-1 expression is lower in leukemia cancer cell lines SUP-B...

Retinoic acid is known to cause the cell cycle arrest and myeloid differentiation of HL-60 myeloblastic leukemia cells. Evidence suggesting the possible involvement of the Fc RII immunoglobulin receptor in mediating retinoic acid-induced growth arrest and differentiation of HL-60 cells is presented. HL-60 cells stably transfected with the 205 mutant polyoma middle T antigen, a largely debilitat...

Cisplatin is a known antitumor drug, but its mechanisms of action are not fully elucidated. In this research, we studied the anticancer potential of cisplatin at doses of 1, 2, or 3 µM using HL-60 cells as a test model. We investigated cisplatin effects at the molecular level using RNA sequencing, cell cycle analysis, and apoptotic assay after 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours of treatment. The results ...

Retinoic acid is known to cause the cell cycle arrest and myeloid differentiation of HL-60 myeloblastic leukemia cells. Evidence suggesting the possible involvement of the Fc gammaRII immunoglobulin receptor in mediating retinoic acid-induced growth arrest and differentiation of HL-60 cells is presented. HL-60 cells stably transfected with the delta205 mutant polyoma middle T antigen, a largely...

Objective(s): The primary cytotoxic effects of anticancer drugs like idarubicin, a chemotherapeutic agent, are not limited to neoplastic cells; they also produce similar effects in normal cells. In this study, we hypothesized that the combination of idarubicin-bromelain could make cancer cells more susceptible to cytotoxicity and genotoxicity.Material...

The adherence of undifferentiated 51Cr-labeled HL-60 (0.5 x 10(6) HL-60 cells/well) cells was monitored on influenza virus-infected HUVEC monolayers. Whereas only 3.0 +/- 1.6% (n = 36) of HL-60 cells adhered to uninfected HUVEC, adherence was increased to 41.7 +/- 2.2% (n = 6), 79.7 +/- 1.2% (n = 6), 83.9 +/- 0.7% (n = 6), and 84.4 +/- 0.5% (n = 6) on HUVEC infected for 7 h at a MOI of 1, 3, 6,...

Cremophor (Crem) EL, the vehicle for intravenous delivery of cyclosporin A (CsA), has been reported to counteract multidrug resistance (MDR) in P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-over-expressing cell lines. Because of this, we sought to determine whether Crem functions independently as a modulator of MDR in blast cells obtained from acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patients, and the nature of its interaction...

Delayed growth arrest was observed in HL-60 acute promyelocytic leukemia cells after exposure to 6-thioguanine (TG). This growth arrest occurred in both wild-type HL-60 cells exposed to 2 microM TG and an HL-60 clone lacking hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) activity at a 500-fold higher concentration of drug. Both cell lines continued replication during an initial 4-day pe...
