Pinosylvin enhances leukemia cell death via down‐regulation of AMPKα expression

Abstract excerpt

Resveratrol at high concentrations (50-100 μmol/L) is known to induce cell death in leukemia cells. Here, we investigated whether pinosylvin, a resveratrol analogue, induced cell death in leukemia cells. Cell death was found to be markedly elevated by 50- to 100-μmol/L pinosylvin in THP-1 and U937 cells. It was also shown that pinosylvin induced caspase-3 activation, flip-flop of phosphatidylserine, LC3-II...
