Preferential induction of apoptosis of leukaemic cells by farnesol
7 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
Farnesol preferentially inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of tumour-derived but not non-transformed cell lines. We investigated whether farnesol induces apoptosis of blasts from patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and leukaemic cell lines, as compared with normal, human primary haemopoietic cells. We show that 30 microM farnesol causes apoptosis of leukaemic cell lines of T- and B-lymphocyte,...
