Abstract excerpt
Studies on the effect of retinoic acid (RA) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin (D3) on the differentiation of leukemic cells have provided insight into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying hematopoietic cell differentiation. We have evaluated the combined effect of these chemical inducers on the differentiation of HL-60 and AML-193 promyelocytic leukemia cell lines. Simultaneous RA+D3 addition potentiated...
