Neuroblastoma cell apoptosis induced by the synthetic retinoid N‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)retinamide
1 Nov 1994
Abstract excerpt
N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (HPR) is a synthetic retinoid with anti-cancer properties and lower toxicity than all-trans retinoic acid (RA). Neuroblastoma cells treated with HPR and observed by fluorescence microscopy showed clear signs of apoptosis, such as chromatin condensation and margination, nuclear fragmentation and the presence of "apoptotic bodies". Moreover, measurements on a cell-by-cell basis by the...
