Accumulation of γ‐globin mRNA and induction of erythroid differentiation after treatment of human leukaemic K562 cells with tallimustine
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
Human leukaemic K562 cells can be induced in vitro to erythroid differentiation by a variety of chemical compounds, including haemin, butyric acid, 5-azacytidine, cytosine arabinoside, mithramycin and chromomycin, cisplatin and cisplatin analogues. Differentiation of K562 cells is associated with an increase of expression of embryo-fetal globin genes, such as the zeta-, epsilon- and gamma-globin genes. The K562...
