Induction of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in human leukemic HL-60 cells by inhibition of RNA or protein synthesis.
1 Sept 1990
Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis is regarded as a suicidal cell response since the dying cell appears to be an active participant. Previous studies have shown that apoptosis of various murine cell types, induced by a variety of stimuli, required RNA and/or protein synthesis. However, when human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells were induced to undergo apoptosis by treatment with the calcium ionophore A23187 or microtubule-disrupting...
