Abstract excerpt
The treatment of human U-937 leukemia cells with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) is associated with induction of monocytic differentiation. However, the signaling pathways responsible for induction of the differentiated monocytic phenotype remain unclear. The present studies demonstrate that dexamethasone blocks TPA-induced U-937 cell growth inhibition, adherence, and alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase...
