Abstract excerpt
1-B-D-arabinofuranosyl cytosine (Ara-C) is, at very low concentrations, an inducer of monocytic differentiation of human leukemic cells. By what mechanisms this differentiation is obtained and how the monocytic pathway is determined, is not yet understood. We studied the effect of Ara-C on the RNA transcript levels of two c-oncogenes often associated to cell proliferation and differentiation. In the monoblastic...
