Abstract excerpt
Human K562 cells, a multipotential cell line of hematopoietic origin, were found to differentiate towards a macrophage-like cell when incubated in the presence of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Differentiation was accompanied by the expression and secretion of a plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI). Incubation of the cells in the presence of other agents (dimethyl sulfoxide, retinoic acid, vitamin D3) capable...
